Master Notes:

Decent capture of this show. Whenever Terry Mann is on stage it's a fancam. The first 20 minutes are completely blindly filmed so i defaulted to wideshotting most of it. Due to usher activity a lot of the show is shot this way, whenever he left i could zoom and such, second big issue with this video is the obstruction. The people in front of me never stopped moving and they kept getting into my shot constantly so there is a lot of obstruction that i try my absolute best to avoid.Some washout, shakiness and readjusting throughout.

"Puppy Love" Chapter Thirteen: Zombie Road OR Gone Truckin’

cw: implied/referenced grooming, mention of alcohol abuse, minor character death

chapter thirteen: 5.4k words

You had been walking for miles in the Middle of Nowhere, Wyoming with what was left of Operation Bite Mark. You’d had to dump your van about a dozen miles back. Murphy was your prisoner, and he was not happy about it.

“We are going the wrong direction,” he said. “Again.” You rolled your eyes at the man, but he didn’t see you as he was walking ahead of you.

“You left us no choice,” Warren said. “Too much fallout in the West.

“Again: that was not my fault,” Murphy insisted. You snorted sarcastically.

“Murphy, don’t make me have to explain the term ‘failsafe doomsday weapon’ again. Please,” Doc verbalized what you were thinking.

“How do you even know California’s still there?”

“You’re looking ripe. You better hope it’s still there,” the bounty hunter who introduced himself as Javier Vasquez said. “Move,” he said as he pushed Murphy forward. Murphy turned to the other man, shooting him a look of bewilderment.

“You are not the boss of me,” Murphy said. “She is,” he said, nodding to Warren. Before Javier could escalate the situation, Warren stepped in.

“I can handle this.” She pushed Murphy the same way Javier had. “Move,” she said, in a nicer tone. Murphy complied. “You’ll get used to him,” Warren said.

“Unfortunately,” you mumbled. The eight of you—Warren, Javier, Murphy, Doc, Addy, Cassandra, 10K, and yourself—got a move on.

Not long after, your group climbed a hill overlooking a road. Warren borrowed 10K’s scope and saw something on the road. You stood to her right while 10K was on her left. You squinted out towards the road, cupping your hands around your eyes in mock-binocular fashion. “T, give me your goggles,” you asked him. He looked at you funny but handed them over. You placed them over your face, re-cupped your hands in binocular fashion, and peered out. “Nope, that didn’t work,” you decided. You pushed them up onto your forehead, and 10K tried to grab them back. You skirted out of his reach, with a teasing smile, and he gave up and rolled his eyes at you.

10K spoke up, asking, “What are we gonna do about her?” You didn’t need to look at him to know he was talking about Cassandra.

“Cassandra?” Warren asked as she looked over her shoulder. You followed her gaze to see Cassandra perching over Murphy, rubbing his shoulders and giving him a massage.

“She’s not Cassandra. Not anymore,” 10K said. You pushed down the urge to cry, knowing that the Cass you knew would have rather died than become whatever it was she now was.

“Maybe there’s a way back for her,” Warren said, “when we get to California.”

“Don’t get my hopes up, Warren. That’s just cruel,” you said, removing the goggles, giving them back to 10K, and walking away to stand near Doc.

“What’s up, darling?” he asked you. You just shook your head. He hugged you to his side, and you winced as he accidentally squeezed your bullet wound. 10K had wrapped it up for you, but it was still sore. Thankfully, it didn’t seem to need stitches. You weren’t sure you would have trusted Doc to stitch you up. The two of you and Addy rejoined Warren and 10K overlooking the hill. A monster semi-truck, decked out with all sorts of expansions and upgrades, was driving down the road. “Is that some kind of post-apocalyptic wagon train?” Doc asked.

“Well, it ain’t the 3:10 to Yuma,” Warren remarked sarcastically. You watched as they approached a flaming vehicle that you assumed to be abandoned. However, as they got closer, gunfire suddenly showered down on the truck and the cars that were following it. The truck veered to the left, off road, in order to avoid the bullets that ricocheted off the front of it. The truck stopped, and Warren said, “Don’t get out the truck.”

“It’s gonna be a slaughter,” Addy said. They were some of the first words she had said since you left Cheyenne.

“Can’t expect to travel through a valley without an ambush,” Murphy spoke up. “Didn’t nobody ever watch westerns growing up?” You ignored him and turned back to watch the road.

