Buster really had been raised by the girl, and he had always been unusually smart. One night during a late run, she ran into a mugger, and Buster didn't hesitate to jump in. He fought the man off even after being stabbed, nearly losing his life in the process.Later, when she started dating Edward, things began to fall apart. Edward was allergic to dog fur, and Buster clearly didn't like him either. There was even a time he nearly bit Edward. Edward made his stance clear. It was either him or the dog.With no other option, the girl sold Buster to a shady meat buyer just to calm Edward down. She got 160 dollars for him and even used the money to buy Edward a shirt as an apology.Afterward, the regret hit her harder than she expected. She cried more than once in private and even took Buster's old toys to a park, where she set up a small memorial for him.What she never expected was that Buster was still alive and had found a new owner.She was upset, but she wasn't foolish enoug

Nicole shook her head without hesitation. "No, thanks. We're just regular people, trying to get through the day."Jasper let his eyes slide past her and settle on Zeph. "And you? You look like you've had training. Military, maybe law enforcement. Things are falling apart out there. We could use people like you. Ever think about stepping back in?"Poppy tensed and grabbed Zeph's sleeve. "Zeph…"Zeph rested a hand over hers, steadying her before answering, "I left after an injury. Our parents are gone, so it's just me and my little sister now. She needs me."Jasper paused, a flicker of regret crossing his face. "Understood. If you ever reconsider, you know where to find us."They climbed into the vehicle and pulled away.With time to spare, the group made their way toward the department store.Zeph didn't say a word along the way. He was usually quiet, but this felt different. Nicole could tell something was weighing on him.Maybe Jasper had struck a nerve.Men like him didn't j

Zeph caught Poppy's hand and followed behind Nicole at an easy pace.Nicole kept walking, scanning the stalls as she went. It took her a while to settle down after what just happened. Along the way, she spotted a few alternative medicine practitioners trying to make a living. They offered treatments for sprains and injuries, along with massage and bone-setting. Without proper medicine, and with everyone bundled up in thick layers against the deep freeze, they had barely any customers. The few who stopped by were mostly just asking questions.The market was huge, selling a bit of everything. The most common stalls were secondhand clothes.Dozens, sometimes hundreds of pieces were piled together, ranging from cotton coats and pants to sweaters. They looked filthy and poorly kept, but plenty of people still stopped to ask about them, even if their expressions were complicated.It wasn't hard to guess where those clothes came from.They had been stripped off the dead.It was taboo,

Nicole took Cola downstairs for a walk.After several criminal groups had been wiped out and patrol teams were set up, the complex had grown much quieter.Strangely enough, even though the police encouraged residents to report gang activity, and plenty of people in the complex had their issues with the 18th floor, no one stepped forward to report them.The calm felt a little too deliberate.People didn't just avoid provoking the 18th floor. They went out of their way to steer clear of them altogether.Even when Nicole walked the dog, no one dared get close. If Cola wandered around on his own, no one tried anything either.If they had something like sausage on hand, they probably would have tried bribing the dog, hoping to use him as a way to get closer to the 18th floor.Some had even tried asking the Goodmans to help make introductions, but after what happened with their neighbors, the Holts and the Fullers, Gabrielle shut that down completely. She wanted nothing to do with tha

The gift might've been simple, but the thought behind it mattered. Nicole wanted Hughie's group to have a proper meal, and now, she didn't even need an excuse."I've still got some frozen fish. How about grilled fish?"There was also roasted pork belly, and she could throw together a spicy rabbit dish, too.Grilled fish?All three of them immediately started drooling. "Sounds perfect!"Jeremy looked at her with envy. "Nicole, your supplies are seriously stacked."Nicole shot him a look. "Well, obviously. While you guys were drinking and eating meat, Cola and I were scraping by on scraps. I don't even eat this stuff most days.""Woof!"Cola looked deeply wronged. He ate that stuff every day and felt like he was wasting away.Hughie raised his hands in protest. "Hey, come on, we never hid meat from you."Nicole smiled faintly. They had practically grown up together. There was no way she didn't know them inside out. "You sure you weren't sneaking drinks?"Both of them stiffened
