“Most of these folks aren’t going to make it,” Lu says, looking back at the struggling band of survivors as they work their way through the dense woods and broken ground. “I still think we should stick to the interstate.”

“You think that because you didn’t see what we saw,” Bolton says. “Trust me. We can’t afford to be out in the open.”

“We have got to be getting close to Coeur d’Alene,” Lowell says. “These people can rest when we get there.”

“If they make it,” Lu scowls. “You really saw a monster? Like some alien thing?”

“No idea what it was,” Bolton says, “but it was huge. Like three stories tall. Thick legs, mouth full of teeth.”

“And that tongue,” Lowell says, shivering. “Won’t get that image out of my head for a long fucking time.”

“It drank diesel fuel?” Lu asks. “Then tried to eat you?”

“It tried,” Lowell laughs nervously. “But all it got was soldier boy’s rifle.”

“Carbine,” Bolton says.

“You know what I mean,” Lowell replies.

“There’s a difference.”

“Boys? Knock it off,” Lu sighs.

“Rifle or carbine, I think it gave it indigestion,” Lowell says.

“My bet is on the diesel,” Bolton suggests. “You don’t drink a gas station’s worth of diesel and not walk away with, well, gas.”

“Good one,” Lowell smirks.

Lu looks from one man to the other and shakes her head. “No way. Are you two bonding? Connor, this man is a cop killer! Not to mention two judges! The only reason he’s not behind bars is because a goddamn fucking volcano erupted!”

“And you need me to help keep the meek alive,” Lowell smiles.

“Don’t do that,” Lu snaps.

“What?”

“Smile. You look like Hannibal Lector,” Lu says. “But not as sane.”

“Ouch,” Bolton says. “Listen, Lu, I know who this guy is, trust me.”

“You do?” Lowell says.

“Yeah,” Bolton says. “I know your type. Seen it on a hundred battlefields. You don’t live for the blood or the killing. You live for the chaos. That’s your fix. Pure chaos.” Bolton spreads his arms. “And now you have all the chaos you want. I’m betting this is the calmest you’ve ever felt in your life. Kinda like coming home after a long, tiring vacation.”

Lowell looks at Bolton and nods. “You ain’t as dumb as you look, GI Joe.”

“Gee, thanks,” Bolton says.

“No bonding,” Lu says, wagging a finger at the two men. “I have no problem putting a bullet in Lowell’s head if I have to. I need you to be the same way, Connor.”

“I can put a bullet anywhere without hesitation,” Bolton says. “That isn’t a problem.”

“Chaos buzz kill, dude,” Lowell says to Bolton. “And here I thought we’d shared a moment.”

A loud wailing echoes through the woods and the party stops dead in their tracks.

“That one was close,” Bolton whispers.

“I think we just need to get up over that ridge there and we’ll be looking down at Coeur d’Alene,” Lu says. “We’re almost there.”

“Then what?” Lowell asks. “We haven’t found a single working car along the way. That means the EMP hit this far too. What makes you
