Liberating Army Surplus, 2

[singindemonhq]

Percy and Sam and I had sat down and gone right through what we'd need and what each of us would be doing during the whole base-looting gig.

We'd taken heavy duty, insulated wire-cutters and Percy made short work of the barbed-wire fence with them. It seemed a good idea to be able to get the car inside if we wanted to load it.

We were supposed to keep together. One to go into a hut, two to make sure he came out - but the camp was dead. We found a room with maps - I gave those to Percy, he was carrying the gear anyway - but when we found duplicate bunches of keys it seemed a good idea to save time by splitting up. I took the west side of the camp.

Most of the huts there seemed to be offices. There was none of the stuff that we were after. Then I found the jeeps. I was checking them, but they seemed to have been disabled.

Percy and Samantha have the hot-wire mojo and I'd meant to ask one of them to show me how, it seemed simple enough. These vehicles had immobilising devices, though, and the gas-tanks seemed to be empty.

Gas was one of our major priorities, and I started to check anywhere that looked likely, searching for fuel drums.
