Excerpt
He
laughed to himself. "You're always my strongest supporter, Kennedy, and
therein lies the problem. That blind loyalty could get you…" He closed his
eyes and seemed to swallow back the words, or one in particular. "Could
get you killed."
"What
are you saying?"
"Kennedy,"
he exhaled patiently but with a great deal of effort, "I'm not sure how
much venom my body can take, what the effects of it have been on me, or even
how it is merging with the antibodies. Every time I'm bitten I put you in
danger, everyone who is near me is in danger." He exhaled in frustration.
"Why do you think I wait for sixty seconds after I'm bitten to come near
you?"
That
had never occurred to me, but he was right. I remembered seeing him move away
from me after an attack; he'd gone so far as to put a muzzle to his head. I'd
even caught him positioning himself within range of Doc, Mei, and Beverly.
"Wait…,"
I mumbled, an understanding of something forming in the recesses of my mind.
"Wait a second…"
Then it
hit me. He had been training them to defend against the Infected's
strengths…the same traits that he possessed. He had trained them to detect
weaknesses, the same weaknesses he possessed.
"Wait…"
I said again, bile rising in my throat.
He had
done this in front of me, with my help, and I hadn't even realized what he had been doing.
"You…,"
I whispered. Clearing my throat, I tried again. "You…"
He was
watching me now, waiting for me to wedge free the statement that was so rigidly
stuck in my throat. "I…?" he said coaxingly. "I what,
Kennedy?"
What
began the fire of infuriation in the pit of my belly was that he knew. He knew
what he'd done and he knew I'd figure it out sooner or later. This was that
moment.
The
memories flooded back to me then. The shift in his positions around the group
after he'd been bitten, the line of sight he'd
maintained with someone, anyone but me on our team to take him out if it
was needed.
"You
trained them to kill you," I uttered.
