    About this ebook

    Viktor and Jelena leave their base behind in a smoldering nuclear waste. With their comrades dead, the two of them are what’s left of the Russian army in their district zone. It’s up to them to get the word out about what happened. Too bad the closest base is five hundred miles away, and the closest town a hundred.

    They hope to find supplies and a car in the town to get them to the base. However, before they can, they first need to catch up with the rebels who killed Anna and Gregor to carry out their revenge in full.

      GONE WORLD

      EPISODE FIVE: THE CHASE

      BY A.ROSARIA

Any resemblance to persons, living or dead, actual events, locales or organizations is entirely coincidental.

      THE CHASE

      Jelena followed Viktor. The tall man walked with long, confident strides as if he knew exactly where they were going. She knew better, most likely, like herself, he had no idea. He couldn‘t have. Or did he? For the year they had been stationed at their base, they had not ventured far outside the gates. In addition, it didn‘t help to get your bearings when everything looked the same—like one big old mess.

      Viktor had it in his head that his brother and wife‘s killer must have gone this way. That must be why he kept going relentlessly. Last night, she thought she had heard something. She had urged him to stop, and they did. However, he was too impatient to wait for long and certainly not to waste time looking. After a short minute of standing still and hearing nothing, Viktor pressed on impatiently. It worried her that they might overlook something. If they missed something, they might fall into a trap they couldn‘t get out off.

      Walking. The only thing they did all day yesterday. Walking. Into the night and not stopping at sunrise. They kept walking. On and on, not stopping.

      Jelena‘s muscles ached with each step. She was unsure how much longer she could continue on this death march. It was inhuman the way he kept going, relentless in his pursuit, not tiring, and not a single look back to see how well she was doing.

      Commander, we should rest.

      Njet, he said. His word was barely heard over his boots hitting the broken road.

      Viktor!

      He turned around. Sergeant, if you don‘t want to follow me, just stay back and get out of my way. Viktor scowled at her, turned back around, and continued walking.

      Jelena felt anger boil up from the pit within, where she kept all her pent up rage. Only thanks to her training did she manage to contain her anger somewhat. She had to control herself; he was still her superior officer, a much better officer than the one she actually hit in a fit of rage not so long ago. She kept her silence for now.

      A spell of lightheadedness passed over her. Jelena stumbled to a stop, and wobbled where she stood. Gritting her teeth, she was not about to give up, not in front of that man. Jelena forced herself to press on. As she caught up to Victor, he grabbed her arm. Jelena threw him an angry look, ready to snap at him, but faltered when she saw his worried face.

      Sergeant, I shouldn‘t have said that. You are right. We‘ll take a short break.

      Viktor let her go and she staggered back, tripped over her feet, and fell, sitting on the dirty road. Too exhausted to feel ashamed, she didn‘t stand back up. It was as good a spot as any other to rest.

      She looked up at her commander. He stood in front of her with his feet apart at attention, looking down at her. How was it possible he wasn‘t dead tired like her? They both were human beings, mortals, with limits.

      Are you sure this is the right spot to set up camp?

      Jelena looked around her. I don‘t expect any cars on the road, or anything else. And we have a clear view around us. She pointed around them at the dead tree stumps and cratered landscape. Any creep crawling around has no cover to hide behind.

      He sat next to her. Again you‘re right.

      Sir?

      Yes?

      May I ask a question?

      You‘ve been candid with me so far. Why the sudden reserve? Is it something bad?

      It could very well be. It was unwise to question an officer after all. She wanted to retract the question, but his ice-cold eyes demanded she talk.

      Have you any idea where we are going?

      To nowhere, there is no place left for me in this world. He smirked. And neither for you.

      A shiver went up her spine. He was so different from his brother. There was no warmth behind those cold eyes. She couldn‘t hold his intense stare any longer and looked down at the dirt she sat on. Earth. Poisoned earth. They were indeed lost.

      Sergeant, we are not far from our destination. Just one more mile to go.

      Sir? Where you taking us?

      A honeypot. His right upper lip turned up in a smile that resembled a sneer.

      Honeypot?

      A place to trap rebels and stragglers. We left a building intact and stocked with goods on a visible spot so no one wandering around could ignore it. Once they get inside, a silent alarm goes off, and we come sweeping in to capture them. Ours never caught a mouse. That is until today. He fished a flexible digital map out of his pocket. A red light blinked on its
