Summer
“I can’t believe we’re back here,” I mutter, my eyes tracing the familiar
mountains surrounding us. Now that I’m outside, free for the first
time in days, our captivity feels like a fast-fading dream.
I know right where we are. Even though I’ve only been on this side of the
military base once before, I recognize the housing. Each of the mediumsized homes has a classic multi-level floor plan, set up at this secret military
location for the upper brass.
“Feels like walking back into a lion’s den, doesn’t it?”
The voice behind me belongs to Jamie, a woman I shared a cell with, and
her tone is edged with the same disbelief that’s crawling under my skin.
“More like slinking back to the scene of a crime,” I reply, keeping my gaze
still locked on the scenery.
I can almost envision the ghost of myself being dragged out of the medical
center after those shots, kicking and screaming, before everything went
black when they gassed us.
“Except this time, we’re not the victims,” Jamie points out, nudging me
with her elbow.
I know she’s trying to lighten the mood, but I didn’t even feel this freaked
out while we were locked up together. Shayla, the other woman who was in
the cell with us, is just walking out the back door of the base home along
with a few others.
“Right. We’re the survivors.”
I can hear my mother saying the same thing to me years ago.
Survivors. Exactly.
“Survivors with a side of paranoia,” I add, forcing a smirk as I shove my
hands into the pockets of my fatigues. “I swear, it feels fucking awesome to
be outside.”
The sky is a picture-perfect blue without a cloud in sight, and after three
days or so of being locked up, it’s heaven. Everything looks so… colorful.
“They’re sending a bus for us.” Shayla waves from a few feet away. “We’re
supposed to wait at the end of the driveway.”
“Okay.” Jamie takes a few steps toward Shayla before turning back to me.
“Coming?”
“Right behind you,” I say, though my feet feel heavy, rooted to the spot.
I think my body knows. It’s not just my surroundings that are unchanged—
it’s the dread. Fear coils in my stomach like some dormant beast, waiting to
spring.
Fuck. I hate feeling like this.
I watch the other survivors. Some are hugging, reunited with the people that
were in cells further away. We couldn’t see who was there since it was so
dim and they kept empty cells between us.
Are we really just going to go back onto the base like we weren’t grabbed
out of a medical examination and hauled off somewhere and locked up?
Someone has some serious explaining to do.
I spin in a slow circle, trying to get my bearings. This house backs up into
the forest, and it’s Yosemite National Park. That’s about all I know as far as
the precise location. After all, it’s a “top secret” military location.
The perfect place to conduct top-secret experiments.
