________________________________________

Looking past him, I can tell it is. “Yes! Yes! Open the garage door. I hope Jack is OK.”

I sprint past Chris and run over to the garage in order to greet our guests. Liz gets out of the car first. Rocky is a quick second, only because he hasn’t learned to open car doors with his paws just yet. He runs over to me.

I stoop down to greet him.

“Hey, Rocky! Good boy! It’s so nice to see you. Have you been taking good care of Liz and Jack?” he licks my face. I pat his head and scratch his neck. “I bet you have!” As I’m petting Rocky, I notice Jack is still sitting in the car. I stand up to talk with Liz.

“Hey Liz. How are you? How is Jack doing?”

“We’re OK. He’s been a little out of it. Sorry it took so long to get here. I didn’t think this was the place. We drove by a couple of times.”

“That’s fine. This is Chris’s hideout. It’s a dump, right? No one will find us here.”

“Who’s looking for us?”

“Everyone, I think. C’mon,” I smirk. “Let’s get Jack outta the car and get back into the house. We’re trying to figure out what to do next. We don’t have many options.”

I walk around to the other side of the car and open the door. Jack sees me and smiles.

“How are you feeling?” I ask.

“Fine,” he responds in a low voice.

“Don’t lie to me. You look like crap.”

“I’ll be fine. I just need to rest.”

“C’mon. Let’s get you in the house,” I grab his hand.

“I can’t get up. Just leave me here.”

“Don’t be silly. I’m not leaving you anywhere.”

I look in Liz’s direction and wave her over.

“Liz, we need your help. He doesn’t look good. Help me get him inside.”

Liz hurries over. We manage to get him out of the car. He’s got one arm over both of our shoulders.

“Do you have any more medication?”

“Yes, but I just injected him before we left to come here.”

“He might need another.”

“I’m not sure that’s wise. Maybe we should try giving him another sports drink?”

As we pass from the garage to the house, Jack is getting less responsive and his feet are dragging.”

“Chris!” I shout. “We need your help!”

Chris comes running out to us and sees Jack.

“He really doesn’t look good. Lay him down over there,” he points to one of the beds.

We drag him over and tuck a pillow under his head to make him as comfortable as possible.

“Damn it. OK. Maybe we should try another shot. Roll up his sleeve.”

I follow Liz’s instructions.

She takes another dose of the inoculant out of her pocket and prepares to inject Jack.

“Listen. Before I do this, I want to be completely transparent. I’ve never given anyone doses back-to-back like this. I’m not sure how he’s going to respond.”

“Do you have any other suggestions?”

“Besides the sports drink? No.”

“Then go ahead with the dose.”

Chris and I watch Liz as she injects Jack and pushes down the plunger.
