Page 8 of Poison
James nodded as he added, “So now, we have no idea how many there are or where they are.”
“So you are telling us these Four Horsemen could have their own zombie army, is that right?”Nikoli asked.
“That is one scenario, yes.”Bane nodded.
“If this is true, they won’t have to arm any foreigners to come here,” Pappy said as he looked a bit pale.“All they have to do is arm this zombie army they have and thousands will die at their hands and they won’t even blink an eye at the destruction they wreak.”
“And unless the people know how to stop these guys, they will just keep going,” Cane stated sadly as he shook his head.
Bastain growled and turned to Frank.“Get a hold of your Knights Of Valor and get them tracking down these bozos.”
“I’m on it,” Lionheart spoke up from along the table.
Frank nodded.“He has anall outprogram that will initiate a nationwide protocol.”
Pappy nodded.“I already have Trudy tapping into our nationwide reach-out to the Vet Network and we will see what they can find.”
“Make sure they don’t raise any issues and that they are discreet with their questions.”Bane shook his head.“We can’t let these monsters know we know about them, not yet.”
Pappy nodded.“These men are the best.They know what to look for and how to find shit out without letting anyone know what they are up to.The wars they fought over in the sandbox taught them this skill.It would mean life or death for them and their fellow soldiers.They love this country and aren’t going to let anyone take that away from them.”
Bane got a thoughtful look on his face and then he asked, “Can one of these men get inside this Mr.Black’s main office and maybe look for a report that might tell us where the poisoned grain is being housed?”
Pappy thought for a moment then shrugged.“I don’t know, but I can ask.Do you really think he would be bold enough to have something like that where he works?”
Bane shrugged.“I don’t know but it's worth a shot.These numbnuts don’t think they will even be found out or called out.They have this Horsemen legend thing going on in their heads.They might know that Mr.White was killed but they don’t know yet that we found their manifest and that we know all about their plans.We only have a short window here before they put their plans into action and we have to move quickly and quietly or risk a nationwide panic.”
“I agree,” Sergi spoke from the end of the short hall.He’d returned to find out more about what the plans would be.He walked further into the room and sat back down at the table.“May I suggest something here?”
Bane nodded.
“I have a team of Ghosts at my disposal and I suggest we let them find what you need.We can send some up to the offices and the home of the man you call Pallor of Death and down to Dallas to the offices and the home of Mr.Black.My men know how to get in, get what they need and get out again, without being seen or getting caught.”
Bane looked over at Bastian and then back to Sergi.“If you think your people can get in and out without being seen, go ahead.If they find the stuff we’re after, tell them to text a picture of it back to you, so we can print it out.”
Sergi nodded.“Da, this we can do.”
“If your men find the poison that’s going to go into the water you have them let us know.”Bastain growled.“We need to know just what these bastards are going to use and what it will do if someone drinks it.”
“Da, I will have them look for that.”Sergi nodded, then he paused before he asked, “You want them to track down these two men and maybe bring them back?”
Bane snorted.“Yeah, that would be great but you better warn them about the zombies.”
“We better think about what we’re going to do with all that poison,” James mentioned.“We can’t just blow up all those boats if the poison is onboard.That would start the poison being in the river and four of the boats are no longer where the rest of them are.We need to track down where those boats are and disable them.”
Pappy nodded.“If he wants to get the two men with his ghosts then my men can track the missing boats and take them out of commission.But you’re right, we need a place to store that poison.”He looked over at James, “How many boats did you say there were?”
“Maybe two dozen or so.”James shrugged.
“And you know they will have guards watching those boats if they have the poison on board already,” Cane assured them.
“Da, my men will take care of the guards,” Sergi agreed.“Maybe they can put all the poison on one boat and take that boat away from the harbor.”
“Can they set charges on the other boats and once they are far enough away blow the boats to hell and back?”Rainey asked.
“Da, they can do that.”Sergi nodded.
“Sounds good to me.”Rainey nodded back.“Too bad, we can’t make sure the zombies are on the boats they blow up too.That would put a wrinkle in their plans wouldn’t it?”
