As we sat, we looked up at the television that was mounted high on the wall to see that there was local news coverage of the rogue outbreak, and it seemed that more towns were fighting back. I had been so preoccupied with everything with Enzo and Selena that I didn't notice at first, but Luke had in fact distributed some of the antidote to our surrounding towns. They distributed even more during the time that Enzo and I were gone, and images were already on the news of people being turned back
