SIXTEEN – THE BLIP

Thirty Miles Northwest of Memphis

“Okay, okay, which direction do you want me to take?” Barry asked, calming his frustration.

“West,” Aldrich Yates answered. “Just west. That has to be the direction.”

From the moment he boarded, he sat at the little kitchenette table. He had what looked like a mini laptop, it was plugged in, connected to that was a device that looked like a phone. But the screens on both devices were black. He kept staring at them waiting for something to happen.

Rachel decided to try.

Tension was high in the RV. Obviously from the stranger who hadn’t said anything since setting up his dead electronics. He was pompous and snooty, he didn’t fit in at all, not even an inkling. In fact, Rachel had a hard time even imagining him getting dirty, let along taking out the dead.

Fifteen minutes into his arrival, everyone wrote him off as just a passenger that wouldn’t be around long.

Barry drove. Sandy went to her medical room. Rigs joined Barry after pretty much saying, ‘fuck it’ about the new guy, and Fred kind of sat nearby the stranger staring as if he knew that would unnerve him.

“So,” Rachel said, pulling up a chair and sitting by him … “Even though you won’t be with us long … what do we call you? Obviously not Al.”

“Obviously.”

“Will it be, Hey you or Rich, or Aldi?”

“Yates,” he replied. “Yates is fine.”

“Cool. What … what is all this?” she waved her hand around his electronics.

“This is my tracing system.” He touched the smaller device. “Portable.” Then pointed to the computer. “Main.”

“Tracer?” Rachel asked. “Tracing what?”

“The EPEV.”

“Really? There’s a tracking system on it?”

“It’s a bit more than that,” Yates answered. “The portable tracks it, the computer is higher level. That’s complicated.”

“I see. They’re both dead.”

“I know that,” Yates said. “They won’t be when they have enough power to power them up and run.”

“I see.” Rachel tapped her fingers together. “So you’re looking for the vehicle. See, I was under the impression that you were the sole survivor of your team because something happened. Maybe because you didn’t really communicate much through Morse Code.”

“Can you understand Morse Code?” Yates asked.

“No.”

“Neither can most people. They get the basics, I gave the basics.”

“But you are the sole survivor?” Rachel asked.

“I hope not,” Yates replied. “That’s why I am waiting for these to power up. If I find the EPEV, I can find my team.”

“So your team is with the vehicle?”

“When they were taken, yes. We were ambushed.”

“Oh. Oh.” Rachel faced the front of the RV. “Rigs, we have a marauder story.”

“I don’t care!” Rigs replied.

Rachel shrugged. “What happened, Yates?”

“We were in Texas when we got word to head east. We stopped in this town in Arkansas. Sweep team had been there, Eliminators thought it was safe. Outskirts of the town and even inside, I saw movement. I knew it wasn’t the dead. They didn’t buy it. I pulled the short straw and had to unload the night’s supplies. I took the first load into the house when I head the EPEV leaving.