A man on a four-wheeler was coming up behind the truckers, meaning to surround them. The group of people from the truck, who had left the safety of their vehicles and were out in the open, began to return fire. Some of their men went down, and you felt the urge to help them. Eventually, the truckers fell back.

“Looks like they’re holding off, for now,” Doc said.

Warren chuckled. “Not bad, for a bunch of sitting ducks.”

“Well, you think we should—I don’t know—help them?” Doc asked. You nodded, but Javier came over and pushed 10K’s rifle away from Warren so that she could no longer see out the scope.

“Think less like a missionary and more like a mercenary. Let’s wait and steal the vehicles from the victor.”

“You’ve been here all of three hours, dude,” you said, frowning at him. He shot you a menacing look, but you didn’t back down. “Last I heard, Warren was in charge.”

“We may not be able to save the world,” Warren said, quieting you and ripping the rifle from his grasp, “but maybe we can save them.” He rolled his eyes but didn’t fight her. “10K and Vasquez, that way. Addy and,” she said your name, “you’re with me. Doc, you watch him and her,” she said, pointing a thumb towards Murphy and Cassandra. You all filed out, ready to follow Warren wherever she led you. You felt vindicated as Javier begrudgingly turned and went after 10K, shooting you one last stink eye as he went.

You, Addy, and Warren approached the truck and its inhabitants. Warren told them you were here to help, and the three of you hid to wait for the attackers to come over. One did, and Addy smacked him with her Z-whacker. “Good luck where you’re going,” Warren said as she shot him in the head.

You walked around the side of one vehicle’s trailer, only to find a handful of sick survivors in the bed. Radiation poisoning, it looked like. “I’ll get this,” Addy said. You and Warren nodded and left her to deal with them. The two of you approached the tractor of the semi-truck.

“On your toes, people,” the leader of the truckers said. “They’ll be back!” Javier joined you and Warren. It seemed that he and 10K had taken out or drove off the rest of the bandits. “Sam Custer,” the man introduced himself, holding his hand out to Warren to shake. She did so and introduced herself. “Your timing is what we might call fortuitous.”

“Sometimes things work out,” she said. You could tell you weren’t needed for the coming conversations, so you tapped Warren on the arm and nodded, indicating that you were going. She nodded back to you, patting your hand. You ignored Javier as you walked away.

Walking around the truck, you found Doc and 10K. Doc had been given a can of some sort of food and was eating it straight from the can with his fingers. Before you approached, you watched as a woman came over to offer them both water. She smiled at 10K in what looked like a flirtatious way to you. 10K just nodded and accepted the offered water, and she walked on, her smile dropping into a disappointed frown. You wondered why 10K hadn’t smiled back at her. A year ago, he would have, just like he did with that Brittany girl in Kansas. Back then, he was awe-stricken by any feminine attention poured his way. Still thinking about it, you walked up to the two men and sat down next to 10K. You poked him in the side as you did so, and he started, surprised to see you.

“Oh, hey!” he said as a slight pink tint bloomed on his cheeks. “I was just—” Doc cut him off.

“You’re a hero, kid!” He looked to Doc with a look in his eye that you couldn’t name.

Before you could ask about why 10K was a hero, some guy in a Hawaiian shirt and red jacket walked over. “You know,” he said to Doc, “you can have soup.” He pointed to the can in Doc’s hands. “You know, just add water.”

“Cream of ‘shrooms, dude. Water just dilutes the flavor.” You fake gagged at that, and 10K smirked at you, all sense of anxiety seemingly lessened. He leaned into your side.

“You sure you don’t want some? Either of you?” the man asked you two.

“I had minestrone loaf for breakfast,” 10K joked. You rolled your eyes and playfully pushed your shoulder into his. He shot you a smile, and there went the butterflies. Your face heated up, and you had to look away from him when he tilted his head in a question as though he noticed the blood rushing to your cheeks. You hoped that wasn’t the case. The two of you turned your attention to the man as he sat beside Murphy, who instantly told him to go away.

“So, darling,” Doc said to you, “what do you make of this set-up?” You turned back to him, and he and 10K were looking at you expectantly.

“It’s cool, I guess. But did you guys see? They have a whole wagon full of sick. I think we should just take whatever food they’re willing to share and get the hell out of here. I don’t know if I could handle more people right now. Javier’s enough as it is.”

“You got that right,” Doc said, nodding. “What’s his deal?”

