General Kennor sat in his office with the lights off. It was a guilty pleasure he’d developed over the years. No one ever seemed to knock when the lights were off. Not unless there was a war.

A rap on his door came a few minutes after he’d closed his eyes. He recognized the brisk, efficient knock.

“Flip the lights, will you Colonel Harris?” Kennor said. “I was trying to get some sleep.”

The glow from a bank of lights over his desk spilled over the room.

“Sorry, sir. Thought you would like to know that Colonel Wood has touched down at Plum Island. He’s relieved Lieutenant Colonel Jensen of his command and has taken over the post.”

“Good,” Kennor said. “Jensen’s a damn fool. I should have known I couldn’t trust him after New York.”

Kennor cursed himself for giving up so much control. He was already retreating from the cities. He would not allow himself to lose places like Plum Island. It was a vital piece of winning the war.

Kennor repositioned a picture of his grandkids on his desk. It was the only personal item he’d managed to take with him before he had been evacuated from the Pentagon. But there had been no armed entourage to take his family to an underground bunker. They had been lost in the madness of the outbreak.

“Sir, is there anything else?” Harris asked. He clasped his hands behind his back.

“Yes,” Kennor said. He ran a finger over the picture and then leaned back in his chair.

“Tell Colonel Wood I want him to oversee Dr. Lovato’s work. Everything goes through him. If she wants a goddamn test tube, she needs to get it approved.”

“Understood, sir,” he pivoted away from the desk and walked to the door.

“Oh, and Harris?” Kennor said, stopping him in mid-stride. “Tell him to monitor Jensen’s men. After that stunt they pulled on the Truxtun, I have questions about their loyalties.”
