At some point, I must have fallen asleep on Kara’s bed. An NBC suit and mask weren’t exactly comfortable, but I was exhausted. My run to the pharmacy followed by a shoot out drained me.

The muffled shuffle of footsteps across carpet shook me from my sleep. Visions of a horde of husks surrounding the bed filled my head. I bolted upright and thrust the barrel of my shotgun into the nearest face.

Behind her mask, Danni’s eyes were as wide as dinner plates. Her hands trembled at her sides.

“You shouldn’t be out of bed,” I said.

“Um, could you please lower the gun?” Danni asked.

“Oh. Yeah,” I said, not realizing that I still had the weapon raised. “Sorry about that.” I leaned the shotgun against the wall.

“I shouldn’t have startled you,” Danni said. She sat down next me on the bed. “I’m feeling better, not one hundred percent yet, but still better. Jared told me what you did to get me medicine and to keep him safe. Thank you, Lucas.”

Danni did look like she was feeling better. She must have cleaned up in the decontamination shower that was set up in the basement. Granted, I couldn’t see much of her behind a facemask and under a NBC suit, but she did look better.

“Don’t worry about it,” I said and shifted away from Danni a little bit. She sat down next to me, our legs brushing against each other’s. The bed was small, but not that small. I moved a little further towards the end.

“Lucas,” Danni said. I waited for her to say more, but she simply let my name hang in the air. I didn’t know if she was waiting for me to say something or do something. I choose to stare intently at my boots as they left impressions in the carpet.

Danni’s hand touched my shoulder. She gently pulled me towards her. I resisted and tried to inch further down the bed.

“Danni, what are you doing?” I asked, staring at the floor. She was beautiful. She was broken too, but still beautiful. Somehow that combination made her even more attractive. I pulled away. Complicating things further wasn’t going to help anything.

“What’s wrong, Lucas?” Danni asked. Her voice was husky and full of mischief. Her other hand settled on my knee.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” I stammered and leapt up from the bed. “Danni, hold on. Look, we shouldn’t…I mean we can’t…”

“Why?” Danni asked. “Jared is downstairs asleep.”

“No, not that,” I said.

“Well, what is it then?” Danni stood up and moved towards me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me closer. “Is it the masks? I know we have to keep them on. It’ll be kind of kinky.” Her laugh sounded strange through her mask.

“No, it’s not the masks,” I said and gently pushed her away. Was she really trying to seduce me while wearing a biohazard mask? I thought. Were people really into that sort of thing? Apocalyptic foreplay? If they weren’t, I’m sure anyone left would be soon enough.

“Is it your wife?” Danni asked.
