Chapter 24

“Do you think we should go after him?” Marcy asked. It was the first time anyone had spoken other than warnings of ‘tree’ or ‘be careful’ in hours.

Daniel looked at her. “Who, Doug or Snead?”

She glared at him. “Brent! Do you think we should go after him?”

Daniel looked ashamed. “Sorry, I was thinking about going after Snead. I sort of thought you were asking that question, not about Brent.”

That made everyone stop. Jessica turned back. “You want to go after Snead? The man who just sent squads of highly trained killers after us, used nukes on us, and hopefully thinks we’re dead?”

“That pretty much sums it up.”

Jess smirked. “Just checkin’. I was thinking the same thing.”

Daniel brightened up. “Awesome! I think we should kill the fucker.” He looked at Jensen, “Don’t you?”

Jensen was slow to respond. He was thinking about the pain on his back and the pain in his knee. He was thinking about their long walk just to try to find food or water and to get away from their last known location in case Snead realized they were alive.

He was thinking about just trying to find somewhere quiet to recover and rebuild. Jensen sighed, “I don’t know. If he thinks we’re dead, maybe we should ‘be dead’ for now.”

Daniel rebutted. “But if he thinks we’re dead, maybe it’s the perfect time to go after him!”

Marcy seemed to agree with Jensen. “Maybe we should just lie low. We don’t even have what we need to survive right now, much less take on a guy with his own special forces.”

Daniel wasn’t convinced. “I think we need to kill him. I mean, the guy did murder most of the world.” He was met with blank faces. “Oh, I thought you realized. Snead was the guy that started the virus.” He waited while they mulled the idea over in their heads. “Really? You didn’t pick that up?” He waited but didn’t get a response. “He had the only working vaccine in the world. He nuked the place where he made the killer vaccine. He made it out of D.C. while most of the government got cooked. He has his own private army. He’s building a new capitol building in Georgia.”

Jensen stopped him. “Wait, the only working vaccine? What do you mean?”

Daniel looked at him. “Do you remember Rob saying the senator got them all vaccinated and none of them got sick? That means he had a working vaccine. It also means he had this private army last year, before the virus and before the nukes, otherwise how could he have vaccinated them to keep them from getting sick?

“That’s why the power is on down south. That’s why they have warehouses full of food and ration wagons. That’s why he tried to kill us, because we might be the only ones that know. Senator Snead murdered most of humanity.” He squinted a little bit. “You really didn’t know? Are you fucking with me?”

Jensen shook his head. “No, it seems pretty obvious, but I wasn’t even thinking like that.
