Audio log: Day seventeen
"--Unter seriously, we can't keep her here. I... Look, We can't keep her here. She's infected, something's seriously wrong. She... I don't remember her from anywhere."
"And she knew your name?"
"..."
"Red... She's fine. She's got no side-effects of anything that's wrong... She's not infected."
"Ei washed her yesterday."
"And?"
"Her arms were covered in teethmarks and her body was full of wounds. She should be dead Hunter... She can't be alive. Ei showed me right when she got the girl to let her undo the bandages."
"But she is alive."
"I've seen Zack every once in a while who look less beat up than her. She's not okay, and she knows my name, I've never seen her before."
"So? She's a little girl Red! A little girl!"
"She's going to turn and then you're going to have to kill her because I sure as Hell won't!"
"She's not going to turn."
"You remember what you said about Spike? That he wouldn't turn? Guess what? He killed Ariss before I blew off his head. I'm not making that mistake again. I'm not gonna let you, or Monk, or Ei die because of one girl who's already dead!"
"Red! Listen to yourself, she's not dead! She's still alive, she's still breathing, her heart's still beating! She's alive and she's not going anywhere!"
"..."
--Long pause--
"Fine, Hunter... Fine. But we're going to lock her up for a week while you watch her with a loaded weapon. Then she'll be able to walk around, but she'll have to wear a mask."
"What?"
"Or I could just leave her outside and that'll be fine too."
"Red..."
"I'm not going to jeapordize three people for the life of one. I understand she's a little girl, but even so."
"..."
"That's the only offer."
--Long pause--
"Fine."
"She'll be fed well of course, and we'll take care of her, but she's not to leave that room, understand?"
"Yeah."
--Long pause--
"Was that thing on?"
"What?"
"You're recorder."
"s**t, sorry. I'll delete it now."
"No, it's fine."
"Alrig--"
--Cut--
