Chapter 6

The RV pulls into the lot of D&W and I see instantly that what looks like a giant abandoned warehouse from the road is actually a functioning business. Or at least it was at one time, likely right up until the world came to a stop.

At the end of the caterpillar-shaped tube is a well-designed entrance with blonde wood paneling and windows that rise up about halfway to the roof where they join with a second story front-facing patio. It’s quite gorgeous, actually, the design of someone with unlimited funds. It’s a building you would find on the cover of an architecture magazine, though this whole section of the building is completely hidden from the interstate, a secluded gem in plain sight.

“What the hell is ‘D&W,’” Smalley asks. “Sounds like some kind of root beer or something.”

“That’s A&W,” Stanton replies.

“I just said it sounded like it.”

Abramowitz stares at his two subordinates for a moment and then asks, “Are you two almost done?”

They both shrug and nod, and the four of us—Abramowitz, Smalley, Stanton and I—follow Jones, who is already standing at the base of the structure, staring up toward the roof. “How tall do you think this thing is?” he asks. “Seventy-five feet? A hundred?”

“It’s damn tall,” Abramowitz replies. “Could definitely fit a 747 under this thing. Can you imagine how much it cost to build?”

“No way this is some giant hangar though,” Stanton says. “There’s no airport or airbase anywhere close to here.”

“Maybe they build planes inside,” Smalley suggests. “You know, and then ship them off to somewhere else when they’re complete.”

“That could be,” Stanton concedes.

I stare at the Smalley and Stanton for a long beat, disbelieving, making sure they’re serious about the possibility they’ve just constructed before offering the rebuttal. Finally, I say, “You two obviously are not from this area. Airplane factory? Are you kidding me? If this was an airplane factory it would be the biggest employer in five counties. Maybe the whole state. I pass this building all the time and never give it two looks—I think that’s how the designers intended it. But I know it’s no airplane factory.”

“So why are you looking now?” Abramowitz asks.

“What’s that?”

“You said you never noticed this place. Why do you notice it now?”

I nod up towards the top of the building at the blue letters that hover above us. “D&W.”

“What about it?”

“The letters were faintly written on the side of the building. I saw them from the interstate.

“So?”

“It’s the name of the company where those scientists I was telling you about worked. The ones who were sent out to my college, ostensibly to observe the aftermath of the event.”

“I thought you said they worked for the colonel,” Jones says. “What do they have to do with this place?”

“No, I didn’t say ‘they’ worked for anyone. I told you it was only the guy who was working with the colonel. The other one, the woman, she wasn’t involved with him. At least I don’t think so, though I think she might know more than she’s admitting.
