Lisa hadn't cried in four years, but now her face was damp with tears. She caressed his face. "I'm hallucinating...your hair's different!" Pushing a strand of it off of his cheek gently, she asked, "Where's Gav?"

He was a mess. Always the crier was Gray. Now he sobbed loudly, sending echos of his happiness throughout the store, "Mom!"
He clutched her to him and wrapped himself around her possessively, "I thought you were dead!"
He stopped at the mention of his brother and looked down at her before casting his eyes to the side, "Gav..." He bit his lower lip, "Gavin's gone..."

"Baby, it's ok, it's ok..." Lisa sobbed. She couldn't stop fussing over him, patting his head, straightening his hair... he was really here! Her baby was here in the flesh!
The news about Gavin sent a pang through her heart, but really, she had been so close to losing hope that half of a dream was better than none. She bundled Gray onto her lap, even though she hadn't done this since he was very small, and of course now he was much bigger than she was. At this point her mothering instincts took over. "Gray-vy Wavy, we gotta get you something to eat," she scolded. "Look how skinny you are!"

He relaxed against her, letting tears fall down his cheeks, trying not to cry as loud as he was known for, feeling stupid for sobbing to his mommy.
"I need a doctor... I'm really sick..."
He was sick. Normally Gray was pretty strong and did everything too rough... but as of late, he was having a hard time pulling himself up onto the tree stand he had been sleeping on.

"OK, baby," Lisa said as reassuringly as she could. A lump as big as a baseball rose up in her throat. Don't start this now, damn you. She was in charge- It wouldn't help Gray if he saw her start to panic. "We're gonna get you someplace safe, hear? We'll get far away from all this and I'll fix it for you, and it'll be all better, ok?" She pressed her wrist against Gray's forehead but then drew back swiftly from the heat.
"Dear God," she hissed. Then to Gray: "How long have you been like this?"

He closed his eyes and rested against her, limply, "A few days... maybe a week. I don't really know, I just know it's been a while."
He inhaled shakily and tried to sit up, "I'm really sick..."

Lisa unwrapped her granola bar... it was the only thing between her and starvation, but ten million years of evolution had programmed her to do anything and everything to save her child. "Here," she cooed, fighting past the lump in her throat. "If you think you can keep it down, eat this." Then she closed her eyes...wheels turning... "Davenport Hospital, on First and Laurel Street...three blocks south, fourteen west," she murmured, doing the calculation in her head. That wasn't so far was it?
But it was straight through the slums... Where the gangs and thugs ran rampant even before they were turned to mindless flesh-devouring spawn of Satan.
Shit.
But Lisa knew it was the best plan she could come up with. Briefly, she outlined the plan to Gray, to see what he thought.

He couldn't help but laugh as he chewed the granola bar slowly and carefully, "You think there's actually going to be people at the hospital? Like... non brainless zombies?"

"I think," she said slowly, mulling over the words, "That there will be drugs in the hospital, if it hasn't been raided already. Darlin', I don't see that we have a choice..."

((My posts on other sites tend to reach 400 words... why cant I write here?))
He shook his head and laid down on the cold floor, "...I cant walk that far." He rolled onto his side and drew his knees to his chest and sniffed, "I don't want you to go alone..."

[[haha yeah it is difficult...]]
Lisa thought again... "I'm fast, Gray-vy, and I can be back here in no time at all. We have to get that fever down." She brushed her hand across his forehead again. "You need some aspirin and Vitamin C."

"Please don't go, mom..."
He kept his back to her and increased the grip on his legs, "I don't want to loose you, especially after finally seeing you again. I was trying to figure out how to get back to Moran to see you... but with the infection and all the transportation being right out... well... there wasn't much I could do..."
