“Crap!” I whispered, the moment I peeked over the cliff.

Florenza and I were hidden behind a line of rocks, looking down at the shoreline, a thousand feet below. The tide was high and the water was right at the cliff’s edge, but there were enough large rocks scattered here and there that the Crazies could balance just above the waves.

“There’s sixteen of them,” said Florenza, counting.

“Look down there,” I said, pointing to a house farther down the coast. “The Crazies are coming out from that house—on the other side of the pool cabana. Then, they’re moving behind the rocks to here.”

“You were right…no way Nate or Xav could see them from the ocean.”

“See that?” I motioned toward a small game trail, leading up the cliffside, eventually coming out between two large rocks. “That’s where they’ll come up…right there.”

“I don’t see anymore guys coming out from that house,” said Florenza. “You think that’s all there is?”

Quickly, I counted the Crazies scampering over the rocks toward the Point. “Which will mean twenty-five altogether. And it looks like the ones below us are waiting for the rest of them to arrive before they come up the trail.”

“We gotta’ tell someone!”

“This has to be why we haven’t been attacked, yet. Why the other Crazies are taking their time, coming down the canyons and along the highway. They’re probably waiting until these ones are in place first. Very smart…the Crazies are flanking us, surrounding us.”

Florenza pulled urgently on my sleeve. “We need to go, Kaylee!”

I shrugged off her hand.

“Take Beauty,” I ordered. “Ride back to the compound and tell them what’s happening. I want everyone with a gun here ASAP!”

“You’re not coming?!”

“Somebody needs to keep track of what they’re doing. Now, hurry up! We’ve got maybe ten minutes before those other Crazies reach this cliff. You need to get our guys back here before then.”

“On it!” Florenza moved so fast that I don’t think it even registered with her how easily she leapt onto the back of the horse. If she had been scared of Beauty before—she certainly wasn’t anymore.
