Subject: Can you do me a favour and keep an eye on Jenny?

Administrator: Is something wrong?

Subject: She’s just worried about the sickness. I calmed her down but I don’t want her stressing and making herself sick.

Administrator: She’s not a fragile doll, Travis. You have to stop treating her like she’s going to break.

Subject: I know she’s strong but you never know. Please, just do me the favour, okay?

Travis paced the living room in his cabin, circling the couch and then the small table and chairs in the kitchenette, making a sloppy figure eight. He didn’t really have much choice in direction when it came to pacing in the small cabin. The only other rooms were his bedroom and the bathroom, both of them too small for him to get a good speed up to walk off his apprehension.

He wished he could go outside, give himself a chance to really stretch his legs. Except if he could leave the cabin, he wouldn’t be so worried. He could go check on Jenny, make sure that whatever had taken down Craig and the kids wasn’t affecting her.

He wished he’d put off taking his own cabin a little bit longer. There hadn’t been any particular reason he had moved out of the Reyes cabin. It had even been a comfort staying with them when they first got here. He had become used to being with all of them after their time on the road.

But now they had room to spread out and he felt guilty taking the third bedroom and forcing Mateo and Alejandro to share. They deserved some privacy and Travis found he liked having privacy as well after he had settled into the Hummingbird.

At least until now. Being alone with the weight of not knowing who was sick made him wish he wasn’t alone. At least if there was someone here, he could talk out his anxieties.

He always felt better when he voiced them. Even if it didn’t help solve his issues, it made him feel better to share them. He knew it was a long shot that he was infected. He hadn’t gone to the hotel and he hadn’t spent much time around the sick. It was Jenny he was worried about.

He had gone to her when they’d first heard that the kids were sick but she had assured him that she was feeling fine. It didn’t help ease his fears. She had already spent half the day around Ruthie and though the girl was apparently fine, he still wasn’t sure.

It would have been so easy for the little girl to pick up a bug from her brothers and pass it along.

And that was why they had all submitted to a blood test after they had been put in quarantine. Lorraine had come around in full surgical gear to take blood samples and she had let him know that so far no one else had been taken to the clinic.

No symptoms and no one else falling ill, that was good.
