“Pack your bags and try to take anything else that might be useful,” Sergio hissed as they made their way to their floor. “We’ll meet at Matthew’s room to plan our escape once we’re finished.”

“Got it,” Matthew said, before parting ways with the two. He had fire running through his veins. It felt as if they were really going to battle. He was nervous about the outcome, but still buzzing with excitement. It made his hands shake.

Matthew was surprised to see Crystal sitting outside his room, leaning up against the door. When he came into view, she popped up with a sheepish smile on her face.

“What are you doing here?” he asked coldly.

“I just wanted to make sure everything was okay,” she said, holding out an object draped in a kitchen towel. “I managed to snag an extra loaf of bread. I thought it would make up for the stupid jokes I made about your friend.”

Matthew scowled. Dinner had long been put out of his mind. It all seemed so trivial now.

“We’ve got bigger issues,” he said gruffly. He opened the door, and before he could slam it shut, Crystal slinked in after him.

He turned and stared at her. “What is it that you want from me?”

Her mouth gaped open, baffled by his sudden harshness. “I—I don’t understand,” she stammered. “Did something happen?”

Matthew scoffed and started pulling open dresser drawers, jamming t-shirts and socks into his bloodstained backpack.

“Were you sent to my room to spy on me?” he asked, taking a sip from the whiskey bottle before wrapping it in a pair of jeans for safe keeping.

“Spy? Now you’ve lost me. What the hell is going on?”

She said this so firmly that Matthew paused to look at her. She seemed genuinely confused and frustrated with his behavior. He took the bait.

“We just finished going on a lovely stroll with your mayor. I know you said this place was great, but I would have appreciated it if you would have told me what was really going on here. It would have saved us a bunch of time. In fact, we’d probably be back with our real friends by now, instead of fearing for our lives.”

“Did the zombies break through?” she asked, terror in her voice. She grabbed on to Matthew’s bicep.

“No, there are no zombies here,” he said, yanking his arm away. “You people might be scarier than the zombies. At least they’re unaware of what they’re doing.”

“Hey,” she barked, grabbing onto Matthew’s shoulders so he would stop gathering supplies. “Sit down and tell me what’s going on.”

“I’m sure you know.”

“I’m sure I don’t. You’re really freaking me out. What did the mayor tell you that upset you this much?”

Matthew sank into a chair while Crystal sat on the floor, crossing her legs underneath her.

“Let me ask you this,” Matthew said, trying to figure out where to even start. “Why do you think you’re so safe here?”

She furrowed her brow and thought for a minute. “I guess it’s probably because people here are rich and had the money to create defenses.
