Chapter 8 – Angel

“There’s bottled water.”

Lenny’s voice caught me off guard as I looked over and saw her panicked expression. Creeper and the other prospect Jugg were passing around bottled water to anyone who wanted one and then leaving extras on the tables. It wasn’t uncommon to do so but as I remembered Charlotte’s caution to Lenny, I dropped my beer on the nearest table and tucked her in against my side.

It was far too late to stop the multiple people around the room from twisting off the caps and quenching their thirst. We mostly consumed alcohol in the bar but with the heat Link had ordered the prospects to keep plenty of water on hand. Shouldn’t have been a big deal. Three days ago, it wasn’t.

Now, everything was different.

I caught Creeper’s curious expression and called him over.

“If anyone starts acting weird, let me know right away.”

He tilted his head to the side. “Like eat your face weird, or what?”

“Yeah,” I answered gruffly. “There’s something going on with bottled water. Don’t drink any, okay?”

Creeper paled a little and nodded. “Should I spread the word?”

“Yes, to anyone who will listen but it’s not gonna be easy without a patch, kid.”

He shrugged. “Still gotta try, man.”

“You do. I’m gonna take Lenny back to my room and find Link.”

Lenny was trembling as I unlocked the door and led her inside. “There was bottled water at my party too, Angel. I saw Mr. Bartle buying some that afternoon when I was at the store with Angie. Clerk told us with the heat and the holiday it was hard to keep water in stock. It was literally flying off the shelves.”

“Mr. Bartle?”

She bit her lower lip and then wrapped her arms around my waist. “Yeah. You noticed he was the one who went after Creeper in my driveway, right?”

“Yeah, baby, I did.”

“It’s the connection. Has to be, Angel. Charlotte said not to drink bottled water. Why else would she say that? It’s linked. There has to be something in the water that makes people crazy zombies.”

If I hadn’t seen this whole thing go down with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe a damn word she just said. How the hell was I gonna convince my pres this shit was serious? I should have gone to him about it when we first arrived, but I hadn’t made the connection yet and neither did Lenny. We could still be wrong, but my gut told me she was correct.

Bottled water was turning people into fuckin’ zombies.

That shit was beyond fucked up and crazy.

“How did this happen, Angel?”

“I don’t know, baby.”

“You still think this is some government conspiracy?”

I rubbed her back and sighed. “I don’t know shit, Lenny. All I can say is that it’s pretty unlikely something of this magnitude could be pulled off without the government knowing about it. Water is bottled at plants all over the U.S. and distributed to every single zip code in the country.”

She tilted her head up and the fear was clear in her eyes.
