Theresa paused for a few seconds, thinking it over. Then she unlocked the handcuffs–but didn’t take them off completely. Instead, she swapped them out for a thirty–foot rope and tied it between her and Quentin

Thirty feet. If he tried to run, she could teleport and catch him in two steps, tops.

That was as much slack as she was willing to give.

Once he was tied up, Quentin walked right over to the woman.

She didn’t back away. “We have lots of people! I can take you to them!”

Theresa followed close behind, listening carefully. Every time the woman finished a sentence, she gave the rope a little tug.

Quentin seemed to get the message. He kept the conversation going. “How many of you are there?”

“A lot, so many, the woman said, getting excited. “We’re all in the rooms–tons of us!”

“How’ve you been surviving this long?”

“We keep the doors shut tight. No noise. If we make a sound, they find us. So, we stay real quiet, hiding in our rooms.”

“What about food and water?”

“Oh, we’ve got plenty! More than we can finish.”

Theresa frowned.

From the sound of it, these people really might’ve survived.

If they’d stayed hidden deep in the building and had enough supplies, it was possible.

But something about it felt… off.

A whole group surviving in a hospital crawling with zombies, with plenty of food and water.

And this woman just casually wandered out to meet them.

She tugged the rope again, and clever Quentin changed gears. “So, what’s your name, beautiful? Are you a

“My name’s Sienna Larson. I’m a doctor.

“A doctor? But you’re in a nurse’s outfit.”

“My doctor’s coat gor dirty, so I put this on. Don’t I look like a nurse?”

“You do, beautiful Ms. Nightingale

At that, the woman turned and looked at him seriously. You’ve got the wrong person. My name’s not Nightingale.”

Quentin blinked, genuinely thrown for a moment–but quickly laughed it off. “Sorry. I’m just kidding”

The woman didn’t seem to care. She started mumbling to herself. There are so many people… They’re all my children. I’m so glad you came to save us. The monsters outside want to eat us every second. But now we’re finally saved…”

“You said there are a bunch of kids with you?” Theresa cut in

The woman turned to her. “Shh, don’t talk

Something about the way she turned her head sent a chill down Theresa’s spine.

Her whole face was hidden behind a mask, so Theresa couldn’t see her expression–but she could swear there was a cold, creepy smile underneath.

She stopped dead in her tracks.

Quentin stopped too.

But the woman got all worked up. “We’re almost there! The kids are just ahead! You have to take them with

you!”

She took off running toward the far end of the building.

This hallway led to another inpatient wing in the back. They could reach it through the corridor just

ahead.

Theresa watched her sprint off, but she didn’t move an inch.

Quentin actually turned back and walked to her.

“There’s something off about her,” he said. “Even if she’s a doctor, she should know who Nightingale is.”

Nightingale was the world’s first female nurse. People sometimes called dedicated, beautiful nurses “Miss Nightingale.”

Theresa gave a small nod.

“But she’s definitely human.”

“Yeah, she is, Quentin agreed.

He could always tell the difference between zombies and the living.

Just then, the woman came running back, eyes wide with panic. “Something’s wrong! The monsters are banging on my kids‘ door! Please, you have to help them!”

Theresa and Quentin rushed forward

As they turned the corner, they saw a few zombies staggering down the hallway in it

The zombies were pounding on a door, dressed in blue–and–white striped hospital gowns. They were hitting it so hard the whole frame shook–like it could give way at any second, and whoever was inside would be torn to pieces.

Theresa could almost hear children crying from the other side.

She picked up her pace.

The zombies sensed her coming and whipped around, fixing her with wild, feral stares.

Then, all at once, they shrieked and charged at her, howling as they flailed their arms and closed the

distance.
