story. Then she realised she didn’t want to know. She knew Luke. What she knew about Lucifer could fit on the back of a postage stamp, the words Bad Guy taking up most of the space. But Luke wasn’t, at least not to her. How would it help her now knowing the evil stuff he’d done before?
    She spoke before Sophie got the chance. ‘What’s going on with them?’
    ‘I’m not sure. Why?’
    ‘It just all looked a bit secretive. I’m not sure it’s a good thing.’
    ‘I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.’
    ‘Sophie, I worry about everything these days.’

     

Alex

    He couldn’t stop staring. He knew he was staring and he still couldn’t stop himself. She was amazing. She was beautiful in a way that made Bayleigh fade into the background. She made everyone fade into the background. He tried to tell himself it was her beautiful face. The way her nose sloped up just a little at the end and the full lips that curved up at the edges even when she was looking serious. Which was often.  
    But it was her tits as well. They were amazing and she kept wearing t shirts that were a little too small. He couldn’t decide whether it was deliberate or just unlucky. Or lucky of course, depending on where you sat. He was sat in what had become the dining room and he was feeling pretty bloody lucky.  
    She looked angry and she was still gorgeous. She was called Harriet and came from Cambridge by way of West Thames University. She’d been living in Ealing while she studied and had some of the swagger of the girls from that side. He liked Ealing. If he’d known Harriet was living there, he’d have spent a lot more time there.  
    She smiled a lot when they spoke to one another. He wasn’t superman when it came to girls but he knew the signs. And she hadn’t been put off when he said he was a scientist. He didn’t think she had much respect for what he did, but he had none whatsoever for her weird, blinkered religious views, so that was alright. And it wasn’t like he was looking to build a long term relationship.  
    He knew he wasn’t the only one in the place that was craving it. He’d seen Jackson prowling, making eyes at the ladies. He thought it made him desirable but it was borderline stalker and all creepy. Alex grinned and shook his head. The guy was a total nut job. At least the zombies gave him somewhere to direct his madness.  
    Harriet was going on and on to a group of the ladies about something, waving her arms around and looking heated. Every time she raised her arms, her t-shirt moved around and showed her tits off. Alex shifted in his chair and groaned in the back of his throat. The hospital was clean, there definitely weren’t many zombies here, but sneaking off to a different part to masturbate was still a perilous task.
    The ladies dispersed, heading out of the room. For a moment Harriet was alone and Alex strode over, trying to look casual while getting there before she had the chance to leave.  
    ‘Hey, how you doing?’
    Her normal smile was absent when she made eye contact. ‘Do you know who it is you’re following?’
    ‘Pardon?’
    ‘Luke. Do you know who he is?’
    ‘Of course.’
    Harriet turned her nose up and looked past him.  
    ‘Why, what’s the big deal?’
    ‘He’s the Betrayer. He’s evil.’
    ‘That’s a bit strong, don’t you think? He made a few mistakes, but he’s atoned for them.’
    ‘You can never atone for what he did.’
    ‘Hang on. He spent thousands of years presiding over Hell. From the sounds of it, not much fun.’
    ‘He could spend the rest of his life there, he would still never atone.’
    ‘What happened to forgiveness?’
    She jumped as though he’d poked her.  
    ‘I mean, just a thought, but you guys are all about forgiveness, right?’
    ‘Us guys?’
    ‘Christians. I mean, that’s your main definer.’
    ‘I suppose so. I’m also a student—’
    ‘Were.’
    ‘I was a student and a woman. They define me as much as my
