Chapter 33-1 Red Winter

[LiamKerrington]

Wild guess #1:
The female soldier on the chopper (Kimmet) is wounded by a big little one - not a bite, 'only' it's claws with the 'endless number of fingers'.
In chapter #30 we learn about Roman having turned into a little one after having been attacked by little one #9 (or #6)- and that went pretty fast according to Glenn. But we don't know exactly, how Roman was wounded.
Questions would be: Is Kimmet actually infected? What, if the 'endless number of fingers' of the little ones serve the same purpose as the bites of regulars?

Wild guess #2:
Michael foretells 'it': The Chinook is a giant beast of a chopper; what if during the combat a smart one or even pinstripes was able to attach itself to the chinook and maybe even get into the heli during the flight? It was dark; and very likely there were many great opportunities to do something like this - covered by darkness, the noise of combat and the chopper ...

prediction for #33-2
The emergency cruise from boulder is ordered to fly into the direction of the Chinook in case it has to make an emergency landing.
Also and more importantly: Michael (and Puck and Riley and some others) might be allowed to start a rescue mission starting in Fort Irwin in order to 'intercept' the Chinook ...
