Love In The Time Of Outbreak Chapter 13
Liza. Nadine. Marc.They are dead.Kelvin. Hilda. Kelsey. Nasir. Luke.They are also dead.The names of her close colleagues at the clinic kept coming back to Thalia's mind.Liza. Nadine. Marc.They are dead.Stop!The sharp voice in her brain added to the numbness throughout her body. Thalia suddenly became conscious of her surroundings. The water splashing against the hull of the boat. A strong gust of wind that split the big waves. And the overcast sky added to the chill of the weather that morning.She was sitting on the splintered deck, huddled next to Dean, who'd slung a strong arm around her and urged her to get some sleep.Sleep? She thinks it's impossible if she can sleep now. Because every time she closed her eyes, she could always picture the huge fire that engulfed their entire clinic. Even though she didn't see the death of her colleagues, she still took pictures of their burning bodies.It's just death, Thalia. There is nothing new there. You always see dead people.She

Thalia seemed confused by his statement. "Someone is trying to kill you?""Yup. I almost faced death many times. The first attempt was right after my unit was recalled back to the military camp fourteen months ago. Couple days after our debriefing, I was almost run over by a car right in front of our house .""You sure it wasn't an accident?"He snorted. "I was shot by the driver of the car, Doc. The police didn't believe me when I reported it to them, but trust me, I know a threat when I see one. You really have a sixth sense when you work as a black ops. Someone wanted to kill me that day, and it followed two months later. I was motoring when the motorcycle I was riding lost its brakes - two days after I had it tuned up at a motor shop. I almost got hit by an eighteen-wheeler truck."Her eyes widened. "When you reported it to the police again, did they believe you?""Nope. The mechanic also said that the brake connection was just broken. So the police insisted that the brake of my m

Thalia just stared at the greenish color of the water for a few seconds, then she took a deep breath, closed her eyes and jumped.The water was warmer than she'd anticipated. It completely engulfed her, soaking her clothes, her hair, her tired body. She kicked her feet, propelling herself to the surface, and squeaked in surprise when she noticed Dean's wet head right beside her."Are you okay, Doc?"She spat water from her mouth. "I'm fine.""Let's head in."They swam together side by side, Thalia feeling like a wet rat. She removed the braid from her hair and let it loose."Ugh. Nothing worse than wet pants," she said."Don't worry, you won't be wearing that for long. You can borrow Ina's clothes when we get to the beach house.""And how do we get to the beach house you're talking about?" Her suspicious gaze drifted to the trees. "Don't tell me we're going to walk again. In these wet clothes.""Our car is not far away," he assured her. "We'll get there on time too."But she just shut

Pierre revved the car's engine and sped off. In the front seat, the two men seemed to be whispering while talking, but after a while, Thalia stopped trying to listen to their conversation. Her eyelids are also heavy, a sign that she is sleepy. She said that she might not be able to sleep again, but maybe because of the fatigue, her body finally gave in.She didn't know how long she fell asleep, but it seemed like she was lost in the world for a few hours before she opened her eyes again. When she woke up, the sun was high in the sky, proof that she had woken up at noon.She lifted her head from Dean's duffel bag that she had turned into a pillow, and tried to figure out where they were. The winding dirt road seemed to be smack in the middle of the wilderness. The ocean must be nearby, yet she couldn't orient herself no matter how hard she tried.Eventually, she gave up and instead studied Dean's rugged profile. His hair is messy now and a little beard is growing on both of his jaws. H

They reached the front porch, but Dean suddenly remembered something. "It seems that those who died in Esmeralda were not accidental. I heard that the general said that the virus was deliberately released in that area. It seems that the general is not happy, because the said place is close to the MD International clinic.""So then, it's true that the U.S. has biological weapon testing there." Pierre said, shaking his head in disbelief."Looks like it." Dean leveled a stern look in Tatum's direction. "And one more thing, Captain, can you tone down your anger towards the doctor, okay? She's still mourning because all her colleagues died last night.""Pierre said the soldiers burned down their clinic?" Tatum's tone was grudging, as if he didn't want Thalia to feel his sympathy but couldn't help himself."Yes, the worst part is that they burned the innocent people inside the clinic. Thalia's close associates and their patients." His blood suddenly boiled at that thought. "They're going to

A few hours later, Thalia helped Ina put away what they ate while the three men were on the beach with Ina's son. For the duration of their dinner, Thalia silently observed the people who would be with her for a few more days. Although none of the men were officially part of the military anymore, Tatum still stood out as their leader. She noticed that during their dinner because Tatum was always the one who gave them the last word, as if he was the one who really made the decision. Pierre, on the other hand, was clearly at the bottom of the pack. At twenty-eight, he is the youngest of the three boys, and also has the lightest aura of the three. He's handsome, tall, charming, and he was like a matinee idol that used to be out of Tatum and Dean's character. As for Ina and her little boy, she could hardly believe how Ina captured Tatum's seemingly cold heart, because she observed that the love between the two was really great. She also deduced that Rafael is Ina's son from a previous

"I think we should just let Thalia contact her friend in Boston," Dean finally said. "We can send him the sample--""No," Tatum interrupted. "We can't let the sample out of our sight. If we're going to have it tested in Boston, at least one of us will go there.""I just went there," Thalia said. "Franco won't help unless I personally plead with him. He won't trust any of you, even if you use my name."Tatum didn't look the slightest bit pleased about the idea of sending her to Boston alone. Neither did Dean, who turned to her with a frown. "You can't go anywhere without backup, Doc." Dean said and turned to Tatum. "If she goes there, I'll go with her.""And while they take care of the lab part, I will search for more details about project Taurus." Ina said. "Project Taurus?" Thalia repeated. Dean nodded. "Do you remember when I told you that we were sent to Catalina? Well, we were ordered to extract a man named Roger Edison, he is an American doctor who was allegedly captured by t
Love In The Time Of Outbreak Chapter 20
She shook her head a couple times, trying to make sense of what Dean had said. Victor Ortez had been at the UFF helm for more than a decade before he was killed in a military raid three months ago. Thalia saw that on the news, and said nothing that he left behind a child. He didn't even mention his wife or girlfriend who was left behind. But that wasn't even the perplexing part. After spending an entire evening with Ina Reyes, Thalia couldn't really imagine how the smart woman had a relationship with a rebel leader. "Ina was just a teenager and idealistic when she met Ortez," Dean said. "It didn't take long for her to realize what kind of person he was." Dean shrugged. "She's been living on the run, too, ever since Rafael was born.""Maybe the thorn has been pulled out of her now since Ortez died."Dean's laugh was long and husky. "She was actually the mastermind behind his death.""You know I'm troubled. The news says that a unit of the elite San Jose military ambushed Ortez in his
