Gendry noticed the figure wearing the red cloak struggling along, holding on to the fence for support. She seemed to be hurt, and he thought he saw something black flash at him from under the cloak. In case it was a weapon, he got one of his handguns ready at his side. The zombies lying on the ground all seemed to be dead, so he turned to the refugee and said, "Hello there, and welcome to the fine city of Barclay. I will need to check you for bites first, but assuming you are unbitten, you will get the best medical care available in the country. If you shall stay here, you will be assigned a job by the Mayor, Mrs. Hunterson. If you are bitten... well, let's just say it will be an uncomfortable situation for both of us."
