Chapter 10:

SHANE

Only a week had passed since I got out of the hospital, and the zombies were out on the street. There were news reports of people going missing, left and right. We got a letter in the mail.

RESIDENTS OF MORGANVILLE:

New laws have been issued by the Founder. Anyone breaking or disturbing these laws will be fined or imprisoned. DO NOT leave your home after sunset. DO NOT allow anyone in your home after sunset. Make sure all doors, windows, etc. are locked before sunset. Again, anyone not abiding these rules will be fined or imprisoned.

-MORGANVILLE COUNCIL

I handed it to Claire, who was sitting on the couch with Eve. She read it faster than it took me to hand it to her and looked up at me, the bruises on her face barely fading. Eve snatched from her and when she was done she handed it to Michael.

"What do we do?" Eve asked.

"Well, what can we do?" I asked, sinking down next to Claire. She rested her head on my shoulder. I put my arm around her and whispered, "We'll be okay."

But she wasn't listening. She was deep in her own brain. "Maybe..." she started, but trailed off. She looked to Eve, guiltily.

"Maybe what? Go ahead, say it. He's not my brother anymore," she huffed.

"Maybe, we could try to trap him. Make him think I have the book and ambush him."

I thought about it. It wasn't a bad idea. Unless he found out. "How would we do it?"

Claire was thinking so hard, she jumped when the phone rang. I answered. "Hello?"

"Shane?" Claire's mom asked.

"Yeah. Hey, how's it going?" I looked to Claire and mouthed, "Your mom."

"Oh, we're just fine, sweetie. What about you? How are you guys doing?" my mother-in-law asked.

"We're doing great." I was getting nervous; I had never really held out a conversation with Claire's parents. "Did you, uh, did you want to talk to Claire?"

"Oh, yes. I haven't spoken to her since the wedding."

I said my goodbyes and handed the phone over to Claire. I sat, making weird faces at her, trying to make her laugh, while she talked to her mom.

All of a sudden, she went pale and her eyes opened wide in disbelief. "What? No! I mean, don't you guys like it there?"

She bit her lip as she listened to her mom. I had noticed she only did this when she was nervous or scared. "No, mom. It's not that I don't want you to come back. I just- What about Dad? What if his heart starts acting up again? You'll only have to leave again... Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love you, bye."

"What? What's wrong?" I asked.

"They're moving back. To Morganville."
