“Kat, we got company and I mean big company.” Paul and Sam were facing off against an eighteen-wheeler coming directly at them and there was nowhere for them to dodge.

Kat looks in her rearview mirror and there was a trash truck approaching at high speeds towards her. The damn thing came out of nowhere and they were on a two-lane highway with ditches on either side that the road that the SUV’s and the Terradyne would get stuck in.

“Pauline, can you jump the Terradyne over the width of the ditches?” Kat wonders if Pauline could jump the Terradyne.

Pauline looks at the width of the drainage ditches on either side of the road. She figures if she can get enough room and speed she might be able to jump it and go through the cornfield.

“Give me some room, so I can build some speed up.”

“I’ll do what I can for you.” Kat lets off the gas and swings the SUV around to face the garbage truck going towards them.

Pauline glances towards Valentina and their passenger “you better buckle up.” She backs the Terradyne up to give herself some room to jump the ditch.

“Crystal, grab the grenade launcher and lob a few grenades at the truck.” Kat watches as the Terradyne backs up to her to get a running start.

Paul looks towards Sam “grab the grenade launcher and start shooting at the truck. Aim for their windshield.”

Sam pulls a grenade out and pulls the pin “can’t do it, Paul. Now, why don’t you surrender now before I drop this grenade.”

“Go ahead, drop the damn grenade.” Paul stumps on the gas and speeds directly towards the eighteen-wheeler.

Sam notices the SUV speeding up and heading towards the eighteen-wheeler. He knew it would be useless to shoot Paul. The full body armor he had on protected him. Sam jumps out of the truck, dropping the grenade in the truck.

“Shit!” Paul aims the SUV directly towards the eighteen-wheeler and drop a few of his grenades and pull the ejection seat.

Kat and he had the SUV’s equipped with ejection seats. They took them to a person they knew that specialized in customizing vehicles for
movies and such. Kat got the idea from watching the Fast and Furious. He also arms the explosive charge built into the wheel wells of the SUV.

He ejects from the SUV, just as it slams into the eighteen-wheeler and explodes. He rolls out of the way as debris falls all around him from the explosion. He looks over towards Sam on the other side of the road in the cornfield.

“Sorry, Sam.” Paul activates the fail safe in the body armor Sam was wearing.

Sam gets up and was starting to run away from the explosion when something sharp pokes him. The next thing he knows, he is seeing blackness.

“Thank god he was wearing the spare suit.” Paul stands up off the ground.

Pauline saw Paul’s SUV blowup, taking out the eighteen-wheeler in front of them. Kat gave her enough room to build up speed and jump the ditch. She holds the brake and floor the accelerator. The Terradyne bucks as Pauline builds up speed and once she had the speed she needs.
She releases the brakes and let the Terradyne speed towards where she was planning to jump. She manages to jump the Terradyne into the cornfield.

Valentina was scared as Pauline was building up speed. Then, when she accelerated and jumped the ditch.

“I think I just peed myself.” She felt some wetness in her panties.

Pauline just grins beneath her helmet. She spots Paul and pulls up to let him get in.

“What happened to Sam?” As she watches as Paul climbs into the Terradyne.

“He’s a traitor and is knocked out on the other side of the road.” Paul sits next to their prisoner.

Crystal opens the sunroof and fires the grenade launcher towards the garbage truck. She aims for the window, as one of the high explosives goes through the glass and explodes inside the truck.

“He’s taken care of.” Crystal sits back down inside the SUV.

Just as Crystal closes the sunroof. Something hits the side of the SUV, flipping it over onto its roof. They felt the vehicle rock from the explosion that flipped it. Kat spots four people on motorcycles heading towards her and Crystals way.

“Crystal are you alright?” Kat was unbuckling herself as the figures on the motorcycle get closer to them.

“I’m alright Kat. Thank god you bought this body armor.” Crystal grabs her P90 and gets out on the passenger side. That way they can use the SUV for protection.

Kat manages to get out. As she is crawling out of the SUV, she is hit by bullets from an Uzi. They impact against her body armor and are absorbed by the armor.

Crystal aims and hits one guy in the head with the P90. His dead body falls off the dirt bike he was on. Crystal hears an explosion as Kat tosses a grenade at another rider, knocking him off his dirt bike.

“Kat are you okay?” Paul’s voice comes over her helmet radio.

“I’m fine. Keep going, we’ll catch up to you.” Kat pulls her sidearm and fires at the other dirt bike, hitting the gas tank and causing it to explodes.

Crystal fires at the last dirt bike rider, after he fired at her. He hits her squarely on her chest plate. She felt the impact, but the armor absorbed most of it.

