the ignition. She took a deep breath, started the car, and headed toward her grandma’s house. She could hear ambulances and police sirens in the distance, but nothing was in sight. Emma didn’t pay attention to anything on the road. She was glad when she hit I44. Emma knew she had about an hours drive to her grandma’s house. She was surprised to see
    the empty highway in front of her. She pushed the gas a little harder, wanting to reach her grandma’s house as soon as she could. “Why the hell am I rushing to Mom, if she is not even worried enough to call me again?” Emma thought.
     
    She had forgotten that the phone she used was Jason’s cell phone, not the one her parent’s had bought her last year. She got mad just thinking about it, and threw the phone on the passenger seat. Emma hit the gas and sped up as fast as her car would go. She was confident of her driving skills, like every other teenager in the world. She felt proud of herself for being so independent. She wondered whatever happened to Jason and then thought of him
    as another douche bag that would have dragged her down. She was daydreaming and didn’t notice the cell phone was ringing.
     
    When she realized the cell phone was ringing, she looked at the passenger seat and reached for it. She tried to look at the display screen to see who was calling, but something on the road caught her attention. There was a car parked in the middle of the highway. She dropped the phone and grabbed the steering wheel with both hands. She released the gas pedal and hit the brakes and her car zig-zagged to the right. She was able to avoid a head-on collision but the driver side hit the parked car, sending her straight to the safety rail. She knew it was too late to avoid the rail so she braced for the worse, closed her eyes, and apologized to her mom and dad. She was
    about to die, and she’d never had the time to say she was sorry for everything she had done. Emma opened her eyes and everything slowed down, but she still couldn’t do anything to stop what it was coming to her. She couldn’t believe how big of a bitch she had been to her family, and even that douche bag Jason. But now that she was facing death, she didn’t have any other option than to tell them that she was sorry.
     
    She knew nobody was going to hear her apologies, and nobody was going to tell her not to worry about it. She wanted to die with a clean conscious, after all, she wouldn’t have to worry about her family any more, and whatever was happening out there with her dad and everyone else was no longer her problem. Finally she was free, a way out of the madness in her family and this world. The impact of the car sent Emma’s forehead straight to the steering wheel, knocking her out in an instant, the car continued to spin until it came to a halt at the bottom of the ditch.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER FOUR
    Dr. Moore
     
    Outside the room, Dr. Moore came across small crowd of co-workers waiting for some answers. Dr. Moore didn't hesitate. He got everyone up to speed, and informed them how crucial it was to collect everyone's blood samples and analyze them. He was able to gather enough personnel to split them into two groups, those that drew blood and those that would take care of the lab work.

    A few hours had passed and all the employees had been tested. About 90 percent of them were gathered in the lobby, the rest were in the lower levels of the building helping Dr. Meacham and Dr. Moore with all the lab work.
     
    “All of them, all of us, are infected, how is this even possible?” Meacham said, striking the metal desk where all the blood samples sat with his fist. He looked across the desk toward Dr. Moore. Before he could say another word, Dr. Moore interrupted him with another question
     
    “What you want us to do?”

    “I don't know, I really don't know. What happens if we are the only ones infected? What if the disease originated from within
