“So that’s it.” Harris finished, sat back in his chair and regarded April and Steele.

“Is that all you want?” Steele laughed.

“I was going to do it myself, but with the current escalations I…”

“Are you sure you’re doing the right thing,” Steele interrupted him. “I mean, telling the vampires that we exist is a huge risk.”

“I know.” Harris wiped at his forehead. “I just can’t see a way around it. We have to stop them from using the serum or we’re all dead anyway. It may take a little longer, but we’ll all die regardless. Besides,” he paused as he looked Steele in the eye, “it’s really only a matter of time before someone notices that you never came back from your mission here and send someone to investigate.”

Steele looked at Harris and could see what the decision was costing him. He may have decided what was best, but it was obvious by his pale complexion and his haunted eyes that he was not comfortable with what he was about to do, or what he was asking Steele to do.

“Is this all we have?” Steele indicated the four of them in the room.

Harris shrugged. “I’m hoping that I can get a few more to help. It all depends on how quickly Phelps can lock down the complex, so we have to move quickly.”

“I’ll need to take most of the fuel the camp has if I’m gong to get there, though,” Harris continued, “and if I’m going to get you where you need to go, Steele.

Steele raised his eyebrow. He knew what that would do to the community. They had little enough fuel as it was to power the generator and it was winter.

“I know,” Harris replied with a heavy sigh. “I don’t think we have a choice, though. There’s too much riding on this.”

“You’re not going to be popular around here.”

“With any luck we’ll both be killed. Then all they can do is spit on our graves,” Harris laughed.

The men jumped when April slammed her hand on the table to attract their attention, and then she gesticulated madly. Harris had no idea what she was saying, but her hands moved with such grace that he was mesmerized. Her face was scrunched up in concentration and her eyes burned with anger.

“She says we’re both mad,” Steele explained after she had finished.

“I’d say she said a lot more than that.” Sandra arched her eyebrows and then winked at April. “We don’t really have a choice, love,” Sandra said as she reached for the girl’s hand.

April managed a quick series of hand gestures before emotion took over and she buried her head in Sandra’s shoulder.

“What did she say?” Harris asked.

“She asked what she would do without me.” Steele sighed heavily and laid a hand on her head with surprising tenderness.

“You’ll never be alone while we’re here,” Sandra assured her, but forgot that the girl could not see her lips so the words, if not the sentiment, dissipated impotently into the air.

Steele pulled the girl gently back from Sandra and repeated her words using sign language.