“Remind me to send a special thank you to Chaos armor.” She pulls the bullets from the armor.

“That’s why I went with them. Come on, let’s see if we can’t get these dirt bikes going.” Kat looks inside the damaged SUV and pulls what weapons they still had inside.

“Here, carry these till we meet up with Pauline.” Kat hands some of the weapons to Crystal to carry.

Crystal reloads the grenade launchers with the spare grenades.

“So, how did they find us again?” Crystal gets on the dirt bike.

She manages to get it started and follows Kat as she leads them towards the Terradyne. Crystal follows Kat as she jumps the ditch with the dirt bike she was on.

“How is everyone else right now, Kat?” Crystal sends over their private radio channel.

“Sam betrayed us and is currently knocked out and secure in the Terradyne. However, I don’t think its just him that is giving our location away.”
Kat figures that Sebastião must have a tracker inside his body somewhere and that is how they are tracking their movement.

After an hour, Kat and Crystal meet up with the Terradyne. The Terradyne had pulled over at an abandon gas station. It didn’t look like anyone had used it for ages.

Kat parks the dirt bike she was on near the Terradyne. She notices Sam has been stripped of the body armor they lent him. Pauline was inspecting the Terradyne for damage and Valentina was walking funny.

“Why are you walking funny?” Crystal transmits over the helmet radio’s

“I peed myself when Pauline jumped the Terradyne.” Valentina felt embarrassed admitting she had an accident.

“Go and change your underwear.” Kat had listened in on the conversion between Crystal and Valentina.

Valentina grabs her backpack out of the Terradyne and bust open the lady’s bathroom door. She heads inside to clean herself and change her
underwear.

“Sebastião has a tracker somewhere in his body.” Kat had pulled a device off the rider she took down and scans Sebastião’s body.

She finds the tracker in his left armpit. She pulls her knife out “Paul, holds his arm please.”

“With pleasure.” Paul grabs Sebastião’s left arm and holds it.

“You can’t do this.” Sebastião tries to move his arm, but it wasn’t going anywhere.

“Oh, I can do whatever I want too. You are endangering our lives.” Kat cuts into his armpit where the tracker is and pulls the grain of rice shape object out from his body.

Kat uses some superglue to close the wound up, after cleaning the cut. As for the tracker. She stomps on it and grinds it into pieces. After Kat takes care of that matters, she makes a phone call to US Marshal Bullock.

Bullock was heading towards what remained of the courthouse when his cell phone rings. He checks the ID on it and notices it was K&P Services. He answers the call.

“Hey Kat, how are things going?”

“Terrible. I’ve lost both my SUV’s and found out we had a traitor among us. On top of that, Sebastião had a tracking chip inside his left armpit.”
Kat was fuming beneath her helmet.

“Are any members of your team hurt?” Bullock thought they sweep Sebastião for bugs.

“No. Our body armor took most of the damage that has been done to us.” Kat watches the road to make sure no one was coming for them.

“Can you complete your objective and get Sebastião to Colorado?” Bullock didn’t have another option, except to fly him there.

“I’ll get him there, he might not be in the best of health, but I’ll get him there. Could you call the local police and tell them about the damage vehicles we left behind on 41, please?” Kat knew her insurance rates were going to go up after this job.

“I’ll handle the local police and replace your SUV’s from the ones we seized from drug dealers.” That was the good thing about being a US Marshal. They had a bunch of seized assets they could sell or use for jobs.

“Thanks.”

“No problem, Kat. Just get Sebastião to Colorado and stay safe.” Bullock was concerned for Kat but hope she and her team don’t get hurt like before.

“Bye Bullock.” Kat ends the call.

She walks over towards Paul and looks at the unconscious form of Sam. She knew her husband was kicking himself for trusting Sam. She was surprised he could lie to her. She had a talent for sniffing out lies.

Paul walks over and stands next to her. Kat looks at him through the helmet optics “what do you want to do with him?”

“If I had my choice, I would shoot him right now, but I can’t. So, he can keep Sebastião company.” Paul secures him next to Sebastião.

“Let’s load up and move out.” Kat goes to check on Valentina, who happened to be stepping out of the bathroom.

“Is everything okay?” Kat couldn’t see Valentina’s face, because of the helmet.

“Everything is fine. I just got scared is all.” Valentina felt better now that she had dry panties on.

“Good, because we are moving out.”

“Okay.” Valentina follows Kat to the Terradyne.

Kat takes the passenger seat, while everyone else loads in the back of the Terradyne.
