Wynn fell to his knees as sores broke out on his face. Blood and drool ran down his chin and he screamed and screamed. Then his skin split, cracking around the sores. He gurgled out a plea, “Make it stop. Please!”

Johnson exchanged tense looks with Uncle Mike, who grabbed Will and I by the arms and spun us around. As soon as he’d dragged us ten feet, a rifle shot cracked.

The sergeant stopped screaming.

There was a horrifying moment of silence, then Schmitz murmured a blessing. I wrenched my arm free from Mike’s grip, took two steps and threw up, not sure if it was the state of Wynn’s face or the sound of the bullet making me sick. We had to mercy-kill a guy on the team. We had to shoot him to save him. Oh, God…I wanted to curl up in the fetal position with my arms over my head, but the wail of a little girl brought me back to reality.

“That way,” Will said, his voice shaking. He pointed toward the guardhouse.

The guardhouse was at the corner of a row of buildings. Fog seeped down the alleys between them, so we skirted the village. As we passed between buildings, I got glimpses of pale bodies walking through the fog, some carrying a struggling person.

The fog hadn’t gotten all the way around the guardhouse, but we had company, so we couldn’t advance. When I saw what waited for us, I skidded to a halt, and Will crashed into my back.
