“All males will surrender to the Draft! If you resist or run, you will be shot!”
The faint bullhorn woke those who’d been dozing in the uncomfortable seats of the drafty Greyhound bus and a ripple of unease went through the armed man sitting against the frosty window.
People were standing to look, muttering among themselves, but the well-trained assassin remained still, listening, waiting to see how he should react.
“Hey!”
“He hit an old guy with his gun! They can’t do that! “
“They just shot a woman! Murder! Call 911! “
“Everybody out! Make room!”
The sniper used his career voice to be heard over the din and the others stuffed into the cold bus shifted toward the doors at the clear order, but they were panicked, shoving and yelling, and the man hefted himself up onto a vinyl seat and dove for the open window, wishing he had worn his vest as more gunshots and screams exploded from the stuck traffic behind them.
People were pouring from their cars now; running for the nearby homes and businesses of Wytheville, and the Hummers of heavily armed soldiers followed, firing without mercy at the citizens who refused to turn themselves over.
Back-dropped by thick, black smoke and an angry, red sky, the soldiers remorselessly hit fleeing males and anyone else who happened to get too close to their intended targets, only a few bothering with the bullhorns or their aim.
The tall, dark man rolled through the slush as he hit the snowy ground, moving under the bus, and he stayed there as the chaos got closer, arms and ankles locked tight around the greyhound’s icy frame.
The War had cancelled his leave but he had to get home and he was going, a decision these draft soldiers would shoot him for. Gun in hand, the AWOL sniper stayed still as the trucks rolled by and the citizens he was sworn to protect were gunned down.
A second later, the air shifted, thickened, and Marc instinctively shut his eyes and buried his head against his arm as the sky lit up and the sun fell on them.
