Who: Charlie, Ana, and Adam
When: late Saturday (a little before midnight)
Where: Adam's campus apartment
What: Charlie brings a much needed cure.
The last few weeks had been absolute hell on Charlie. When the sickness set in, he'd thought it was just heartbreak finally catching up to him. Charlie wasn't exactly doing a great job of looking after himself without Ava in his life, and since Maggie was at school so much, and he was mostly unemployed, there wasn't much else to do but sit around feeling sorry for himself. But when Maggie called one evening and told him she wasn't feeling well and wanted to come home, he snapped out of his mood long enough to drive to the school. What happened when he arrived was totally unexpected. Maggie wasn't the only one feeling ill. Everyone was sick, well, everyone who
shouldn't be sick was sick. And it hit Charlie fast. He just about collapsed as the virus latched on to him. While he was terrified about his own health, he was more worried about Maggie. Unsure what to do, he texted his brother for help. It was a bad move, even though humans couldn't be infected (something Charlie didn't know at the time), because once Lewis (along with William and Alicia) arrived at school, they were all stuck there. Quarantine.
