Chapter 37

A pickup, driven by Elliott, came up fast on the parked Humvee. Scar and Meeks stood on the bed and leaned on the roll bar for balance, holding their rifles. They barreled across the dry, dusty field, out of the setting sun, which hid them from the view of the Humvee.

“Ram it,” ordered Winters.

Elliott closed in as Scar and Meeks began to fire at the armored vehicle. They concentrated their aim on the soldier perched out of the Humvee turret holding an AT4.

Bullets ricochet off the turret getting the soldier’s attention, and he dropped down into the Humvee, causing him to lose his grip on the launcher. It rolled off the roof and onto the ground as they pulled away.

Scar and Meeks fired again as Elliott kept up the chase. The Humvee swerved and headed out of the field. Elliott followed suit and went after them.

Scar squatted and peered through the rear sliding window. “We won’t be able to stop them—it’s an armored vehicle.”

Winters told Elliott to keep after them to get them away from the transports. They continued the chase until finally letting them go and coming to a stop.

“Better to let them go, Captain. Wouldn’t be too long before they had reinforcements, and then we’d be in a world of hurt,” said Scar.

Winters turned to Elliott. “Think we can find that RPG?”

Meeks' eyes lit up. “Oh, hell yeah, be one fine addition to our small armory.”

Elliott turned around and went back to the field. A few minutes later, Meeks yelled, “Stop! We just passed it.”

Elliott backed up until he saw it in his side mirror. Meeks retrieved the prize and handed it to Scar.

Scar held it like a baby and broke out in a big grin. “Gentleman, this here is an AT4. Lightweight and quite destructive.

“It's not an RPG?” asked Meeks.

“No. Single use only.”

“Well, I'm still calling it an RPG,” said Meeks.

Scar shrugged his shoulders.

Winters turned to Elliott. “Let’s go catch up with the others.”

Elliott let off the brake and headed eastward to the main highway. Once on the pavement, he picked up speed, and twenty minutes later, they caught up to the transports. Winters wanted to get as far away from their pursuers as possible before they pulled over for the night.

An hour later, they pulled into an empty field and found a secure location far enough off the main road where they felt safe lighting a fire. The trucks parked in a large circle, and the men disembarked. Getting out of those rough riding trucks put everyone in a better mood.

Winters' legs cramped up when his feet touched the ground. He tried working out the kinks while looking around at the men. Everyone was still pumped up with the excitement of the chase. Their animated voices reverberated as they chatted about the day’s events.

Winters hobbled off to the side, still trying to work the cramps out. Elliott walked over to him and handed him a jug of water. Winters grabbed it and drank the cool liquid.
