Chapter Fifteen

After dinner was served and everything cleaned up, Uncle and Zed got the keys to an SUV from Omega and set out with Leta to buy her some cold-weather gear. All three of them took surgical masks with them to wear while out and about. They first stopped at a camping store that wasn’t nearly as busy as Leta thought it’d be considering it was the biggest shopping day of the year.

“Lot of people can’t afford to shop,” Uncle said. They talked in low tones as they moved through the store together, filling a shopping cart with whatever she needed to not freeze her native Floridian keister off. “Lot of poverty in this region. Lot of people in the rural areas barely making it, especially this time of year.”

She’d been isolated from that as a ward of the state. Might not have been the greatest food on her plate, but there was always enough of it, clothes on her back, a bed to sleep in. And as an adult, once she was earning her own way, she hadn’t wanted for much. Then again, she’d grown up living with only the bare necessities.

It was after dark when they returned, and they were just in time for Leta to meet the research team—Mama, Waldo, Q, and Clara.

“Thank goodness we have a doctor here now,” Clara said.

“Don’t go teaching her castrations,” Uncle teased.

Clara evilly grinned. “Would I do that?” she sweetly asked.

“Yes,” everyone else said before laughter broke out.

“I take it there’s a story?” Leta asked.

“We’ll fill you in later,” Zed said. “Preferably after playtime and before we fall asleep.”

“I’ll hold you to that.”

After a vigorous romp in bed, Leta did manage to get the castration story out of the men before she fell asleep.

Saturday morning, it was barely daylight outside when she heard people up and moving around. She dressed and slipped out of the bedroom. After using the bathroom, she headed to the kitchen, where Chief looked half asleep.

“Oh, good. Help. Please.” She was struggling with the coffee maker, which had decided to go feral and rebel against her attempts to get the basket correctly placed in it. That straightened out, Leta dug out an electric skillet and started cracking eggs to scramble while Chief tackled pancakes.

“They work seven days a week, I take it?” Leta asked.

“Yep. They want to fix this.” She glanced over at Leta. “The guys tell you about TMFU and what happened?”

“I’m up to speed.”

“Don’t hate them,” Chief said. “The scientists, I mean. I know that sounds crazy, but they didn’t want to be put into the position they ended up in.”

“So you’re from LA?”

“Not LA proper. Little town just to the north, still part of the county, though.”

“Did you have to…you know…deal with any Kiters?”

The hospital staff had been instructed to administer a fatal dose of po-clo to anyone testing positive for the virus. Leta avoided the secure drug storeroom where the cases of the pre-loaded boluses were kept.

It creeped her out seeing them.

“I had to shoot my former boss,” Chief said, her tone grim.
