Leaving Du Page -- Part II
As the clock struck four, Susan started the engine of her SUV and followed the truck in front of us. All the people were either loaded in the trucks or in cars from the parking lot. Jasmine sat beside me panting with excitement. We had two hours to get to Evac-Station Six. Jules was in the lead truck and Scott was in the trailing car.
Shelly was in over flight watching and scanning ahead for any trouble. As we bounced down the road, if you could call it a road, I wondered and worried about my husband, John. He and three others were on their way to shut down the barrier shield which had kept the shockwaves from doing any damage to the outlying areas.
Shelly was keeping tabs on them via her satellite uplink. She had reported that fifty men had shown up at the shield generator to stop John. I was worried, as were Susan and Michelle, they were dear friends and have kept my John healthy and in shape for the past four years.
Yes they were in love with him as I am, but they also both had husbands of their own. Mark, Susan's husband, had come a long way since he first found out about John and his wife. He knew who John was and how much his wife loved him. Both he and I have had long talks about the two of them. And after talking with him I found my jealousy fading. John was who he was and had promised that we would always be together. He has yet to break a promise he has made to anyone.
It was slow going as we bounced down the road. There was all manner of debris that had been blown across the road by the shockwave of the explosions. The big army trucks were having little problem negotiating the debris strewn road, but Susan's SUV was having a rough time as were the standard cars in the convoy.
Scott called a halt after about twenty minutes of bouncing around in the trailing car. He made everyone in the cars move into a truck or one of the few SUV's in the convoy. This took about twenty minutes before we were ready to move again. Michelle had moved into the SUV with us as her car couldn't make the journey.
We were about half way there when my phone rang.
"Hello."
"Jenny, this is Sally, are you all right?"
"Yes, is John hurt?"
"No, he's fine, just a little confrontation with some jerks, nothing to worry about."
"Okay, thanks." And she was gone. I sat looking at my phone when it rang again.
"Hello."
"Jenny, John wants to talk to you." It was Shelly this time.
"Hello.
"Hi Jen, I have someone with me who seems to think his colleagues have you in custody. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine and with Susan and Michelle on our way to the Evac-Station."
"Sally?"
"She's telling the truth. There is no stress in her voice what so ever."
"Shelly?"
"Yes boss?"
"Is everything all right?"
"Yes."
"Code, 456-Alpha."
"Code, 987-Gamma."
And he was gone. I was still looking at my phone when it rang for the third time.
"Hello."
"Jenny, Shelley, John is on his way to meet us at the Evac-Station."
"Thank God. Thank you Shelley."
"You're quite welcome." And she was gone.
"Is everything all right?" asked Michelle.
"Yes, everything is fine. I think." I was still wondering if it really was when we topped a rise and saw a road block had been thrown up before us.
Jules didn't even slow down as the road block was pushed aside by an invisible force. That invisible force remained in front of Jules truck clearing the way for the rest of us. The column of trucks and SUV's picked up speed as the debris was pushed to the side of the road.
The Army troops at the road block opened fire on us. Susan, Michelle and I ducked as the bullets hit the energy field that had been placed around us by Shelley. In doing so Susan almost ran us into the ditch at the side of the road.
"That was different," Susan said angrily, yanking on the wheel causing the truck to lurch back onto the road.
"Assholes," I said, as I flipped the bird to the shitheads firing at us.
As we approached the Evac-Station we could see more soldiers blocking the way. They were gently swept aside as we drove past them. This time they just stood there looking at us as we past. The officers were yelling at the enlisted men but the enlisted men were ignoring them.
I smiled and waved at them as we passed. They smiled back as they stood there. Their officers were still yelling. As we drove past one group an officer had his sidearm out and was preparing to shoot one of his own men when suddenly a bolt of lightening shot out of the sky and tuned his body to dust.
We continued lurching along as the debris was swept aside. We were in sight of the Evac-Station when an army Humvee joined our caravan. It was John and the others. Rudy and Sunny, heads sticking out the windows, their tongues lolling in the wind, seemed to be enjoying the ride. John and the other men were laughing as they joined the convoy.
When we were within five hundred meters of the barrier, John called a halt to our movement. The big army trucks formed a circle around the smaller SUV's with John's Humvee in the middle. When Susan's truck stopped I jumped out and went running to John as he stepped down from the Humvee.
Michelle and Susan were close behind me as I jumped into my husband's arms hugging him fiercely. Susan and Michelle were hugging Doctor LaGrazia as they waited their turn to hug John. Rudy and Sunny were trying to get my attention to tell me how happy they were to see me after such a long absence.
"The barrier will be down in about two hours. Until then we should rest. Shelley has a class one shield over us," John shouted to everyone. "How's my girl," he said looking down at me smiling.
"Fine, now," I replied as I hugged him to me tightly. I stepped away from him and allowed Michelle and Susan to give him a hug. They turned to me and mouthed 'Thanks'.
