CHAPTER SIXTEEN

MARCUS

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt head over to the Grand Canyon. Eve finds the role-play quite fun, but I much prefer to play the agent. I don’t know how to be Patrick Roosevelt, the happy-go-lucky tourist. That isn’t me. I awkwardly fiddle with the binoculars around my neck as Eve and I walk towards one of the most breathtaking sites in the world.

We stopped at the Toroweap Overlook and have a fantastic view of rock and water and sky. I have never been to the Grand Canyon before, and Eve, only being six at the time, barely remembers her visit to this magnificent landmark. The view is as incredible as any tourist guide described. What they didn’t describe is how terrifyingly high up we are. I am a tad afraid of heights, but I think I managed to hide it well. Eve has the opposite reaction; she is in total awe. She looks down at the Colorado River every chance she gets. She wears such a large grin that you would believe her to be Eleanor Roosevelt, the patriotic, fun-loving American. I smile at her as she steals the binoculars from around my neck. I am glad to let her have them. I wrap my arms around her, thinking it a bit odd that she chose to wear long sleeves in the desert, but her body is different now. Perhaps the sun bothers zombies?

Eve stares down below, and as she watches, her smile begins to slowly fade. My mind races. “Eve,” I whisper, “what did you find?”

Without a word, she hands me the binoculars. I stare down at the same area that Eve was looking. I try not to look concerned or draw attention to myself amongst the sea of tourists. There below us lies a zombie. It seems to have broken apart at the waist so that its end is in the Colorado River, and some entrails drag towards land with the rest of the upper body. The zombie isn’t moving enough to be noticed by sight alone. You would need binoculars or a fantastic zoom on a camera to see him clearly.

Eve and I are on the same page. We glance around for anyone with a phenomenal-looking camera or some binoculars. I spot a few people with disposable cameras, thankful that they haven’t upgraded yet. A few take pictures on their phones, but that won’t have enough zoom, so that is more than fine. Then Eve sees something. She taps me on the arm, and I turn to face what she’s pointing at. A child perched up on his father’s shoulders has some amazing binoculars and is looking in the exact spot that our zombie lays.

The young boy lowers his binoculars with a horrified look on his face. Eve and I need to do something before this kid reveals a secret we are hoping to keep hidden from the public. He could be responsible for universal panic, and it will be impossible to cover up the news when it spreads to every corner of the world.
