Panting (he was an audio guy, not an athlete),
Brody reached the fence. He put a hand on it and felt his arm spasm
uncontrollably in one long, sustained, hot pulse.
The same type of electric shock that had knocked
him off the second fence was once again rushing through his fingers and into
his arm. He crumpled to the ground with a new, yet familiar, scream on his
lips. Luckily, he fell backward, and the weight of his body jerked his hand
away from the fence, breaking the electrical current.
Lying in the snow, his arm shook violently for
several seconds, and Jesus, his heart—it was skipping beats like a rock
skimming a lake. He looked back at the fence. It was just fifteen feet high,
and slouching in parts where the support poles were bent, or in some cases
missing. It was old, a relic of a bygone era. Totally unassuming.
Or so he’d thought.
Somehow, there was now electricity coursing through
it, electricity that hadn’t been there when he’d first scaled it, just minutes
earlier.
Someone had turned on the juice, and that meant
someone was watching him.
When he first parked his car, he’d counted two
fences from the road.
Two fences between him and the rumored Soviet installation.
No problem, he’d thought. The fences were falling
apart—he could easily climb them. But now here he was, stuck in between them.
Like a rat in a cage.
With his stomach in his throat, Brody cradled the
audio recorder.
Okay, so he’d recorded a sound that just might
change the world, but as several headlights appeared in the road just beyond
the now-electrified fence, as dark silhouettes of bulky Russian men poured out
of the cars and hurried through the snow toward him, he found himself asking a
much more personal question:
Was it also a sound worth dying for?
