CHAPTER 11

T he warm, rancid smell of piss wafted in Jill’s face as she entered the apartment block. Her pulse raced as she slowly but surely made her way along the darkened corridor heading for the stairwell. A groan came from farther down, an addict lying in his own vomit, probably overdosed. There was graffiti all over the cream-colored walls and unknown puddles of brown liquid on the floor. She stepped over it grimacing. The state of the world had become so bad, and it had all taken place in a matter of weeks. Since the lights had gone out, her world had changed dramatically. Not only had she learned her husband had been cheating on her with her best friend, but all the plans that she had for adoption had gone out the window. She’d always wanted kids and now it seemed like it would never happen. Jill tightened her grip on the AR-15 and used her foot to push open a grimy door leading into the stairwell.

Though she tried to remain focused, her thoughts kept drifting to what Rayna had said about their friendship. Nothing has changed. In her mind everything had changed and yet she was starting to realize that perhaps it wasn’t Rayna she was angry with, maybe it was herself and allowing Gary to take her for a ride. It was confusing because she knew that Gary loved her by the way he treated her when they were alone.

But that was him — he’d always been loving, maybe that’s why the news from Rayna blindsided her. Of course she wasn’t stupid, Rayna was beautiful, far more beautiful than she was. But still, it had pained her to know that Gary felt he couldn’t get his needs met with her.

Jill glanced up the steps and traversed her way over numerous drug addicts. One grabbed her leg and for a brief second she nearly squeezed the trigger, instead she slammed him in the face with the butt and knocked the guy out.

At the top of the stairs she peered through the glass. There was no one there, at least that she could see. Easing the door open she kept the rifle low and cut the corner with her head. In. Out. Gary had shown her how to do it without being seen.

There were three of them standing at the far end of the corridor. While they weren’t holding weapons in their hands, she noticed the rifles strapped over their shoulders. It wouldn’t take them long to spin them around and return fire. Could she take out all three without being shot? She wasn’t wearing a vest. Jill took a deep breath and closed the door contemplating what Gary would have done.

On one hand she had considered traipsing
