Luckily: your family had befriended the Manawa's at the beginning of this whole thing. You had been staying with him at their house in the quarantine zone. When Nick got taken by the soldiers, you knew you had to go after him.

You managed to find him. He was being held at the college that the military had turned into a “refugee camp”. He was with a man named Strand. Things took a bad turn, but you three made it out of the chaos of it all.

Everyone had evacuated the quarantine zone, eventually reuniting and following Strand to his mansion that overlooked the sea. You hadn't noticed the bite mark – the adrenaline must've distracted you from the now throbbing pain in your abdomen.

You have to tell Nick – you have to tell somebody.
