Chapter 31:
He seethed with rage. He knew he'd have to make it back to the cabin. Even if he tried they would kill him. He was sure Mary had issued the orders for the others to shoot him if they saw him.
Revenge. It was all he could think about. When it was clear and he'd taken care of the last zombie so it was no longer a threat he scooped up snow and put it on his bruised face. He didn't understand why everyone had turned on him. He was a better leader than Barbrady ever could be. He knew he was a better man than Officer Barbrady and Mary was delusional if she thought differently.
He needed to find new shelter and rest first. Revenge would have to wait. He didn't see any other shelter on his way to the cabin since he was so determined to get there. He trudged through the snow to get as far away from it as possible because he needed the others to forget about him or think he was dead before he reappeared.
He couldn't be sure if any of the others saw him escape the dead. He hoped not. He wanted to plan his revenge more carefully this time. When he came back Mary wouldn't know what hit her and neither would the idiot.

"You look like shit Mary." Classi spread out across the couch with Wolf in her lap. Since Randy Marsh escaped the arena and survivors saw him running from the herds no one could be sure if he were alive or dead.
"No shit." Since she was pregnant she was supposed to be resting, but with Randy on the loose and Sergeant Yates still alive and plotting revenge on her husband she couldn't rest. Nothing could settle her worried mind. She stomach lurched and she tried not to puke.
"The dead are no longer a threat Mary." Barbrady assured her that at least one was taken care of. She still didn't know what to do about Randy when fear overwhelmed her.
"Oh God!" Harrison Yates was still alive. From what Classi had told them he was hell bent on revenge against Barbrady after he cuffed him to the rooftop.
"What's wrong Mary?" Her husband asked with concern.
"What if he finds this Westwood place?" She panicked. Randy could find it. It wasn't just Harrison that wanted revenge against Police Chief George Barbrady. Randy was extremely jealous and she knew he wanted her to himself. He could bring the Big Bad Government Guy to her cabin along with his town. She didn't know how many people he had behind him.
"We'll fight." Barbrady seemed confident. He wrapped his arms around her in a comforting embrace. "They won't take this from us."
It was a confrontation she didn't need. Rest was the last thing she needed when she had to prepare. A war was coming and she best be ready when it did.
