When he remembered the bite mark on Riley’s legs; and when he saw Kesha, the child of the new world, he felt a knot tightening around his stomach.

Cody knew exactly what he had to do.

EPISODE FORTY-NINE

THE ROAD AHEAD

(THIRD EPISODE OF SEASON NINE)

Prologue

Siobhan felt a smile stretch across her face when she saw the walls ahead.

It was the middle of winter and it was the coldest day Siobhan could remember. The nights were drawing in, gradually getting darker. She could see her breath frosting in front of her as she walked, and could hear the grass crumbling under her feet, frozen with ice. It had been a tough trek. Perhaps the toughest stretch of her journey to date.

But the knowledge that they were reaching the end of it. The knowledge that something good was ahead; something that could offer them hope, salvation… that made the weather irrelevant, and made the long, impossible journey seem so worth it.

She felt her son’s hand tightening against hers. Bobby had been such a good kid throughout this whole ordeal. He’d seen some horrible things. He’d been through some horrible things.

The most horrible thing of all was the bite.

The bite that, theoretically, should’ve ended his life.

But it hadn’t. For some reason, Bobby hadn’t turned.

It’d been four weeks now, and still he hadn’t turned. And as the days went on, sometimes Siobhan wondered whether the infection had lost its effectiveness; whether it was no longer getting to people in the way it used to.

But she’d soon given up on that admittedly hopeful and optimistic viewpoint when she’d witnessed someone turning a few feet away from her.

She felt her stomach lurch as she walked and recalled that memory. She should’ve gone over and helped that man. And when he had been bitten, she should’ve at least done the decent thing and put him out of his misery.

But she’d been intrigued. Intrigued to know whether her son was just a one off, or whether there were others like him, too.

So she’d watched him suffer.

She’d watched him bleed out.

She’d watched and she hadn’t done a thing.

And as she’d watched, she’d wondered if she’d completely gone over the edge. If her humanity was gone completely.

When she saw the man turn, she wasn’t sure how to feel. Relieved? Disappointed?

No. None of that. Nothing mattered. Nothing was relevant.

Nothing but the walls right ahead of them.

“Is this it, Mummy?”

Siobhan looked at her son and she smiled. She didn’t want to excite him for no reason. After all, they’d encountered places like this in the past. Places that offered hope, that offered promise. But places that had ultimately failed to deliver on that hope for whatever reason.

They could’ve given up their hope after that. They could’ve cast all their optimism that there was something better out there away.

But they hadn’t.

They’d found the strength and the determination within themselves to keep on going.

And now they were here.

“Will there be nice people here?” Bobby asked.

Siobhan swallowed a lump in her throat. She was torn between being honest and between being optimistic.
