The unit is appalled at the sight of absolute chaos with the
muzzle flash of gunfire erupting all around them. Jayce orders them to retrieve
the Colonel first. Using night vision, they catch a glimpse of two people that
seem to be feeding on a fallen soldier. Jayce yells up to the turret and asks
Pat if he can get a bead on the creatures, just as the machine gun rattles off.
Pat yells down questioning how he is supposed to discern from the soldiers and
the combatants. Jayce answers that they probably will not be able to until their
boots are on the ground and are engaged. Pat watches as one of the creatures
overtakes a soldier trying to flee. Jayce orders him back inside the Stryker
from the turret. Ben is startled as something jumps onto the side of the
vehicle and begins pounding on one of the side windows.
“What the hell is that?” Harris screams.
“Granger, is that what I think it is?” Ty asks.
Stunned, Jayce nods as he confirms that he thinks it is. Ty
climbs out of the top hatch. The passengers in the vehicle hear the report of Ty’s
pistol echo through the still open hatch.
It is evident that both the military and local, first
responders called in to assist were not prepared for what they have encountered.
The unit make their way through the building complex, not deviating from their
self-made mission of retrieving and securing the Colonel. They arrive at the command
center and stop in front of the main entrance. Jayce orders Harris to stay with
the Stryker while they go for the Stan.