“Men like that scare me.” You turned your head and looked into the distance, but you could feel as both of their gazes watched you intently.

“Luke?” 10K asked.

“He was a military man. Very tough, all business. But he had different sides to him—softer sides. The softness wasn’t exactly better.” You trailed off, still wary about your feelings regarding Luke and your relationship to him. 10K put his hand on your thigh, but when you jumped, he automatically removed it. You took a deep, relieved breath when you realized that it was a safe touch that you welcomed. You took his hand instead, holding it with both of yours and keeping it in your lap. You leaned over and laid your head on his shoulder.

“Who’s this Luke guy?” Doc asked as he slurped cream of mushroom off his fingers. “Wait, is that the man that showed you that porno?” You choked on saliva as the question startled you. You felt 10K’s head whip in your direction, and his eyes nearly bore a hole through your skull.

“What?” he asked, shocked. “What’s he talking about?” he said with some kind of gruffness in his voice.

“Say it a little louder next time, Doc,” you said. “It’s nothing.” You looked up into 10K’s eyes from your head’s spot on his shoulder. “He just happened to find a video store one day, and there happened to be an adult section and working video player. So, he brought it back and popped it in and showed me.”

“Why would he do that?” 10K asked.

“He thought it would be funny. Said my reactions were cute,” you mumbled that last part. How had you not seen before how weird that was? A grown man—who you’d only known for a couple of months at that point—showing a still teenage girl porn? Not okay. You wouldn’t have stood for it if someone did the same thing to Claire, the girl who had become like a sister to you when you stayed in Kansas for a few years during Black Summer.

“If I ever meet this guy…” 10K growled. Your eyes widened as you lifted your head from his shoulder. You could feel his hand shaking in your lap. You’d never seen him like this before.

“I’m okay, T,” you told him. “He’s long gone.” You stared into 10K’s big eyes, and he stared back into yours. It seemed to soothe him a bit, and it soothed you even more so. You were happy to have someone like 10K in your life, even if it was just as friends, though you wanted something more.

“What a weirdo. Sorry, darling,” Doc said, rubbing his neck and looking away.

Eventually, it was time to head out. You and 10K were sitting in the makeshift crow’s nest on the body of the semi-truck. Murphy and Doc were getting high in a car with the red-jacketed man—Wrecking Ball, you’d heard him referred to as—from earlier. You could smell the weed from where you were sitting. “Have you ever smoked weed?” you asked 10K, out of the blue. He looked at you with an amused smirk.

“No. I’d never even smoked a cigarette or had a drink until all this,” he said, gesturing vaguely to the apocalypse. “Ma wouldn’t have liked it. You?”

“I drank some. Not a whole lot because I rarely went to any parties, but I’d sneak some here and there. But once the first Z’s started turning, I got into some stuff.”

“What do you mean?”

“I was in a supermarket on day one,” you told him. “Was stranded there for months. Eventually, other customers left, but I stayed because of the huge supply of food, right? Got lonely. The wines were my favorite, but I liked to mix rum and cokes sometimes, when I was feeling extra doomed. It was nice, you know? To have something to take me away from all this shit. But one day, I got drunk. Like could barely get off my ass type of drunk. A Z found its way in, and I almost died. I try not to drink much after that.”

“What about the country club?” he asked.

“That stuff was good. Would’ve been rude not to drink it. Paid the price for that though, didn’t I?”

“What about Kansas? The shooting competition.” You paused, remembering.

“That was only one drink! I was…upset. You weren’t talking to me, remember?” you told him.

“I drove you to drink? Break your sobriety?” He looked genuinely distraught at the thought.

“No!” you giggled slightly, at which he frowned. “It was just one drink! I wasn’t exactly ‘sober’ either because I wasn’t exactly addicted.” He lightened up a bit at this, but the next thing you said deflated him even more so. “You know, Luke was an addict. Didn’t have much opportunity to drink, though, so he was mostly sober. But his friend, Jeff, started making moonshine one day. I didn’t like Luke when he drank.” You thought about the way he would yell and throw things, the way he would touch you. You snapped out of it, shaking your head. You hadn’t meant to darken the mood twice in one day, three times if you counted your outburst about Cassandra earlier. “Shit, sorry,” you said as you wiped at your eyes. You were surprised to find that there were no tears there. “Huh.” You turned to him, and he was looking at you. “You’re just really easy to talk to, T. Thanks.”

“For what?”

