Chapter 30

We return to the city in subdued silence. Well, not exactly silence. One of the Primitives we captured is tied up in the trunk of the car. It's making an unholy amount of noise. Banging on the trunk, letting out bellows of rage through the hood we wrapped around its head.

"You want some jerky?" Skye asks, her tone bored.

I nod and reach for it. I'm not particularly hungry, but this woman has never offered me anything before, let alone sustenance. With her, I'll take anything and everything I can get. Today, the zombie fight has put her in a good mood. Made her forget how angry she was over our sexual encounter.

It's now past midnight and we're looking at a few more hours of driving. The night is clear and the road is illuminated by a bright moon. The two cars behind us follow close. None of us have working lights, so they rely on the lead vehicle to guide them safely across the countryside toward Sanctuary.
