This wasn't like the other times, with Trina, Mr. Wayne, Sam, or that fucking janitor. Sure, they had begged like Jeremy was doing but unlike those assholes, Ginger had nothing against this moron. She didn't hate him like she did the others. That's why Ginger hesitated. That's why she came up with this hair-brained escape plan.

"Get out of bed, you're coming with me", Ginger repeated when Jeremy didn't move. "What part of that didn't you understand?" She kept an avid ear pointed toward the door. Since becoming infected her senses had increased greatly, especially her hearing. Ginger could hear a pin drop two rooms away. Well, maybe it wasn't that good but Ginger was certain she'd hear Jeremy's mother coming down the hallway.

"I can't. I'm hurt", Jeremy replied.

"You'll live", Ginger snapped. "Besides, I'm not giving you a choice here. If you want to keep breathing dickhead you better get your ass out of bed." Jeremy hesitated before finally climbing out of bed. "Smart boy", Ginger commented as she watched him, relieved to see that while Jeremy was weak he was still able to walk. "Now put on some pants and let's go".

"Why should I?" Jeremy asked, his tone a little defiant.

"Maybe you're not so smart", Ginger muttered. "Because Jeremy, what attacked you wasn't human and come next full moon i you /i won't be so human either". Oops. Maybe that was too much information. Jeremy was staring at Ginger with open shock spread across his face.

"You're kidding".

Ginger rolled her eyes. "Nope, it's all true and yes, you're royally fucked. Unless you come with me. Now." She expected more protests, for Jeremy to deny the truth but the gonad surprised her by quickly and quietly getting dressed. Jeremy grabbed a few things from one of the drawers before facing Ginger as he hauled on his shoes.

"Now what?"

"There's an emergency exit down the hall. We'll walk there casually and you'll keep your mouth shut, understand? Once we get outside we get the fuck out of here. Then you are going to help me find Brigitte". It sounded easy in Ginger's head but she was smart enough to know it would hell on earth trying to find her sister.

And there's that other wolf to worry about...
