Chapter 54: Behind enemy lines

Kevin and Suzy spent the rest of the day going over their plan. Suzy drew a rough map of the housing zone based on what she had heard from the scouts, and uploaded a scanned copy to her exosuit's system. 

"You hungry?" Kevin asked mid-conversation. 

"Huh? What?" Suzy was taken aback by his sudden question. The first thought which flashed in her mind was that he was probably having one of those episodes again. But she noticed that Kevin wasn't behaving any differently. 

"Are you okay? I asked if you're hungry." Kevin repeated his question, inching closer.

"Yeah, I guess so," Suzy replied. "But how did you know?"

"I saw you looking around the room and tapping your foot. You used to do that at school too while waiting for the lunch break." Kevin smiled at her. "I'll see if I can find something to eat. There should be some packed food at the bar."

"That place is full of corpses!" Suzy exclaimed in a trembling voice.
