Emily

The lab, Emily had to admit, was impressive. When she’d been told their space would be located outside Haven proper, her first instinctive response was a vague anger overlaid on wary resignation. Of course they wouldn’t have the protection of the walls. Of course they’d be stuck on the ass end of nowhere.

In reality, they were right across the street. The building had formerly been part of the local National Guard airfield, meant to hold several helicopters. It was a huge slab of cinder block and prefab aluminum with doors easily capable of keeping out the undead.

The interior was cozy. So cozy, in fact, that she had a hard time waking Kell up.

“Get out of bed,” she said for the third time, with no response. “I’m literally on fire! I’m going to die if you don’t move your ass right this second!”

He mumbled and rolled over, pulling the pillow on top of his head.

“How dare you,” Emily whispered dramatically, then dropped onto him with a well-placed elbow.

“What the shit, man?” Kell shouted as he sat up. “You could have just said something.”

Rather than argue with him, Emily bounced to her feet. “We have a busy day. I have to go get your test subjects. Then bring Mason over here. Then check to make sure our supplies are stocked up. While you get to play with your new toys.”

The interior of the hangar was immense by the standards most people had for living space. What had originally been one open area with a few offices along a wall had been transformed. One bay was enclosed by walls and ceiling added by Will Price’s people. That was the lab. Two offices were converted to utility areas, one holding water tanks fed by rooftop collection, the other car batteries and the power system keeping the lights and lab machinery working.

Rather than try to build into the existing structure, the rest of the space was essentially a house without walls standing open on three sides. The south end of the building connected to the plywood rooms, which stood two levels high, but other than the floor that was the only point of contact.

“They aren’t toys,” Kell said as he hauled himself up. “I can go with you, if you want.”

Emily shook her head. “No, sir. You need to make sure everything is set up in there. Check all your weird biology nerd supplies. Calibrate things, or whatever it is you do. I’ll handle the rest. Besides, I’ll have Allen and Greg with me. I’ll be fine.”

She gave him a peck on the cheek and stepped through the open doorway and into the hangar. The steps leading down from their second-level bedroom looked suspicious due to their rough construction, but they were solid. They didn’t so much as creak as she loped down them two at a time.

“There you are,” Allen said as she dashed toward the passenger van serving as their loyal steed for the day. “What took so long?”

Emily smiled. “You try waking his ass up sometime.
