CHAPTER FIVE

Captain Kersey stood in the middle of the break room, the radio firmly in hand as he awaited a response from Kowalski. Standing beside him were Corporal Bretz and Private Wade, both of whom had been listening to the entire conversation.

"I don't like the way this is sounding, Kersey," Bretz said, his voice tinged with concern.

"Me either, Corporal," Kersey replied, his tone equally uneasy.

"Do you want me to get a vehicle ready, Cap?" Wade asked.

"Yeah," Kersey agreed. "And let the others know to be on alert. If our Militia watchers out there see us leaving, they might make a play for the factory."

"Shoot on sight orders?" Wade inquired, his eyes narrowing as he prepared for the worst.

"If anybody gets within a quarter mile, they're to light them up," Kersey instructed with a grim nod.

"Copy that," Wade responded before exiting the room, leaving Kersey and Bretz staring down at the radio, almost as if they were willing it back to life. But nothing came through.

"I'm good to lead this excursion if you want me to," Bretz offered, breaking the silence. "I can take a couple of the newbies and—"

Kersey began shaking his head at the idea, causing Bretz to trail off without finishing his thought.

"This whole thing stinks, Bretz," Kersey said, his voice filled with frustration. "Either the militia planted those docs at the last factory and laid a trap for us, or the info was legit, and the militia is going to pull out all the stops to secure the goods. Either way, our boys are in trouble, and I aim to get them out of it."

Bretz nodded, admiration for his Captain evident in his expression. His mindset was a firm reminder of why he was willing to follow Kersey anywhere.

After a few more tense moments of waiting, the radio crackled to life, but instead of a clear signal, it was filled with static and difficult to hear.

"Cap, we're in trouble! Someone is jamming our signal!" Kowalski's voice came through, distorted and fragmented.

"Say again, Kowalski. You're breaking up," Kersey said urgently, pressing the radio right up to his ear, struggling to hear through the static. While he could hear Kowalski's voice, the poor connection made it impossible to understand what he was saying.

"Let's move," Kersey ordered.

Kersey burst out of the break room, Bretz following close behind as they ran through the factory toward the back. As they exited the building, Wade pulled up in an SUV.

"So we're on?" Wade asked.

"Yeah, they're in trouble," Bretz confirmed.

"I'll get us there quick," Wade assured them.

"We're making a stop first," Kersey interjected.

"Yes sir. Just tell me where we're going," Wade said.

"Get us to that rental truck place where we borrowed the transport vans," Kersey instructed.

"I'm on it," Wade replied, immediately setting the SUV in motion.

As Wade peeled out from the parking lot of the factory, Bretz looked back at the Captain with a confused expression. "What are you thinking, Kersey?"

"Kowalski said they have thousands of those things approaching from the east, so we're going to have to take the long way around and approach from the west," Kersey explained.
