CHAPTER THIRTEEN

6:42am – 11 hours 18 minutes remaining

Miller paced inside the Winnebago, furious at herself and everyone else. "What the…" She resisted the urge to curse in front of the frightened child. "What happened?"

"Terrill Lee was defending the Winnebago, just like you told him to," said Sheppard. His pale face sagged. "They got him."

"What? I just said that because I wanted him out of the way."

Sheppard shifted uncomfortably on the sofa. He was still in pain and now emotionally drained as well. The child's ripe body odor joined the other smells in the Winnebago. "Well, he took you very seriously. The zombies came out of that alley and stumbled right up to the door. I told him not to do anything. I told him that we were safe at least for a while. I told him that you would be back. But he opened it, with the intention of hitting them with a big frying pan, they way you did when we were back at base. There were too many of them. They grabbed him and pulled him outside. He hooked his foot in the door and it shut behind him, saving my life. Penny, I couldn't do anything about it. I'm too weak."

"Shit."

"Penny, you didn't leave us any weapons." Sheppard's eyes briefly accused her but then fell away. His reluctance to blame her made it all even worse.

Dear God, no… A tear rolled down her cheek.

"So where is he?" Terrill Lee's words about not splitting up the party rang in her ears. Her stomach felt all hallowed out. Her eyes burned.

"Scratch and Psycho are still looking." Rat leaned back against the wall. She did not meet Miller's eyes. She knew that feeling all too well.

For his part, Lovell just shook his head. "I doubt they're going to find much of anything. By the time we noticed what was going on, they had already dragged him off."

"What do you mean, dragged him off?" Miller said. "They didn't bite? Didn't just eat him right away?"

"We don't know," said Lovell. "We couldn't see."

Miller screamed at them. "So what you're saying is you don't know if he's dead or alive; you don't know where he is; actually you don't know anything."

Rat shrugged. "Well, yes. And we won't know anything more until Psycho and Scratch get back."

Miller flexed her hands. She was beyond angry. She didn't appreciate the idea that one moment of carelessness had cost Terrill Lee his life. She had an overwhelming urge to apologize to Rat for not being more understanding. Miller hadn't just lost one of her men this time, she'd lost her ex-husband, that loveable idiot. Damn it.

"Penny," said Sheppard, "You're pale and shaking. You should eat something."

"He's right," Lovell said. They were all used to her ongoing zombie virus appetite by now. "We managed to find some water and food that hadn't spoiled." He moved to the pile of supplies that they had collected in the store. He rummaged around.

"How can you think of food right now?" snapped Miller.
