Abstract
In the gutted supermarket we have been using as a temporary shelter I catch Valerie wiping at her cheeks.
"Is that . . . . ?"
"Nothing," she says, guiltily.
But it is too late. I pull away from her an skip my gun from its holster with terrible ease.
"Wait." She backs up against a shelf that once held tinned food, making it rattle.
