Chapter Ten

Officer Fitzpatrick and his unwilling companion crept down the hospital corridors, following the twists and turns of the indoor landscape without comment or conversation. Robin led the way, trying to be quiet.

Every now and then, she emitted a burst of sobs that made the cop want to put a bullet in the back of her head, just to shut her up.

She picked up the pace as they moved along, letting her nerves carry her past empty hospital rooms and the detritus that had accumulated in the halls as the people who'd once inhabited those rooms made their sloppy exit.

Discarded hospital gowns, used latex gloves, dirty syringes and tangled bed sheets littered the floor. The scent of disinfectant and decay hung heavy in the air.

The cop still carried his makeshift bag filled with drugs from the hospital dispensary. His companion remained topless except for the cotton bra she'd been wearing underneath her blouse.

Now and then, he glanced at the creamy skin that was no longer hidden from his sight, but he knew better than to allow himself to become distracted by the curves of her body.

There were more important things to do.

"How much farther?" Officer Fitzpatrick finally asked her. "I don't want to walk around in circles all day long." His patience had reached its breaking point, and he didn't know how long he could pretend he wasn't losing it. "Do you even know what the fuck you're doing?"

"Not- not much further," Robin said through her tears. "We're almost there." She used the top of her bra to wipe away the wetness from her cheeks, leaving black mascara smears and pink traces of rouge on the fabric. "We're not walking in circles."

The unlikely duo didn't see anyone on their travels through the hospital maze, which was a good thing considering what so many of the patients and staff of the hospital were becoming.

However, the cop wasn't naïve enough to think a lack of living, dead or undead in the hallways meant that everything was okay.

Everything was definitely not okay.

He was trained to be suspicious, and the lack of activity in the halls was making him very, very suspicious indeed.

There should have been doctors, nurses, certified nursing aides, personal care attendants, dietary specialists, visitors, X-ray techs and the occasional patient roaming the halls. Instead, there was silence at every turn.

The medical waste flotsam and jetsam beneath their feet was the only sign that anyone had ever been there, and it appeared that they had left in a hurry.

Now and then, the sound of someone screaming reached their ears, but it came from far away. Neither of them mentioned it, even though they both heard it.

"Where is everyone?" Robin asked, wondering the same thing as the cop. "This is weird. These halls are filled with people on an average day." She shook her head.

"Well, that's your answer," the cop replied. "Today is not an average day."

Robin nodded her head. "You can say that again."

"I don’t have to say it again. I just said it now.
