A police doctor went back in the ambulance with the boy. They still called him “the boy” because he had been unable to tell them his name.

He had done nothing but scream until the ambulance had arrived. The U.S. Army Bioterrorism Response Force soldiers in their black combat biosuits must have looked a fearsome sight to a half-drowned, terrified four-year-old.

So far, he was the only known survivor of the calamity that had embraced the city, but as an eyewitness he was useless. Only two coherent words had come from the terrified little boy the entire time, and they made little or no sense at all.

“Jerryfish,” the boy had screamed over and over. “Jerryfish! Jerryfish!” and “Snowmen!”

The “jerryfish” was the most confusing. It seemed he was saying “jellyfish,” but there was no rationale in that. Jellyfish were saltwater creatures and the boy had been found in a freshwater stream.

But the word “snowmen” had Crowe worried. A white biosuit could be mistaken for a snowman, particularly by a young boy. If he had seen terrorists in biosuits, that could well explain the “snowmen.”

“It’s starting to drift,” Manderson noted.

Already the WHANGAREI road sign had disappeared into the maw of the mist.

“I noticed,” Crowe replied. “It’s coming south. Get the men ready to evac.”

“A bit strange, don’t you think?”

“Strange, why?”

Manderson looked at him oddly. “The breeze is nor’east, Stony.”

Crowe peered up at the leaves on the branches of some nearby trees. It was true, he realized with a profound horror. The fog was coming south.

But the wind was blowing the other way.
