Either that, or the disease that Charles D. Campion had brought to Arnette was a lot more communicable than anyone had guessed. Either way, the integrity of the Atlanta Plague Center had been breached, and Stu thought that everyone who had been there was now getting a chance to do a little firsthand research on the virus they called A-Prime or the superflu. 5 Babe's Kwik-Eat Retail Gas Stations Babe's Kwik-Eat On June 19, the day Larry Underwood came home to New York and the day thatFrannie Goldsmith told her father about her impending Little Stranger, Harry Trentstopped at an East Texas cafe called Babe's Kwik-Eat for lunch. 6 Baby Can You Dig Your Man Performing Arts Songs Baby Can You Dig Your Man Song - hit single by Larry Underwood.

Wards were crammed. Patients lay on the floors. The halls were full, nurses, many of them obviously sick themselves, wove in and out, some of them weeping hysterically. Others looked shocked to the point of coma. 11 Brakeman's Quarry Companies Construction Companies Brakeman's Quarry "Harold's eyes didn't waver from Stu's, and they kept their slightly humorous, pleasant light, but Stu had a momentary feeling that Harold's smiling eyes were like sunshine on the water of Brakeman's Quarry back home - the water looked so pleasant, but it went down and down to black depths where the sun had never reached, and four boys had lost their lives in pleasant-looking Brakeman's Quarry over the years." 12 Cheery Petroleum Company Companies Fuel Companies Cheery Petroleum Company Company in Powtanville, Indiana. Something seemed to whistle past him and he sobbed and held up his hands, dropping his sandwich into the dust, cringing his cheek into his neck, but there was nothing, there was no one. Beyond the cinderblock wall of the Scrubba-Dubba Car Wash there was only Indiana Highway 130, going to Gary, but first going past the huge Cheery Oil Company storage tanks. Sobbing a little, he picked up his sandwich, brushed the gray dirt off the white bread as best he could, and began to munch it again. 13 Cosmic Clutch Performing Arts Albums Cosmic Clutch Joke Larry makes about a possible title for his next album when he comes across the phrase - the new album by Larry Underwood. 14 Curtis funeral home Services Funeral Homes Curtis funeral home Also known as Curtis Mortuary. He knew what came next and didn't want to do it. It wasn't fair, part of him cried out. It wasn't his responsibility. But since there was no one else here - maybe no one else well for miles around - he would have to shoulder it. Either that or leave her here to rot, and he couldn't do that. She had been kind to him, and there had been too many people along the way who hadn't been able to spare that, sick or well. He supposed he would have to get going. The longer he sat here and did nothing, the more he would dread the task. He knew where the Curtis Funeral Home was - three blocks down and one block west. It would be hot out there, too. 15 Dachau 2000 Media Video Games Dachau 2000 Video game, joke Larry Underwood makes after seeing Death Race 2000 video game in arcade in New York City. 16 Dakota Ridge Medical Center Healthcare Medical Services Dakota Ridge Medical Center Medical center in Boulder. 17 Dewey the Deck Services Drug Dealers Dewey the Deck Larry Underwood's drug dealer. 18 Doc Soames Healthcare Doctors Doc Soames Doctor in Shoyo, Arkansas. 19 Dr. Brenden Sweeney Healthcare Doctors Dr. Brenden Sweeney After six calls, during each of which Ed Norris carefully held his temper with both hands, he finally found a doctor in Polliston who would look at Hector if they could get him there by three. Polliston was off their route, twenty miles west of Hammer Crossing, but now the important thing was Hector. Ed was getting very worried about him. He'd never seen the kid with so little oomph in him. They were waiting in the outer office of Dr. Brenden Sweeney by two in the afternoon. 20 Dr. Holmes Healthcare Doctors Dr. Holmes She put the skillet in the drainer, pulled the sink stopper, and wiped the lace ofsoapsuds from her reddened hands. "Not so bad," she said, coming over to the table and sitting down. "My back pains me some, but I got my pills. I make out all right." "You haven't thrown it out of whack since I left?" "Oh, once. But Dr. Holmes took care of it." 21 Dr. Tom Edmonton Healthcare Doctors Dr. Tom Edmonton Fran's family's doctor. 22 Durbin Call-Clarion Media Newspapers-misc Durbin Call-Clarion It was a small-town, once-weekly West Virginia newspaper called the Durbin CallClarion, put out by a retired lawyer named James D. Hogliss, and its circulation figures had always been good because Hogliss had been a fiery defender of the miners' right to organize in the late 1940s and in the 1950s, and because his anti-establishment editorials were always filled with hellfire and brimstone missiles aimed at the government hacks at every level, from town to federal. 23 First Bank of Boulder Financial Companies Banks First Bank of Boulder Bank in Boulder. 24 Free Zone Radio Radio Radio Stations Free Zone Radio Mother Abagail cackled.

Chris was the bartender down at the Indian Head. He had seen Parker Nason and his wife, the elderly people from the trailer park near Stu's house. Stu guessed that they had netted up everyone who had been in the gas station and everyone that the people from the gas station said they'd talked to since Campion crashed into the pumps. 30 Jane's Place Nightlife Nightclubs Jane's Place Bar/poker parlor in California that Larry calls from New York. Larry quickened his step and turned in at an arcade. Bells and buzzers jangled in his ears, there was the amplified, ripping growl of a Deathrace 2000 game, complete with the unearthly, electronic screams of the dying pedestrians. Neat game, Larry thought, soon to be followed by Dachau 2000. They'll love that one. He went to the change booth and got ten dollars in quarters.

It killed everyone on board. Well, I called the Majestic office at Logan after things had settled down a bit. I told them I was a reporter from the Manchester Union-Leader--a small lie in a good cause. I said we were getting a sidebar on airline crashes together and asked if they could tell me how many no-shows there were on that flight. The man sounded kind of surprised, because he said the airline personnel had been talking about that. The number was sixteen. Sixteen no-shows. I asked him what the average was on 747 flights from Denver to Boston, and he said it was three." 37 Manchester Union-Leader Media Newspapers-misc Manchester Union-Leader "Well, you know," Glen said, "about a week after I finished the Staunton article for the first time, a Majestic Airlines jet crashed at Logan Airport.

Then she had come here and since then had been skipping rocks across the pond, not thinking about much of anything. But she unconsciously realized that it was a good kind of not thinking, it wasn't like that strange apathy that had shrouded her on the day after her father had died.
