Chapter 22

A few days had passed and I knew Max was impressed with me because he started giving me routine jobs. It made me feel good that I could help out and keep my mind off of my grief, because I was never one for just sitting around. Just like Nick and Lucas, I loved the action. Max had even given me some jobs close to the edge of the city which made Nick nervous. But I assured my brother that I wasn’t going to let a flesh eater take me out.

It was early in the morning and I decided to go for a jog. I threw on jogging pants and a t-shirt, and some good tennis shoes one of the guys had recently given me. I figured it was a great way to stay in shape and be alone with my thoughts. It was chilly so I made sure to wear a sweat shirt jacket. I strapped on a knife and hand gun, then took off. It felt good to run and it felt good to just have some time to myself with nobody around.

When I came back, I ran into Rachel near the front of the building. She looked cute with her blonde hair blowing around in the wind.

“Looking good,” she said.

Sweat rolled down my face and back, and I had to admit I was kind of embarrassed. I leaned over to catch my breath. “Thanks. I just needed to get out.”

“See any zombies?”

“Nope.”

“So what’s with the big work out this morning?” she asked. “Did you need some fresh air?”

“Yeah, but I need to stay in top shape too…because I want to be a zombie’s worst nightmare.”

She smiled. “Got it. But there is a small gym in apartment 306. Val and Claire have been using it. It might be a little safer than jogging out here all by yourself. I mean, ‘cause you just never know.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. But don’t worry. I was really careful.”

“We both know that doesn’t matter. You can be careful as you want, but in this new world, you’re bound to run into trouble, accidents happen. Anybody can die in this town, and if that happens, then that makes that person a dangerous brain-eater. A stray zombie can dart out of the bushes and take a chunk of your arm before you knew what hit you. Just because the rotten shamblers can’t get inside the city won’t save you from the zombies that can be born the second somebody takes their last breath.”

“You’re right,” I said.

“If you need a jogging buddy, then just call me or Ed. But please don’t come out here by yourself.” She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’m just worried about you, that’s all. But why get attached, right? I hear you’re leaving soon anyway.”

“It’s all up in the air,” I said.

“We’d really love for you to stay.”

“I know Val wants too.”

“But I understand about wanting to get home. I’m from Arkansas myself. Just kind of ended up here with my dad a while back.
