Ty cuts down as many of the creatures that is possible. Ben and Jayce watch as cargo hatch slowly
lowers to the ground. The children
startled by the gunfire, begin to cry uncontrollably as the team prepares to
jump out and attempt to keep the creatures from making it into the plane. Once they feel Ben bring their safe zone to a
stop, the unit scrambles out. Tracy follows
close behind the men in her uniform skirt, and takes a knee. They begin firing immediately. Jayce yells back, ordering their passengers
to stay inside the safe confines of the Stryker. They watch as the advancing creatures
fall. Jayce yells out orders to the
flight crew to raise the ramp. Once
fully closed, Jayce opens the hatch to the Stryker to let their passengers
out. The crewmen quickly begin securing
the Stryker back down to the belly of the plane with chains.
Harris gets his wife and children situated in the jump seats
as Jayce yells, “LET’S GET THIS BIRD OFF THE GROUND!”
The engines on the plane start up and Harris enters the
cockpit. The co-pilot’s girlfriend,
Harris’s family and Anne all sit together.
Stan, Tracy, and the unit are sitting away from the “civilians” and talk
about what they had seen. Ty informs the
Colonel that from the turret he saw a lot of “those creatures” still fully
mobile.
“Colonel, where to?” Jayce asks.
“Brooks Range, Alaska. There is a base there. I’ll radio them to make sure it is still
active.” The Colonel answers.
Jayce walks up to the cockpit to tell Harris where they will
be heading. He then goes to the back to
tell everybody that it is going to be a long flight, so they should get some
sleep. Jayce watches as Patrick goes to
his wife and leans his head on her shoulder and closes his eyes. Jayce leans back in the jump seat, in between
Ty and Tracy.
“That was some good shooting Sergeant.” Jayce tells Tracy.
“Thank you, sir.” She replies as she straightens out her
skirt and dusts off her knees.
Jayce takes the ear bud out of Ty’s ear closest to him and
sticks it in his ear. He closes his
eyes. Tracy nudges him, and he opens his
eyes once again.
“Captain Granger, Sir, sorry to interrupt you.”
“Your good, but call me Jayce.”
“Is this the end?”