“For being there.” You hesitated. “For being my friend.” You could’ve sworn you saw the smallest glint of disappointment in his eyes. Did he not want to be your friend? No, surely, he would have said something. He leaned in closer to you, and your eyes widened. He looked serious as though he was about to confess something, but the sound of the man in the tractor, telling you to roll out, distracted him. He shook his head, and that was that.

Driving along down, you were greeted by the gruesome sight of bodies littering the sides of the road. Their faces were completely ripped off, exposing the bloody skulls underneath. Warren asked the truck driver about them, and he informed her of a new mutation of zombies that they called blasters. She relayed the information to you, telling you that they had been killed or changed by the nuclear blasts. You kept a sharper eye out for them.

Javier was the first to spot one. “Warren, blasters!” he called out as he lifted his gun. She lifted her own gun.

“Where?” she asked. “Where?” You looked out, but you couldn’t see anything. They couldn’t either, anymore.

“I’m glad I’m not on foot,” Javier remarked. It was the first thing he’d said that you agreed with. Then, there it was. The blaster made an appearance, and Warren and Javier wasted multiple bullets shooting at it. Not one bullet knocked it down, and it crab-walked away. Weird, you thought as a shiver ran down your spine.

10K spotted another one farther down the road—or was it the same one? He shot at it with his sniper rifle and missed. Those things were fast. He shot twice more, the second shot taking it down. You hollered in celebration, and he looked back at you with a smile.

“Three thousand ninety eight,” you both said in unison.

“You’re one hell of a shot,” a female voice shouted to him. You stood up from your seated position in the crow’s nest to look at who had complimented 10K. She was probably the prettiest girl you’d seen in all the apocalypse, with her painted face and flowing dress. 10K just nodded at her but didn’t say anything. He sat back down, and you turned and did the same.

“She was pretty,” you said, fishing to see what he thought. He shrugged. “I think she likes you,” you teased, toeing him with your boot from across the nest. He rolled his eyes at you.

“Not interested,” was all he said.

“And why’s that?” you asked, genuinely curious as to why he wouldn’t be interested in a pretty girl that liked him.

“Not my type,” he said. As he said it, he eyed you up and down and licked his lips. It was an involuntary tic of his, but it seemed especially intentional this time. Before you could ask him what was his type, two more bandits on bikes rode by. 10K fired at them, but they were driving too fast and shooting all the way, so he couldn’t knock either one down.

Warren went to the tractor and spoke to the driver, and the truck sped up. The sudden change in speed lurched you forward, and you fell into 10K’s lap. “Sorry!” you said as you scrambled up. He steadied you and went back to firing out of your shared crow’s nest. You watched as Warren headshot one of the bandits. More gunfire came from somewhere you couldn’t see, and Warren asked where they were coming from. You ducked down into the bottom of the nest as 10K, Warren, and Javier continued shooting.

You peeked over the edge and noticed that the rest of your herd, including Doc, Addy, Murphy, Cassandra, two cars, and a truck full of sick, had all fallen back. “10K!” you called. “Doc!” You pointed, and 10K looked through his scope. It seemed two four-wheelers of bandits had taken control of one of the cars—the one Doc was riding in.

“Take cover!” 10K yelled out. The pretty girl in the vehicle behind you didn’t listen. She shot at the bandits as they passed, but one shot back and hit her square in the forehead.

“Oh, shit!” you yelled as you ducked back down, covering your head with your arms. 10K continued shooting. You felt the truck speed up, and you held on tight. Then, just as fast as it had started speeding, the truck came to a rolling stop. As it did so, 10K pulled you to your feet, and the two of you looked at the dead body of the pretty girl. “Goddamn it,” you muttered, upset at the loss of life.

You watched as two men pulled her corpse from off the top of the vehicle. They wrapped her up and carried her off the road and into the field. 10K stayed in the nest as a sniper, even though the bandits were long gone, but you climbed down. You felt wrong just standing around, so you went to help with the burial. You used your hammers to make a wooden cross out of two pieces of plywood. You used a throwing knife to carve her name into it—ATHENA. It was about as good of a grave marker as you could get. While her grave was being dug, you picked some dandelion weeds to use as a flower bouquet. You placed them in her hands, already growing cold. You stood by as they buried her, but you left as they began to offer words to her grave. You didn’t want to intrude.

You were making your way back to your group when the lead trucker—Custer—pinned Wrecking Ball to the truck. You watched as Custer cussed him out. “You were supposed to protect that car! And her! That’s Athena!” he said as he pointed back to her gravesite.

