Recovering From Trauma Chapter 10

0200hrs, Vineyard Property:
“Mobile unit 12, can you check out sector 6?” Betty was on monitoring duty and the security monitor had stopped transmitting over in sector 6.

“Mobile unit 12 here. No problem.” Felica was out making her rounds.

So, far it’s been a quiet night and she was heading back to the security office. Felica turns the ATV she was riding around and heads back to the sensor that monitors the perimeter of the vineyard. As she gets closer, she notices the concealed sensor unit is sparking.

“Mobile unit 12 to command. The sensor here has been damaged.” Felica is cautious as she approaches it. It looked like someone used some sort of device to overload the power supply.

Felica looks around and doesn’t spot anything. She starts looking around the area and finds some footsteps heading deeper onto the property.

“Command, you better send the drones out. We have an intruder.” Felica checks her wrist computer and notices another sensor unit just went down.

“Sending out drones and additional personnel.” Betty alerts Felica.

Felica increases the brightness of her flashlight and shines it around the area. When she shines it to the right of her, she spots a person coming towards her dressed all in black. He had gone to strike her, but she parried his attack with her mag light.

The attacker attacks Felica again, but this time he tricks her and strikes her right leg. He tries striking her again, but Felica uses her mag light and slams it against the person’s arm. She notices her attacker is wearing light body armor.

“Great.” Felica was feeling her right leg going numb.

The unknown attacker attacks Felica again, but she parries the attack with her mag light. She was lucky that her mag light was the eight-D cell
version. She turns her mag light around and uses the front of the mag light to strike the attacker. She put a lot of force behind the attack.

The person stumbles backward from Felica striking them. He pulls his gun and goes to fire at her. His hand gets struck by the mag light and the gun is knocked out of his hand. He notices that the woman he is fighting is leaning heavily to her left.

The attacker goes to strike Felica again, but his arm is intersected by her. She trapped his arm by using her mag light. Before he could free his arm, his feet were swept out from under him.

Felica rides her attacker down towards the ground. She could feel that he was wearing some sort of body armor. She tries taking the person’s helmet off. She tries locating the latches locking the helmet on.

Thirty feet away, Wendy and a heavily built person were going at it. Wendy couldn’t believe how big the person was and how agile they were. Wendy dodges an attack and smacks the person with her mag light. She was carrying a smaller mag lite than Felica had, she knew how to use it. She would used her gun to take the person down, but Andy had informed everyone that the body armor these people were wearing caused the bullets to bounce off.

The huge figure goes to strike Wendy but misses. Wendy tries grabbing the person's huge arm but is tossed away like she is a ragged doll. She hits the ground and rolls out of the way, as the huge person tries stomping her. She kicks up and jumps up on top of the person. She wraps her legs around the person’s head and tries shocking the person with the stingers built into her wrist bracelets.

She notices the stingers do not affect the armored person. She screams out when the attacker grabs her left leg and squeezes. Even through her light body armor, she felt her leg bone break. She loosens her leg grip and smashes the mag light towards the helmet's eye-opening and flashes the brightest burst of light from her mag light.

The attacker screams out, as he lifts Wendy off and tosses her towards the ground. Wendy manages to roll and not land on her broken leg. Wendy looks at her attacker and just as he starts moving towards her, he gets slammed by a figure in a suit of armor. They came flying in and tackled the attacker.

Wendy looks at the person standing a few feet from her and notices it is one of Monia’s jet packs. But the person dressed in full body armor wasn’t anyone she knew or dealt with on the vineyard. The person fires a cannon-like object towards the attacker. A net erupts from the weapon and tackles the attacker. There is a blue flash of light as the person who attacked Wendy drops to the ground.

Wendy hears a second thruster sound near her and looks over where Felica is fighting. There is a big flash of blue light and nothing afterward.

“Thanks.” Wendy looks up from where she rolled to.” The armored figure turns around to look at Wendy.

“You’re welcome, Wendy.” Angela was smiling underneath her armor helmet.

“Is that you Angela?” Wendy knew she knew that voice.

“Yes, are you okay?” Angela kneels next to Wendy.

“I think my left leg is broken. That gorilla grabbed my left leg and squeezed it like it was nothing.” Wendy could feel the pain coming from her leg.

“Here, let's get you back to medical.” Angela helps Wendy up and helps her back over to the ATV she drove.

“Can’t go yet. How is the rest of the security forces doing?” Wendy wasn’t hearing anything over the security channel.

“I don’t know. All communications are down. I think one of the attackers hit our satellite dishes and communication towers.” Angela only had suit-to-suit communication.

“What’s the situation out their armor guards?” Angela tries communicating with the other armor guards.

“Backup generators have been hit. Sectors 5 and 8 have been breached. The main compound is secured, but the transport vans & busses are on fire. Fire crews are handling the fires.”

“Roger, I have the second in charge of security here with me. Putting you on loudspeaker.” Angela switches the communication over to the
loudspeaker.

“Wendy, are you there?”

“I’m here Joe. What’s the situation?” Wendy wanted to take a pain pill.

“Three security personnel are down. The rest have injuries. Whoever these assholes are, they were well protected and had some unique gifts.”

“What do you mean unique gifts?” Wendy was surprised by that statement.

“These weren’t normal people, is what I mean. The person who took our communication towers and satellite dishes out caused them to age like
they have been rusting away for years.”

“Is that possible?” Wendy looks towards Angela for an answer, because she had a cousin that had special abilities.

“It might be, I would have to ask my cousin. Now, let’s get you back to the main compound.” Angela mounts the ATV and drives back to the main compound.
