“There’s something wrong with Donnie,” Andi said. She pointed toward the glove box. Terry opened it and found packages of beef jerky. “You know how I found him?”

Terry opened a packet of teriyaki flavored dried meat and handed it to Andi, then opened a black pepper jerky packet, pulled out a piece and handed it back to Nikki. “In a psycho ward?”

Andi didn’t laugh. “That’d be funny if it wasn’t accurate.” She lay the packet of beef jerky on her right leg and turned on the wipers, white streaks of crow shit and wiper fluid smeared across the glass until it was clean enough. “I was parked out on the highway, scared. I was scared. I’d just seen the massacre at the zoo and, yeah, I was so scared.” She pulled a bite of jerky off the stick and chewed slowly. “I sat there and saw your car come down the highway, then pull off onto a street. This guy was following you.”

Following us? A shiver crossed Terry’s shoulders. “No shit.”

Andi nodded. “At a safe distance. He could see you, but unless you were looking, you couldn’t see him.” She took another bite. “Mr. Peeky, that’s what I called him, turned on the same street you did and I followed him. He was sitting in his truck spying on that red-haired girl–”

“Jenna,” Nikki said.

“Jenna, through a pair of binoculars. He started sneaking up toward her so I got out of the car to see what he was up to. I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t been there.”

Terry sat silently, chewing the jerky. “You wanna beer?”

“Sure.”

A beer cracked open, Terry handed it to Andi and opened one for Nikki before popping one for himself. “That kid creeped me out from the moment I saw him,” Terry said. “He’s got that look, you know? Like he’s got a head full of squirrels, or something.”

“Yeah.”

“But what are we going to do about him?” Nikki asked. “We can’t turn him loose. He’s a baby. He’d be dead in a day.”

Good. Andi nodded. “I know. We just need to keep our eyes on him.”

The Subaru passed a gigantic wooden Bass Pro Shops building and under modern sculptures that rose over the highway, the kind of sculptures that looked a bit like sailing ships, but not enough for anyone to actually think that with any confidence. Maybe future artists would fall back into realism, if the human race lasted at all.

“What have you all been through?” Andi asked. Terry sat in silence, staring straight ahead as they approached the Lake Manawa exit. Nikki poked his shoulder.

Terry shook his head. “What? Oh, sorry.”

“You okay?”

Terry nodded. “Yeah, sure. I was just thinking about Batman.” He turned toward Andi, his brow pinched. “What superhero would most likely survive the zombie apocalypse?”

A slow hiss escaped Nikki. “Not this again.”

Andi shrugged. “I really haven’t thought about it much. Superman, I guess.”

“You’d think so,” Terry said, pointing at Andi with his beer. “But it’s gotta be Batman.”

A quick flash of George Clooney in director Joel Schumacher’s nippled batsuit flew through her head.
