Chapter 11

"I can't break free," Peter said.

"I know how to do this." Willow jumped up slightly and the chair slammed on the floor.

"Let me guess, you've seen that in a movie once," Peter said. Willow did it again but this time leaning back. She successful broke free.

Meanwhile...

"I'm not a fan of needles," Zora said.

"Nobody is," Collins replied. Jason looked towards Collins direction with a confused look. "Is something wrong?" Collins asked before giving Zora her shot. Willow came up behind him and knocked him out with a chunk of wood.

"Why did you do that?" Nelson asked.

"It's not a vaccine, it's a poison, he's here to kill us," Peter informed.

"It's a poison?" Madelynn asked while looking down at her arm. The group tied Collins to a post in the hallway with tape. When he awoke Peter explained why he was in this situation.

"Any vaccine would kill a guinea pig or a shot of Vodka or even a cup of mouthwash," Collins said. Willow had his gun pointed at him.

"I barely even gave it an eighth of the dosage," Peter said.

"What did you put in my body?" Madelynn asked.

"A vaccine to protect you," Collins replied.

"How do you feel?" Zora asked.

"Fine," Madelynn replied.

"He tied me up," Peter said.

"Because you and your friends blew up the chemical plant," Collins said.

"But, why did you knock me out?" Willow asked. Violet joined the group with a vaccine in hand. She bent down to meet eye to eye with Collins.

"You say this is a vaccine right?" Violet asked. Collins nodded his head. "Then you won't mind taking it, would you?" Collins leaned his head away from her so she could inject the shot in his neck. Violet inserted the needle but no vaccine, yet.

"Don't," Collins said. Violet took the shot out. Madelynn started to quietly sob to herself.

"Why are you trying to kill us?" Zora asked.

"I was doing my job," Collins said.

"It's because we're witnesses to the horror show going on outside," Peter said.

"All I know is that your friend doesn't have to die," Collins said.

"What's in the syringe? What kind of poison is it?" Violet asked.

"I don't know," Collins said.

"Yes, you do," Willow said.

"Your only chance is getting medical attention. I can radio for help," Collins told Madelynn.

"Right after you call more people to come kill us," Nelson commented.

"Let me get to my vehicle. I have another suit, I can get her out of here," Collins informed.

"Would you really be that nice?" Willow sarcastically asked.

"She'll die if you don't trust me," Collins said.

"She dying because we did trust you," Zora said.

"She ain't dying alone," Violet said while injecting the poison inside of Collins. The group walked off. Willow stayed with Collins to make sure he doesn't run for it.
