THIRTEEN

Jonas immediately jumps to his feet and backs away from what used to be a young police officer not many hours ago but now only bears a faint resemblance to a person.

Everything went by so fast, that Selina almost didn’t have time to take it all in. She acted out of pure instinct when she started kicking Allan, and not until now, as the immediate danger has passed, does she realize how easily she could have been bitten. Had Allan let go of Jonas and instead turned to the side, she might not have been able to act quickly enough to get out of the way.

But that didn’t happen. The zombie didn’t let go of Jonas, and now she’s staring at the bloody scratch marks on his ankle.

“What the fuck, man,” Jonas wheezes, glaring from the dead officer to Selina. “I mean, what the fuck! What just happened?” He raises his hands halfway to his head, as though not sure where to put them. “He fucking attacked me … You saw it, he fucking attacked me! I didn’t mean to … I wasn’t trying to hurt him, I just … I had to … holy shit! What the fuck …”

“It’s okay,” Selina says, trying her best to sound reassuring. “You didn’t hurt him, I promise you. He was already …” For some reason, she can’t get that final word out.

Jonas stares at her, his eyes wild. “Was already what? What the fuck happened to him, Selina? His eyes, man, I tell you … they were all fucked up … and where is his fucking foot?” Jonas’s voice is rising in pitch. It’s clear to Selina he’s about to have a panic attack or maybe even faint.

She wants to tell him it’ll be all right, but she suddenly can’t speak. Maybe because she knows it will be a lie. Jonas won’t be all right. Not at all.

Dan steps closer. Selina notices he’s still holding the hammer.

Like he was ever going to use it, she thinks, feeling a sudden violent anger towards Dan, like it’s all his fault. What a great hero. Keeps out of harm’s way until it’s all over.

“Did you get …?” Dan asks, but shuts up as his eyes fall on Jonas’s leg.

Jonas doesn’t hear the question. He doesn’t even seem to register Dan’s presence. He grabs his hair and repeats over and over again: “What the fuck … what the fuck …”

“Oh, no,” Dan sighs, rubbing his forehead. “What now?”

Selina just shrugs. She can’t take any more in. Can’t deal with any more decisions. Can hardly think. Allan is dead, but he managed to scratch Jonas before he went. Now it all begins over again. Another innocent person will die. And this time, it’s someone she’s known for more than a few hours. Someone she was kissing only last night.

What is he even doing out here? Couldn’t he just have stayed home?

Selina feels like crying and screaming at the same time. It’s all she can do to keep herself together.
