CHAPTER TEN

Hiram jolted in surprise when the satellite phone by his side rang. He'd been waiting to hear it all day but when it finally rang it was a shock nonetheless. Despite his eagerness to hear from Ringo he was hesitant to pick it up, a feeling of dread settling in his stomach. He activated the phone.

“Ringo?”

“It's me, Hiram,” the boy's voice rang out. “I got it. Got it all.”

“Everything okay?” Hiram asked. The silence on the other end was answer enough. “Ringo?” Hiram spoke hesitantly.

“I need you to do something for me,” Ringo said rather than reply. “I might have a problem.” Hiram felt the dread in his belly congeal into a hard ball.

“What happened, son?” he asked gently.

“I need you to call that Baxter woman for me,” Ringo said calmly. “I need to know how long it takes for infection to show up in someone.”

“Are you bitten, Ringo?” Hiram hated to ask. His eyes were closed against the answer.

“No,” Ringo's reply seemed to take hours. “But I. . .I got some blood on me. I'm not sure, but I maybe got some in my mouth, too. One of the infected got on me and I killed her, but. . .well, blood went everywhere. I just don't know Hiram. And I really need to know.”
