CHAPTER 21

“That’s one elaborate story,” Neil chuckles, looking at us through his squinched eye, the one that isn’t swollen shut. “All you had to say was you felt guilty for leaving me and changed your minds. Hell, I woulda left me too. Thanks for coming back,” he says, slapping my hand in appreciation. It’s called giving dap, Tyrone taught me that, but white people call it a high five. Either way, I know he means it from the bottom of his heart.

“Saltwater though?” Scott asks, still shaking his head in confusion. “I mean, what the hell? I don’t even get it. You’re really sure?”

Felecia moves aside Caylee’s bandana and lifts the edge of her bandage to reveal the bite. “Pretty sure. So what’s their story?” she asks, just out of earshot of the girl from the window and who I’m assuming are her mother and older brother, throwing all their earthly possessions into backpacks.

“That’s Ellen,” Scott whispers, and I can’t help but wonder why we’re whispering. Do we not realize they’re in the same room and the boy is staring directly at us? “Sami’s her daughter, the one who was shooting. And that’s her son, Anthony.”

“Okay,” I whisper back, I guess I’ll play along. “Why is Anthony staring at me like he wants to lick my toes?”

“I think he’s special,” Scott says skeptically. “He doesn’t talk. But he likes putting stuff in the toaster. I don’t know much else, we’ve just been trying to stay alive all night. The zombies didn’t start to clear until a little while ago, gunshots on the other side of the island, I think it drew their attention. The three of them were hiding in the attic.”

“What are we gonna do?” Felecia groans, running her fingers through her hair. “We can’t take them with us. We can’t all fit on that chopper as it is.”

“They saved us.” Neil’s voice is raspier than I remember, I’m not sure if it’s from the beating he took or from a night of fighting for his life without us there to back him up. “We’re not leaving them. We gotta make room.”

“It’s a freakin’ helicopter,” Felecia hisses. “What are we gonna do, have them cling to the propellers? If there’s too much weight on it, we’re not flying anywhere.”

“You do realize I can hear you.” The mother zips up her pack, throwing it over her shoulder and leading the kids towards us. “Please, I’m begging you, as a mother, please, just take them. I can’t put them through another second of this. Together, they’re only the weight of one adult. They don’t deserve to suffer like this.”

“Mommy, no, you have to come too.”

“Sami, sweetie…” She kneels down and places both hands on her daughter’s shoulders, “I have to find your sister. Erica needs my help. And once I find her, we’ll head east. We’ll meet you in London, I promise. You have to be strong right now, and look after your brother. Just like Erica needs me, Anthony needs you.
