Operation Sea Mink (9 page)
“There’s an old cache of ammo and supplies stashed ahead, from Wild Tarpan. We should stock up and go for help.”
“Help?” Morland burst. “If we can’t go inside the compound, who the fuck is left?”
“I have an idea,” Miller said, kicking down the door of an old donut shop and pulling the tarp off a pile of ammunition boxes.
“Care to share?” du Trieux asked, bending down and stuffing the pockets of her combat vest with clips and magazines.
“We find the Archaeans.”
“The who?” Morland asked.
“The other Infected. I know somebody on the inside.”
Hsiung’s eyes were practically bugging out of her head. “We’re going to the Infected? Are you
insane?
”
Miller looked over at du Trieux. She looked pale, but resigned. She nodded and jammed two fresh magazines into her Gilboa.
Miller slung a fresh canteen over his shoulder and stuffed food pouches in his pockets. “Probably,” he said, ripping open a packet with his teeth and sucking down the processed vegetables in a single swallow.
