“What do you mean you knew they could speak!” Rachel shouted at Captain Wolfe, her voice shrill, even to her own ears. He sat across the desk from her with a look that told her he would rather be anywhere but there talking to her.

He leaned forward, tightening his eyes.

“In Seattle, there were a number of zombies who showed heightened intelligence. It makes no difference though, as they all still attacked my men,” he responded. “I do NOT give a shit how smart they are or not.”

“Then why have you been letting me study them this whole time?”

“Because it keeps you busy and not bothering me. Like now.”

“Who attacked first, Captain?” Rachel spat tersely. “Did even one of them attack your men first or did you ever consider they were responding the way any person would, by defending themselves?” At this, Wolfe laughed freely.

“People?” he said, still laughing. “They are fucking zombies!” he finished, shouting as he stood up.

“Listen, Dr. Samborski. And listen closely,” Wolfe continued, standing over her. “You are only here for show. Your teams, your research, none of it matters anymore. There won’t be a cure. No magic solution. My job is to keep us safe and kill anyone who stands in the way of civilized, healthy people.”

Rachel immediately understood the implied threat and her eyes narrowed. Wolfe walked back around to his desk and sat down.

“I suggest you decide quickly which side you are on,” he continued, watching her closely for a reaction.

“Smith,” he yelled to a soldier standing outside the room, “escort Doctor Samborski back to her lab.”

Rather than return to her lab, where she knew her co-workers would be back by now, Rachel decided to go to her bunk. As one of the few women who wasn't a soldier, she was afforded the luxury of a private area. It seemed to her like she had been sleeping in her lab mostly anyways, but in times like this she was grateful for the privacy.

The revelations of the past few hours whirled through her head as she started to formulate a plan. It wasn’t a good plan, but it seemed like there would be no such thing in the world of FIRE.
