“I don’t like it,” Hawkins said worriedly. Eric was already accustomed to the way the young man’s fear ran his life. The proposition that had him scared for his life was admittedly not a safe one. Not by a long shot. The plan included the two of them riding together to the train depot way earlier than Hawkins needed to be there. Armed with new knowledge, and the urge to find out as much as he could about the virus, Eric would find a place to hide near the meeting destination where he could listen. Hawkins’ job would be to stretch the conversation out long enough for Eric to get some good information about what was going on. This of course would mean that the scared kid would have to go off the script that his theoretical captors had given him. He had a reason to be scared. Eric chose to try and work with that to get what he wanted. He sighed as if he cared. “Look, kid, everyone is afraid of something.”

“Now who’s the bad liar?” he said accusingly. “You clearly aren’t.”

“I absolutely am, Hawkins. It’s just what I do with that fear that sets us apart.”

Hawkins looked on suspiciously, then asked, “What do you mean?”

Eric, knowing he was getting somewhere, continued, “I fear dying in this mess of walking corpses every time I run across them. Do you want to know why I was out on that road tonight? I was trying to drive out of town to see if things were better anywhere else. I just want out. That’s not because I love fighting these things. I want to keep living, so I fight when I have to. But that intensity you saw out there a few minutes ago wasn’t something that I could have normally brought out of myself six months ago. It’s natural ability fueled with an explosion of survival instincts that brings the animal in me out. It’s fear that drives me to survive. Do you understand? You need to dig deep and let the fear be your energy source.”

“Yeah? All I heard was, yada yada yada, I kick zombie ass, yada yada yada.”

“Seriously, though,” Eric said, cracking a smile.

“Okay, so I should take the fear I have of zombies and use it as fuel to force me into action against these people. Is that basically what you’re saying?”

“Exactly! So you’re on board?”

“Either that or I’m planning to double-cross you.”

“I doubt that, Hawkins.”
