“Selfish little self-righteous bitch,” Francina spat, ignoring Connor’s question. Gertie walked towards three gunmen covering her from behind a building.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, Connor decided.
“Did you know she was working with them?” Francina turned to Noecker.
“No idea, and neither did the clairvoyant. Useless carnival con-woman that she is. I should never have -” He stopped, glaring at Connor.
“At least we kept her away from the strategic locations. She doesn’t know where our arms dump is,” mused Francina.
“She’s been implanted with the chip as well. We’ll be able to track her,” added Noecker.
“That’s for another day. We must steal that plane and get to Cape Town. Let’s get moving.”
“Wait a minute.” Connor stopped. “I’ve been in isolation too long to keep up with current events. You guys are the Drop, right? And you’re going to free South Africa of Covid-19. So who the hell are they?”
“Bunch of hippies. Cleanse humankind using the virus, trim the fat, lower world population, save the planet, bullshit organization,” said Noecker.
Catchy name, thought Connor. “Kill the population. As long as it’s not them. They’ll replicate Gertie’s immunity for themselves, I presume. I know I would.”
Francina shrugged. “We have to move. We’re about two kays away. There will be guards, and our research says there’s one anti-aircraft battery, which we’ll need to take out, if we don’t want to get blown from the skies.”
