How to Date an Android Chapter 27

Sarah wanted to share hers with the bit kid but Steve and I wouldn't let her.

"It's safer in the house," the girl said while staring at the soda.

"It's reasonable for him to not want to bring a guy bitten by zombies in the house," Steve said while helping the other guy move, who is like semi-conscious and moaning. About every ten steps or so, the bitten kid releases a bunch of fluid discharge that drips down his chin. It's like black and gooey but not blood.

"That's really bad," Steve said seeing it.

"I should have been nicer to him," the girl said biting her lip. She reached out to help with the other shoulder but Steve waved her off.

"No! I've got it. I don't want you exposed," he said.

"We need to secure him. If it's true that the bitten turn into zombies then we need to tie him down," I said.

"But he's our friend! We can't tie him up! I won't let you," the girl is really emotional.

"My house, my rules!" I countered.

"He's right," Steve added.

"We should go Steve. It's not right! James is a good person! He doesn't deserve to be tied up!" she defended.

"Shut up, your making too much noise!" I said as I unlocked and opened the shop. I pushed the door open and gestured for them to get in. I am also reluctant to hit the lights. It will be dark in a few hours. But I can put them on briefly.

"OK, help me. I need you to do exactly as I tell you," I coached them.

"But..." the girl started to say but the other guy stopped her.

"He's just trying to help us. You have to give him a break," Steve said.

"It's not right. People have rights you know," she kept shaking her head.

"OK, over here!" I gestured. In the center of the shop I have some metal beams supporting the roof. We pull him over, all the time he's like gurgling black spit and other kinds of shit and not really even aware of who he is.

"How long ago was he bit?" I asked.

"Um right before you picked us up," the girl said.

We brought him over and secured him against the metal beam. Already he's trying to wander away and still moaning.

"I need you to hold him still too. My muscle strength isn't good right now," I said.

"Got it," Steve countered.

"It just happened, when that thing got in through the window," Steve said finally, while I go over and grab a bunch of shop chains and rope.

I'm not taking any chances so I use both and the padlocks. But I'm worried this guy will contaminate my chains.

"Just hold him still while I do the chains," I said.

Being a teenager I'm thinking Steve wouldn't hold the chains tight enough. I also want his hands secured behind his back with the beam through it so even if the outer chain is compromised the others won't be.

"But he won't be able to eat or use the bathroom like that," the girl said.

"That's kind of the point," I said in a dull tone.

"We have to prove he's not a threat first Sarah," Steve said.

"Fuck you Steve. Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! He's still a person," the girl said in a strained half crazed tone.
