“ It led back to our vehicles. The women and children were already out of sight. Kevin looked at the other guy, then at me and shrugged. "He was a squid." "Ah." I joined the few men left in my team still unharmed. We provided cover for the others. By the time I reached the alley, I spotted Mike's team starting to bug out. Halfway down the alley, Charlie's team stopped firing. We were in full get the hell out of Dodge mode. By the time we reached ...the parking lot, some vehicles were pulling away. They were packed to the max with children. I nodded approval to see Kevin making sure the youngest escaped first. I joined Charlie, Mike, and a dozen other men. There were gang bangers on foot down that street. I saw two of their pickups get shot up and crash. Most of them seemed to have automatic weapons. First thing, I reminded everyone we had limited ammo. "Roger, we need to have a long talk about your ammo fetish," Mike said. I made sure someone was always shooting down the street. It didn't take much to keep your enemy's head down, especially if he wasn't a trained soldier. When the gang bangers tried to come at us from other streets and alleys, I spread my dwindling force to cover those avenues of approach. "Hurry it up, Kevin! They're starting to surround us!" He was loading women into cars and pickups as fast as he could. Some of the women drove, and sometimes he pulled one of my men away to drive. It didn't take too long to empty that parking lot. There were three vehicles left after all of the rescued women were gone, including our pickup. "You guys get out. We'll hold them here a little longer," I shouted. "Good luck!" "Good luck and God Bless," Kevin said. "Don't forget to look me up once all this zombie crap gets sorted out. I owe you a steak and an ass whooping." "Can't wait." Their remaining men rushed back to the two pickups, and tore out of there. It was the first time I truly felt like I made a difference since the shit hit the fan. "Ass whooping?" Mike asked. "I taunted him for being a Marine." "Oh, man, they never forget," he said, chuckling.MoreLessRead More Read Less
