August Burning (Book 1): Outbreak - Plot & Excerpts
Somewhere north of Washington, D.C “Got some in here sir.” Adira turned in her sleep. What the hell was that? She opened her eyes. There were three figures standing over the couch. Adira screamed. Their flashlights came on, and Adira was suddenly at gunpoint. Behind the black gun-barrels were three camouflaged forms, their faces covered by gas masks and goggles. “On your feet! Everyone up!” Jaxton rose from the opposite couch, shielding his eyes from the light. “What the hell is going on?” One of the masked men lowered his weapon. “You’re being evacuated. Let’s move. Everyone out! Grab your shit and get outside!” Adira fumbled with her backpack and dressed quickly, sliding back into her damp clothes. She shivered against the chill. Stumbling, the group was prodded outside, to the street. A series of trucks were waiting for them, already half filled with bleary eyed and frustrated others. Adira felt Bennett draw closer to her, as he always did, like her guardian. There were teams of soldiers moving all around them, their little cones of white light sweeping houses and yards.
