Chapter Twenty-Three

ENGSTROM WATCHED AS the prisoners kicked the charred husk of the bug. She was afraid they were going to make too much noise and attract more bugs. But she did not care. They had killed one. They had killed it easily really. They would be able to kill more.

The bug hunt was about to begin.

Snake sidled up alongside Engstrom. "You gotta admit we handled that with class. You all should he hiring us out as exterminators."

"You got lucky, soldier." She could not help notice the wide smile on his face.

"Luck?" He winked at her. "Nah, I knew my crew was ready to back me up at a moment's notice."

"Next time be more careful."

"We need more flamethrowers. Burn the vermin. We get more flamethrowers this is going to be a walk in the park."

"We're not out of here yet. Let's finish the celebrating and get back to business. We get back to the ladder. Clear it. Get to the upper level and then get the hell out of here. We get Roy to open the door and then back to the Poros. Bring in more fire. Bring in more guns."

"And maybe an axe or two. Cause what's the fun of killing a few bugs if the heads aren't flying around the room?"

The crew kicked the carcass a few more times and moaned about not having a camera so they could pose with their kill.

"I'm taking the head," said Crunch. "Souvenir. The boys back home not going believe the wonders of what we did tonight. Bona fide bug killing heroes."

Hatt spit on the ground. "You're a stupid fool."

Crunch dropped the head on the ground and scowled, moving menacingly towards the little man who retreated back towards the shadows of the hall.

Hatt spit words out of his mouth. "You think this is all fun and games, sinner. You think you won something big here. You killed one demon. That's it. You think that's all there is. You don't think there isn't another one hiding around the next corner. Where's the rest of Engstrom's team? They were armed to the teeth. The demons are hiding. They're waiting for us. The hunters turning into the hunted. If you think all of us are going to make it out of here alive, you are truly a fat fool."

"Keep talking, little man. Keep talking."

Hatt disappeared into the shadows. "I'll find my own way. You all are just going to get yourselves killed with your foolishness. Can't you hear them? They're coming. Running through the walls. The end is near, sinners. The end is near."

Suddenly Hatt vanished completely in the darkness. Engstrom waited, expecting the man to re-emerge even if only at the edge of their sight. Engstrom spoke into the shadows. "Come on back out, Hatt. You don't play the fool. What's crazy is wandering these halls alone. No man alone is a match for these fiends. You saw what they did to Big T. There's strength in numbers. The last fight showed that. Come on back out.