“Oh no, no,” the other man whined. “She was my friend! She didn’t like me, but she wasn’t mean to me either.”

“Look at me,” Custer said, forcing the younger man to focus. “Two mothers. Two daughters. They die of starvation; they turn Z!” It seemed to be some sort of riddle. “Athena’s dead! I can’t think straight.”

“What happens after five minutes of—” Doc cut Custer off as he had just began his ranting and raving of riddles.

“Look man,” Doc said, “things got pretty heavy back there.”

“Hey, pipe down hippie!” Custer said. You scrunched your forehead at that. You wanted to intervene, but what could you do? Warren approached the small group, and you stayed behind to watch from a safe distance. “If the radiation gets the better of you, you’re a threat to the whole group.”

Wrecking Ball pleaded with Custer, but the latter man banished him to the medical wagon to be with the ill people. “Check yourself, Custer,” the younger man said. “You don’t look so good.”

You watched Warren deal with Custer—telling him it was time to move out. You climbed up onto the truck, ignoring the hand Javier offered you. When 10K offered you a hand to get back into the crow’s nest, however, you took it. He helped pull you up, clasping your hands in his. He was careful not to pull too hard on your wounded arm. You noticed the muscles in his arms bulge, and you couldn’t help but realize that you liked the way it looked. He wasn’t a very big guy, more lanky than anything, but he had gotten stronger over the course of the year you both had been with Operation Bite Mark. Every day, he was growing more and more past young manhood and into a man-man. Your face heated up at the thought as you remembered the cute boy you had first met, not too long ago, and you compared him to the one in front of you now.

Once he pulled you into the nest, before you could even say “thank you,” he whipped his rifle out and shot at a blaster that was running towards the vehicles. When his bullet missed, that blaster and some of its friends attempted to make their way past the barricade separating all of you from them. One did, and it jumped on and attacked Javier. Warren was able to get one shot out on it which jolted it off him. It seemed to give up then, and it ran back the way it came.

Warren pulled Javier up from the ground. She then commanded Custer to get moving, and she yelled out, “Let’s go!” Once the truck was moving again, you finally allowed yourself a moment to breathe.

It wasn’t long until Custer slowed the truck down to a stop. He had spotted his lost car that the bandits had taken. You looked out of the crow’s nest, 10K peering through his scope, and all you were able to see was a bloody mess. “Cassandra,” he said. He handed you his rifle and allowed you to look through it yourself. You did so, and you saw what he had seen. Cassandra, heaving and covered in blood, standing over the mutilated corpses of what you could only assume were the bandits. Once the truck came to a complete stop, the two of you ran down to greet her. “Cassandra!” 10K repeated as you approached.

You took her face in your hands, but she didn’t look at you. “Cass? Are you in there?” you asked. It was a rhetorical question. A small part of you had hope, but most of your thoughts were forcing you to accept the reality that the Cassandra you knew was dead. And Murphy had killed her. You pulled her into a hug, not caring that you would get covered in blood, and you sobbed into her shoulder.

Doc came over and winced as he walked around the two of you. “You got a little something right here,” he said as he pulled an axe from her back.

“Does it hurt?” 10K asked her.

“Could use more Z weed,” she slurred. It was all you had heard her say since you found her after the blasts. You didn’t even know she could still talk.

“Okay, okay, yeah. Z weed. Whatever you need,” you said, nodding and pulling yourself away from her. You wiped your eyes with the backs of your hands. “What’s Z weed?” You turned to Doc. “That stuff you were smoking wasn’t regular pot?”

“Not exactly,” he said. All of a sudden, Cassandra seemed to come to out of her inebriated state. She made a beeline for Murphy. You sneered as she hugged him. She hadn’t hugged you back. But she hugged him.

“Do you think Cassandra’s more dead than alive?” 10K asked you and Doc.

“You mean is she more Z than a person?” Doc clarified.

“Yeah. I guess.”

“I don’t know, kid. She kind of comes and goes.”

“Whatever she is,” you said, still sniffling, “she’s not the same Cassandra we knew.” You stomped back to the truck. When you climbed into the crow’s nest once more, helping 10K as well, the two of you sat in silence as you waited for the trucks to start moving again.

