Chapter 13

"So, I'm your sister-in-law, huh?" Emma muttered, twisting to get her jeans back up and fastened. They had stopped, for the first time in hours, after Jack complained he had to take a piss. The men of the New North America grunted, indicating that he should go right ahead and do so on the side of the road. It was only after a very pointed look towards Emma, who was squirming herself, that they let her go off the road. Not too far, of course, and not alone, which Emma would have preferred. Still, though embarrassing, it was infinitely better to relieve herself in front of Jack instead of those men.

Jack's back was to her and she kept turned away, aware of the sounds of his urination.

"Yeah, well, I thought it'd sound more serious, you know?" he answered.

"So it's not real."

"Well, it would be. At least for me," Jack said. He finished up and Emma heard his zipper being pulled. "But when your sister finds us, let me ask her first."

Emma couldn't help a small and pained smile at that. She kept trying to tell herself, this is what we wanted. They were headed north to find others, find the best chance of survival with a pocket of people who would have been least affected at the outbreak. That's why the goal was Alaska.

And here they were, arriving in the New North America.

The men had told them little, but enough, of the place they were taking them. The group had been out scavenging, but as soon as the explosion sounded they had been ordered to check it out. Their base camp was only a few hours walk away.

It was close to how they had envisioned it. Over two years ago, when the infection first swept the world, the northern most part of the continent wasn't much affected. The worst problem was the lack of supplies. People got sick, may died of disease and starvation. But some made it through. Food was still scarce though so, slowly, people starting migrating south. But they were smart about it.

"We built a wall, a huge one, you could probably see this beast from space!" said one of the men. He was short with brown skin and brown eyes and hair so black that the coating of road dust showed plainly. His name was Marco. No one refuted him, though Emma still thought it was probably a bit of an exaggeration.

They kept building, pushing the fences out further and further. The wall was the most solid, but from there, fences rippled out, circling ever further. They moved down the coast, pushing inland and south and killing every infected caught within the fences.

"There aren't as many of us left," Marco went on to say. "Started with a few thousand. But we're down from that now."

A few thousand humans. The thought was staggering. That was enough, enough to start over, to clean up the world, to save it. Emma and Jack were floored. And they were less scared than before.
