Chapter 130
“Stand back,” Mist told them, her voice calm and collected.
Rain wasn’t sure what her friend had in mind, but she had to trust her. Along with Walt and Adam, Rain retreated away from the door, all three of them going back further into the stairwell they’d just exited.
Rain couldn’t quite see what Mist was doing, but a few moments after she commanded them to get out of the way, she came running at them, full speed. Walt grabbed her in his arms and pulled her away as a ball of fire came shooting across the opening from the door to where the four friends stood huddled on the stairs.
They weren’t quite far enough away to avoid the synge of the explosion. Their uniforms were somewhat fireproof, but not entirely. Rain lifted her arm to cover her face as the sound of a bomb going off shook the floor and sent piece

The struggle to get up the stairs was real. The women were so unbelievably weak, their legs shaking, it took forever for most of them to even lift their legs high enough to climb the stairs. The idea that they should all just pick up a girl and carry her up the stairs, coming back for a second entered Rain’s mind, but they couldn’t carry them all the way outside, so it seemed pointless to take them up the stairs when they’d still have to manage to get out of the building. At this rate, the Mothers would be able to bring troops from another town and get them there in time before these poor ladies made it up the stairs. As she was helping them up the stairs, the girl on Rain’s left was talking. Rain sort of wished she wouldn’t. Nothing she was saying was pleasant, and she truly needed to save her breath, but she was telling her what had transpired, and Rain had

“I’m okay!” Walt was shouting as Mist began to sputter, no coherent words coming out of her mouth as she watched the blood pouring out of his leg. “It’s not as bad as it looks,” Walt insisted.“Let me be the judge of that,” Rain insisted, pulling her healing wand out of the packet on her belt where she’d stashed it after she’d used it last time.“I’m fine, really,” Walt said. “We need to get these girls out of here before the Mothers come back.”“Walt! Let Rain use that wand on you!” Mist insisted.Walt was already pulling a piece of cloth from his own belt and winding it around his leg, tying it off like that was going to stop the blood loss. “It just nicked me th

Adam flew down the hallways as quickly as he could go, trying not to think about what might happen to Rain and Lightning while he was gone. He had to let the men out of the storage closet and get them outside. Getting them out of the closet would be easy. Getting them out of the building would be harder, especially if the Military Mothers had caught on already that tactics had been changed, and rather than trying to find the records room, at least part of the Quebecian forces were trying to circumvent it.Seeing the storage room up ahead, Adam sped up and then skidded to a stop in front of the door. He knew that the door was already unlocked, so all he had to do was throw the latch, which couldn’t be accessed from the inside.He knew that the men on the other side would have no idea who was opening the door, and they wouldn’t be able to hear h

The Military Mothers’ boots hit the ground almost in tandem, which told Rain what formation they were in. Even before she rounded the corner where she could see them, she had a vision of exactly where each of them was standing.She took a deep breath and flung herself out into the open where the women were coming at her as fast as they could run. Rain aimed and pulled her trigger four times, hitting all four of them before any of them could fire a first shot at her.The first two were hit squarely in the head, one of them in the forehead, the other in her nose. The second two were a little shorter than Rain had anticipated, and she grazed one of them in the helmet before she could adjust and shot the last one in the cheek. She went flying backward, screaming, blood spurting through her hands.The

Adam led the way around the outside of the building, the naked, exhausted men running behind him as quickly as they could. He was the only one with clothes; he was the only one with a weapon.Memories of the Mothers shooting down at them earlier from one of the apartment buildings made him leery to take them out in the open, but it was the only way they were going to be able to get to the camp. He didn’t see any Mothers in the buildings when he stuck his head out around the corner. Nor did he see anyone wearing his own colored uniform. An occasional popping sound made its way out from inside the building, but other than that there was only the chirping of birds in the trees in the distance and the buzz of insects.“All right! Keep your heads down. We’re going to that next building over there, got it?” Adam said, turning to face the

Incompetence was something Mother White wasn’t very good at tolerating. Presently, she was surrounded by it. Not only were the idiots in the control room driving her crazy with their inability to follow simple directions and point the cameras where they needed to go, every detail she’d sent out so far to stop Rain and her little group of meddlers had been blasted to bits. Really, how hard was it to stop four people? The fact that they’d broken Lightning out of prison, along with the rest of the women who’d somehow managed to survive since the Rebellion, and now 24C was running across the courtyard with a group of Dicks was enough to make her blood boil.Knowing how close Lightning was to infiltrating their system was enough to make her want to shoot the rest of the Mothers in the room in the head.But White was no tech guru. She needed t

“What the hell happened?” Adam shouted, leaving the men behind as he ran across the open ground to where Mist was sitting next to one of the dormitories. She was cradling Walt’s head in her arms, and the tears streaming down her face said more than any words could tell him.“We got the women back to camp, and he insisted he was fine.” Mist said, her breathing labored. “But then, we got back this far, and he collapsed. I tried to use the healing wand but….”Adam looked carefully at Walt’s pant leg. It was completely soaked in blood, dripping down inside of his boot. “Is he still breathing?” Adam asked.Mist nodded her head. “Barely. I don’t know what to do. I patched up the wound but--”&

Mother White knew the passages in this building frontward and backward. It was almost as if she’d been here her whole life, like she’d never left to go serve her country in all of those other towns. As she headed down the passages near the men’s cafeteria, stepping over bodies and around pools of blood, she instinctively knew that what she was looking for wasn’t far away.The girl was weak. She’d have to be after all of that time in a prison cell with very little food and water. It was a wonder any of them had survived honestly. They’d lost their usefulness months ago, when the Rebellion was over, and the only people who could give them the answers and the results they needed were the ones who’d actually escaped, not the idiots who’d failed and been left behind.And this girl was the ringleader of all of it.
