That is interesting....why do you think Michael went through the foster care system?

when who was in the foster care system?
"Michael doesn't know about slow turners until Tanya mentioned it a couple chapters ago, so while I agree with many a thing you bring up here, Randy wouldn't have been a slow turner."
The slow turner idea still doesn't explain why Michael is angry at seeing Randy, nor the pumping station. It may be just him carrying off Tanya, but when has anything ever been that simple. Besides he spits out Randy's name with utter contempt and seething hatred. No, I think it has to do with something else. Michael I think said Angel was an only sibling at one time and kinda attachs that to the reason he turned out as he is. Maybe Randy is a sibling or relative, Michael didn't get along well with his parents who's to say he wouldn't hate a sibling or other relative for near the same reasons.
Michael probably knew Randy when he was alive.
I remember Randy being mentioned two times. First was at the colony, while under anesthesia, as others have noted. The other is in Ch26-1, at around 12:00.
In Ch26-1, as Tanya is being dragged away by a creature Michael shoots it in the arm and it lets go of Tanya. Then we hear Michael: "I saw its face behind its long brown hair and dirty beard...Randy!" Then Michael continues to run after "Randy" and try to kill it.
Since he described Randy in a journal entry it doesn't seem like it was some war flashback but it actually was Randy in zombie form. I don't think Randy (Randi) was a past love. The fact that he pursues the creature indifferent to the fact that he recognized it as Randy suggests that it wasn't someone that he had an intense emotional connection to...but has had some past experience with non the less.
I do believe 23-1 is the chapter reference you're looking for. Maybe 22-1.....I don't remember off the top of my head but We just got 26-1 this past Monday ;)
