“Slow down,” Edward yelled over the
noise of the quad. The driver was zigzagging all over the place and Edward was
worried about Rita. If the driver heard his protesting, he had no idea.
Just then a rocket flashed past
them, followed by an explosion overhead. Edward looked over his shoulder to see
a drone crash to the ground, but that’s all he had time to see before the quad
drove down a ramp that led under the museum.
As soon as they reached the
underground tunnel, the metal doors were slammed shut. Lilith, Bradley, Jones,
Scouter, the entire caravan had made it to safety.
The driver climbed off the quad and
pulled off her helmet. Edward was amazed; the woman had to
be in her 70’s. “We need a medic,” the woman shouted when she realized that
Rita was in trouble.
While the medics rushed Rita away,
Edward thanked the woman and asked for her name. She shook his hand and said, “I’m Ruth,
the Commander of this post, and who the hell are you?”
“After today, I’m not sure,” Edward
replied with a chuckle. He immediately took a liking to the little old lady who
had a very tight grip on his hand.
