Chapter 19: The Frequency Map

At seven in the morning an alarm on Shannon’s watch beeped waking her and Lester up. They were cuddled into each other on the couch. Jerrell was sleeping in the chair next to the studio equipment with his feet propped on top of the console. Shannon turned on the flashlight and noticed something written on the bottom of the mousepad on the floor. She tilted her head with the attempt to read it.

“What’s that?” Lester asked.

“Are you freaking kidding me?” She grumbled.

“What does that mean?” Lester noticed what Shannon was inspecting and asked while struggling to read the numbers written on the back of the mousepad.

“It’s the frequency map. Les, we found it!” She wore a massive grin.

Jerrell awoke in a squint shielding his eyes from the glow of the flashlight.

“What’s going on?” Jerrell asked.

“Your feet must have knocked over the mousepad. Look, it’s the map. It’s the frequency map, Jerrell!” Shannon radiated.

“So we’re saved then?” He asked.

“Well, we still need fuel for the generator. But we don’t have to go back to the Paul Simon Safe House again.” Lester explained.

“So, we risked our lives for no reason? Tommy…Tommy’s probably out there eating some dude’s face and we had the map here all along?” Jerrell felt sick.

“We don’t know if he was bit. All we know is he’s stuck out there by himself. He could be coming back with the map any minute now.” Lester explained.

“I doubt it. There’s no way he survived all night out there by himself. I haven’t heard any more gunshots since yesterday.” Jerrell groaned.

“But we don’t know for sure. That’s better than knowing he’s one of those monsters.”

“I’d rather know.”

“I’d rather have hope.” Shannon dangled the mousepad in front of him.

“If we leave to get the fuel, how will he know where we’ve gone? If he’s not a zombie, of course.” He added.

“Just leave a note for him.” Shannon answered and handed him a pen and paper.

“I could just stay and wait for him.” Jerrell suggested.

“That’s a bad idea. Two or more outside the door.” Lester recited a rhyme the Highwaymen taught all those who leave the gates of the city.

“But I’m safe in here.”

“Like we were at the Paul Simon Safe House?” Shannon argued.

“Then we’re never safe.”

“You’re right. Better to encounter those things together than to do it alone.” Shannon added.

“So, what should I tell him?” Jerrell held the pen in his hand and gazed at the blank paper nervously.

“The truth.” Lester advised.

“He’ll hate us.”

“Maybe, but if we do nothing we’ll die. If you lie to him, there’s a chance he’ll discover the truth and will never trust us again. Did we lie to him about Tim?”

“No, but he needed to know the truth. His dad would have bit him if we didn’t.”

“Trust is an important thing nowadays. You lose that, well, you might not ever get it back.” Lester confessed.

“Fine, I’ll leave him a letter. What can it hurt? I can just throw it away when we get back.”

“Exactly!” Shannon placed the mousepad on the desk and patted her brother on his back.
