Chapter 14: Enter the Dragon

Two weeks had passed since the mayhem at the nunnery and Left-Nut had at long last healed enough to travel, much to the delight of all the remaining nuns he had been pestering. Over that period Charlie and friends filled their bellies with actual food, slept in beds, and generally forgot about their troubles for a time. But as comfortable as their sanctuary was, Charlie was eager to head back to the wastelands beyond the fence. He had a budding family to find, made up of his pregnant girlfriend and adopted son, and with every day that passed they felt less and less real.

So as the sun rose one morning, the gang packed up and said their goodbyes to the group of speechless nuns and the screaming baby they were leaving behind. By the look on the elderly women’s faces, they were just fine with it.

As the group neared the gate, one of the nuns ran to them and handed over a piece of paper. It was the woman named Katya – or Scarface, as the guys called her behind her back.

“Sorry, but you’re not coming with us,” Charlie said and handed the paper back to the nun, noticing a small tattoo of a flower on her hand. “It’s too dangerous, and this note stuff just isn’t going to work. We all have to pull our weight and look out for each other. If you see a zombie sneaking up and you can’t shout a warning, well that’s gonna get us all killed. And we’re already doing a pretty good job of that.”

Rob appeared agitated. “I think she should come. We could always use an extra pair of hands, and she knows how to cook.” And there was the reason. He was a mountain of consistency.

Charlie believed he had a way out. “All right, she can come. If she’s willing to talk.”

Katya looked down and took a deep breath. Regretfully, she nodded her head. “Okay,” she said, in a barely audible tone. The nun hadn’t spoken in quite a while and her vocal cords were in need of exercise. More importantly, she had just broken her vow of silence. But Katya believed God wanted her to join these men who were so desperately in need of guidance. Not to mention the convent was slowly but surely driving her insane with boredom.

Surprised, Charlie smiled. “I guess that’s a start then. Keep practicing.” He turned to Rob. “This is on you, so she’s under your protection. Keep her safe and show her how to defend herself.”

“No problem,” Rob said. He grabbed one of the shovels from the nearby garden and handed it to his new friend. “Stay close to me and aim for the head when you can. If they bite you it’s all over, so don’t let that happen. And most importantly, stay away from Left-Nut.”

Katya nodded before donning a backpack and hugging several of the less dour nuns goodbye. Then she pinched little Todd’s angry face and turned to leave with the others.
