Alex

Alex was itchy. He still clung to the secret he’d spent the last week guarding, expecting Luke to expose him at any moment. Except he hadn’t, and the guilt had built and built until he was ready to scream.

He wasn’t screaming though. He was sitting in the main room with Sophie, a beautiful woman his own age who was both deliciously naive and experienced. Not in that way, he was pretty certain, but there was more to her than she was letting on. There had to be, no one was this innocent.

Why couldn’t he forget about his part in the plague and move on? No one else cared where it came from. The truth was, it came from the soldiers of God. If they hadn’t stolen it from the government it would still be locked in a bunker deep below ground. So it was their fault. Him designing it made him no more guilty than the person who made the trucks in which it was delivered.

He nodded and Sophie stopped mid-sentence. ‘You really think he was right?’

‘What? Sorry, no, I…’ He blushed and sat straighter. ‘Sorry, I drifted off. There’s a lot going on. What were you saying?’

She didn’t even look affronted, just nodded and smiled and started again. He tried to pay attention this time, he really did, but it was difficult. Because regardless of who was to blame for the plague, he still couldn’t deny the other problem that was growing larger by the minute. That problem sat across the room, hair tied back, attacking a sandwich and very pointedly not looking at him.

Did Bayleigh like him? He thought she did, but she was being very cool about it if she did. And she thought the age difference was an issue. She looked good, great for thirty four, but she’d nearly fainted when he said he was twenty two. Nearly fainted and then looked really disappointed. He blinked and focused on what Sophie was saying.

They’d moved onto her course at Uni and how thrilling it was and he realised he was in completely the wrong place talking to the wrong person. He excused himself and left the room, expecting to find Bayleigh wandering the corridors. They were deserted. It felt quiet in here since half the ladies had left. There were still fifty something of them crammed into a tiny space, but it was subdued, as though Jackson had dragged off all the ones with any spirit.

He headed for their room and found it empty, then went room by room through their area. After walking in on a couple of the ladies in fewer clothes than expected, he took to knocking on doors. He paused by one, hand raised, and stopped before he knocked. There were sounds coming from within and, face flushed, he leant closer.

They were… odd. There was a man in there who could only be Dave and he sounded like he was having a great time. But there was another voice that sounded strained and he couldn’t decide if she was enjoying herself or not.
