Chapter 10

As promised, Katrina and Stu arrived early in the morning to take Lori to see Walter. It was a pleasant morning with the day’s heat not yet built up, so Stu suggested they walk to give Lori a chance to see more of their community firsthand rather than from a car window. Lori didn’t really care how they got there, she just wanted to ensure Wally was okay.

Just like the days when the plague had been raging through the world’s population, the medical detention center looked more like a prison than a medical facility. A chain-link fence topped by razor wire surrounded the flat grey windowless building. She noticed four men armed with high-powered military-grade assault rifles dressed in black makeshift uniforms. It looked to Lori like most of the uniforms were football pads hastily painted black to match the garments.

They snapped to attention and saluted Stu as they crossed through the gate into the detention center’s compound.

Lori saw armed men on the roof, watching her every move. It wouldn’t have surprised her in the slightest if they had shot her dead halfway across.

The entrance had four more guards dressed like the ones at the gate. Once through the door, it opened into a large room Lori thought had been a foyer or vestibule in the past. A dry fountain sat in the center with four more men on either side, facing into the building. These were more armed than the ones at the door or gate. It seemed odd to Lori that they guarded the way out instead of the way in. Like the others, they saluted Stu and made no attempt to stop or detain them.

She followed them through what seemed to be miles of hallways with closed and locked doors on either side. Each door had a small window about three inches wide by six inches tall. Lori couldn’t see inside them because of Stu’s fast pace. Lori wasn’t sure if he was moving that fast to stop her from looking inside the rooms or if he always moved this fast. The walk to the detention center seemed to have been a leisurely walk, while this was more like a marathon.

Stopping at a door that the glass was shattered but still in place, Stu motioned to the guard standing at the door at the end of the hallway.

The guard opened the door and said something to someone Lori couldn’t see. She didn’t have to wait very long when six men dressed in grey uniforms jogged into the hallway. Their uniform was like the others except for being gray and having a lot more padding covering every inch of their body.

“You might want to prepare yourself for this,” Stu said then turned to Katrina. “Did you explain all of this to her?”

“I touched on it yesterday.”

“Touch on it again before we open the door.”

Katrina placed her arm ever so gently on Lori shoulder. “Like I told you yesterday, the shots help subdue the parasite and let our brains become dominant.
