   Summary

   "Why do I always have to be the one doing your dirty work, Eva? How much are you gonna use me before I end up as one of those things?!"

   "I keep calling you because you're reliable. Besides, this is better than being a smuggler, isn't it Dr. Grace?"

   Darn it. He hated when she called him "Doctor", his former status or his PhD wasn't useful in the world they lived in. Studying one of those clickers meant just another way to get yourself killed.

   "It's just cargo, Ry. All you have to do is just get him where he needs to go." She encouraged.

   "Don't call me that."

   ––––

   Disgraced scientist Ryland Grace is forced to escort a mysterious convict across the remains of America. But the man he's transporting might be hiding more than he lets on.
