without having to get on board.” I said.
Amy shook her head before saying “How the fuck are you going to destroy the labs then?”
“C4.” I said.
David’s head turned around and said “And?”
Not looking at Amy, I said “How about we just blow the support legs that the oil rig stands on?”
Chris just laughed and said “Fucking clever.”
Mike nodded and said “You know, that’s not a bad idea. We wouldn’t even have to find a way to get on board.”
“Before you all go slapping each other on the back, where are we going to get C4 or any kind of explosive?” Amy said with her arms crossed.
“Actually, the armoury back at the Bunker has plenty.” Chris replied.
I watched her expression and saw her eyes narrow slightly. She was thinking something up and I knew it involved getting me to go back to the Bunker.
“So that means we have to head back to the Bunker and get it.” Amy said.
There was a pause whilst the others thought about going back home.
“Look, we won’t need all of us to plant the C4 and the others could stay behind and help run things at the Bunker.” I said.
Looking at each one of them in turn I said “Amy wants to head back and there is safety in numbers so how about we do this. David, Mike and Chris can escort her back to the Bunker. I’ll stay here and wait on the lifeboat to make sure nothing happens to it. Chris can head back with some C4. We’ll head out to the oil rig and blow the fucker up and be back at the Bunker in a few days.”
David looked relieved that he would see his family again. I could tell by Amy’s face I had put a spanner in her works. Mike looked like he wasn’t bothered either way. The one that had me concerned was Chris. When I had said he could come and help me blow up the oil rig, he turned away to look out of the windows. Usually I would have thought something like this would tickle his fancy but it looked like I might’ve be wrong this time.
“What’s up, Chris?”
He turned to look at me “Sorry, mate, when I get back, I’m staying.”
I honestly felt like someone had slapped me across my face. I knew something might have been up but I thought he would have still wanted to help.
“Ok?!”
“Look, you know I would help in any way. Hell, I even came to find you, but this time I have to say no. Tessa is expecting and I actually want to be there for the birth. That and the fact that Benton doesn’t know exactly where the Bunker is. If we take precautions, then they might never find it.”
“But if they do find it and we don’t take care of them now, then your baby might never have a chance to grow up.” I said.
“Marc!” Amy said.
“Shut up!” I shouted at Amy.
“Come on, Marc.” David said, walking over and putting a hand on my shoulder.
Shrugging his hand off my shoulder I said “Go on head back to your little hole in the ground. She...” pointing at Amy “has got what she wanted. The only difference to her plan is that I’m not coming with you.”
Chapter Sixteen
I stormed out of the room and headed back to the little cabin I had been using. I slammed the door and sat on the edge of the bed muttering under my breath. Seeing red probably wasn’t the way to go but I still felt that if we didn’t deal with Benton it would turn round to bite us. Sitting there stewing in my own juices I was getting more and more annoyed with the others. The fact that none of them had come after me made me feel more annoyed.
A gentle knock on the door to my cabin pulled me out of my dark thoughts.
“What?”
“You okay, bud?” Chris’ muffled voice came from the other side of the door.
I shook my head “I’m fine.”
The door opened and he stuck his head in “You don’t sound it.”
“Look, I’m sorry I snapped and for what I said. But you have to see
