Long, Long Way from Home
Who: Billy and Rebecca
When: This evening
Where: Billy's apartment, Starter 1307
Summary: Studly convict, cute cop, erstwhile partners in zombie genocide reunite.
Warnings: Let's just say Billy is gifted in language.
Of all the people Billy expected to run into in this strange city... well, it was actually a pretty short list. But Rebecca Chambers was nowhere on it.
He had only known the young officer for one long night, two and a half months ago, but it was hard to know where to sort a person you lived through a nightmare with. He still remembered July 22nd with a numb sort of disconnect-- it felt like somebody else's experience, but every once and a while he'd wake up sweating with his heart pounding from dreams about blood, rotting flesh, saliva dripping from reptilian jaws, leeches crawling on him...
There was a knock on the apartment door that roused Billy out of his brief daydream and got him off the couch. He still had his towel draped on his shoulders and a gun in his hand when he answered the door.
