Sloane tries to lead us to the car but I grab her arm and drag her away with me, finding time to hope in the frenzy that she just broke from the big picture, forgot that the front of the house is surrounded. That she wasn’t going to offer herself, like she tried to once before, back at the school. We stumble crazily through the backyard, headed for the woods ahead of us. I feel like we could lose them in the trees, like that would be enough to stop them. The infected give chase and I won’t look back, can’t. Hearing them is enough, a cacophony of breathless shrieking that all means one thing: mine, mine, mine.
“She must see something in you. Ainsley. Because she just—she really went inside herself after we lost him. I didn’t know a four-year-old could do that. That night she tried to give you the book, Lisa lost it. Told me we should keep you around because who knows, maybe she’d start talking again.” His voice cracks. “She’s got the sweetest voice.” “I’ll bet.” I rub the back of my neck.

“How long you been ready?” I ask. “Working on this since the towers fell,” Jess replies. “My father died that day.” “You were waiting for another terrorist attack?” “What makes you think this isn’t one?” he asks. He spoons some stew into his mouth, swallows, and shrugs. “I was waiting for SHTF. Could be a terrorist attack or civil war, government going crazy, the economic collapse, a pandemic. Everything but zombies.”
“Are they chasing something?” I ask. I step forward, trying to get a better look, but Jess holds his arm out, keeps me back. “It’s an animal, most likely.” “How do you know?” “If it wasn’t, we’d hear the screams.”
I know what Preppers are. I’ve seen those crazies on Discovery a few times. People getting ready for any kind of apocalypse like total ass—oh. Jess watches these thoughts cross my face, leans back looking all smug about it. “You think the people laughing at us then are laughing at us now?”
I’m so relieved but I try not to show it. I don’t want to make Jess feel bad that I still might have something when he just lost so much. That’s the worst kind of envy. I felt it when Sloane thought Lily was still alive. I didn’t want her to have it because I wanted it so badly for myself.
