Chapter 5

Amanda screamed as she watched Benjamin attack the man that had been threatening her. The man’s cries of pain were horrific as Benjamin knocked him to the ground and ripped a chunk of skin from the man’s throat with his teeth like a wild animal. Blood was spurting out everywhere.

“Benjamin!” Amanda screamed. She was worried for Benjamin’s safety as the man fought back beneath the small boy, but at the same time, she was scared to death of the growling, rabid beast the little boy had transformed into before her eyes. Not knowing what to do, and afraid that she’d become Benjamin’s next target, she ran to the back door, and let herself outside, closing the door behind her. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her heart pounded rapidly in her chest. She couldn’t tell if she was crying because she was scared of Benjamin or worried about him. It was a combination of the two. She felt like her hands were tied. She didn’t know what to do.

Leaning forward, Amanda placed the palms of her hands on her knees and began to hyperventilate. She wanted to open the door to check on Benjamin but was too afraid. Feeling conflicted, she didn’t know what to do. Her chest hurt. She couldn’t breathe. What was she supposed to do? She couldn’t just leave the little boy in there. But if he was infected, she may have to.

At that moment, Amanda heard what sounded like the motor of a car in the parking lot. She was around the back of the building, standing near the garage. She wondered if gangsters were in the car. Maybe more of them would be showing up. Amanda stayed close to the building, walking towards the front where she could hear car doors slamming shut. When she reached the end of the building, she leaned against the stucco and peaked in the direction of the front entrance. Immediately, she recognized the tall, burly, silver-haired man. It was Bill.

“Bill!” she shrieked, waving her hands at him, running in his direction. “Bill!” Amanda slowed down when she noticed he wasn’t alone. Two people were accompanying him. It took her brain a second to register whom they were. She recognized them from the hospital. They were the two scientists that had helped them.

“Amanda?” Bill asked, strutting in her direction. “Where’s Benji?”

Amanda’s tears increased. When Bill reached her, he wrapped his arms around her waist in a big bear hug. “You okay?”

Nodding, Amanda sobbed some more. She was having trouble forming words. Susan and Liam came up behind them. Before Liam could ask where the boy was, Bill asked her again. “Amanda, where’s Benji?”

“He’s inside,” she sniffled, wiping at her tears. “Bill… he’s infected…”

“What do you mean?”

Liam pushed past them and rushed to the garage. Susan was right behind him.

“He killed them…” Amanda said to Bill. “It’s like he’s re-infected.”

“How’s that possible?” Bill grabbed hold of Amanda’s hand and felt it trembling.

“I don’t know.” Amanda shook her head. She hadn’t a clue how Benjamin could be re-infected.
