Hank was dead. His body lie on the living room floor, slumped against the wall that his blood splatter now decorated. The rest of his blood leaked out the hole in his chest. Jan sat on the floor on the other side of the room, her arms wrapped around her knees as she rocked back and forth. Angela sat next to her, the gun still in her hand. Next to him, Maura let out an appreciative whistle. “Good job, kid. Saved me the trouble.”

Hal lowered his bag to the floor and rushed over to Angela, kneeling before her to check her over for signs of injury. She seemed fine. Her skin was unmarred. She wasn’t crying.

“I had to kill him,” she said, her voice soft. “He hurt Jan, and he wanted to take me away from you.”

Angela met his gaze then and he saw it in her eyes that there was more she had to tell him, but not then, not with others around.

He nodded his understanding and looked over at Jan. She was hurt. Various shades of blue and purple were starting to color the right side of her face and her lip was cracked down the center.

“I told you he shouldn’t have been left alone with them,” Maura snapped as she crouched down in front of Jan and checked her face. “We found some pain reliever. It’ll help. Is anything broken?”

“No,” the Asian woman answered in a timid voice. “He only hit me in the face and not much before Angela … stopped him.”

“Oh, that’s another thing,” Angela said. “Jan speaks English, and she likes to be called Janjai. Hank called her Jan. It’s kind of not really her name.”

Hal blinked a few times then shook his head as if that would sort out all the tangled thoughts inside it.

“It’s been a rough day, huh?”

“A strange one at that,” he agreed before standing back up and looking at Hank’s dead body. “We didn’t hear the shot. Must have been while we were busy fighting off our own battle.”

“You were attacked?”

“A zombie family, in one of the houses. We killed them all so no worries. We’re safe now.”

“Do you want me to leave?” Janjai asked, her voice small and afraid.

“Of course not,” Hal answered, turning around. He was surprised to see Maura glaring at him as if daring him to say otherwise. Did she really think he would kick Janjai out of their little group and have her fend for herself? “You’re with us, Janjai. We only kick out bad people and I don’t think you’re bad. Being with a bad person doesn’t make you what they are.”

She nodded her head and offered a small smile of thanks.

Hal reached his hands down to help both women up. Janjai accepted his help. Maura stood on her own.

“We found quite a few gallons of bottled water at the last house. Why don’t you two use some now to wash up? We still have some supplies we brought in from the van. Use those to patch yourselves up.
