“They killed a bunch of kids.They fucking blew up that school knowing it didn’t have anyone in it other than kids and teachers.You know why?Because that fucker is sick!”
“He’s not making sense,” said Hiro.“Let’s get him to the runway.”
“I’ll be dead before I can get home.They made sure of it,” he smirked.“It’s why I didn’t call anyone.I’ll be dead anyway.Will you tell my parents, grandma and grandpa, that I love them?”
“No, I will fucking not!” yelled Wyatt.“Get up!”
Logan was like his father and grandfather.He was big.Viking big.Tall, broad, heavy, blonde, and big.But so was Wyatt and so were the other men. Gripping his arms they lifted him from the chair and shuffled toward the door.
“Hey, is he okay?” asked the bartender.
“No, he’s sick.Did someone come in with him?” asked Hiro.
“Not in with him but someone dropped him at the door and left him.I thought he had someone coming to take him home or something.”
“Fucking idiots,” frowned AJ.“Base what’s the ETA?”
“Five minutes.Evie was in Baltimore.Get him to the runway.Doc is with her.”
“Good news, Logan.Looks like your fucking luck just kicked in.You’re gonna live, brother,” said Wyatt.
The entire drive to the private runway, Wyatt was relaying the stats for Logan.Although they wouldn’t know exactly what happened or what caused the poisoning, Doc knew he could keep him alive until he got to the pond.
Safely on the plane, the door closed before they could even wave goodbye, the four men stared at one another, wondering what the fuck happened to Logan Anders.
“I’m worried about him,” said Wyatt.
“I am, too,” said AJ, “but we have to worry about our issues.Doc and the others will take care of him.What would be the ultimate goal of these hackers?The credit cards seem easy.Steal as much as you can.But the hacking in through the backdoor to get to a business is new.”
“Not government business,” said Wyatt.“It’s going to be interesting to see the gaming being used at the DOD in their training programs.If someone is getting in through that backdoor, they’re in big trouble.”
“I guess we’ll find out tomorrow,” said Tanner.“I’m still hungry.Anyone want to whip into that burger joint up there?”
“I’m in,” said Wyatt.The others nodded as he pulled into the parking lot.For nearly ten on a weeknight, it was packed, which meant it was probably pretty damn good.They were on the outskirts of Georgetown, which meant lots of high school and college kids with money and privilege.
They knew that by looking at the parking lot as well.BMWs, Mercedes, Jaguars, even a Maserati.These kids had money.
The smell of meat over an open flame hit their nostrils the moment they walked inside.The patrons seemed to be a mix of college aged kids, most likely from Georgetown and other colleges, and locals in their Gucci loafers and Thomas Pink button-downs.
“Strange clientele,” smirked AJ.
“How can I help you, gentlemen?” asked the young girl.
“What do you recommend?” asked Tanner.
“Our burger is what we’re known for.I like mine with bacon and avocado and our homemade pepperjack cheese.It’s delicious.And you have to get the fries.We season them with a Cajun seasoning mix.”
“Sold,” said the men in unison.
“Give us four with fries and four sodas,” said Hiro.
“No problem.”
She handed them their receipt and a placard with a number on it.Fifteen minutes later they were moaning in pleasure, biting into the juicy burgers.Wyatt ate his, ordered a second and was done with it before the others were done with their first one.
“Damn, that was good,” smiled Hiro.“Now, I can sleep.”
“Before you boys lay your heads down, just know that you saved Logan’s life.Riley and Suzette said five minutes later and he wouldn’t have made it back here in time.We dropped him in the pond from the Osprey.Literally stripped him in the chopper and dropped him from twenty feet in the air,”said Luke.
