POLY WANTED TO RUN, SHE wanted to kill. They told her about stage five, but she never thought they would allow it to get to that point. “Wake up!” She slapped Joey in the face and had trouble not blaming him for their failure. If he hadn’t gone into his slow-mo crap, maybe they could have stuck to the plan better, placing that bullet in Marcus’s head. “Wake up.” She shook him and his head bounced off the dirt.

Crying, she fell onto his chest. She couldn’t lose Joey. If he ever got up from this, she was going to get those bracelets back and chain them to his wrists. The fool!

“I need to get Hank back to Vanar,” Gladius said.

“I feel fine. Great, really,” Hank said touching the wound on his chest. “Doesn’t even hurt.”

Gladius sighed. “You’ll be dead in under an hour if I don’t get you to Sanct.”

Poly jerked at this information, looking to Gladius. “Minter’s getting the van.”

As the van drove up to the house, dust settled around Joey, making Poly sob again. It only served to remind her of the dust grave they gave Compry and Nathen on the roof tops of Vanar.

How much could she keep giving before she broke? She shook Joey again. “You better not die on me. If you leave me, I’ll hunt you to the ends of existence. I need you.” She held his hand to her lips and kissed it.

Someone touched her shoulder and she glanced up to find Minter. He glanced at her and then to Joey. “He’s tough,” his voice cracked. “Help me get him to the van.”

Once they were all situated, Minter slid the side door closed and hopped into the driver’s seat.

“Where is she now?” Poly asked Julie.

“Edith and Evelyn are both nearing the stone. I think they must have had a helicopter.”

“We left Emmett back there,” Gladius said. “I told you we should have killed him on the spot.”

“We aren’t like that,” Hank said and shot a look at Minter.

Minter shook his head. “He’s with Marcus. I think he’s the one who took her while we were messing around inside. I think this whole thing was a distraction and set up from the beginning.”

“Was my bullet in his back a distraction?” Gladius said.

“We should have poisoned the bullets,” Poly added. “Can you drive faster?”

“Yes, ma’am,” Minter said and pushed on the pedal.

The van bounced hard and Poly kept her hands on Joey, keeping him from falling to the floor.

In thirty-two minutes, they arrived at the gates of Zach’s burnt down home. Maybe in years past—before the Cough—the house would have been immediately demolished. But the world no longer cared if a house sat in a pile of blackened sticks. It cared about getting food out to the masses and making sure they were prepared for the next epidemic. And who was the person to supply the world with the technology to facilitate these needs? Marcus Malliden, of course.

“How long has it been since they jumped?” Poly asked.
