Chapter 10

“Holy shit.” I grinned.

“Thank god, right,” Tara laughed. “I was starting to think we’d come all this way for nothing.”

“So was I,” I agreed.

“We do still have one problem,” Paige said, and she pursed her lips.

“What is it?” I asked, and my eyes narrowed on the brunette.

“We have to figure out how to haul it,” she said.

“Right,” I sighed.

“They’re on wheels.” Anna shrugged. “It can’t be too hard.”

“These things weigh a lot,” I told her.

“At least we only have to move one of them now,” the redhead pointed out.

“That’s true,” I agreed, and I walked around the machine. It was on wheels, and at the front appeared to be a tow hitch system just like the howitzer so it could be easily moved. It looked like we would be able to attach it to the jeep, which was good news for us.

“What do you think?” Paige asked as I circled back around to her and the girls.

“It looks like we can attach it to the jeep,” I said.

“That’s great.” Bailey smiled. “Easy peasy.”

“Then let’s get this thing hooked up and head over to the attack point,” the redhead said.

“How are we going to hook it up?” Tara asked.

“I’m going to have to pull the jeep over here,” I told her. “But we’re still going to have to attach it ourselves.”

“You said these things are pretty heavy, yeah?” Bailey asked, and she bit her lip. “You think we’ll be able to lift it enough to get it hooked on right?”

“We’re going to have to,” I said with a determined nod.

The girls nodded at me, and I headed back over to the jeep and jumped in the driver’s seat.

The tires of the jeep sank into the grass as I drove over to the gazebo and backed up into it. Anna gestured me back further, and just when I thought I couldn’t go any further without hitting the Skysweeper, she held up a hand to stop me.

“Alright,” I said as I hopped out, and I rubbed my hands together and smiled. “Who’s ready for some heavy lifting?”

“Normally, I’d play the pregnancy card here, but there’s some serious shit going on today, so let’s fuckin’ do this,” Tara said, and she leaned down and grabbed hold of the Skysweeper.

“Everybody grab on,” I instructed.

The girls and I gripped onto the triangular pieces of metal that stuck out from the front of the gun, and on my count we lifted. I could hear the girls struggle, and I let out a few grunts myself as we tried to move the damn thing. It was heavier than I had even thought, and after a few seconds I called it.

“Holy shit,” Tara breathed.

“Right,” Anna panted. “What does this thing weigh? Like a million tons?”

“Around ten-thousand pounds, I’d say,” I told her. “So only about four or five tons, but it’s still a lot. Luckily, we have some leverage here so we aren’t having to lift all of that, but it’s still going to be heavy.”

“All we have to do is get the trailer hitch into position, right?” Bailey asked.
