Ryan was the first to react. He laughed nervously, shaking his head. “Okay, wow. That’s the best mind-fuck we’ve had in a while. Points to Cole.”

“I don’t think she was kidding,” said Elsa.

“We haven’t answered the scenario yet, guys,” said Mike. He picked up the recorder, cradling it in his hand. “Do we call the government and die, or do we condemn millions of people because we’re too chicken to pick up the phone?”

“Dude, did you really sleep with Sandi?” asked Ryan.

Mike didn’t answer.

“Won’t calling the government mean killing even more people?” asked Andy. “She said the second virus was worse.”

“We don’t know that,” said Mike. “Maybe there’s only one virus.”

“Because Cole was always an underachiever,” scoffed Ryan. “If she says there’s a second virus in the scenario, there’s a second virus in the scenario. I’m just not buying the idea that it’s real life.”

“Are you willing to risk it?” asked Elsa.

“We’re not risking anything,” snapped Sandi. “It’s a game. It’s a stupid game, and that’s all it’s ever been, and that’s all it’s ever going to be. Stop taking this so seriously. Cole’s just messing with us. That’s all.”

The doorbell rang.

Silence fell again, thick and heavy as a curtain going down. Elsa looked around the group, meeting everyone’s eyes in turn. Then she slowly pushed her chair back from the table, stood, and walked to answer the door.

She was halfway across the room when the person outside began to cough.
