14 – SAMPLES

Davin and I hurried to my cell. I was still a sweaty mess and my anxiety over what was to come only made it worse.

If the results showed that Makanza still inhabited my body, I wouldn’t be able to leave the Sanctum. Possibly ever. Because if the virus was still active inside me, it meant I was now a Kazzie, even though I’d never Changed. That hadn’t happened to anyone exposed, so I knew I was being irrational.

Still…

If for some reason that had happened, I’d be able to infect others. According to the new law passed over the weekend, I’d be moved to the reservation like the rest of the Kazzies. And worse, I knew it would be the end of my friends ever being free since it meant the vaccine wasn’t as effective as we claimed it to be. Cate and I had vehemently denied the government’s concerns that someone could carry Makanza after being vaccinated. I hoped we were still right.

I shuddered, not because I abhorred the idea of living with the Kazzies or being labeled as one, but at knowing that I’d never be able to help them again.

My palms were clammy when the back door slid open to my cell. Davin and I strode in.

Dr. Sadowsky waited. He wore a navy blue suit, a crisp white shirt, and a red patterned tie. He stood in the watch room. My lab group flanked his sides. Amy waved when she saw me.

I hurried to the window.

“Well? What are the results? Am I still infected?”

“Whoa, Forester.” Mitch chuckled. He wore jeans and a typical comedic t-shirt. I’d be unstoppable if not for law enforcement and physics. “It’s nice to see you too.”

Davin tensed.

“Sorry. I’m a little edgy.” I wrung my hands. “I’m sure you can guess why.”

Amy’s red curls were in a high ponytail today. She leaned over the microphone. “You’re in the clear. No active virons were detected in any of your samples.”

Private Rodriguez smiled. “So that must mean she’ll get outta here soon, huh?”

“Something like that.” Amy drummed her fingers against the control panel.

Dr. Sadowsky put his hands on his hips. “I’d like to run one more set of tests, just to make sure.”

I swallowed. That means I’m going back to the Experimental Room. “Okay.”

“By the way, I didn’t forget about your phone,” Amy said. “It’ll be installed this afternoon when they’re getting those samples. Although, I’m not sure if you’ll need it. You could be out of here by tomorrow.”

Which means I can go to D.C. soon. “Good, thanks. How about we get those samples taken?”

I RETURNED TO the Experimental Room after my lab group departed from the watch room. I clenched my hands tightly during the walk there.

“Do you want me to come in with you?” Davin strode beside me. Every day I realized more and more how big he was. I barely came to the tip of his shoulder.

“No. I can do this.”

“You’re sweating, Meg. And you’re so tense I could see it a mile away.
