clothes. I held her body close and feel her breathing against my chest.
    Amy opened her eyes and looked up into my face and said “You scared me.”
    “I know.” I said, running my fingers through her hair.
    “You told me that you would never leave without me and then you go and do this.”
    “Amy, it’s like what Chris said. This is a suicide run. I just wanted to keep the people I love safe. The only way I could do that was if I did this on my own.” I said softly.
    She shook her head slightly and said “I can understand that, but going after them on your own won’t do any good. They probably have a ton of men and more equipment than we do. Plus there is the fact that you had lost the only vehicle you had.”
    “All right. I concede that it wasn’t a very well thought out plan, but I had to make sure you would all be safe.”
    “Ok, smart arse, what would you have done if they captured you and they forced you to tell them where we were?” She asked, raising herself on her elbows to look in my face.
    To tell the truth, I hadn’t actually thought about it. I lay there looking at the ceiling thinking of what she had just said.
    “I didn’t think of that.” I said.
    She nodded her head and said “Like I expected. Marc goes off half-cocked again.”
    Smiling, I tickled her side and said “That’s not what you said five minutes ago.”
    She squirmed away from me and stood up. There she stood, naked as the day she was born and I felt like my heart was about to burst from my chest. That and another part of my body was quite happy to see her standing there like that.
    “You fucking git.” She said, laughing.
    I rolled over and started pulling on some underwear.
    “You do realize you’re trying to pull on my knickers?” She said.
    “Yeah, well, they feel nice and they fit better.” I said, grinning.
    She leaned over and pulled them out of my hands and laughed again. I found my underwear and pulled them on and then grabbed my gear off the floor and headed for the door.
    “I’ll give you some privacy.” I said, my hand on the handle.
    “You’re not going out there dressed in your underwear, are you?” She said.
    “Why not? It’s not like he wouldn’t have heard us.” I said, pushing open the door and leaving her standing in her bra and panties with a bright red face.
    I saw Chris lying on his bed with his eyes closed and slowly padded to the bed I had chosen.
    “I heard you two making up.” He said without opening his eyes.
    “Erm… yeah, we did.” I said feeling, my face getting warm.
    This was worse than getting caught whacking one off by your mother. Nah, change that to getting caught by your older brother. Because you just knew the fucker was going to use it whenever he could to blackmail you.
    “Good. At least now we can get on and find these Benton arseholes without me worrying about Amy shooting you in the back or worse.” He said, grinning.
    I dumped my gear on the bed and turned shocked to look at him and said “You’re not going to drag me back to the bunker?”
    He shook his head and said “Nah! We were going to do that but then Jake of all people said that these wankers wouldn’t give up until either all of us were infected or dead. So it was decided a small team might be able to find them and put their boat out of action.”
    I sat down on the bed with probably the second shocked look on my face today.
    “David and Mike are scouting out a boat for us and Jake is trying to find Benton’s ship on the radio. He said there might be something on the side channels. We are supposed to check in each night so that we know how everyone is doing.” He said, sitting up.
    I nodded and started to pull my gear on when the door the toilets opened and Amy walked in wearing the leather biker trousers and a black t-shirt. Everything else she carried in her hands.
    “Right. Now that the toilet is free.” Chris said standing up and walking past Amy.
    She blushed as he walked past. He laughed
