It took another hour to get the Tanners down to the street. There was a slight argument over a gym bag Tanner insisted on bringing, but he told them it had to come and he or his wife would hold it. Damon relented, wanting nothing more than to get the whole thing over with. The rest of the security detail had come down with them. There was no one left to protect in the penthouse. Tanner told his house staff they were welcome to stay, or they could try to make their way home, and that they could take any supplies from the place they could carry.

When they got outside, the Humvee had been turned around facing back the way they had come. Darrell was inside with the hatch opened, scanning the area through his rifle scope. Kevin was behind it with Alex. Brandon and Craig were watching the other direction. The sun was dipping lower in the sky. They had about an hour of daylight left.

They shared the plan with those who had stayed below. They got the Tanners inside and situated, with Darrell seated between them. They started unloading the back of the Humvee of all the food and water, keeping only one case of each. The case of water was placed in the front floorboard on the passenger side. Whoever was riding there would have to prop his feet up on it. They pulled out all the fuel cans and filled the tank, setting them aside as they were emptied. Jason climbed in the cargo area. There just wasn't room for another body.

"I'll stay here," Kevin said quietly.

"What? No, we're not leaving you behind." Hutch was firm in his statement.

"No, really, I think I need to. I'm sure one of these guys will let me crash with them … especially if I come bearing food." He pointed to the cases of MREs sitting in the snow.

Alex spoke up. "Yeah, he can stay with us. Felix has a place here in the tower. One of the perks of his job. Well, former job. We're all going to stay together. We'll take everything you guys leave back up with us and ride it out for as long as we can."

Damon looked intently at Kevin. "Are you sure? It's probably going to get really, really bad here. There's so many people …"

Kevin nodded. "I'm sure. Finish your mission, Damon. We all need you to do that."

Darrell was standing in the hatch opening. "Guys, we need to move. We've got company coming."

All heads turned toward the front of the Humvee. They could see a group of people headed their way, and they seemed to be picking up speed. Damon closed the back. He turned to the men staying behind.

"Are you guys good here? Can you get this in the building before they get here?"

"It'll be in before you get a block away. Now head out." Felix held his hand out to Damon. "Good luck, Major. God speed."

Damon shook his hand. "To you, too, Felix.
