“We’re going to have to ration it,” mumbled Shawn. We all stared at the canned and boxed goods we’d organized on one of the shelves in the back room. Robby’s full deep freeze sat plugged in beside the fridge which was almost bare. Though the second truck’s raiding party had done slightly better than ours, it hadn’t been much more fruitful. Jenny’s house had been broken into as had Shawn’s and Jason’s. The only food they’d been able to salvage had been from the twins’ apartment and Robby’s house.

“I’m getting hungry just thinking of having to go on rations,” complained Brent. Though his brother didn’t voice his opinion, it was clear by the look on his face that he was in the same boat.

Lizzy’s gasp immediately turned my attention to Max.

“Bad, neutral, or comfortable, Maxy?” I watched as his eyes narrowed and his body stiffened.

“Bad. Very bad.” He shut his eyes and I frowned.

“You okay?”

He shook his head and went to stand by the far wall, his entire body trembling.

“Holy fuck! Dude, there’s five of them out there!” Grant was standing on a crate and looking out of the space we’d left in the windows.

Brent was at the other window. “Lane, dude, what do you want to do?”

Lane was staring at me, tense. We all watched as the door handle rattled.

“I have to… I don’t know what I have to do.” Max stood plastered against the wall.

“Shit. Maxy, what’s wrong?” The Yellow Eyes forgotten, I rushed to his side. My hand touched his arm and I swore again. “He’s burning up! Lizzy, get me a wet cloth.”

I looked up at Lizzy’s whimper. She gaped at us, shaking her head.

“Lizzy!”

Jenny ran to the mop room, grabbed one of the cleaning rags, wet it, and ran it back to me. “I’ll get him some water.”

I thanked her and pressed the cloth to his forehead. His teeth rattled and sweat beaded his brow.

“Oh, god, it hurts, Gabs.” A sob raked through him and he groaned.

“What hurts? Where does it hurt?”

His silver eyes met mine. “Everywhere.” He wiped the tears from his face with his arm but couldn’t keep up to the flow of them. Another spasm took him and he paled.

Lane knelt beside me. “Is it like before?”

Max shook his head. “No. Yes.” He groaned. “Yes, but worse.”

Lane looked at me. “Maybe it’s because they’re close.”

“They were just as close when they walked by the store,” countered Shawn.

“Oh, god, make it stop!”

All of us jumped and a few of us screamed as one rifle went off and then another. Brent and Grant reloaded and fired out the window a second time. I turned back toward Max as Grant took the last shot.

“Did you get them all?” questioned Robby.

The twins were pale and were staring at each other.

Brent managed a nod. “Is Max okay? Did it help?”

Maxy groaned and slid sideways down the wall so that he lay in a ball on the floor.

My throat tightened. “Oh, my god, Lane…”

“Aaarrrrgh!” Max opened his eyes and I gasped.
