Chapter 6
Offensive Position
The foremost question on my mind was where would we go? There was only one answer, The mountains. We all had abilities that would allow us to survive as a group. Singly, maybe except for me, and possibly Bill, individuals could not survive.
As we all got our most precious things, I was trying to get the plan together. Bill was working on the database and others were directing the rest of the group to gather things up.
We had to find a cave. As an amazon, the cave seemed more defensible and comfortable. This is where the Kat would prove himself useful other than killing attackers. Plus, me and the amazon didn't know how far out Kat could operate away from me. Kat would go up in the mountains and find us a place to live. We would have to have everything portable so we could go quickly. Then, after the government could give us safety, then we could come back. Who knows, this might be one hell of a test. They were always testing capabilities. This might be such a test.
I finally had time to myself to sit and think. It was the first time I had been alone to clear my mind. Everyone else was occupied getting ready. I could hear the thoughts of everyone in the group working. As long as they were not calling or thinking about me, I was happy.
Things were happening way too fast. I was taken from the day of the lightening hit to now in over six months. In that time, I was taught how to dress and act like a woman. I was truly two people with one mind. There had to be some kind of logic to all of this. Aliens and science "reality" instead of fiction, Who could keep up? Now, I was the leader of a group of paranormal's who needed a keeper. I was the strongest in the group. So I was the leader. Bill was the second in command as the second most powerful. We had our hands full.
I walked outside. Kat appeared. I told him what I needed and sent him out to look. He knew what we needed. He would be a ghost. Totally invisible. He would send me mental pictures of the surroundings and send them back to me.
It was incredible how fast he was when on a mission. He had found something within thirty minuets of going out.
There was another secret base thirty minutes from where we were. It was one of those SAC missile bases. It had everything we needed. It was a shelter and silo all in one. I instructed Kat to only look and not bother any of the nice military men there. We would have our hands full getting in, but we could do it.
The place was completely out of sight. You had to know where to go to find it. It was not obvious what the little shack was. (The military liked little broken-down shacks as covers.)
We all loaded up and left. We looked pitiful. A ragtag group of men and women who could overthrow the world. That was the part that would not be lost on the military. We would take over the silo base and let the men there think that we were ghosts. Completely invisible. That was the Plan.
I instructed a group of the stronger telepaths to give the surrounding watchers the mental illusion that NOTHING was happening. We had practiced this a few times before, but never with lives hanging in the balance. I had to take care of the non-biological eyes that watched our exit. Ground sweeping radar, motion detectors and infra-red sensors completely ringed our exit. I almost missed the dogs! The others were to work on other Humans, but nobody had thought they'd bring dogs! They we're missing any trick! Neither were we.
Slowly, silently we took everything we needed, piled into a couple of heavy trucks and a personal bus, we rolled out before the gathered forces of the Untied Sates Army, a force, until our existence, that was the most powerful in the world.
Only after we were safely "bedded down" in our new home would I start to relax.
It was the same thing when we pulled in front of the ramshackle building that housed the foot entrance to the missile silo, Uncle Sam did not just leave it's nuclear missile security to human eyes. It was even more impressive then the sensor array that the Army surrounded our former home with. We were all covered with sweat with the mental strain before we neutralized them all.
I walked into the little shack and tripped the mechanism which opened a trap door. A stairwell appeared and then an iron door. There was a code key. I read the mind of one of the men and found the code. I tripped the code and then waited. There was a booby trap. I knew about it and disabled it.
The men here were a four man team on twelve hour shifts. They had just taken duty for three months. This was an incredible break. For three months, we would be completely out of sight.
Bill and I focused on the four men and convinced them that we were just not important enough to notice and to ignore us completely. They did. We unloaded the bus and tapped into the communications grid. It was amazingly simple when you could read all the codes and protocols from the minds of the operators. We had Internet access and phone access. This was a ghost site in the mountains and was not supposed to exist. It had sixteen nuclear weapons and sixteen nerve gas chemical weapons with no targeting in place. This was a real find, the US had signed a nerve gas treaty, and claimed they had destroyed their entire inventory of the gas. Simply the public knowledge of these weapons would upset the other world governments! They were capable of launching with targets loaded on the fly. What a place to occupy.
The bunks were miserable, compared to the last quarters we had. But it was a place to live. Hopefully, a place where our enemies couldn't find us. The group quickly found the shelter and command center. I was to get the private bed and bath room, I think that they are still afraid of Kat. Then Bill was to get the smaller of these rooms. There were several other just like them and we gave them to the women and the sick. We set up a clinic room where we could care for the sick.
Turns out that Mary was a medical doctor, so we had a doctor. The trick was to convince Mary to play by the rules we set. I had to convince her that if we were discovered before we were ready, she was just as dead as the rest of us. She agreed with me. So, we had medical help.
Mary also saw the necessity of the situation. But keeping her away from the military men was going to be a problem. It would take one of us with her all the time.
Yes, Mary was still with us. It was obvious that she wanted to live. It was her only option to go with us as she had knowledge of our abilities. If the opposing force needed intelligence, then Mary would be in the hot seat. That was not lost on her.
We were very kind to her. We needed to be. She was not innocent, but she was friendly.
We were now in an offensive position. We had sixteen biological weapons and sixteen nukes. We had control. The men there continued on their daily routine not knowing we were even there. There were cameras all over the place. But, those were no problem either. We found the tape equipment and took it off line. Then, we put our own recorded images of a shift there and left it in play mode.
There would be a time where we would announce our presence to the military. But not now. We needed to talk and make plans. We needed time.
God and the aliens only knew what would happen next........