Unfortunately, just as Warren had compromised with Custer and decided that she would drive the newly retrieved car, you all watched as it sped off down the road. A single, blue hand waved back at you out the driver’s side window, and you could see Cassandra in the backseat. Everyone piled in, and the truck pulled off. You had to hurry after them if you wanted any chance at catching them before the blasters got to them.

You were alerted to Addy’s endangerment when you heard the sounds of a struggle coming from the medical wagon. You could only assume that meant one thing—the sick had turned. “T!” you tapped him to get his attention.

“Got it!” he said when he heard. He expertly jumped from the crow’s nest and climbed over the junker trucks the semi had been hauling. You couldn’t see him as he climbed over into the medical wagon, but you knew it would do no good to just sit there. You climbed out of the nest and told Warren and Javier about the situation. Warren continued to yell at Custer to keep going, just as you saw Addy and 10K maneuver their ways around the trucks. There was a mean looking blaster after them—one that you’d seen before. The rest weren’t far behind. Doc was in one of the junkers, and he was insisting that he had a handle on things. It seemed he was right as he let out a shot, and the blaster flew off the truck. You urged your friends along, pulling them up and over whatever obstacles were in their way. The four of you hid on the other side of the crow’s nest.

“Hey, are we slowing down?” Addy yelled over the sounds of Javier’s gunfire.

“We need to not slow down!” Doc said. 10K let out a shot, right by your and Doc’s ears. He hit one, but there were still too many. They broke into a car and ate the woman sitting inside.

“Everybody, hang on to something!” Warren called, and you did as she ordered. She pulled herself around the tractor of the truck and got inside. You knew what she was doing as soon as the truck began to speed up to a level you hadn’t known it could reach. You felt a rough jolt from impact as Warren rammed the truck through a barrier that had been blocking the road. You held on tight and were able to steady yourself from falling off the side.

As the Z’s continued to approach, Addy said, “Doc, let me see your gun.” He handed it to her, and she mercied one of the Z’s that she had gotten to know. Javier shot at another blaster and hit it in the shoulder. This only seemed to enrage it further. Its eyes were wild in a way you had never seen in another Z before. Then, Warren was honking the horn, and Addy was telling you all to move it.

Warren opened the door and jumped out, hitting the ground and rolling. “Hang on, Roberta!” Doc called. 10K was to your left, and Addy was to your right, and you were holding both of their hands. Addy held onto Doc. Javier yelled for you to jump before doing so himself. You tossed your things off, and you looked to each other and braced yourselves before jumping.

When you hit the rough, dirt ground, the wind was knocked out of you. The concussion you were still recuperating from was pounding in your head. Your arm ached. The world spun as you stood, and you fell back onto your knees. 10K helped you to your feet and steadied you with both arms. You were dizzy and there was a sharp pain behind your eyes, but you were alive and off that zombie train. You watched as it continued barreling down the road, farther and farther away.

You collected your things and rejoined Warren. “I’ve never jumped from a moving vehicle my whole life,” Doc said as he rubbed his clearly hurting shoulder, “and now, boom. Twice in one day.” The truck’s horn sounded, but it was prolonged rather than coming out in short spurts. You could only infer what that meant.

You all walked across the road to where the medical wagon had been cut off from the main truck. It was, thankfully, zombie-free. “You sure about Minneapolis?” Warren asked Addy as you approached the vehicle.

“Wrecking Ball was going on about some herbal cure for the zombie virus being cooked up in an old genetically modified food lab out there.”

“Hold on,” Doc cut in. “Marijuana, zombies, and GMOs. What could go wrong?” You chuckled, and 10K opened the driver’s side door, only to be met with the dead body of one of the truckers you had been with.

Javier was jumpy and pointed his gun at the body, but it looked to have already been mercied. “You people really do attract it, don’t you?” he asked.

“Victim blaming’s a bad look, sir,” you told him as you crossed your arms. 10K just stared at him in silence. Javier rolled his eyes at you and asked 10K to help him with the hitch of the vehicle. “Passing on the girl to get help from a big, strong boy?” you called after them, mocking the sexism you had seen in your childhood classrooms from teachers. 10K shot you back with a smirk that sent the butterflies fluttering in your stomach, but Javier didn’t acknowledge your attempt at riling him up.

The truck exploded, out of sight, just down the road. “A caravan of twenty refugees leaves Seattle’s blast zone for Edmonton. They meet seven survivors and one Murphy. How many refugees survive?” Warren asked, mimicking the riddles that Custer would ask. As she and Doc walked off, you stayed with Addy.

“Not one,” she said.
