Lane heard the door open but didn't look up. He was tired and his eyes were beginning to shut even as he read the book. He was leaning forward, his elbows on his knees and the book between both hands, hoping sitting like that would keep him awake. It wasn't, though. This was a losing battle and if Will didn't realize it soon, he was going to find Lane asleep on this chair while the two kids escaped.

How the hell isn't this kid falling asleep? He wondered. He knew the answer though. Survival had a way of keeping one awake, and Lane might understand that in a much more personal way soon. He was beginning to wonder about that, about what he would do when the end of this mission arrived. He hadn't talked to Andrew about it yet, but what if Will decided that everyone brought down here had to be more than 'quarantined'. If, in fact, quarantining might not adequately keep this infection at bay.

What if Will decided he and Andrew needed to die?

Would Lane fight, or would he die like these two kids, awake but cooperative? That wasn't an easy choice to make, really. If he did fight back, and somehow managed to get out of here alive, he would be hunted for the rest of his life. Hunted by the most powerful forces in this world–no matter where he went or how often he moved.

Lane was having a tough time focusing, a tough time thinking about the guy in the bathroom, let alone his own survival.

He needed another cigarette. If he walked outside and stood while he smoked it, that might wake him up some. Maybe.

When Will came back, he'd ask for some of those pills. Eat twenty of them if need be.

Lane could barely read the words on the page. They kept trying to spin and he kept having to double down, reading the same sentences over and over, moving through the novel at a child's pace.

He heard footsteps and looked up out of habit, to see where the kid was going. He saw the kid rearing back, swinging something, though his brain couldn't understand what he held. Something long, something with a dull shine to it. He didn’t see anything else before it slammed across the side of his head, connecting with his ear and face. A loud pop and then he couldn't hear; one sense down, unable to help him understand what else the kid was doing.

Lane knew he had to get up, knew that if he stayed down on one knee, everything was over. He put his hand on the floor and started pushing himself up, only to be met by another crack across his skull. He fell to both knees and looked up at the boy. Warm liquid
