11- Made for a Mission

My footsteps echo down the dark hallways as I tread aimlessly through the corridors of the old jail building. A part of me, in spite of my anger, can’t help but be impressed by the setup here. They grow food in window boxes, and in a garden they’ve set up on the roof. They also catch rain water in barrels up on the roof, and pipe the water into the building. It appears they’ve set up some kind of solar panel as well, but I don’t know much about that.

I don’t know what to do. I’m sure everyone here hates me for getting their friend bitten. Everyone except for Chap, and I don’t want to be friends with his type. This is no place for me, but where am I going to go?

I hear voices down the hall so I slip into an empty room and close the door behind me. Slanting light casts a pale glow on the dusty tile floor. Newspapers are piled atop a single table beneath the window. Having nothing better to do, I grab a folding chair from the corner, pull it up to the table, and sit down.

The front page of the top paper screams Deadly Virus! It dates from the early days of the outbreak. I skim the article, but there’s nothing I don’t already know. The other papers are much the same, the headlines growing more sensational as time passes and the bug grows more serious. One features a series of color photographs documenting the stages of a person turning to a bugger. I read passages here and there, noting how disbelief gives way to desperation as people accept the horrific reality of the bug, and gradually accept that there will be no cure.

I set the last paper aside to find a single sheet of legal paper. The words on it set my heart pounding.

Rev. Walton Jameson

Fall Branch

Project Eden

The reason for everything!

Does this mean what I think it means? I flip back through the papers, searching for references to Reverend Jameson or Project Eden. I find a few articles in which his name is circled, all of them quoting him in regard to the spiritual implications of the bug. He’s the pastor of one of those mega churches in Fall Branch, a mountain town a few hours away. I don’t, however, find anything about a Project Eden. And then I remember something else. Katy mentioned Eden just last night, though she believed it to be a place of refuge from the bug. Could it be a coincidence? Surely not.

I check under the table for stray papers. Nothing there. I spend ten minutes scouring the room, but come up empty. Discouraged, I take another look at the sheet of paper. I don’t know who wrote it, but the implication is clear. Somewhere deep inside me, a tiny spark of suspicion threatens to burst into full flame.

Stuffing it into my pocket, I stalk out of the room and head to the closest stairwell.
