Chapter 24

I could have done with some alone time, but Taggard seemed to sense that, so of course he sent his flunkies to wash up the floor. The two soldiers assigned the task didn’t exactly look motivated, and within five minutes they had delegated it to someone else—the guy who I thought had knocked up Gussy. He set to the task without fervor but also without protest, first mopping up the worst of the spills before he got down on his knees and started scrubbing. The bloody suds soaking into his pants didn’t deter him. In fact, he didn’t even seem to notice that happening. Two cycles of patrols came by, ignoring him but taunting the zombies in their cells. I’d had issues before with seeing zombies for what they were, but now it was impossible to forget that they’d been battered, beaten women who’d all clung to what remained of their life for the children they’d never get a chance to bring into this world. I stopped trying the second time my mind flipped right back to seeing Gussy drag herself around her suddenly all too confining cell rather than a random shambler. That she still looked almost human didn’t help. That she didn’t act like a complete lunatic, neither.

Erica started coughing within the first hour after they’d infected her. I still remembered the progression of my own infection all too vividly. I might have been high and somewhat carefree because that booster had really done a number on me, but I’d already been thoroughly sick by the time we picked up Burns and shook what remained of the soldiers that had come after us. That couldn’t have been more than three hours after that fucking idiot had gunned me down. And I'd had so much to occupy myself with to distract from tracking the first symptoms. She had nothing but tiled walls and watching the soldier scrub the floor. As far as I knew, Taggard hadn’t even give her some extra water to ease her suffering.

I was starting to think that way back when they’d recruited for their super soldier program, the starting requirement must have been shy of full blown psychopath.

That of course made me think of Nate, which didn’t help my miserable mood at all. Judging from his somewhat biased self-assessment he might have fit right in there, but he’d proven time and time again that he was cut from a different cloth. The sheer fact that he’d instilled such loyalty in so many people that some of them had come to switch sides even when they knew that they were likely giving up extra security and comfort wasn’t just coincidence. But despite all that it made me question the things he must have done to make him feel like he had to lay his life down for those who couldn’t fight for themselves. There was a lot that he had never mentioned, and if I ever made it out of here, there was a lot more that he would have to answer for, at least to me.
