CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

Central California

Joe Reilley didn’t care what people thought of him.

He hadn’t cared what Jim and Eddy, the men who’d picked him up on the side of the road outside of Lancaster, thought of him. Not when he pushed Eddy off the top of the car when Jim wasn’t looking, essentially feeding him to the infected that surrounded them, and not when he’d fooled Jim into thinking he’d run with him when the man tried to escape.

Along those lines, he hadn’t cared what his girlfriend thought when he left her trapped in the townhome they’d been renting, surrounded by hordes of infected who were in the process of breaking in when he’d fled.

And he certainly didn’t give a shit what Daniel and the others thought about him taking the girl.

He was looking out for number one, plain and simple, and in the world they were living in, that was the only way to survive.

With society nearly completely decimated, and with it the norms that made life so damned tedious at times, he could focus on what was best for him.

His wants and needs.

No one else’s.

“Shut the hell up back there!” he shouted at the girl tied up in the back seat. Her muffled cries were annoying him, and he didn’t need the distraction while he was driving fast at night on a poorly lit road that was littered with abandoned vehicles.

Isabella would be worth a lot to the government, and he was going to make sure they paid. Not in money - that had little to no value given the state of the world - but in gold, something that would always have value.

He’d exchange the girl for enough gold to ensure that he’d be comfortable for the rest of his days, then head towards the hills, where he’d find a nice, big, empty home, one with solar power and its own well, away from everyone.

There he’d set himself up for the future. In his youth, he’d learned how to grow vegetables, so he’d plant a garden. Next, he’d find a truck and gather livestock from surrounding farms. Soon he’d have everything he’d need to live comfortably.

And he’d have his nest egg of gold to fall back on, should he need it when the country inevitably made a comeback.

He’d even have enough to hire protection, should things take a turn for the worse.
