So the Piper Cub takes off with the nerve agent, one the SF guys takes off after it in a bigger, faster plane. Meantime command is struggling to get the phone going. They have no communications.

The guy who is working on the phone says it will take 2 weeks to get them going (huh?) The gal in charge says he has 2 days which is later amended to 30 minutes. Get it? There is some urgency because this plane is headed into the city (their city of course) with this deadly stuff. (swearing below the break)

“What’s he think he’s going to do?” the soldier asked regarding the SF guy in the plane chasing the plane. “Why don’t they just call the Air Force?” he asked.

“Don’t know.”

The guy from the unit in the “bigger plane” struggles to find the Cub. He’s talking to command about the difficulty he’s having and then he says, “Wait! Wait a minute! I see a speck!”

The soldier roars. “A speck? That’s a fuckin’ plane not a speck. Did you see that, P?” he asked glancing back because I was sitting behind him.

“I did. I saw a plane.”

“Yeah, dumbass that’s a plane. It’s not a speck, it’s a plane. It’s bright yellow fuckin’ plane no less, you know. Llike the one you’re looking for? It’s yellow like BUMBLEBEE yellow,” he said with a snort. Next thing we find out – the plane is being driven by a dead guy.

Meantime Jonas goes into the infected airplane hangar. They know it’s infected because there are some dead bunnies there. This time I asked the questions.

“Would he be going in there?”

“Hell no he wouldn’t be going in there. Call the…” he muttered some initials which I knew meant people who decontaminate.
“Ever base has one… people who do that kind of thing, never mind look what he has on. That is Mach II suit and he’d need Mach IV for that.” He laughed. “Now those are Mach IV gloves and Mach II suie – What sense does that make?”

Inside the hangar, Jonas makes a call on his cell phone.

“Oh for Godsakes,” the soldier said. “He’s supposed to be able to use and dial a cell phone with those big ass gloves? You can’t do that! And how can they hear him talking with that thing on his head? It would sound like this,” he said garbling his voice. “MMmeugh hiuiosnd. KOUFfRDddR JUUII!!”

I roared. Next thing you know, Jonas is using a laptop he found inside the hangar. He hits the buttons using two long screwdrivers to punch the keys.

“He needs screwdrivers to type wearing those gloves but he can use a cell phone? P, I just don’t know. I guess civilians like this though, do they?”

“Yes. Yes, they do. I like watching this show, I’ve yet to miss an episode but it’s much better watching it with you.”

“Ah, P…”
