“The Mog wasn’t too great for the pilots or the Rangers,” said Kevin.

“Which is why we have to fucking get our asses outta this vulnerable position.”

Matt sat up. His legs felt like jelly. Stomach gave twinges of nausea. Get up, he told his body.

The wind shifted, forcing the smoke pillar to go in the other direction and clearing the space around them.

Chris stood at the railing where a tall chain-link fence ran the length, apparently for people to not jump off or drop things down onto the highway below.

“I see the motherfuckers. They on four-wheelers. ATVs. Coming this way down this here highway. Got rows of derelict cars all over the place.”

“Scout,” Peter called on Pez. “You go that way. Someone the other way. We need to know where’s the best way to go.”

“I’m on it.” Pez collected himself from his grief and ran in one direction.

“Good legs, get the other. Move it, people!”

“I’ll go,” Tyler said.

“No. How about a soldier. Alden, you go.”

“Trying to get me killed?”

“Only as a bonus. Carry your weight and go.”

Chris barked, “Obey the staff sergeant, Sergeant Alden.”

His sergeant's voice worked. Kevin went in the direction indicated.

Tyler said, “There’s a McDonald’s that way.”

The golden arches sign rose high in the air from somewhere in the distance. The other direction had trees and houses.

Matt got to his feet and looked through the chain-link fence. Normal dual-direction, multi-laned highway separated by a medium. Cars stretched into the distance as far as he could see. They were of every color, make, and model, plus RVs and trailers. Possessions strapped to rooftops. Trunks bungeed as they overflowed. The usual sight when people tried to evacuate from an outbreak. All of the vehicles faced the north direction. The opposite side across the medium had been opened up to evac as well, crowded with abandoned vehicles facing north. All except for the outside lane, which was normal procedure to keep at least one lane reserved for emergency and military vehicles.

Among the abandoned cars, all-terrain vehicles moved along snow-laded shoulders.

“Oh, shit,” Matt muttered.

Each ATV appeared to carry two people, one steering, one behind. Small pickup trucks and SUVs came down the emergency lane.

“I’m estimating about thirty assholes,” said Peter.

Phebe moved to the fence, standing between them.

“Are you okay?” Matt asked her.

She nodded.

“Any cramping?”

Her hands moved to her abdomen. “No.”

“Can you run?” Peter asked her.

“I believe so.”

“Em, you good to run?”

Matt looked back. Brandon, of course, had her in his arms.

“Yeah,” Emily answered.

“Good,” responded Peter. “Cos I’m thinking we may have to do that soon.”

Excited Yahoos and Yays mixed with Get ‘em from below, growing closer.

Black Hawk Down ran through everyone’s minds, the movie since only Peter had read the book. RPG fired by locals hitting a Black Hawk was how that mess started.

“I’ve seen that fucking movie,” Emily barked. “They didn’t have any women.”

“Yeah,” said Matt. “Rangers are not female.”

“Totally not good.”

“Got ya.”

A whole other personal bodily threat: Rape. Violent and brutal, probably multiples, a threat for women, the ones usually targeted though possibly not exclusively targeted.
