Chapter 28: Cautiously

Marcus rang again interrupting our banter. He relayed that we were almost at the gate but we needed to stop at the gate so Charles could survey the place with his drones first. All the groups that left our compound had been a drone. Since we were all going to high infection risk areas, proceed could only be done under the outmost care. We finally caught up with Leon and Marcus at the gate where they had stopped. A few seconds later two drones zoomed above us before promptly disappearing behind the seven foot gate.

A couple of minutes later Charles knocked on our door. We alighted from our truck, to meet a worried looking Charles. We all walked to Marcus truck at the front signalling Leon to get out as we passed by her. Charles held out a screen monitor and the feed displayed was cause for worry.
