Chapter Twelve

DAWN CAME, and with it, Bunny saw there were more, not less, of the dead. She sat on the small wooden platform and looked down at them, pondering her situation. Somehow she had to get down from her perch, back to her car, and out of the construction site, all without getting bitten.

Looking up at the sky, she said, "Now would be a good time for one of your absurdly convenient interventions."

Getting no answer, and not sure if there was anyone listening, she picked up the radio and began scanning channels again, hoping that the military hadn't gone to an encrypted communication system since the soldiers she got the radio from had died.

Finding nothing but static, she leaned back against a girder and gave the backpack Rosa had given her another check, only to find she was low on water, and the food she'd eaten last night had been all that was packed. In other words, she wasn’t in good shape.

Leaning over, she found the dead looking back up at her, patient in their hunger it seemed. She waved at them, receiving greetings of snarls. Shrugging, she settled back again, watching the sun rise.

A helicopter swooped by, too far for her to get their attention, though she doubted they would stop if she did. They were on missions, which meant the government was still working, and gave her some small hope that maybe, somewhere, in a lab, some scientist was figuring this out.

She knew the world wouldn't go back to the way it had been as she and Rosa had discussed, but it was still comforting to see the Blackhawks making their runs in and out of Washington Park. Maybe, just maybe, this would all get fixed. After all, it’d only been four days since the start.

When faced with hungry dead, you couldn't expect miracles from anyone, especially if the politicians could figure out how to get this new majority vote. She snickered at that one, trying for a moment to escape the gravity of her situation.

Standing to stretch, she walked across the platform, paying no mind to the way the dead below her shuffled. Stopping at the far edge, she looked out over the city, feeling the nip of winter in the air, taking in the sunrise, and watching the people walking down the street.

Bunny started. People were walking down the street. Four of them.

Shaking herself, she watched them for a moment, and saw they were heading towards the intersection at the far end of the construction site. Looking that way, she jogged across the platform then eased her way along the girders to get a better view of the intersection down the way.

She spotted a good number of dead loitering, the ones that hadn't figured out how to get past the heavy wood fence that surrounded the site when she'd made her unfortunate run to escape them the day before. There weren't many, maybe a couple of dozen, but it was enough to give the quartet in the street serious trouble if they weren't careful.
