Chapter 15 – Stages

The freeway-man is sitting up straight with yellow eyes wide and staring directly at Brooke. She turns her head to look at him and reflexively averts her gaze from his disfigured face and those piercing yellow eyes like a galaxy of supernovas rocketing toward her at the speed of light and threatening to burn right through to her soul.

Max flexes against his restraints in a futile attempt to shield Brooke from the freeway-man’s haunting gaze.

“Patience, patience,” the savage growls at Max at slightly more than a whisper, “I’m saving you till last for what you did to me. Your strength will be my strength. The despair you feel after watching me drink your lovely lady will make your blood taste… oh so sweet.” He tilts back his head and closes his eyes while imagining the ecstasy. “I think I’ll suck your veins completely dry. I know gluttony is a sin but it would be a shame to waste a drop of such sweet honey.”

Beginning to feel like a caged and tormented animal, Max lunges against his chains again, “The only thing you’re gonna’ suck is the barrel of my shotgun!”

The freeway-man’s eyes widen even more as he sits forward and raises his voice several decibels, “What shotgun? I see nothing here between us but air, and time…Soon I will rob you of both.”

Brooke screams out, “Why us, why can’t you just leave us alone?”

“Because my dear,” Alia speaks, but something about her voice has changed, “he has your scent now. No matter where you go or what you do, like a carnivorous beast, he will hunt you down.”

The last of her words sound as though she is struggling to form them, and just as the last syllable is spoken, she erupts into a screech so loud in the confined space of the truck that it leaves everyone’s ears ringing.

The freeway-man throws his head back, bathing in the wretched squall, as do the other infected in the back of the transport truck. Another is added to their ranks and they all bask in her birth. For the moment, it seems they are all connected, spiritually, sexually, and perhaps even telepathically.

Max and Vinny look upon the scene in horrific curiosity while Brooke shrinks from the sound and sight before her.

“Hey,” Vinny yells to the driver, “these things are freekin’ out back here!” but over the roar of the engine the driver apparently hears nothing because the vehicle neither slows nor stops. “How could they just leave us back here alone with these crazy shits?” he asks of Max.

Max looks down at his blood soaked shirt, “Look at us. We’re covered in infected blood. If you saw someone that looked like us you would be cautious too.”

Brooke looks herself over. She is indeed covered in blood nearly head to toe. The whirlwind pace up to this point had kept her in an emotionally numb state. Now sitting still with a moment to reflect, her numbness begins to ebb, and the absolute horror of it all begins to trickle in.
