that was connected to the network back at the Greyhound Station.
“What happened?” John asked.
“Looks like the other three didn’t make it to the gate.” Simon said.
“So they gave up and abandoned the mission or…” Jason, Giselle’s brother said with a heavy voice.
“Giselle came back with some kids and went back out. They lost communication with her hours ago. I’m sorry man.” Simon said patting his friend’s back.
“They don’t know if she’s dead though. She could be okay. She’s tough and smart. I’m sure she’s okay. Can we…”
John interrupted. “Of course we are going to look for her.” looking for Simon’s approval.
“After we drop off these trucks, we can look for her, sure.” Simon said.
“We don’t even know a safe route to the gates to the Central District. The spotters can see but so much of the road from there. You have to be on the ground level to map out a secure path. The mission is a failure. We need to see if we can find Giselle, like now.” Jason said looking into Simon’s eyes for a reaction. He provided none.
“The mission is still green. These supplies will keep people alive. On our way back with the trucks, we’ll have to move in a direct line to the gates. We don’t have time for detours. I’m sure we’ll find her on the way. We all made the same sacrifice. The sooner we drop off these trucks then the sooner we’ll find out where she’s hiding.” Simon said to Jason with professionalism and presence. He was a foot taller than Jason and eight inches taller than John. When Simon spoke, people listened, despite the situation.
“Okay, let’s do it.” Jason said and John agreed. The three secured the items within the trailers and locked the back sliding doors. The trucks came to life and they began their push towards the northern wall being guided through radio contact with both teams on the northern and southern highway bridges. The three trucks all connected to the same CB channel and started moving.
“We have to travel in line with each other. These streets are too narrow or have too much debris on them to traverse side by side. I have communication with the northern and southern teams. Stay close and we should get to the Central District Gate in no time.” Simon said encouraging the other two over the CB radio.
“And look for Giselle.” Jason added.
“And look for Giselle.” Simon said.
The roar of the engines alerted many Azrael and in no time they had multiple herds on their asses. They combined into a super-herd and quickly caught up with the trucks. Any Azrael in front of them were driven through. A few managed to grab on to the sides of the trucks and worked their way towards the cab of the vehicles. Jason rigged electric shocking devices on the doors of each truck just for this situation. As the Azrael got closer the trigger was activated and a powerful jolt of electricity popped them off of the vehicles. All was in order until they reached a sharp bend in the road. This sharp turn caused the trucks to slow down a bit and Jason clipped the side of a truck deactivating the shock device on his passenger door. Five minutes after that sharp turn, Jason had a visitor trying to climb into the cab with him. He responded quickly and popped off a headshot before it was able to lunge at him. It lost its grip on the door, fell off striking the next one trying to get inside and knocked it off the truck.
“I got a problem Simon.” Jason said over the CB.
“What’s wrong Jason?” Simon asked.
“The electric device on my passenger door isn’t working anymore. Not sure how much longer I can keep the Azrael from getting to me in here.” Jason said and had to drop the microphone and shoot three more that were climbing in, one after the other.
“Fuck! Jason are you ok?” John asked and frantically looked in his side mirrors to
