Z-Day + 1 - 6:30 AM Mountain Time - Warren Air Force Base, west of Cheyenne, Wyoming
In the secure room-
The four women who had entered Warren Air Force Base through the secret tunnel had spent the night in the secure room in the basement of the Security Center and had just finished breakfast. Sally the nurse had survived the previous day against incredible odds. First the truck stop where she had spent the morning had been attacked by both zombies and skinheads. Then she and several others had explored and been trapped in a secret facility beneath the truck stop. All of them were now dead - all but her. A horrifying slimy monster had shattered her leg, knocking her out, and she would have died there if someone else hadn't come back to rescue her. She and her fellow survivors had fled deeper underground, into strange tunnels somehow carved into the earth. They had managed to find a way through some caves to the surface, only to be attacked again, this time by an enormous burrowing worm-like creature that destroyed the car they had found. Sally had rolled out of the vehicle right before it struck, and that had saved her life. Everyone else had been slaughtered. The last act of Rosie the waitress had been to throw her a flashlight she needed to survive in the one place she could find shelter - back in the caves. She had fled, her broken leg slowing her down, only barely making it inside ahead of the monster. Then she had gotten lost and fallen into a pit containing zombies that had also fallen in and been trapped. As she desperately tried to escape, one of them managed to grab her, and it was only with the greatest of luck that she had broken free and climbed out before they could finish her. She had no choice but to go through the one place she had never wanted to see: the skinheads' compound.
Sally had met a girl named Kerry Pierce who had been locked up in the facility beneath the truck stop. She had been abducted and held captive by the skinheads along with other women. She had managed to escape through the underground tunnels only to run afoul of Hammond and Earl, the skinheads' allies. Sneaking through the underground part of their base, Sally encountered the skinheads' cruel leader, Mutt. Alone, Sally had no choice but to pretend to join these sick, vicious men. Had they known her true intentions, she would have joined the captives and been subjected to the same horrible abuse. She befriended one of the skinheads, a doctor named Nathan Hill who was known as Doc. He was different from the other skinheads, and he fell in love with her. Together they did what they could for her injuries and tried to protect the captive women, who included Katarina and Zoe. The skinheads destroyed the gigantic worm that had pursued her with explosives, but later an even bigger one attacked and they were all forced to flee. The four surviving enslaved women were locked in the back of a panel van driven by three of the skinheads: Deadeye, Nitro, and Ghost. Sally had ridden in a pickup truck with Doc and Mutt.
They stopped for the night at a ranger station, which was manned by park rangers Dan Aldrich and Julie St. James. The skinheads had left most of the women locked in the van but had allowed Katarina to come inside with them. Sally warned the rangers of the peril they faced and the women being kept prisoner. The girls locked in the van managed to escape, and the skinheads chased after them, leaving Sally, Katarina, and Doc with the rangers. The rangers went to try to find the women first and protect them. They had apparently gotten the upper hand and captured two of the skinheads, but the tables quickly turned. Mutt, now aware of their treachery, gunned down Doc and demanded that Sally and Katarina surrender. Knowing that doing so would mean rape and torture, the women fought back. Sally gave Katarina a grenade she had found under the truck stop, which she used to kill Mutt. Unfortunately, Nitro and Deadeye had survived and taken one of the girls, Lara Voronova, hostage. They escaped with her in the van in spite of Sally and Katarina's best efforts to stop them. They rejoined the rangers, Zoe, and Raquel, the other freed captive. Then the earth began to shake, a sure sign that one of the burrowing creatures was on its way. They fled the ranger station in the pickup truck, but they were unable to track down the van and instead headed west into Wyoming. They ended up going to Warren Air Force Base, following instructions that Doc had given before he died, and entered by way of a secret tunnel that the skinheads' confederates in the Air Force used to smuggle out weapons to a warehouse they owned. However, Dan and Raquel had been bitten, and they remained behind in the warehouse, knowing they were doomed.
Zoe Gallagher was still getting used to her newfound freedom. The terrors of the day before were still fresh in her mind. She had managed to escape from her cell to try to save fellow captive Mei Ling, only to be recaptured and chloroformed. She had expected to awaken tied up, but while she had been out Mei Ling had nearly killed her captor and been killed herself. Zoe hid from the other skinheads searching for her, but they managed to find her. She had been certain that they would gang rape her, but instead Jeff, Mutt's brother, wanted to have her first and sent the others to eat dinner. Zoe stalled for time as long as she was able. In the end, she thought she would have to submit to the inevitable, but her friends Alicia, Raquel, and Lara had managed to escape on their own and arrived at the last second to rescue her. Alicia was injured dropping into the room from a vent in the ceiling, and then Jeff seized her. Zoe grabbed Jeff's rifle, which he had put down, but Jeff used Alicia as a hostage. Zoe opened fire and wounded Jeff, but a stray bullet killed Alicia. Lara shot Jeff in the head with his own pistol, killing him instantly.
