.Behind them the gunny lit off another flare and tossed it in their direction then another in the path they wanted to go.They found the body covered in a mass of writhing insects of all sizes.Phyllis covered her mouth, fighting to keep her gorge down.She turned away, fighting the tears pricking at her eyes.She snarled softly, ready to fire into the feeding mass but the chief pushed her weapon down.He shook his head and bodily pushed her back to the others.When they got back they found Arby was leaning against a column standing on one foot.His leg was a bloody mess.He whimpered as Mitch knelt, checking him over.“You are lucky you didn't lose it kid,” Mitch said.“Next time watch where you step,” he growled.“I don't feel so good,” the young man said, swooning.“Easy,” Vance said, holding out his free hand.He had his other hand full supporting a very pale Gina.Tina was working on the girl, applying bandages and biofoam to the limb.She had forceps in the girl's arm, clamping the severed arteries.“We are in serious trouble here,” Vance said, voice quavering.He was clearly worried.“Are we going to make it back to the airlock?”“Son of a bitch!” Tina snarled as she spun, fending off a swarm of scorpions.She stomped a few times then fired her shotgun, blasting dozens away but more filled in their place.She stepped back as Gina screamed again and began sobbing uncontrollably.“No time,” Mitch said, shouldering Arby in a fireman's carry.“Move people,” he said, pointing to the arrow marking and initials on a column.“That way,” he said.“Son of a bitch!” Tina snarled.Mitch turned enough to see her limping.“What?”“Either I just shot myself with buckshot or I got stung.I'm getting pins and needle feelings all through my legs,” she growled.“Probably shot yourself,” the chief said, at her side, he tucked her against his side and pulled her along.“Do you have the antivenin?” the chief asked after a few moments of hurried movement.“I'm not even sure I got stung.I'm not numb.I may have stomped too hard,” Tina said, breathing heavily in his ear.Her eyes darted about the darkness.“I don't have any anyway.”“You what?”“We only have so much and the stuff requires refrigeration,” she said sighing.“Damn.”“Yeah, damn, I think I got stung,” Arby said.“Right in my left leg.Multiple times,” he said, voice slurring.“You'd be out or dead if you got hit that many times kid,” Tina said gruffly.She sucked in a pained breath, still limping.“I have come to the conclusion that I don't like caves.And killing bugs with shotguns is overkill.Even if they are big ass bugs.”The chief snorted harshly but didn't comment, he just kept hauling her along.“I.I don't feel so good.My leg is burning.” Arby said.“Am I going to die?” He wailed, sobbing in pain and fear.“Don't let the fear rule you kid, just keep breathing,” the gunny urged.“Hard to do bent over someone's shoulder,” Arby said just as the gunny turned and fired into the shadows.“What? What is it??” the kid demanded.“You don't want to know,” Phyllis growled, firing as well.“It's headed high.We can't get it up there,” she said to the gunny.“We're at least what, a hundred meters from the door?” Vance asked as Gina sobbed.She slumped in his arms.He cursed and lifted her up over his shoulder.His knees buckled, he staggered under her weight but kept going.“More than that, I can't see the light,” Mitch said.He wished he'd thought to put on a pair of HUD glasses but he'd overlooked them.He also wished he'd brought in more backup.More lights, more firepower.They ran a fighting retreat to the door.The security bots were there, standing guard.“Mitch to infirmary, we've got wounded.Three, two critical.I need people here NOW! Prep for surgery.Get additional security on alert.I want everyone awake!” He ordered, touching his throat mike as he stood by the door.He handed Arby off to Akira.“Get him to sickbay,” he said.Akira nodded and took off at a trot with Vance carrying Gina right behind him.Once the wounded were inside, the gunny turned and pulled a flash bang from Mitch's harness.“We could have used these earlier,” the gunny growled.Phyllis saw him do it and pulled one as well.She passed it to the chief and then pulled another.“Wait,” Mitch said turning as they pulled the pins and tossed them into the cavern.“Fire in the hole!” The gunny said, swinging the door shut.The others turned away and covered their ears.The grenades went off with a muffled thud.He grinned at Phyllis.“Nothing like getting a little payback,” he growled.“I'm more worried about where they will go,” Mitch said.“Their problem,” the gunny said.“Not if they head up,” Mitch said, pointing to the ceiling.“Then they make it ours,” he said.The gunny frowned thoughtfully.“Shit, shut up,” Phyllis ordered, hand out.“What's that sound?” She demanded.There was a steady thump thump then the chatter of weapons fire [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
