ELEVEN

The sound of intermittent dripping rouses me slowly from sleep and I look up to see that I’ve been hooked back up to the IV. My vision is blurred and I battle with lingering grogginess as I try to lift my head, but it is easy to see that I am still stuck in the same room. I shift in the bed and hear the hiss of the motors beneath me to compensate for my weight change.

“Hey!” Flynn whispers to me in the dark. There is a single light shining from somewhere down the hall, but it is dim enough to allow me to see without causing any major discomfort. “Are you still breathing over there?”

“Sadly, yes.” I groan as I try to bend my right knee to ease the tingling and am instantly reminded that I’m restrained. “What happened?”

“That doctor knocked you out good and proper.” He pauses for a second and I know that he’s trying to work up to something but seems unsure of how to spit it out. “That was some pretty scary stuff that he was talking about earlier, though, right? Do you think any of that talk about the rabies virus and someone attacking the world the purpose is really true? I mean...it can’t be, can it?”

Staring up at the ceiling as I try to collect my thoughts into something resembling logic, I don’t really know what to think. Doctor Wiemann is no doubt certifiable, but he didn’t come across as anything more than brilliantly deranged and eager to make a name for himself in this new and twisted world. I saw the truth of it in his eyes, but to think that someone would willingly unleash such a thing on the world is unthinkable.

“Avery? Are you still awake?” He calls from the other side of the curtain.

“Yeah. I’m just thinking, Flynn.”

“I did a lot of that too. Not much else to do around here, you know? That can really get you in trouble, especially when I start to think about my home.”

“Where are you from?”

“Not here, that’s for sure!” I hear the rattling of his handcuffs as he rolls over. “I’ve bounced around a lot. Started out up near Maine and slowly worked my way south with a group. We got ambushed not far from DC and I took off with a couple of friends and my parents. There were a few doctors with us, so people liked to have them around. We made it all the way down to Virginia Beach before the raiders caught up to us.”

“What happened?” I try to shift so that I can get a better view of the hallway through the crack in my curtain but realize that my neck bracing is pulled one belt buckle too tight for that.

“We lost most of the group. Some were taken, but others died in the crossfire. After that, we ended up down in Charleston for a while. My mom and pops worked in the hospital there. The military grunts forced us to go through blood testing each day just to make sure we were clean.
