Well after dark when they reached Harrisburg, they decided it was as good as any place to settle in for a spell, although Jade's new urges left her restless and unable to relax.

They'd encountered very few zombies along the way and Harrisburg itself resembled a ghost town. Despite the fact the vamps had evidently wiped out many of the zombies, the few apprehensive people who braved the streets always looked wary, especially of someone like Jade. How could she blame them? Anyone who carried such a big sword must appear troublesome.

These few stragglers kept to themselves mostly, slithering into dark houses like bugs skittering away from the light. Seeing this even now when the zombies were all but gone bothered Jade. What troubled her most was that there seemed no purpose for her. Who was she supposed to protect, for what cause and from what monster? She needed to—

Just thinking of it, she drew her sword and ran her fingers along the blade.

"Put that thing away, will you?"

She looked at him. "Why?"

He waved at their surroundings. At least a few pairs of eyes could be seen peering out at them. "You're frightening the kids, dear."

She sheathed the sword, followed by a distinct sigh. "This is boring."

"Hell yeah it is." He led her toward some abandoned buildings. "And boring is good." Now he looked back at her. "Don't you remember when you thought boring was good?"

She did of course, but recalling it she couldn't fathom why she'd ever been so frightened. It wasn't okay for them to continue hiding like rats in the sewers and other unpleasant places. This was their planet, and they should have the right to go wherever they pleased.

Still, she nodded.

"Good then." He opened a door for her. "We'll be okay in here for the night. Next stop is Pittsburgh, so rest up. Tomorrow we begin that long journey."

"Why bother?"

"For one thing, I know someone there who might be able to help us."

"A professor?" she asked.

"No."

"A doctor?"

"Not quite."

"What then?"

"A vampire," he said.

Already, the statement troubled her. But she said nothing about it, and barely spoke at all for the next few hours while she contemplated the matter.
