Seeking clarification, Meghan asked the man who insisted that whatever had worked, “So you’re Daniel then?”

“No. He’s still...he’s still...” stammered the woman, unable to complete her sentence.

The first man finished for her, “He’s still on the bus. He died a couple of days ago.”

Emma asked tentatively, “Was he...?”

“Bitten? No. He just went to sleep one night and didn’t wake up the next morning,”

“What do you think caused it?”

His voice meandering like a long Alaskan summer day, the first man answered as he looked up at the cloudy sky, “What does it matter what caused it? He’s dead, just like the rest of them.”

“We haven’t eaten in days,” the woman continued, “and the water ran out about three days ago. A few of us tried to drink our own urine but then that stopped too. I think it was just hope that had sustained most of us these past few days. I just knew that someone would happen along; well, someone that didn’t want to eat us, that is.”

Dr. Caldwell said, “We’ve got some food and water but I think we should get off the street. Emma, can you conjure up some granola bars and water or something? Anything that can be chewed on the go.”

“Sure.”

The parking garage was a short jaunt up the street. Though agonizingly slow, they moved as quickly as the three newcomers would allow them. Luckily, they were able to get up to the third level of the parking deck without incident.

In getting to the parking structure and then up the winding driveway to the third floor, they heard two gunshots and then nothing else. It was both worrisome and promising. The gunshots could only be from Neil and Jerry, which meant that they were still alive but it also meant that they were still in trouble.

From their vantage point, they could see back up the street from where they had come, the most likely route the two men would take to reunite with the rest of them. Meghan alternated between holding the radio to her ear or to her mouth, with which she would plead for any response. None was forthcoming.

Dr. Caldwell, meanwhile, had gone up to the top tier and was using the binoculars to get a better view. It didn’t look good. There were still hundreds of the things moving up the street in the direction that the two men had traveled. They weren’t moving as fast as the others who were originally on their heels. They were probably just chasing the group that was chasing Neil and Jerry. They weren’t nearly as animated or as alert, though they were every bit as frightening.

He decided that it would probably be wise to do some looking all around them and maybe even check out their next step. He looked around at the top tier of the parking deck. There was no roof and no cars, so it was more or less a one block by one block open-air parking lot.

He’d only been up here once before.
