74. Liam

Jenna jerked her head up and gazed at the window, a deep frown etching her face against the candlelight. “I wish that siren would shut up.” Getting up, she stood at the window, staring through the vertical blinds into the night.

“Sit down.”

She turned back to him. “We can’t stay here.”

“That alarm’s got to stop sometime.”

“I’m serious. We can’t do it.”

Liam let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. “So, what? We just up and leave?”

She paced the room, wringing her wrists. “I’m not going to wait for the power station to have some kind of meltdown.”

“Speaking of meltdowns...”

“Don’t you fucking dare.” She narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you dare make light of this.”

He raised his hands. “I just think you’re overreacting. We’ve just got home.” He shrugged. “Granted, it’s not perfect. But I’m not going back to Leeds or Wolverhampton. We need to make the best of what we’ve got.”

“Leeds? Why the fuck would we want to go to Leeds?” She dropped down on the sofa next to him and leaned forward with her elbows on her knees. “Do you remember what that Frank guy said?”

“About what? Why are you bringing him up now?”

“I’ve replayed everything he said to us in my head a thousand times.”

Liam reached for her hand and she drew it away. “You did what you had to do.”

She cleared her throat. “What happened only happened because you stole his gun. And a lot of fucking use that did.”

Liam got to his feet. “I’m sorry. I don’t see what this has got to do with anything. If mistakes were made then mistakes were made. I seem to recall those weapons coming in useful. I seem to recall them being a part of the reason why we made it home, why we’re still alive.”

She let out a long sigh. “Frank said something about Anglesey being safe.”

“So?”

“So, that’s where we should go.”

“Based on what?”

“Based on getting as far away from that power station with Tommy as we can. Based on getting as far away from those plague doctors as we can.” She folded her arms. “We’re going. That’s the end of the discussion.”

“And what if I don’t want to? What if I think you’re overreacting?”

Jenna gave a half-shrug and swallowed. “You either come with us, or you stay here. I’m leaving first thing and Tommy is coming with me.”

“You’re pulling an ultimatum?”

“No. I’d like to think you’re with us. But I can’t stay here and I can’t leave Tommy.” She turned to him. “I don’t want to leave you either. But this is about survival.” She pointed to the window. “We can’t stay here.”
