worse shape than the homes surrounding it. The windows had been broken out, pieces of them sparkling brightly in the afternoon sun like diamonds. Papers were flying about, most of which made no sense whatsoever to him, and after gathering a few of them, he let them go. Vials had been thrown about; lab coats, most of which were stained with a dark rust that he knew as blood, were flapping in the wind like a kite on a warm summer day. Hector smiled at the thought, how so many things reminded him of things he and his son now did. But then he entered the lab proper.
    The smell of death permeated the air. It was thick with it, so thick that he wanted to turn and leave. It was strong enough to cause him to gag, and he had second thoughts as to whether or not there would be anything there that he might need. But he knew that some of what he had said he’d find, things that he wanted to bring out, were below where he stood, so he covered his mouth and nose with his shirt and moved deeper into the building.
    The bodies had been stacked up in tall piles around the rooms. Most of them had been dead for a long time if their decomposition was any indication. He would not have been able to tell anyone who the people were but for their names on their lab coats. Even those were stained so badly that it would be nearly impossible to tell what they might have said at one time. But as he moved on, going to the labs, he wondered what sort of terrible mess he’d find there.
    Broken glass and doors torn from hinges met him, and even the tables had been bent double. Their use, if one were to enter this room for the first time, would be unknown. Cabinets that had at one time been neatly filled, labels stuck to the front so he could easily find what he wanted, were now nothing more than broken glass and steel, the items that they’d once held no longer safe within their confines. Even the equipment was torn up, broken beyond repair. Walls were embedded with surgical tools, glass, and even...he thought it was bone. Hector did not want to think about the force it had taken to do that.
    He found Ward’s head, decomposed and rotted, sitting upon a table as if he were ruling the room. And this was where he found the body of Dolin, his head also missing. The two men had not been killed easily, it seemed, but perhaps quickly. Again, he wondered at the strength that it would take to tear a man’s head from his body like that.
    The noise behind him had him moving quickly to a safe place before he was seen. Then when he shadowed himself, making sure that whoever was there could no longer see him, he watched as three men, all of them loyal only to Ward and Dolin, entered the lab. They looked like they had been doing well; their clothing was clean and they didn’t look any worse for wear with all that had been going on. He wondered where they were hiding out.
    “I tell you, I saw Hector. Plain as day. And he looked fit too, nothing like he did when he was here.” The other man, Tony he thought his name was, asked him where he was then. “I don’t fucking know. But he’s here, and if he’s here then things might be turning for us. I can’t do this anymore, Buddy. There is no one here to do chores and shit. I’ve taken to washing my own clothing at the pond down the way. Those women that are there? They told me to do it myself. No respect no more, I’m telling you.”
    Hector liked that they noticed that he’d been working out. He and Ruben had taken to using the gym. Not so much his son, but he kept him company as he worked. But there was trouble afoot and he had to pay attention.
    “Did you see that thing walking around the neighborhood this morning? The one that they’d been working with? Benton, I think his name was. Damn, but there was some messed up crap going on there.” Buddy agreed with Tony and they started looking around the lab. “I haven’t had a decent meal in about a month that I haven’t had to cook for myself. I was eating
