"But I have no choice."
Debbie steadied herself against the wall in the alleyway and began to stand. Her body tensed up and her legs shook like she had just run a marathon.
She knew what this was. The adrenaline spike she had recieved was wearing off. She had survived a near death experience but now didn't know how to proceed.
"Stick to the plan Debbie." She said to herself.
"Get to the lab. Find Steve. He'll know how to fix this."
It sounded simple when she laid it out like that. But so had her plan to get a ride to the lab and look how that turned out.
Debbie glanced at the driver's car and noticed large bloody finger prints along the body. Was that the pedestrian's blood? What king of gruesome fate had her driver met? How many more would have to suffer because of her mistakes? All these thoughts and more swirled in Debbie's head.
"Stop it. You can't turn back time. What's done is done."
She had long used this mantra as a nurse. It was cold but it helped her cope. She had seen countless patients die under her care. It was the only way she could continue to work day in and day out. Right now she had to fall back on that training to get through this.
While Debbie managed to put on a brave face to anyone who may have passed her by the thought of having another run in with Erica made her shake where she stood. What kind of ravaging beast had Erica become? Was this a result of the trauma of seeing her digested husband or had this been a part of her all along?
Debbie would leave these questions to be debated by panels after she cleaned up this mess. Right now required her to take action. And it started with her taking that first shaky step forward.
