Rosie said and sat down next to him

"Let me see" He took the clipboard and read over the names Since he both worked on the site and was from the town, he knew just about everyone on the list Forty-two na Travis and Katie, who technically weren’t in the fort anymore Fifteen construction workers, five city workers, That left twenty civilians, mostly family members of local construction workers or the city workers Well, excluding Chuck the truck driver and Jenni and Jason And the dog

He liked the dog

"It’s sad we don’t have hed and handed it back

"Well, the way I see it, people went to where they thought it was safe and where they could stay with their families My family was here, so I came here"

Juan save hiroup," Rosie said after a moment "Statistically, it came out just like the town population Sixty percent under the age of sixtytwo, forty percent over sixty-two Forty percent white, forty percent Hispanic, twenty-five percent black and five percent other"

"What the hell is other anyway?" Juan snorted with a save hi? Do we add him as other, because he is another species or as white, since he’s Gerraphic between men and women is really off Women only make up thirty percent of those here"

"Guess I won’t be dating any tirin

"It’s just sad that ere so ill prepared The city can only plan for things that seem plausible" She waved a hand "Zo"

"You were city secretary way too long, Moures on the town population "This isn’t your fault No one could have planned for this"

The present city secretary strolled in just then Peggy was her name and Juan liked her She was a late in lifeas sheto histo Rosie a few tier, and a tall black man in his late fifties The Mayor, real name Manny Reyes, filed in last He looked tired and worn around the edges He moved over to his desk and sat down All his Spanish blood o", but he loved Tequila as much as Juan did But whereas Juan knehat the hell was up, the Mayor did not

Manny ay too centered on being logical and finding exact answers

Juan knew that as going on was not that easy to fit into a neat little box Manny could understand

Tobias sat down in a chair, his brow furrowed, his gaze distant His as in the fort Juan had seen her narandchildren lived in the town They were not on the list

Peggy gently tried to pry her child off her and he only grabbed on tighter "He won’t budge"

The Mayor nodded "Okay Anyway, Travis says Katie still has a fierce fever He told me in no uncertain terms he plans to stay until she’s better or if she is infected to make sure she is at peace"

"He has it bad for her Too bad she’s gay," Juan said grumpily Travis was his best friend, but had this bad tendency to fall for unattainable women

His mother smacked him upside the head and he knew he deserved it

The Mayor blinked "Oh, then Jenni…" He sat still for athe pen "Oh, that ed "Anye need to prepare for their return"

Tobias slapped the palainst his knees and leaned forward "Hoe do that? The infected are filling that street Most of our townspeople are out there What we need to do is get ahold of the aret them out here to treat those people!"

"They’re dead You can’t treat the this conversation after all this time Some people took denial way too far

"That is a ridiculous stateet up, become rabid and attack people It has to be a virus like the CDC said in the beginning of all of this," Tobias said firmly

"They can’t be alive," Curtis said softly from near the door

"And why do you say that?" Tobias settled a fierce look on him

Curtis shrank under it, but answered, "Because so their innards on the road"

"Adrenaline does strange things to people If they have large a their system like the CDC said in the-"
