“Is anyone back here with them?”

“Nope, they’re under lock up, and the cameras keep tabs on their whereabouts. You know they’re all tracked, anyway. Don’t be so paranoid.”

“How can you not be? They almost took us out, Weege, and that was just one kid. What’s going to happen if the adults go wild?”

“Henry, we have armed men everywhere. Plus, the zombies are all doped up on Zombie Dew, and there hasn’t been a zombie attack in years. Chill out. I know you just got back, but you’ll get used to it.”

He shook his head. Nothing was ever going to make him feel comfortable around the zombies. It just wasn’t natural. The XT Formula had given him a glimmer of hope, back at the daycare, and the WHS had led him to believe that he would be a part of the solution again, when they asked him to sign the 5-year contract with them. He was wrong to believe, and the XT Formula, for all of his inquires, had slipped from his grasp. His stepfather Stan was gone, and the legacy with him. Thinking about all of his family that had perished left him empty inside.

He stuck his hands inside his lab-coat pockets and said, “Let’s get this over with.”

Toward the back of the gymnasium was a padded floor filled with weights and exercise equipment that had been modified for testing the strengths and limitations of the zombies. The crew would harness the zombie’s arms and legs to the equipment with thick leather straps and observe them trying to push or pull free. Most of the time, the docile creature would just sit there hour after hour, gazing at nothing, but when the hunger came, the weights would begin to jerk up and down. The zombies were stronger than the average man, with the raw power of an athlete but unhindered by fatigue. He remembered one zombie pulling an entire machine over on top of itself and laughing.

Weege’s ferret face was lit up with excitement.

“Here we are.”

They were standing in front of a window that was as black as night on the other side. Henry knew that the glass was at least three inches thick, but he still felt like it was going to break at any moment. A heavy door with a magnetic security lock glowed with a tiny red light. It didn’t give him any comfort. He began to thirst as he wiped the steamed-up lenses of his glasses on his coat and put them back on.

“Okay, let’s see it.”
