Chapter 17

A fierce, blinding sun glared at me through a window, making me put up a hand to shield my eyes. Doing so brought up a whole host of pains, especially in my head, and the darkness closed over me again.

When next I woke, the only light was the glow of a propane lantern. I opened my eyes and looked around the room. Brit sat in a big stiffed chair next to the couch I was on, book resting on the rifle she had slung across the arms of the chair. She had fallen asleep, and her head lolled to one side, drool running out of the corner of her mouth. She had never looked more beautiful.

“Hey” I said, gently, and she sat bolt upright, instinctively scanning the room over the sights of her rifle, eyes darting about, looking for threats. She finally stopped and lowered the weapon as her eyes fell on me.

Still keeping my voice low, I croaked out “I’m awake. Gimme some water.” My mouth felt like someone had poured a bottle of dust into it, and I had a hell of a headache. That and I had to piss like a fucking race horse. Brit handed me a canteen, cap open, and I sipped it. Then she gave me a couple of Motrin, and I almost laughed. Motrin and water, I must have been seriously injured. She helped me get up and use a bucket in the corner to piss in, a steady look of concern on her face. The couch creaked when I sat back down on it, and I felt a million times better. Brit still hadn’t said anything.

“What happened?” I asked. “Where is everyone else? Are we still in the town? What happened with the cannibals at the hotel?”

“Whoa there, Nick. Slow down. One thing at a time. We’re in the upstairs of a store, same town. Everyone is racked out or on watch. Do you remember what happened to you? Doc Bailey said you might not, you took a pretty hard crack to the head.”

“Vaguely. Last thing I really recall” I said, trying to think back “is giving the command to fire at those fucking cannibals. I don’t remember anything after that.” I was getting irritated, and Brit put her arm around me to calm me down.

“You got into a fight with some big dude, and got the shit beat out of you. I killed him.”

“You? Why not Kelly? She was with me.”

“Nick…” she said, and the look on my face told me everything.

I sucked in a deep breath and let it out. Godfuckingdammit. Kelly Hart had been on our team for years, was our neighbor back home, and little Nate’s Godmother. Even worse, she was Angelo Redshirt’s wife.

“What happened?”

“You really don’t remember?”

“No. I fucking told you, no.”

“Nick” she said, being patient “we don’t KNOW what happened. I heard a shot and came out of the hotel to find you wrestling on the ground with some giant cannibal and Kelly dead on the ground.
