CHAPTER 16

TMRT Bunker, San Francisco, CA

Vance had dressed and given Ashley a long kiss before going to gather his gear. He could not stall any longer. If he was going to go, he had to go now.

With all his gear ready, he did take the time to boot up the internet and check for word from his ex-wife. He needed to wait for Ashley to get ready up top anyway.

No word from Donna, which he took as bad news. If she had made it out safely she would have let him know. The other news was not any better. Lockdown on the Quarantine Zone had been moved up. If they were not out of the QZ in the next hour, they were not getting out without Vance’s help.

Vance was checking out his ‘Sick Slaying Stick,’ a weapon invented for taking on amblers. It was a long bar, built with alloy metals, making it lighter than it appeared to be but solid enough to do serious damage.

One end was a heavy club; it was deadly enough on its own but with a press of a button its sharp spikes would cover the ball end. The other end acted like an oversized stiletto knife. Another press of a button on the long staff and a small sword-sized blade would thrust out the non-club end.

He twirled it and practiced a few thrusts. He checked to make sure the spikes and the blade came out went back in like they should. He had already cleaned and sharpened the weapon after its last use, but he checked the edge of the blade anyway. Unless any vampire rotters showed up, this would be his primary weapon crossing the bridge.

“I’m jealous,” a voice that was not Ashley said as Vance moved on to checking his guns one more time.

He turned to see Holiday was awake and sitting up.

Vance almost told the man he was awake, but figured Holiday knew that much. Instead he asked, “Jealous of what?”

“She is hot. I mean I always had a policy of not dating women who could kick my ass, but for her I might have made an exception.”

“You heard us.”

“It’s a small place and you two are kind of loud.”

“Sorry.”

“Don’t be. I’m glad to see someone enjoying life. You two married?”

“She is. Once we get out of here, she’ll go back to her family. Given the situation, I don’t know if this even counts as cheating.”

“Her husband might see that differently.”

“I suppose he might. Good to see you awake.”

“Good to be awake, though everything hurts.”

“Evac is coming. Maybe as soon as tonight. You and Ash will be out of the QZ soon. You can get some real medical attention.”

“Sounds good to me. No offense, you guys did great with what you had.”

“None taken.”

“You said they would be evacuating me and Ash. Sounds like you’re staying.”

“Not exactly, but I’m not going on the evac either. Speaking of which, I have to get moving. I’ll tell Ashley you’re awake.”

“I was coming in and out before,” he said.
