CHAPTER FIVE

Benjamin had never been this close to having an existential crisis in his entire life. What on Earth had his life become? Now that he was no longer in danger of being bitten by a zombie, it was really beginning to sink in for Benjamin that his life had just taken a hard-right turn into crazy land.

Zombies. There were actual zombies. Now, Benjamin had so many questions. If zombies existed, what else existed? Did vampires exist? Could vampires defeat zombies? Could vampires turn into zombies? Or zombies into vampires? Benjamin’s whole life had shattered apart, and he was now starting to wish he’d read more of that Supernatural porn. The plot had involved a succubus or something. Admittedly, Benjamin hadn’t meant to look at the file, but the computer owner had left it up. It had seemed well-researched.

The TV had flipped to a commercial for Viagra of all things.

“So now, we just have to clean this all up,” Amber declared.

“It’s going to take an act of God to get all that blood out of the carpet,” Alex replied, frowning. “Maybe we should just throw it out with Ted. Maybe we should’ve wrapped Ted in it. That would have made our lives much easier, and that would’ve been more respectful, anyway.”

“The blood won’t be hard,” Amber replied, with a dismissive wave. “Just a little bit of hydrogen peroxide, and it’ll come right off. No problem at all.”

“We don’t have any of that,” Elijah replied.

“We don’t have anything except rum and beer,” Alex said.

Amber rolled her eyes and waved her hand. “Come, come. I’ll take you all to the cleaning supplies. I have a ton of them.”

Obediently, Benjamin, Alex, and Elijah followed Amber into the women’s apartment. Benjamin glanced around. There wasn’t much to look at—furniture and stacks of half-opened boxes. In short, it looked just like it had earlier when they had all taken furniture in, but Benjamin had been too tired to get a really good look at it, then.

Once their arms were laden with cleaning materials of all kinds, they returned to the apartment. The place where Ted had lain was stained with blood and grime. Amber pulled on a pair of latex gloves and let the fabric snap against her wrist. “This is going to be a blast,” Amber said. “There is little more satisfying than cleaning up a really huge mess.”

Benjamin completely disagreed, but he also had a pretty good sense of self-preservation. That sense of self-preservation was telling him not to urge with someone who was covered in zombie guts.

Especially when Daisy was standing beside her and swinging the baseball bat. That had a way of making a man quiet and compliant.

Instead, Benjamin pulled on a pair of latex gloves. Amber grabbed the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and dumped a liberal amount on the carpet. It bubbled and fizzed as it came into contact with Ted’s zombie blood.

Everyone dropped the ground and began scrubbing. While most of Ted’s blood was pooled around where his body had been trapped beneath the table, it had spread all over the place and into the hallway.
