Kate took a break around lunch time, and Ethan and the guys decided to keep working. If they finished their section of the fence, they’d likely be back out to eradicate The Unholy tomorrow.

Since she wasn’t much help, Kate figured she’d just get out of their way. She was good at stabbing the diseased in the head, but she wasn’t good at fixing fences.

People were walking around as they normally did but their voices were hushed, and their eyes darted up and down the roads. Simon was right that they were still afraid of what might be lurking in the shadows. If there had been any Unholy left in the town, they would have known it by now.

Kate grabbed a quick lunch and sat down at a table by herself. The church cafeteria was empty except for a few others who were keeping to themselves.

A man with his shoulders hunched over took quick bites of some kind of bar. He looked up and quickly looked away when he saw Kate watching him. She hadn’t meant to stare, but he looked as paranoid as she felt.

At another table, there was a woman spooning some kind of mush into her mouth. Her hand shook as she moved her arm up and down. The woman’s legs were crossed to the side, her foot shaking up and down vigorously.

The people working in the kitchen moved about, cleaning and preparing for dinner. They barely spoke to one another and when they did, it was the larger man giving hushed orders to the others. Those working for him would bob their heads as they backed away.

Even though some acted as though they weren’t, Kate couldn’t help but wonder if everyone in the town was on edge. One of Simon’s guards stepped into the cafeteria, his eyes scanned the room stopping on Kate.

He gripped his gun tighter as he approached. “Aren’t you supposed to be at the fence?”

“Lunch break,” Kate said, holding her almost finished bar.

“Simon likes it when people are where they are supposed to be,” the guard said.

Kate cocked her head to the side. She felt particularly frustrated and knew she should probably keep her mouth closed but for some reason, she couldn’t.

“Should we go ask him if it’s all right if I have lunch?” Kate stood abruptly. Her jaw tensed so tightly she felt the muscles in her neck pull. “I wonder if Simon would like to be bothered because you decided to come and harass me about eating lunch.”

Kate stepped around the table and set herself inches from the guard. His shoulder pulled back as he looked down into her eyes with something close to hate inside them. She’d never had a problem with a guard before, which only made the confrontation more frustrating. He shifted slightly, and Kate could tell he knew she was right.

“Come on, let’s go ask him if I’m allowed to have a small lunch after working on the fence all morning to keep his people safe,” Kate said trying to hold back a sneer.
