Cascade (Book 3): Mutant
Page 18
Feeling along the wall, his fingers found another door, and he pressed his head up against it. No noise came from the other side, so he gently pulled it open. As soon as she did the sound of voices flooded into his senses and he quickly closed it. Waiting a few seconds, he opened it again, and this time the voices were further away. So he slipped through the gap and into a vehicle area, which must have been used to fix up delivery trucks before the Cascade. Ahead of him were a number of military vehicles, including trucks, and another which he had not seen before. It was similar to those around it, except for the back was a complete cab, with a multitude of antenna and dishes covering it, one of which stretched twenty feet up into the air. It was also the only vehicle that had any activity, with its rear door being open and light streaming out from the space inside.
He ran to the back of the nearest supply truck, and hunched down, looking below it. A soldier walked from the communications truck and walked off to the back of the area. This was his chance. He ran as silently as he could to the back of the truck from where the soldier had just left, and peered around its open door. Empty. The brightness from the lights inside the cab made him blink a few times, but he was soon walking up small metal steps, and sitting down in front of an impressive array of high tech radio equipment, most of which he had no idea how to use. He did recognize the mike though, which he grabbed, clicking it on.
“This is Dr. Raj Joshi. Calling Camp Bravo, are you there? Over.”
Only static came from the speakers.
Raj, went to talk again, when the sound of voices could be heard outside.
“This is Raj Joshi, Bravo camp are you there!”
The voices grew louder.
“Yes, Dr. we are here, is everything ok?”
Raj went to reply, when he felt the pressure of someone watching him. Turning, a soldier was pointing their rifle directly at his head.
That was a day ago, and now here he was tied to a chair, trying to figure out a way to escape.
