Tomorrow 7 - The Other Side Of Dawn - Plot & Excerpts
The later the night got, the more time the trucks spent at the servo. I guess everyone slows down at night. Some of the small convoys sat around for thirty or forty minutes. That was good for us, because we would have more time to sneak up on the vehicles and plant the explosive charges.We’d set up an assembly line, back in the bush, out of sight of the road, where we spent two hours putting twenty small bombs together. Gavin organised the raw materials, Lee and I did the actual assembling, then Fi checked them, then Kevin. Homer stayed on lookout.It wasn’t difficult doing the work. If they’d been bonbons, which I’d always made for Christmas instead of buying cheap nasty ones in the shops, I’d have done them quite quickly: no sweat, no worries. These weren’t any more complicated than bonbons. But knowing I was working, not with cardboard tubes and tissue-paper hats, not with handwritten jokes and homemade nougat, but with detonators and fuses and high explosive ... well, it did make a difference.
