Chapter 10
We ran across the roof of the house next to Jimâs and then crossed another ladder bridge to another roof. Thatâs when the familiar smell of a backyard barbecue blew past us on the breeze. It wasnât mesquite wood slowly roasting beef, but was the smell of lighter fluid burning off as it started a fire.
Looking toward Darleneâs house, I saw a brilliant sheet of orange flames through the intervening trees. The back wall of her house was engulfed.
Stopping for a breather, Jim pointed at Darleneâs house. âThatâs a shame. Those degenerates arenât going to have any trouble lighting up that old wooden clapboard on all of these old houses.â
I looked at the flames and shook my head. âI donât understand.â I glanced at both Jim and Addy. âMy dad, heââ I pointed at my head, âhe got the virus nearly two years ago. Heâs degenerated. He couldnât start a fire if I showed him how.â
âSpeculation in the news is that the rioters arenât that far gone,â said Jim. âThey think itâs the ones who are still halfway smart that stir up the rest of them and get âem going. Theyâre the ones who start the fires. Troublemakers.â
âI smell lighter fluid,â said Addy.
âNo telling how far this will go.â Jim grimaced. âWe need to get away from here.â
Looking at the trees growing up between this house and the next one in line, I saw yet another ladder crossing the gap. âHow far can we go before we have to go down to street level?â
âDown to the end of the block,â said Jim. âSix more houses.â
âIs that far enough?â It was a stupid question. None of us knew how far the rioters were spread out, but they sounded like they were down there, too.
Jim said, âWe canât know how many houses theyâre going to burn.â
âDo you have a getaway plan?â I asked.
Jim nodded once and then shook his head. He cast a long, worried look down the street in the direction we were heading. His face showed the depth of his worry. He had a daughter to protect and apparently no good way to do it.
