immediately
classified it and prescribed a heavy dosage of what she deemed
would be the best antibiotic. The bacteria had turned to fight the
medicine and eventually won. Then it had fought Stemmy. It won that
battle, too, but had little defense against the bullet Detective
Heron had put into his partner's brain. With Todd, though, she
needed to see more than she had with Stemmy. She needed to see how
a defenseless body fought against the infection. She needed to see
what it did to his blood and his organs in stages. She needed to
see what happened when he died…and when he turned. She took vial
after vial of blood and ran test after test. She gave him nothing
but saline, not even morphine. Not even a Tylenol.
It devastated him. And it did so in about a
third of the time it had with Stemmy. It turned Todd's immune
system against him. What's considered normal, healthy bacteria was
wiped from his system at record speed. When all of that was gone,
it attacked the vital organs. Todd went into kidney and lung
failure, followed by heart failure.
As he breathed his last breaths, Luco
fastened restraints around his ams and his legs and his waist. She
tied a makeshift one around his head, running it through his mouth.
She took a saliva sample. She would take another when he died. If
he noticed her torturous probing, he gave no indication. There
wasn't much left of Todd Mayfield.
A nurse came over to check the alarms, saw
the restraints and got a stricken look on her face. Luco stared
daggers at her. They both knew what happened next. As the nurse
scurried away, Luco pulled out her phone and made a call. It was
late but time was no longer an issue anymore. Transport was on its
way.
Slowly, in the wee hours of the morning, Todd
Mayfield slipped away and a thing took his place. Denise
Luco, the ever present angel of death, dug her hands deep into
rubber gloves, and began her work.

I hope you've enjoyed this, the second
installment of Zombies! Abby's bad day gave you a close look at
Abby Benjamin, whose very normal life seems destined to be
intertwined with the ridiculously abnormal appearance of zombies.
There'll be plenty more of Abby to come in the future episodes but
next month you'll get reacquainted with Shawn Rudd and meet his
love interest. In addition, you'll finally get an in-depth look
into John Arrick, who's popped in and out of the first two
episodes. It's all about romancing the dead in one month when Zombies! Episode 3: Love Bites hits the smashwords
pages.
