“You’d be better off walking up to the gate and pretending you never met me before.”
    “They’re watching the road,” Rebecca said. “And if we just ‘break in’ your leader, Damian, won’t trust us.”
    “He’s pretty damn trusting,” Matt muttered.
    “Please. Can’t you take us to him?”
    “Damian and I don’t get along all that well, especially not right now.”
    “Please, we know things about the other Alphas. We’ll tell him anything he wants to know. We just don’t want to fight anyone.”
    ‘How can I refuse? They need me.’ He nodded. “Come on, I’ll take you both back with me. Just don’t expect this to go well.”

    The meeting was smaller than Matt expected with just the girls, Damian, Anne, and him sitting around in the living room in Damian’s house. Not even Ryan and Sean were there with their grim faces and their guns. Matt explained how he’d come across the girls in the bush around town and how they’d asked to come back with him.
    Damian frowned. “After your actions with Eddie these last few days I find it hard to believe that you would invite dangerous strangers into our home.”
    “They’re not dangerous.”
    “We said the same thing about Eddie, you didn’t believe us. What makes you suddenly so eager to trust Alphas?”
    “I thought you’d be happy I had changed my attitude. You yelled and I listened.” When Damian only glared in silence Matt sighed. “I was jealous of Eddie and Violet, all right? Violet and I were the only ones in our twenties, I thought she’d just fall for me the way I had fallen for her. There was no one else for her to fall for, right? But she didn’t, she fell for Eddie.”
    “And now?”
    Matt felt his cheeks heating up and he hoped the sisters wouldn’t notice.
    Damian nodded and turned to the Alphas. “Tell me more about where you came from, and how you ended up with this group of thugs.”
    Rebecca nodded. “We’re from New Mexico. We got hit with a nuclear warhead, ground zero was only a block or two away. You probably heard a similar story when you questioned Eddie. When we got free of the rubble it was absolute hell. The whole state got hit hard. Everyone was either dead, or dying of radiation sickness. We headed north.”
    When she stopped Rita jumped in. “This group of travellers took us in, they said they knew what had happened to us, why we had survived when so few others had. They had survived too. At first things weren’t so bad but they made us train to fight. They said it would help us gain control of our new strengths but later we found out that they were training us as an army.”
    Damian nodded. “Eddie mentioned plans of world domination. What does that have to do with us?”
    “You lied to them, you protected Eddie, and they’re coming to get him.”
    “He’s not here,” Anne said.
    “They don’t know that,” Rita said. “They think he’s here. They’re convinced he’s here.”
    Damian shook his head. “We were careful. How could they possibly have known?”
    “They have these Alphas who mutated differently. They’re faster but not crazy fast and they have noses like blood hounds.”
    “And I told them,” Matt said, staring at the floor. He shifted uncomfortably under the weight of their stares. “I already said I was jealous, okay? While I was out on patrol that night she appeared out of nowhere, she said they’d take Eddie away and leave the rest of us alone. What was one stranger compared to the safety of the village?”
    “Especially if it was one stranger that you didn’t like, right?” Damian shook his head. “Damn it Matt, did you really think people like that would just walk away from us?”
    “I wasn’t thinking! I just wanted Eddie out of here so things could go back to the way they were. I thought …” he stopped and sighed. “I thought if I could prove Eddie was a bad guy that Violet would love me. The way she looked at me today … she won’t love me now, no
