Chapter 21

Bishop Shields, Ft. Collins, Colorado

Bishop stood upstairs in the master bedroom with a cup of coffee in his hand as he looked out over the street. His first run in with Francis remained fresh in his mind, and he patrolled on alert, moving from room to room, looking out all the windows to try and catch the man sneaking around.

He and the kids had even set guard shifts through the night so one person could monitor things while the others slept. Both children seemed enthusiastic about doing whatever they could to help, and Bishop was proud of them. Their willingness to cooperate would bolster their chances of survival.

The fungus that had fallen two days ago still spread in streaks and clusters of moldy black and crimson in the yard. It crawled all over everything and spread at an incredible rate. As ominous as that was, all he thought of was Kim and how he could reunite their family.

His phone buzzed where it lay on the bed, and Bishop picked it up. He knew the notification wouldn’t be a phone call or text, because all communication was dead. However, he was still connected to his wi-fi and, in turn, his generator. And through an application on his phone, he monitored the generator’s output and status.

As he suspected, the application showed the generator at a low fuel level. Bishop sighed and tossed the phone down on his bed. He went to Trevor’s room where the boy lay on his bed watching DVDs.

Bishop gestured outside. “Hey, son. I’m going out to refill the generator. Can you watch out the windows and call me on the radio if you see anything suspicious?”

“Sure thing.” Trevor grabbed the 2-way radio lying next to him, hopped out of bed, and slid his feet into his slippers.

“Thanks, son. It won’t be long.”

Bishop descended the stairs and walked through the kitchen to check that the windows were still secure. He and the kids had nailed up boards over the insides of the downstairs windows, though they didn’t have enough plywood to cover them all. So, they’d improvised and used some drywall scraps from a project he’d finished last summer to cover the remaining kitchen windows.

Satisfied he’d secured the first floor, Bishop went down into the basement to find his exploring clothes. He removed an extra-large pair of coveralls and gloves from the dryer and put them on, then he walked into their first decontamination chamber where they’d put the cleaned masks on a shelf. He found his own mask, inspected it, and lowered it over his head, making sure the fit was tight before he walked to the back door and put on his boots.

A quick inspection showed no mold creeping in below the door or on the inside of the frame. However, when he opened the door, he spotted mold creeping around the outside.

“I just bleached that area last night." He shook his head. No matter how hard they scrubbed it with straight bleach or disinfectant, the mold always returned.
