Chapter 13

Warden Gorgon felt dizzy. The constant draining of blood was beginning to take its toll on him. Dr. Shipley warned him it wouldn’t be safe to donate blood with such frequency. But Gorgon had to speed up his timeline.

Especially with Muncie threatening to take over.

Dixie swabbed the puncture mark with a cotton ball full of rubbing alcohol. The smell turned his stomach. The Warden had not eaten much, preferring to conserve resources. And he couldn’t demand austerity of his men without joining in the pain. The only thing keeping the Warden from passing out was the sight of Dixie’s cleavage.

He watched Dixie shake her ass as she left him on the gurney. Dr. Shipley quickly reached the Warden’s side.

“You look pale. Are you feeling okay?” Dr. Shipley adjusted his glasses.

The Warden closed his eyes to summon his strength not to vomit. Inside his darkened eyelids, the room spun and dropped away beneath him, adding to his nauseated state. “I’ll be fine.” He had to lie to keep his doctor from drugging him. Or worse. Refusing to take more of his blood.

“Where do we stand now?”

Dr. Shipley sighed and sat down upon the gurney. Gorgon was displeased with the invasion of his personal space but he had little strength to complain about it.

“With your recent donation...I believe we have enough platelets to double our serum.” Dr. Shipley stared at his own hands, fumbling his fingers while lost in thought.

“Problem?”

The doctor grimaced. “Not a problem. Just...I think your methods of forcing the woman to fight the zombie were...”

Warden Gorgon allowed the pause in the doctor’s train of thought. He didn’t care to hear Dr. Shipley whine some more about infecting healthy people. But the doctor would learn the true reason shortly.

He tried to sit up but the lights swam along the ceiling. Warden Gorgon pretended he had only adjusted his position. “Your interests only lie in your work, Dr. Shipley. Not in how I manage my prison.”

“I understand, but...”

“Shipley. I need you to keep your head in the game. I’m tired of reminding you how important your work is to all of us surviving this storm. If you lose focus then I will have to replace you with someone more apt to continue.”

Dr. Shipley chuckled as if he couldn’t be replaced. The Warden knew there was no replacing Dr. Shipley, but he had to keep the man in check.

“You don’t think you are replaceable? I assure you, doctor, you are very replaceable. And so am I. Better to work with the devil you know, right?” He glared into the doctor’s glasses.

Dr. Shipley began to protest but must have thought better of it. He closed his mouth and huffed under his breath. The Warden hoped his veiled threat was understood.

Gorgon ordered the serum to be administered to all the inmates of A-Pod. Dr. Shipley shot up to his feet with hands on his hips. He argued the idea was incongruous with preserving life. The Warden argued, back. Infecting the prisoners was necessary to their survival.
