Chapter 10

Noon approached, though winter’s hold remained in the form of a dark and overcast day that cast cold winds from the not-so-distant ocean. The remaining security officers and the few plant staff who were left had slowly but effectively, and without incident, withdrawn from their posts to make their way through the hostile plant. Hostile because there were more than a few people unaccounted for, and those people were more than likely sick now. Arguments had broken out about what to do for or about these people. Kyle understood and wanted to search for as many as he could, but didn’t want to spend the whole day looking. A spot check was done for the last known whereabouts for all missing officers. They had spotted a few on cameras, but they had already turned and were left inside the plant to roam.

Kyle had finishing packing some bags in the security building when Patrick stuck his head in and commented on most people leaving. Kyle, feeling that most thing were taken care of to his satisfaction, knew he now had to deal with Neil. He nodded back to Patrick, who left just as quickly, on his own errands. Kyle's anger had diminished, though he felt no remorse about his actions. He walked from the lieutenant’s office where he had been working, and walked across the now empty hall to the armory.

He opened the door to an almost empty room, except for the metal racks that stood waiting for their charge, its contents emptied to those officers who liked his idea of arming themselves. He walked to the back of the room to find Neil, still tied with zip bands and gagged, so as not to cause trouble. A few officers had spoken up about the whereabouts of his presence, thought most, having seen his actions, didn't give another thought for him. Those few though had remained to look for him.

Kyle leaned down and took the gag from Neil's mouth. Neil opened and closed his mouth a few times, while his eyes, full of hate and violence, never left Kyle. For his part, Kyle only saw a dangerous coward, and didn't feel threatened at all.

"You will pay for what you did," said Neil, more calmly than Kyle would have thought. "You disgrace your uniform and the service you were in.

Kyle, though calm, felt his fury begin to mount at the absurd commentary coming from Neil. "If you had just listened to me, Tim would still be living. You killed him with your pride and foolishness. That will forever be on you.”

"You have caused all these people to abandon their posts. The fifth general order says...”

Kyle interrupted him, his voice full of menace, "We are no longer in the military Neil. We are security guards and society is coming apart. That you cling so dogmatically to those orders shows what a danger you are. I am going to let you go, you have some people looking for you, but if you threaten me or anyone else, I will kill you.
