escape, he saw the marshal forcefully swing open the driver’s doors,
sending the attacker into a serving cart full of coffee carafes. When the man
rose, the marshal removed his pistol and shot the crazed person in the head. Jared
recoiled back into his seat at the sound and then he saw two people fling
themselves over the hood of the mangled Crown-Vic and savagely maul the marshal.
The large figure collapsed with an ughh sound to the pavement, dropping
the Glock next to the rear door. A pool of ruby-red blood swirled along the
pavement, mixing with the pitchers of fresh cappuccino from the tipped-over
cart on the sidewalk.
    Jared gasped and lowered himself below
the tinted windows as he heard the ghastly sound of crunching bone outside the
vehicle. He felt his heart racing like he had just stolen his first car, and glanced
down at the unusual sight of his trembling hands as a continual wave of
screaming from the unfortunate victims outside rang through his foggy brain.

Chapter 9
     
    “Did anyone else see that?” Carlie said
to her team. “A bunch of people sprinting in different directions a few streets
over by that pizza place back there.”
    “Looked like they were spooked by
something,” said the bald man in back. “I only caught a glimpse of them.” The
other agents began scanning the city around them. The street they were on bore
the familiar air of another hot day in the desert, with people holed up in the
A/C of shops and bookstores.
    Gerald’s adrenaline-soaked voice came
over their ear-mics. Carlie listened intently, glancing over at Phillip, who
had a frostbitten look on his face as he peered around the chaos unfolding on
the streets.
    “What do you mean we lost contact with
the PPD?” barked Carlie into the suburban’s encrypted telecom system as she
drove through a red light two blocks from the university.
    “The team leader indicated they were
headed to the top floor of the bioresearch building, followed by the sound of gunfire,
and then the mic went dead,” said Gerald, followed by a long pause. “Shit—there’s
a group of people that just attacked a couple of college kids over by the
bookstore. What the hell is happening?” he said in a gravelly voice.
    Carlie followed the front vehicle with a
fast right turn, speeding down Vine Street, which ran directly towards the
center of the university. As they swerved to avoid several dozen students
running across the street, Carlie glanced in her rearview mirror. About fifty
yards behind her vehicle, she saw an elderly man with a cane being assaulted by
a throng of disheveled people who were viciously biting him, like fire ants swarming
over an intruder.
    “Christ, did you see that?” she said to
her teammates in back, who were opening their suit coats to offer better access
to the two MP-7 automatic sub-machineguns. Phillip was still craning his head
to take in the carnage in the streets to the rear.
    As the vehicles closed the distance to
the main campus, people were streaming out of buildings and running between
cars in the two-lane street. They were screaming and sprinting in every
direction like water droplets flung on a hot grill. In pursuit were gray-faced humans
chasing them, jumping on some or dragging others down to the ground in a mad
frenzy.
    Gerald’s shaky voice came over the
telecom speaker again. “We are going in hot. I repeat, this will be a hot
extract. We are going right up Mabel Street to the research building where
Gemini is located, do you copy?”
    “Roger that,” she said, gripping the
steering wheel and trying to pace her breathing. Months of training in vehicle
evasion and high-speed maneuvering while under fire came to the forefront as
she focused her vision on the vehicle in front of her while intermittently
letting her peripheral vision extend out for any approaching threats. Tunnel
vision was critical at times in shooting and precision work, but she had been
trained to also account for the big picture around
