Undead Nightmare II

Chapter 13: Mystery

I wake up and hear a heart rate monitor close by. I look around and see I'm still in the infirmary. I sit up and see Peter still lying still but with machines around him, powered by a generator outside. I stand up and look around for someone. I walk outside the tent and see Dr. Johnson is talking to Hannah. I walk towards them "Hey is Peter still sleeping?" I ask concerned. "We suspect he is in a coma. He's alive but showing no signs of consciousness." He says

"Ok, but when will he wake up." I ask. "We don't really know. Suspected probably a week, maybe 2" he says. "Damn it," I say, walking away. I step inside the food tent and place 12 ration cards on the desk. "Hey Cassie, what do ya want?" The person at the desk asks. "Bacon sandwich," I say. "Ok, coming up." He says

He comes out and hands me a sandwich wrapped. "Thanks." I say, walking out. I see Mary sitting down sharpening her knife. She flags me down to sit with her. "Hello Cassie." She says. "Hey," I say, sitting down. "Heard that Peter got hurt. Is he still ok?" She asks, saddened. "Uh yeah, someone shot him, he is in the infirmary, they think he is in a coma," I say, placing the sandwich down. "Oh my gosh, Cassie, I'm so sorry," she says

"Thanks, I appreciate it," I say. She hugs me and hands me a bottle of water from behind her chair. "You can have that sandwich, I'm not hungry." I say. "You sure?" She asks. "Yeah, I'm good," I say. "Ok, thanks," she says. "Yeah," I say. "So how are you?" She asks. "Uh yeah, things are alright," I say. "Me and Peter fought before that happened." I say

"Jeez, that's sounds hard." She says. "Hey I'm, going to talk to Hannah, the community leader. Wanna come?" I ask."Uh yeah, and I know who Hannah is. She showed me around the place, and I go on scavenges for her now." She says, "Oh ok, I didn't know you were that close." I say surprised. "Yeah, let's go." She says

She walks in front of me, walking to Hannah's house. She knocks on the door, and Hannah opens it. "Mary! And Cassie?" She says my name confused. "Hey, hannah," I say. "Yeah, hey," Mary says. "Come on in Mary." She says, completely ignoring me. "How have you two been up to?" She asks. "I" "we have been great," Mary says, interrupting me.

"Great, so who do you think shot my son?" she asks us. "I don't know, Cassie?" Mary asks me. "I don't know, but they are here still, I know it," I say. "I reckon that their is a rat." Mary says. "Yeah?" I ask. "Yeah, theirs gotta be more people from the brotherhood and minutemen, and they still care about Evan." Mary replies. "How do you know about Evan?" I ask. "Uh, Hannah told me during the tour when she showed me your house." She says. "Oh ok," I say. "Well, I will ask around. Look for anyone suspicious," Hannah says. "Ok, I will to," Mary offers. "Ok, thank you, mary," she says.
