Chapter 13

Thoughts of my conversation with Thompson played continuously in my head. How could I have been so wrong about him? Should I tell the others what he told me? They needed to know our situation. I told myself to relax and think of good things, my usual method of calming. It failed me this time and no matter what I did, I thought of Thompson and his words to me. When he was stronger, I would tell them and shame them all.

I got up to walk around, pacing helped me focus. Jones and Brittany were sleeping and Thompson was still out. I didn’t care to check on Charley, he was a monster. It was late in the evening when our break came. My heart fluttered when I scanned the area and saw our break.

It was not the break I wanted and I wished I were not a witness to the carnage that would follow. The sun was nearly down, its orange aurora low in the sky. I couldn’t see the distant road we needed to travel; houses blocked my view. However, I could see the nearby street and people, humans. They were running down the street as fast as they could. Running away from us.

“Hey!”

I stood so I could shout again and Charley tackled me. He put his hand over my mouth and pressed down hard. “Shut up!”

I struggled and managed to pull his hand away from my mouth. “What the hell are you doing?”

“You can’t bring them here.”

“What?”

“Your buddy,” Charley was livid. His face twisted into one of loathing. He jabbed his finger next to me at Thompson. “Your zombie friend was right about that.”

“So what?”

“Let them do their job. You call them this way and they will bring more zombies with them. We are trying to get rid of them, not attract them.”

“We can help them.” I snarled and twisted, trying to get to my feet.

“Let them go. With any luck, they will run far away and make it. But if they don’t, at least they will take every zombie with them and we can get the hell out of here.”

“You bastard!”

I couldn’t believe he would be willing to sacrifice helpless people. This is the same man who had been so nice in the past. How could he have changed so quickly?

“Zee,” Brittany’s sad eyes came beside me. “He’s right and so is Thompson. They are no different from any group of people. I’m sure there have been people who have seen us, but didn’t help. We were taking zombies away from them so they could survive. They are doing the same for us.”

“It’s not the same thing and you know it. What happened to you?”

“I’m surviving, Zee, and so are they. We are alive. Maybe at the end of the day, they will be alive, too.”

“That is bullshit and you know it.”

“People probably thought that about us and we are still here, Zee.”

Charley released me and I stood, defeated. I watched as six people ran down the street.
