At three am, traffic on the deck was sparse. It was the best time to find a quiet moment that wasn't inside four walls, and the view couldn't be topped anywhere else in the world.

For a sleepless Sammy, it was the only place to go. She had a covered mug of coffee and a mental puzzle to work out. The puzzle had only three corners and no straight edged pieces. As soon as she figured out the fourth corner, she'd know what was nagging at her brain.

The moon was rising over the city of New Orleans, however, it wasn't the only thing rising in the city tonight. Corpses were rising from their resting places and starting to move through the city. Decaying flesh hung from rotting bones as they shambled through the streets. At first the tourists thought it was a joke or some sort of production, but when the zombies started grabbing tourists and started biting they knew otherwise.

Elsewhere restless spirits moved around and in their anger and anguish stirring up objects and moving them around. Some discarded trashed hit tourists and sent them running. The spirits were encouraged by this and became more and more violent.

The source of this unrest moved through the streets behind Baron Samedi in the form of a cult. He controlled the zombies and the spirits and they had summoned him. The leader of the cult was quite pleased at the chaos that was now present in the streets of New Orleans.

Natasha stared into the darkness and thought about getting up. Sleep had been elusive for the past few weeks since Tony told her about Temujin. She didn't know if the thought of Temujin being out there or her problems with her husband kept her awake at night, or if it was a combination of both that did it. She did know that she missed her husband next to her at night.

Oh to hell with this. If she was going to be awake, she may as well get up and get some coffee and something to eat. She skipped dinner and hadn't thought about food even after Nick went to sleep for the night. It was easy to slip back into old habits of not eating and not sleeping.

She got up from the bed and slipped on her robe and slippers. Lights weren't needed as she made her way out to the kitchen. Coffee was started and she opened the fridge to see what was in there.
