CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“Put this on.” A nurse with a scrunched face said as she pushed a paper gown towards Kimber. The nurse looked tired, with curly red hair that frizzed at the ends. Kimber’s face twisted in a mocking smile that said no way, but Drew nudged her. Her ex-girlfriend was insistent, giving her a look that said she couldn’t refuse. Drew was probably right. Who knew what these people would do if they didn’t do what they were asked. It was only the three girls in the room small exam room. Thankfully, Mr. Sales had been directed to a different room. The nurse let out a heavy sigh filled with annoyance and turned her back to the girls.

“You too,” Kimber said, looking at Drew and waiting until she followed suit with the nurse. When both had their backs turned to her, Kimber quickly scrambled out of her clothes and into the paper gown. The nurse then handed one to Drew. Kimber turned away from her while she changed.

“I need to check you for scratches and bites.” Her name tag said, Jean. She looked exhausted and overwork, her words coming out in a monotone. Kimber assumed she was sick of saying the same exact thing over and over again.

“Have you been near anyone who was infected?” Jean asked while putting on rubber gloves. She began examining Kimber’s arm, lifting it parallel to the floor and tracing over it with her fingers. Kimber’s eyes flashed to Drew. She wasn’t sure if she should tell the truth or not. What if they did tell the truth and that got them a one-way ticket out of the hospital? Then she would be separated from the others, and her brother, and maybe even Drew. Kimber bit her bottom lip hard, feeling the pinch of pain where her teeth made contact with the soft skin of her lip.

“We saw a bunch, but we didn’t touch any of them.” Drew pipped up, taking the pressure off of Kimber. Jean let go of Kimber’s right arm and raised her left arm.

“Well, then you’re one of the lucky ones.” Jean continued to examine them in silence, the weight of her words sinking into Kimber. She wondered what happened if you touched them or if they scratched or bit you. Eli had touched one when he pulled the zombie secretary off of Nolan.

“Do you know what’s wrong with them?”

“No.”

“Not at all?”

“Nope.”

Kimber’s shoulders slumped down. Maybe Jean did know something and she was lying, or maybe she was in the dark just as much as the rest of them. If she did have an idea of what was going on, it would only be right to tell them.

“How do you catch it?”

“We think that the infections spread when they bite you. It is being transmitted through body fluids, at least that is what we assume is happening. We really can’t be certain at this point in time.” Her answer didn’t sound as rehearsed this time. That made Kimber push more.

“How did they become infected?”

Jean sighed again, bending down to start looking at Kimber’s legs.
