thought trail off; we had both seen what that closeness had done to Sarah. “ How the hell are we ever going to defeat them?” I breathed.
       “You.”
       I started in surprise; I could feel the confusion that rolled over my face. “What?”
   “ Your blood Bethany, i t has to be the answer. There has to be some key within it that will help us to awaken the remaining survivors of T he F reezing. The sooner I find it, the more people we can save.”
       “And the more people we have to help us fight,” I whispered, finally understanding his obsession with me, and my blood. It suddenly all made sense. “Strength in numbers.”
   “But the longer it takes me to find the answer…”
   “The more people the aliens will capture, drain, and destroy.”
       “Yes. We could lose them all before I uncover the truth . ”
       I nodded slowly. I may not believe that Bishop was right about me , but he was a hell of a lot smarter than I was , and he seemed to be the only hope that mankind had. The only hope for saving so very many people , and he needed my help to do it . “Ok then, let’s get you that equipment doc.”

       “You can’t do this Bethany.”
       I glanced back at Abby as I lifted the rifle onto my back. Darnell handed me a backpack filled with whatever ammo they could spare, and two extra sig sauer pistols. Bret hefted the bag of food onto his back and slipped a revolver and pistol into his waistband. I had tried to talk him out of coming with me, but it had be en useless. Private Lloyd Price was also coming with us as was , surprisingly, Jenna.
       I had tried to talk her out of joining us but once she heard that we were going to try and make it to the hospital in Plymouth , she had been adamant t hat she come with us . There was a hospital in Wareham, which was closer, but only slightly and in the opposite direction of where Darnell wanted to start heading. I hadn’t realized he had an actual destination in mind until he informed us of that today . Apparently we had been Boston bound all along in the hopes of encountering more survivors, which he was certain the city would have. Along with more weapons.
       I didn’t know why Jenna was so insistent that she join us, but she would not be dissuaded. I was actually a little grateful for another person.

       Lloyd nodded as he clipped the radio to his belt. “Yes sir.”
       “There’s enough food to last a couple of days. I wish we could spa re more, but… ”
       Molly trailed off, her cute face pinched as she watched us worriedly. Molly had been a stranger to us before this had all happened, but her training in scuba diving had save d our lives when we were trapped on the Cape, and unable to escape by crossing either of the bridges. She was a sweet person with her curly red hair and cat green eyes. Since we had joined the larger group of survivors, Molly had helped with cooking duty, and had taken charge of the food s upplies .
       What Molly hadn’t said was that they couldn’t spare anymore food on us, especially when they didn’t know what our fate would be. They couldn’t afford to waste food on us if we were going to be dead in a day. “We’ll be fine,” I assured her. “There will be plenty of
