Chapter 15

Ray Rutger was eating a very dry ham and cheese on wheat when the massive fight broke out in the Philadelphia International Airport. He was eating it in the same gate he’d originally been sitting in when all the flights were cancelled. He wasn’t sure why he kept going back to the same place. A sense of security, maybe? Was it just his way of trying to keep some sense of a routine in the midst of a world gone crazy? He wasn’t sure, and he supposed none of it really mattered—especially after the fight started.

Ray didn’t see the brawl start, but he heard it. One moment, it had been the same quiet desperation of people starting to feel more trapped than rescued, and the next there was cursing and screaming. It was coming from the right, in the direction of the On the Border that was no longer serving food, and the little electronics shop with mobile phone cases and over-priced headphones. When he got to his feet, he could just barely see the edge of the skirmish, but it was clear that it was quite serious. From what Ray could see, there were easily ten or fifteen people involved in it and as they fought and scrambled and screamed, several of the armed military men came running toward the fight.

He'd heard the phrase “nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd” before and he watched as it was proven accurate. People came rushing from all directions to see what was happening. Some were uttering curses, some were crying, and some wore looks of frustration and anger; this was the look of people that wanted something to let their frustrations out on. It was seeing the expressions on some of the people that were running to fight, anxious for it, that clued Ray in to the fact that this was going to be bad. A certain unnamable pressure had been stirring in the airport since the military had arrived and he felt certain that it was about to pop. Much like a shaken bottle of soda, Ray was starting to feel like the top might pop right off of this place.

It was a feeling that amplified tenfold when a woman from near the fighting screamed out at the top of her lungs. Everything changed in an instant after that, and before Ray could even think of how to respond, the entire airport descended into utter chaos in a single breath.

“Sick!” the woman screamed! “He’s sick, he’s sick! It’s here…”

The woman continued to scream, but the uproar of everyone else all around her drowned her out. People started surging and Ray felt like he was adrift in a sea of screams as things in the Philadelphia International Airport went to hell.
