Chapter 35
Katelina and Jorick drove through the silent dead streets, until they came to what looked like an abandoned warehouse. The rusted aluminum monster squatted among weeds. Its broken windows were like shiny teeth that gleamed in the streetlights.
Jorick parked the vehicle and Katelina followed him across the ruined parking lot. He moved as a shadow, swift and silent, as he slipped towards the building. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't imitate his quiet tread as she picked her way through the undergrowth and broken beer bottles.
They reached the door to the warehouse and she nervously traced the peeling paint with her eyes. Jorick glanced around once to make sure they were alone and then tugged the door open. It stood like a yawning black mouth and Katelina suddenly wondered if maybe she should have stayed behind, but she didn't have long to contemplate it. Jorick plunged inside and she had to follow him hurriedly or risk being left behind.
