“They caught him before he got two miles out of town. He was shot and left to hang from a lamp post as a warning.”

“Poor bastard, Craddoc said he was heading out to his brother’s place in Montana.”

“That’s why the perimeter guard was tightened up to just around downtown today.”

Dan continued. “But the worst of it is who strung him up – people we haven’t seen before. They wear black and cover their faces with balaclavas. All I saw was eyes, red eyes. Just like Lily has now.”

Ty’s eyes opened wide with surprise “No…”

“Yeah, it looks like there’s more to this ‘cure’ than we’ve been told. I don’t know what’s going on, but this Manning character may have convinced the ones they treated to join him in whatever he’s got planned.”

“How many did you see?”

“Just six or seven of them, two looked small enough to be women, but I’m not sure.”

“Has anyone spoken with them?”

“They don’t talk, and we have orders to never say a word to them. I’ll admit, knowing what they did to Craddoc – well, that’s fine by me.”

“Dan, what if Lily is on that patrol?”

“Then I don’t know. We won’t leave her behind, but this is beyond our ability to handle. They’ll probably kill her if she tries to leave. But I have to get to my wife and boy one way or another. Think about it. If we’re overwhelmed here, what’s it like in the rest of the country? I’m not delaying any longer than I have to.”

“Danny, she’s our friend.”

“I know, she’s a good kid and we went through a lot together, but now she can take care of herself. Hell, she could probably take us both out if she wanted, without breaking a sweat.”

“We need to talk with her before we decide anything.”

“We’ll try.”

“Besides, the odds of making it out of here in one piece just got better.”

“Why?”

Ty reached behind his back and then slowly pulled out the Glock he’d acquired back in Hillsboro.

“Is that the same one?”

“Yup, and I’ve got your shotgun in that cupboard behind you and enough ammo to last all the way to Louisiana, if we’re careful.”

“How?”

“It was Craddoc. He said they sent him to Newsome’s dealership after it was hit by the infected. He found our guns and hid them here in the fire station – I guess he was already planning on getting out of here by then. He gave me back the Glock the day he left. He said we should get out as soon as possible.”

“Did he say anything else?”

“No, that was it. He gave me back our guns and left. That was last I saw of him.”

“Poor guy, he tried to do the right thing by us. He deserved better.”

Ty yawned, and then said “Listen, Dan. It’s late and we have a lot to think about. Let’s call it a night. Do you wanna take the shotgun with you?”

Thinking it over, Dan shook his head. “Better not, too risky. Keep it in the cupboard with the ammo for now.
