CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

Roxy sat in the middle row of the suffocating Expedition. The interior of the vehicle looked pristine, although the smell of sweaty men overpowered her—even with the air conditioner at full blast. She slid her small finger over the plastic, window control button on the door’s console and cracked the window to let in a little fresh air. The man introduced to her as Rhino drove and sat directly in front of her. She had no difficulty imagining where his nickname came from, after seeing this hulk of a man. Dave sat next to her in the middle row of the vehicle, directly behind Randy on the passenger side. She could see Randy staring at her in the mirror, attached to the overhead visor. Randy had angled the visor upon entering the SUV, so he could see her. She shrugged it off, thinking that he may be worried that she may still change into one of the monsters.

Looking to Dave, she could see how the last sixteen hours had taken a toll on him. He sat quietly looking out the window. He expressed to her before they left that he hadn’t felt a hundred percent on board with the idea of traveling to Angora—especially with Randy, but he respected her wishes to be reunited with her family.

Roxy glanced out the back window seeing a second SUV following closely and Mattie’s truck bringing up the rear of the train of vehicles. In the vehicle behind them, a cowboy going by the name of Boots drove with a really young looking guy, close to her age, named Junior. Mattie, of course, drove his truck with Lynn accompanying him. He refused to leave his truck behind.

Her exhausted dogs slept peacefully in the back seat. She felt equally exhausted and wanted nothing more than to do the same. Taking a peaceful nap and awakening to realize that this all was a terrible nightmare would be a blessing to her. She knew that this was no nightmare. The events of the past sixteen hours were real. They had taken place, and were still ongoing. Her thoughts turned to her sister, Kate. She hadn't heard from Kate or Dad since all this began and worry crept into her mind. As she thought of them, a fiery feeling welled up within her chest. She felt anxious. She wanted to be with her family now, right this very second. She wanted to know that they were safe—to see it with her own eyes.

Few infected could be seen about roaming between the buildings here on Brewer Road. The area is more of an industrial part of town than anything else. The smell of fish had always stained the air, but today the stink seemed nearly unbearable, the stench of what could only be described as rotting fish saturated the atmosphere. This is generally the place where the fish from the day’s catch are sold after they are weighed and inspected at the dock and the fishing boat captain has been paid his take.
