Our gazes remained locked, and my pulse jumped into overtime. Ghua’s indecipherable expression made it hard to know what to do. Just how mad was he? I had no chance of trying to run; he’d proven that. Even the thought of fighting him off was a joke. Was he going to throw me over his shoulder now and take me upstairs?

The image of him naked and swinging free shoved its way forward into my mind, and I glanced to where Dongzilla was thankfully still hidden and undisturbed in his pants. That had to be a good thing, right?

When I looked back up at Ghua, he shifted his gaze to Nancy.

“We will find Brenna and Zachy,” he said.

I glanced at the woman and saw the hope blooming in her eyes and hated that I was about to kill it.

“How?” I asked Ghua. “I mean, I know they’re in the bunker, but I don’t know where that is from here.”

“I remember where I found you. I can take us there,” he answered without looking at me.

“And then what? We wouldn’t stand a chance against the gunmen even if we did find the bunker. They have a lot of guns and are dug in well enough that the hounds and infected can’t even get in. You’ll die trying, then they’ll take Nancy and me, too.”

“I don’t care,” Nancy said. “I just want to be with my kids.”

I turned on her.

“Do you hear yourself? You don’t care that he’ll die or that I’ll be raped, just so long as you can be with your kids; and do what for them? Watch them get abused? You’ve survived this long because you’re not stupid. Stop thinking like a mom and think like a survivor. Your kids will not die while they’re with Oscar’s group. We need more help if you want to have any chance of getting them back.”

“Who?” she demanded. “If you haven’t noticed, there’s a shortage of healthy people around.”

“Ghua said there are more people where he’s from. More people like him.”

I looked at Ghua who still stood by the door, wondering if I was telling the truth. Based on our conversations, I’d gotten the impression they had similar appearances and were all looking for females. Would Nancy’s daughter’s fate be any different with them than Oscar’s men?

“Will your people help us?” Nancy asked, looking at Ghua as well.

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go,” she said. “How long will it take to get to them?”

He glanced at the chair he’d set in the middle of the room.

“Three or four days.”

“No,” she said softly. “A week before we can get my children out of there?” A tremble in her voice made her catch on the last word.

“Don’t think like that,” I said. “A week won’t be too long.”

She nodded but looked unconvinced.

“What if we use a car?” she asked. “Could we get there faster?”

Ghua was quick to say we would.

Nancy met my worried gaze. We both know what troubles a car would bring. The infected could hear well and many were smart enough to lay traps along the road.