However, the gunfire had drawn the other skinheads, and they recaptured the girls. Mutt was going to torture Lara in revenge for his brother's death, but Katarina distracted him and lured him away. Zoe was tied up, but she managed to wriggle free of her bonds and get her hands on a tear gas grenade, which she used to try to incapacitate Mutt, but she botched the throw and ended up disabling herself, after which Zoe was handcuffed. When the giant worm attacked, the surviving skinheads took the women back up to the surface and made off with them. When the van stopped, the skinheads took Katarina away. Zoe managed to pick the lock and led Raquel and Lara to freedom. They found an abandoned house, but the skinheads tracked them down. Lara fled, but Zoe and Raquel were caught again. Ghost stayed behind to guard his captives while the others hunted for Lara. He took Zoe to an upstairs bedroom. In desperation, she tried to fling herself through a window rather than be violated again, but he grabbed her and threw her down on the bed. She fought back madly, but he overpowered her and she was helpless to stop him. Again she was miraculously saved, this time by Dan, who burst in and shot Ghost dead. Lara had found the rangers and brought them back. They all fled from the house before the other skinheads returned, only to run into a zombie and be forced to flee back to the house, where the skinheads had captured Julie. The zombie pursuing them distracted them long enough for Dan to get the drop on them, and the scumbags were wounded and captured. When Dan went out back to check on things, Zoe and Lara took advantage of the situation to try to kill their rapists. That was when everything went south. Deadeye grabbed the gun from Lara and took her hostage, and he and Nitro escaped with her.
Katarina Iliescu had been through the same sort of hell, but she was proving to be very resilient and resourceful. She and Sally had become instant friends and had helped each other survive. When Mutt had taken her to his bedroom at the compound, she had managed to talk him into taking her upstairs to buy some time, where she did what little she could to protect the other girls, keeping Mutt busy so that he wouldn't torture her best friend Lara. She was able to manipulate the men while still keeping their trust, so that they brought her into the ranger station instead of leaving her locked in the van. Despair had nearly overwhelmed her after Mutt killed Doc and had her and Sally trapped, but she found the long-buried courage to fight back and killed him, saving herself and her new friend from his cruel vengeance. Though she had come close, she had failed to save Lara too. But now she had the chance to do something. After they had gained entry to the base, she had smoothed things over with the guards and then convinced the base's security chief, Lt. Colonel Smedley, to mount a mission to capture Deadeye and Nitro and rescue Lara by telling him that they would know who the traitors helping the skinheads smuggle weapons out of the base were. She longed to kill the brutes, but at least this way she had a chance to rescue Lara. She didn't like thinking about what they had done to the poor girl overnight, but she had to hope that they had kept her alive. Mutt was the one who had wanted her dead.
Julie St. James had had her share of terror and heartbreak. She had been frightened to death when the skinheads had gotten the drop on her back at the abandoned house, terrified at the prospect of being abducted and raped. Luckily, Dan had saved her from that fate. Zoe, in a fit of madness, had held her at gunpoint and made her drop her weapon so that Lara could kill the prisoners. The skinheads turned the tables and kidnapped Lara, and they might have taken her too had Zoe not rushed over and put her own gun in Julie's hands. Dan had protected the remaining women on their journey to Warren Air Force Base at the cost of his own life. He had been so heroic, and before she had to leave him he had confessed his love for her. If only she had known earlier...but it was too late now. Now she was getting ready to go with Katarina on this crazy mission to save Lara, placing herself in terrible peril again.
The women had just finished eating breakfast when there was a knock on the door. Julie opened it and saw Airman Carolyn Wagner, one of the MPs who had found them after they had entered the base. Three other women in orange Racal suits stood behind her. "Good morning, ladies," said Carolyn. "The medical staff want to examine you now. They've already checked me out and given me a clean bill of health."
"I'm Captain Claire Kelleher," said the orange-suited woman in the middle. "I'm a doctor. These are my nurses, Lt. Sara Evans and Lt. Barbara Ellison." She indicated the other two each in turn. "We need to give each of you a physical and psychological examination before you can be cleared to leave quarantine and be assigned your duties."
