By the time the sky had darkened down to indigo blue meeting with burnt orange, the kids were in bed and Vicki and Cleo were in the front room sharing drinks as Vicki told her all about her day with the kids. She had expected to spend a few hours out and be back by the afternoon, but Cleo had guessed, as Zodiac was with her, it would turn into an all day adventure. That bright boy with wisdom beyond his years was also a child who liked to play and now they were in a secure town, he was feeling settled and enjoying what freedom really meant.

While the women talked together, Greg and Marc were having ice cold beer in the garden as the last of the light began to fade out. They sat together at the table on the patio and watched the skies darken down as the sun became like a fading ember on the skyline.

“I'm glad it ends like this,” Marc said as he glanced to Greg, “We made it in the end. I honestly thought when we took that flight in the chopper, when we fled the mainland at the start of the outbreak, I remember looking around at the carnage and thinking, we'll be lucky if we get through the next week. Then we found the rig and things started to work out - until it was raided.”

Greg drank a mouthful of beer.

“That was my fault.”

“No,” Marc replied, then he laughed as he shook his head, “Okay, yeah Greg it was your fault that dealer came after us. But we came though that. You nearly didn't...” his smile faded at the memory of Greg screaming as the zombies attacked underwater, then he remembered Greg bleeding on the deck of the fishing boat as they made their escape, “I just took that boat onwards, I kept going. I didn't know if you would make it. But look at us now... We lost Wolfsheer and that was down to the tide and what it brought in. But here we are in Circus, safe... you've got Cleo and the kids, I've got Vicki. I'll probably die a happy man. Happier than I would have been if I'd died sooner, chewed up by the living dead!”

Greg paused for thought.

“Should you be drinking on those pills Christian gave you?”

“Probably not... actually, no... but what's one beer going to do?”

“That's your second,” Greg reminded him.

“And you're a bite doctor, not an actual doctor of medicine, Greg! I'll be okay. What's the worst that could happen?”

Greg gave a sigh.

“I guess I can't suggest you consider your future and take more care.”

“That would be pointless...” Marc paused, silently reflecting on a conversation he had shared with John whilst out on patrol, “I think I need to tell you something... actually, John Mundy advised that I should. Don't get worked up, not until you hear the facts. If you tell Cleo, make sure she keeps it between us, I mean, you, me, Vicki... it has to remain a secret.
