Part Three Summary: “Sunday”

On Sunday, Omega embark on their final mission in Zone One. At a fortune teller shop, Mark, Gary, and Kaitlyn encounter a straggler fortune teller. She seems to be in a stupor and is seated at her table as if still awaiting customers. Gary jokes about having his palm read, placing his hand on the straggler. As the others joke with him, Mark notices that the straggler seems to be smiling, too. Suddenly, the straggler bites down on Gary’s hand. The others shoot the straggler but not before Gary is infected. Kaitlyn rushes out in the hopes of locating team Bravo for help. During her absence, Mark soothes Gary with stories of his past, especially the origin story of his nickname. Kaitlyn returns without any sighting of Bravo. Mark decides to return to Fort Wonton to locate additional medicine for Gary, asking Kaitlyn to look after the injured man in his absence. They discuss briefly what might happen if Gary turns into a skel quickly, and Kaitlyn assures him that she knows to kill him before he has the chance to fully transform. She says that as an act of mercy she will afford time for Gary to kill himself if he so chooses.
