Chapter 19

Gwen Quinn

Gwen didn’t know what to make of Diana and Michael since they just met them while they refueled the Suburban. Donald wanted to follow them to their place to find out if they were potential friends, but she wasn’t keen on this plan. True, they hadn’t met any new allies the past year, but these two were over the top. Diana’s powerful build made her appear as a competent warrior, but her vulgar mouth and bright blue hair made her appear ridiculous. Michael’s demeanor, as a weak little weeny, presented a complete opposite to Diana. How had he survived for so long? They were an odd couple for sure, put together in the madness the world had become.

“Are you sure this is smart?” Gwen said. Donald drove the Suburban behind the Humvee, following it down an airport access road toward the terminal buildings.

“Considering we may be the only three left alive from our camp in Maine, we could use all the friends we can find. We’ll feel them out over a meal and decide afterward. Worse comes to worse, we part ways. No loss either way.”

“I guess you’re right. Let’s stay alert, though. This could be a trap.”

“I like her blue hair. Have you ever seen muscles like hers on a woman before?” Matthew said from the back seat.

“Yes, her hair is something alright. Maybe you’ll consider some color, Gwen?” All three chuckled at Donald’s joke.

“Did anyone ever tell you two that you’re hilarious? Let’s keep the hair and muscle comments to ourselves. I wouldn’t want to get on her nasty side.”

Donald followed the Humvee through a hole cut into the airport’s perimeter fence, and they drove around the terminal building. Airplanes loaded and disembarked their passengers on this far side of the building. Three airplanes sat parked on the tarmac in front of the gates, as they awaited passengers and crew who would never come. The Humvee stopped in front of an empty gate, and they both climbed out. Diana didn’t wait for anyone, but stormed up a set of steps and disappeared inside the building. Michael stood alone and waved, with a stupid grin on his face, as the Suburban approached him.

“I’m not sure that guy is all there, either. He appears to have a screw lose.” Donald said as he parked the Suburban nose out, allowing them to make a quick getaway if things went south.

“I’d keep those comments to yourself too, since he might just be the saner of the two.” Gwen said before getting out of their truck.

“Hi, welcome to Bradley International Airport. We have a few gates blocked off where we stay. The nice thing is, there are still lights and running water inside. At least they work during the daytime when the sun shines bright. Come on in and check out our home.”

They walked up a set of steps and entered through the back of one of the jet bridges that provided a walkway from the gate to the parked airplane. Once inside, they found the place, just as Michael described it to them.
