‘Where can I get some gloves?’
‘There’s a box in the boot of the
car.’
Digby turned back and made the fifty-yard
journey back to where they’d parked. Gloves on gloves might be a bit
over-extreme for some people but he’d knew he’d be fired on the spot if he didn’t
follow forensic protocol. As he set off back towards the trailer he heard a
whizzing above him. He looked up to see a trio of drones soar over him and
enter the square.
‘Warning: Purge in progress. Any
unauthorised presence will be removed.’ He then heard a whirr of machine guns
followed by screams and his unit captain yelling ‘Get down.’ He threw himself
to the ground. Just ahead of him was a large industrial metal wheelie bin.
Could he crawl towards it for cover?
Just as he’d crawled two yards
the drones circled around for another pass. This pass was much lower and was
followed by more screaming followed by deathly silence. He looked up to see his
hosts walk about in their white onesies with their mysterious copper chip on
show. Could the drones have mistaken his laptop as a chip similar to the hosts?
