Cadmus stood back from the fire, watching the walls of Sanctum. They weren't walls really, but rather old semi-truck trailers turned over on their sides and filled with dirt. This side was a snakey quarter mile long. Along the forward lip was an unbroken line of concertina and barbed wire and Cadmus could make out little guard shacks spaced out on top.

Silhouetted against the wall in the dark, a little trio ambled up.

"Mr. Cadmus, you out here?" It was the old man's voice. Tense. He carried a pack and the big bolt-action rifle. Another silhouette fidgeted with a shotgun.

For an instant Cadmus thought they just might plug him. "Joseph, over here."

The old man relaxed and loosened his grip on the rifle. He held it by the barrel and rested the butt on the ground. Only then did Cadmus let the bear rest and step forward into the circle of light.

The girl sucked in breath.

A huge nude man covered in fresh healed wounds must have been a sight. The blush spread up her neck, stopping only at the ugly red and purple bruise across the bridge of her nose and forehead. Looking past him now as if there might be someone else in the dark, a complicated expression of sadness formed when she saw no one.
