Chapter 22

“BOSS?” ANNETTE ASKED when she noticed that Sergey was a little upset.

“Never mind. What’s goin’ on out there?” Sergey’s old boss had thought highly of his ability to set unnecessary thoughts aside and pull himself together.

“All clear for now. I’ve put together a more or less safe route, but you’re not going to be able to get to their supplies.”

“Um… sir?” Regina asked carefully, walking up to Sergey. It had taken her a long time to work up the courage to speak to him because he was talking to someone.

“Yeah?” The man turned around and looked at the beautiful girl standing before him. Despite the bruises and layers of grime, she was really cute — at least an eight out of ten. But her modesty and demure expression lent her face a special charm.

“Everyone agrees to your terms,” Regina said, trying not to make eye contact with Sergey. Like many women, she’d started to be afraid of men ever since the apocalypse. Regina was sure that this man was one of the few who deserved her trust, but women’s intuition isn’t always logical.

“Already?” the man asked, looking from Regina to the throng of women gathered nearby.

“Yeah… if we stay here, we’ll all die for sure, but you’re offering us a new life…” the girl replied, looking down at her feet.

“Alright, tell ‘em all to come over here.”

“Okay!”

The girls all assembled in front of Sergey, and he started teleporting them to the shelter one at a time. The girls were scared at first, but they eventually got used to it. To make sure they trusted him, he brought a few of the girls back from the shelter so they could tell the others it was safe there, not full of serial rapists and hordes of zombies like some of the more panicky girls had imagined. Things are never easy with women…

“Man, I’m beat…” The man stretched and cracked his joints. His exhaustion was more mental than physical. He was standing in a completely empty barracks, with no people or furniture in sight.

Reaching into the shelter, Surrogate grabbed a candy bar, gobbled it up, and washed it down with some cool spring water.

“Guess there’s a reason they say sugar heals all wounds,” the man thought out loud, feeling much better, although no one else had ever actually said that. “Annette, report.”

“All clear for now, but I’m seeing some strange movement. You should probably get out of there, Boss.”

“Gotcha. Lead the way.”

With Annette’s guidance, Sergey made his way through the camp, constantly hiding and waiting for a chance to sneak past security without getting spotted. But the closer Sergey got to the edge of the camp, the more patrols there were…

“Come back, Boss. They’ve sounded the alarm.”

“That was quick… alright then.” Sergey looked around him and teleported back to the shelter.

“Where is he?! Where’s Lisa?! Where’s everybody?!” the gorilla chief roared. She’d just walked into the room where they were holding the prisoner and found no one. She turned purple with rage, and the veins on her neck bulged like pulsating snakes under her skin.
