[center][h3]Macy and Kyle head for their retreat with the girls[/h3]Day 3[/center][hr]

Kyle and the kids had already loaded into the [url=https://www.ozroamer.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Earthcruiser-4X4-RV-Motorhome-USA.jpg]Earth Cruiser[/url] a monsterous All-Terrain RV that usually sat by the workshop under a metal awning and draped in a special cover that Kyle said could even mask its infrared signature if needed. Macy stood beside the open passenger side door as the powerful multi fuel diesel engine clattered quietly warming up looking into Wendy’s eyes.

[b]”Wendy please come with us Kyle is almost always right and this time his friends are saying bugout there’s a plague or something big happening so we’re headed to the Appalachians. There’s plenty of room and we have stores abroad for 3 weeks and for a year at the site; you know we need you.”[/b] said Macy the fear in her eyes obvious.

[color=orangered]”Macy I know you want me and yes Kyle’s connections are good but I can’t leave I’d lose my job”[/color] answered Wendy biting her lips

That was the last thing she’d said to her friend before Kyle called his wife aboard and wished her luck saying if she changed her mind he thought her machine could make it close to the bugout site and she could hike in the rest of the way.

So she was now alone as she watched the odd reports that came across her monitor when she checked her and Macy’s Streams.

Some of the articles were easy to dismiss even though they had video because they’d been seen before and debunked but the newer ones were of a better quality and made Wendy question if she’d done the right thing. She could have gone with Macy and the Girls but her responsible nature had made her stay. She was sure it was all a big scare and that any day now it would be exposed as some hoax; at least that was what she hoped.

[hr][center][h3]Day 5[/h3][/center][hr]

It was just turning daylight and Wendy was dressing when the houses alarm system notified her that there was movement on the property so she flicked her room monitor on and it split into 5 separate pictures and in each one was a man dressed in black, the gate showing 3 in black business suits doing something to the entry key that caused the secondary alarm to sound an alert that the gate was being opened without a code.

Doing what Macy had taught her Wendy grabbed her clothes, gym bag and pad then ran into the Panic Room entrance in the girl’s room across the hall from her own. 

She felt silly running down the stairs hidden in the walls to the hidden space beneath the basement dressed in only her underwear he hair still wet but she did all the same and once inside she hit the big red button on the wall which sealed all the doors leading to the Airlock which she was cycling as the locks clicked down. Then she spun the wheel in the center of the armored door sending 8 heavy 10 inch bolts before retreating to the second door and doing the same.

As she dressed she checked the security cameras only to see that those Kyle and his brother had added secretly were operating all those installed by the alarm company not functioning. It was jarring to discover whoever these men were that they had known how to bypass every commercial alarm; Kyle’s words coming back to haunt her.

[B]”Wendy I know it seems crazy to be so worried that someone might mean us harm but my firm pisses off a lot of people in big industries and they have their own personal armies; Black Water, Black Swan, and others. If you and the girls are in here and the alarms are down it will mean the mushy brown goo is in the fan and you have maybe 2 hours to gather a bugout kit and head out.

You can’t go to family or friends if it's that bad you can only run and don’t look back.”[/B] he’d told her then showed her the bugout kits.

She was afraid but knew she had to keep her head as she dressed while watching the men forcing open doors made to withstand entry using what appeared to be those things called the jaws of life which firemen used to rescue trapped people. That alone sent her aderelin through the roof because it showed they knew more than they should and had connections that revealed the houses secrets.

She figured they would be coming into the panic room in less than an hour and her time limited before they had set up a perimeter. [color=orangered]”Dam why was Kyle right?”[/color] she growled as she flung open the Bugout storage slash escape hole

Soon she was walking quickly her head ducked in the corregated tunnel headed to the creek bed 200 meters away. When she reached the exit she pulled a cable gripping the handle that held it setting off small thermite charges to weld the escape door shut. Then she sat listening as she activated the pinhole cameras that showed her the woods outside of the escape door. Once she saw the coast was clear she opened the hatch and slowly moved out into the dry creek bed and followed it down to the Chattahoochee. 

As she moved towards her first goal Wendy reached into the bugout bag and pulled out a dark brown page cut wig and put it on making sure to tuck her blonde hair under it before brushing it out smooth. Next came black contacts and false piercings and goth black lipstick and costume fingernails that were long and blood red; all these things picked by Macy. Her last bits of bugout gear was a day pack that had 10,000 hidden in its linings and a wallet that had fake ID naming her Mary Kline and old battered bills amounting to another 267 dollars.

She now felt silly for having ever questioning her friend’s husband and her paranoia as she made the river and found a bag into which she put a large rock to sink the bug out bag in the muddy waters.

She then climbed onto one of the Running trails that ran along the river hidden beneath the trees her next goal to find her way to a Public storage locker in which was hidden a [url=https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/PR4xW/s3/best-dual-sport-motorcycles-get-dirty.jpg]multi terrain motorcycle[/url] near Six Flags.

[b]How the hell did I get here and why me?[/b] was her thought as she ran perhaps a bit faster than she should along the trail passing several other early morning joggers.

She was a fugitive and she didn’t know why she only knew that she had to run to stay ahead of whoever the hell was after her.

Wendy had finally arrived at the storage lockers after ducking several times from what seemed to be a lot of police activity and having to use a bit of her pocket money to grab something to eat at a Burger King. (She didn’t know her disguise had been penetrated by the stores cameras)

She punched in the gate key and then walked to locker a-247 and was just punching in the combination when a big black SUV turned down the drive between A and B lockers. She didn’t waste time and took off running. The SUV roared as its driver shoved the throttle to the floor chasing after her as the men inside cursed. 

Where she was headed Wendy had no idea she only knew that after all the effort staying ahead of whoever these guys were she wasn’t going down easy. So when she came to a 10 foot retaining wall at the end and given the choice of left or right she chose instead to go up and was stunned when she made it in a leap that would have made her the first woman to slam the nets in the WNBA. But then it went to hell because she wasn’t prepared to jump so high and missed her grip falling but and slaming onto her rear just in front of the SUV as it slammed on its brakes and all its doors opened spilling out 5 angry men.

She was hit from two directions by tasers that though they hurt like hell didn’t stop her as they were intended only angering her so that she spun to a stand breaking the wires that were attached to the barbs. Next came a dart of some type and she only knew she’d been struck because it was lodged in her left breast. Another surge of Adrenalin hit her and she charged blindly to the side which had only two men ducking low so as to hit them in the mid sections and their centers of balance knocking them on their asses as she tried to make good her escape even as whatever was in the dart made her head swim. She might have made it but for the fact another SUV screeched to a halt blocking her path and the men on that side firing more darts into her. 

The men gapped in surprise as Wendy swayed with three darts in her but then those behind her hit her again with their tasers that finished the job.

[hr][center][h3]Where the hell am I?[/h3][/center][hr]

When she woke Wendy was aware that she was in a strange bed clad in one of those hated hospital gowns and strapped by leather restraints to her bed.

Angry in mere seconds Wendy jerked on the straps causing the bed to shake and move a little. She kept up her efforts for what to her seemed like a few seconds then settled down as horrible cramps hit her telling her she’d been a sleep long enough to get really hungry.
