Malcolm wasn’t the tallest man in the room, but I didn’t put it past him to be the dangerous one. He had jet-black hair, combed back, and he wore a dark button-up shirt with bootleg jeans. He had a long scar on his face, starting at his temple and crossing over his left eyelid, down his cheek. Part of it was scabby. Someone must have recently scratched him up—pretty badly.

Kaylynn and Jewel struggled against the hands that were holding them. Most of the men were wearing military fatigues. Others had a variety that didn’t match, pulled from department store racks in a hurry. From what I could tell, they hadn’t done anything to the girls.

The scent of cheap hotel shampoo masked the rotting smell of the Vector laying behind the counter as Malcolm neared us. Cody was eyeing him carefully.

“We don’t want any trouble,” Cody said.

“No one really likes to cause trouble.” Malcolm shifted by the front desk. “No one likes to have their home invaded, or their welcome mat put out of her misery.” He nodded at the men behind us. “We’re making scrambled eggs this morning. You hungry?”

Malcolm’s goons took our weapons and made us sit in the breakfast area. Cody resisted at first, but he succumbed quickly when they flashed their weapons at us. With my Berettas taken and Cody’s bow and knives confiscated, we were defenseless. They searched my pack, and I was amazed that they didn’t find the .500 inside. We had an element of surprise if we needed it.

I checked our surroundings. Three exits. Eight men. Jewel’s face was a portrait of anxiety, and Kaylynn had the same gist in her eyes. Malcolm’s men planted them in the chairs across from us. Chloe growled at every stranger who was trying to grab her collar. Then my stomach grumbled. Getting nervous can make me hungry—and scrambled eggs didn’t sound so bad.

This wasn’t the time to think about food.

Malcolm made sure we were in our seats before he sat down himself. “Four kids, alive in a world like this. A downright miracle! We’ve seen platoons wiped out in a matter of minutes, entire military reserves cleaned to the bone in less than that. You kids don’t realize how lucky you are.” He leaned slowly towards Cody. “I take it you’re in charge of this little group?”

Cody scoffed. “Cut the shit. What’re you going to do to us?”

“Jumping right into it, huh?” Malcolm laughed. “Alright. We’ll go there.” He pressed his crossed arms on the table. “I’ve been told of your distraction at my airport. Survivors on the south side of town think they own this city, but they don’t dare come here. Do you know why?” We shook our heads. “What better security can a man ask for than a few flesh-eating ghouls?”

Cody glanced at the front desk. “You put it there?”

“Not just there,” Malcolm answered. “You’ll find ghouls all over this side of town. I set them up to keep people away, and someone’s got to feed them.
