Chapter Twenty Eight

Karen was taking a walk after her meal at Paul Dickson's house and headed to the barrier at the other end of the camp. She seemed in a melancholic mood and had no idea if she was becoming depressed or not. She had been through a lot, but so had everyone. She placed her hand on her stomach, produced a sad smile, then stopped as she reached the HGV. She knew that Paul was due to be there in an hour or so.

She looked up and could see that Nicholas Burgess, Rick Morgan, and Daniel Badcock were at the barrier, near the Globe Island, only yards from the edge of the town centre. All three men appeared to be bored and only one of them, Rick Morgan, appeared to be carrying a blade of some kind, a baseball bat was carried by the other two. Karen smiled to herself. It had been a while since she had used her machete. It now sat in the corner of her bedroom.

"Two Wasters up ahead!" Nicholas Burgess yelled.

"Okay, okay." Daniel looked annoyed at Nicholas and told him, "Not too loud. Some of the residents, the younger ones especially, might hear you." He turned around to check if anyone was present and clocked Karen straight away. He smiled and waved at her.

She waved back and asked, "Are you gonna get rid of them?"

"I think Nicholas and Rick can take these two." Daniel began to laugh. "My treat."

Karen crouched and peeked under the articulated lorry that was stretched across the road. She could just see that the ghouls looked like they were both female, early thirties.

"Well," Daniel looked at Rick and Nicholas. "What are you both waiting for?"

"They'll go eventually," Rick yawned and began to pick his nose.

"Yeah, he's right," Nicholas spoke up.

Karen shook her head at the men and generally thought that Nicholas was still nervous with coming face-to-face with these things and probably had little experience. Rick Morgan, on the other hand, was just being a lazy bastard.

"Jesus!" Daniel snapped. "Do I have to do everything around here? Somebody come with me." He pointed at Nicholas Burgess. "You."

"Why me?" protested Burgess.

"I'm not facing these things one-against-two when I have another two so-called guards doing fuck all. Just because Lee and Sheryl are away, you think you can get away with murder."

"You'll probably find they're probably just scared." Karen spoke up and pointed at Burgess. "Especially that one."

"What the fuck do you know?" Burgess retaliated defensively. "Go back and do some knitting or something." He then burst into hysterics, expecting the other two to join in, but he was on his own. Unlike Nicholas Burgess, Daniel and Rick were aware of what Karen had to go through in order to still be living. Nicholas stopped laughing and cleared his throat, now feeling stupid.

Daniel began to climb down to the other side and beckoned Burgess to follow him. "Come on. I'm not doing this on my own."

"I don't want to."

"Just take Rick with you," Karen shouted up, then nodded in Nicholas' direction.
