Bo POV
I gave Alex an apologetic glance and pulled Vi closer to me. The rest of the ride was bumpy and uncomfortable. I glanced down at my wife and saw her chest moving slowly up and down telling me she was sleeping.
All of a sudden Tim slammed on breaks causing everyone behind us to jerk to a stop.
"Owe! What the hell." Vi grumbled.
"Alex, grab the gun under the seat in the back."Tim said looking out the windshield.
"What's wrong babe?" Katie said squinting her eyes so she could see a little better.
"Wait here." Tim jumped out the truck and walked toward Chris' box truck and started talking to him. Then Eric and Mike jumped out the back and started walking to us.
"Bo, come with me." Tim said sticking his head in the window.
I jumped out of the truck giving Violet a peck on the head and walked after Tim.
"There is a group about a mile up the road, holding up signs. We need to sneak up on them and see what they want, but do it quietly."Tim said giving us combat knives.
I'm lucky I was in the military for two years. We went farther up the road and around a bend seeing about six people waving signs.
Eric, Mike, and Chris went to the woods on the left. While me, Tim and Alex went to the right. Tim's weapon of choice was a weird shaped stick with a jab point at the tip, he also had a pistol sword combo.
Alex brought out a knife the size of my forearm and a pistol with a silencer on it.
My weapon of choice was a combat knife and a hidden blade in my boot for surprise attacks.
We came up to the small group and I watched the two men carefully as Tim narrowed his eyes at them.
"What's up?" I asked in a whisper.
"They're Coast Guard," Alex replied quietly.
"We have to get behind that fence." Tim said pointing to the fence behind the group of people in the middle of the road.
We began walking through the woods as quietly as possible. Tim's radio crackled and we heard Mikes voice through it.
"This is Irish Man contacting Nightmare. We got a situation over here." Mike said.
"Go for Nightmare ," Tim replied.
"We got about thirty hostiles coming in hot on your three o' clock." Mike replied softly.
"Copy that," Tm replied moving quicker toward the fence. "ok, I'm going to take out the guard on the tower, you two stay and keep an eye out for that herd of walkers."
"copy," Alex replied nodding his head .
Tim rushed off toward the tower at the corner of the fence. I watched as he checked the corner and scaled the fence quickly. He then proceeded to climb the ladder to the top of the tower. A minute later we hear his voice over the com link.
"Tower is clear, repeat, tower is clear. Go for orders."
"Copy, Delta squad carrying out orders," Alex replied inching toward the tree line. "Let's go" he whispered behind him to me.
We edged our way to the edge, and Alex turned to me holding the talkie towards me. "I'll meet you guys at the vehicles, I have to do this."
He then proceeded to jump the fence quickly, practically clearing it, and landing on the other side. He rushed around the corner of the building on the other side of the fence and leaned against the door jam. He knocked on the door twice and the door opened revealing a man in Coast Guard gear. Ale quickly grabbed the man and choked him letting him drop to the ground quietly, then entered the building.
