Ivan Warren froze for a moment. 'That makes sense,' he thought. 'If he were really a Zombie, he wouldn't have been able to get into the city. Am I just on edge? Is that why he seems more and more off the longer I look at him?'
Seeing his lingering doubt, Leo Joyce added, "Your instincts are sharp, though. Peter actually mentioned this to me. The man was indeed injected with the Zombie Virus and his body was damaged, but he didn't develop a superpower from it. His brain was also damaged, so he's not all there—he seems a bit slow. However, his Enhanced Superpower actually rose by several levels, and he's extremely obedient. That's why Peter brought him along."
Ivan Warren had always been completely loyal to him. Hearing this explanation, he quickly relaxed and dropped the subject, merely urging him to rest.
Leo Joyce lay down on the bed.
But even after Ivan Warren left, he didn't close his eyes.
