Seeking Answers

Jude watched as Joanne set the phone down. “So what, are they going to send help? Or is everyone stupid enough to stick around here going to be on their own?”

Joanne shrugged, she said, "I don't know Jude it's hard to tell. It didn't sound like they were going to be able to send anyone immediately. She said it might be a day or two. Hopefully, these people in town have got something to eat while they wait for help."

"Well, I can't imagine what these people are thinking, waking up and seeing hell walking around in front of them. Just hope they aren't dumb enough to go out there and try to help them," Jude said.

The doctor came out wiping the blood off his hands. "Well I got good news, and I got bad news."

Joanne stood worriedly for her friend. She said, "What, is she alive?"

The doctor loaded a pipe and struck a match lighting it up taking a seat. He said, "Well now if she was dead you see I'd just have bad news and well bad news. No, you see she ain't going nowhere and well since you all are in a hurry I think that was the bad news."

Joanne looked through the door and saw Kayla who was resting peacefully and out for the count. She looked back and said, “How long is she going to be sedated for? Are you sure she won’t be able to move?”

The doctor laughed shaking his head. He said, "Well ma'am I reckon that I've been doing this longer than you have been alive. She might move, but it's going to be from the flat of her back. She gonna have some serious pain coming over the next few days. The only thing that might keep you at ease is that these houses were built to last. This here was my daddy's house and it is just as strong as it was when it was built in nineteen hundred. So she can stay here, ya'll go about your work whatever it is that you think is so damn important now. She was just barely coherent when I was working on her, but she said something about trying to figure out about the dead and why they are alive."

Joanne said, "Well she is right, we need to figure things out and see what we can do. It might not be something that can be stopped, but we need to at least find the answers so we can report back in."

Jude disappeared into the back room and called home. He waited for it to answer and it rang much longer than he had expected which immediately made him worry. He said, "Oh Christ where the hell are they?"

Maria opened the basement door and slid out to the kitchen. She motioned for Patrick not to come upstairs and quickly grabbed the phone and went back to the basement door. "Hello, Jude, is this you?"

Jude sighed in relief, “Oh thank God, I am glad you are okay.
