Chapter 16

McCall could see the tracks just ahead of him as he cut through the last of the moaners. His ammo belt had a handful of rounds left in it and he wasn't sure that it would be enough to stand his ground until the train arrived.

Reloading his pistols emptied the belt, which he took off and threw at the nearest walking dead man.

Looking down the tracks, he saw the train approaching. Only a few hundred feet stood between him and his freedom.

Then he heard the woman screaming. She didn't sound all that close.

Spinning around, he looked for Ellis and Karen, but couldn't see anything through the maze of moaners. He'd been concentrating on pushing through to the tracks with such intensity that he never noticed them fall behind.

Ellis loosed a death cry in the distance.

Looking down at the pistols in his hands, McCall weighed his options.

He had twelve rounds left, plus his Colt. He hoped that would be enough to defend himself until the train arrived, but doubted it was enough to help them. The smart move was to stand his ground and wait by the tracks. Too bad no one had ever accused him of being an intelligent man.

Jumping back into the fray, McCall waded through the moaners, carefully picking his shots. Only those who were close enough to endanger him were put down.

Heading into the growing crowd in the middle of the street, McCall watched as Karen fought against the swarm of the dead around her. She swung the rifle he'd given her with a fury that surprised him.

Admiring her spirit, he thought once again that he'd never met a woman like her before.

As he approached, a moaner got a hand on her shoulder and pulled her over. Four others closed in, tearing at her clothing and hair. She'd stopped struggling, seemingly accepting her fate.

McCall shot the closest man in the back of the head, sending his body crashing into a woman ripping away pieces of Karen's skirt.

Karen's head snapped around at the shot, her eyes locking on McCall's. He saw the fire reignite in her.

She kicked an elderly moaner in the chest, lifting him away from her. McCall shot away his jaw. Pistol whipping another man away, he reached down and heaved Karen to her feet.

The shrill train whistle came again, catching the attention of many of the creatures in the street.

McCall used the distraction to their advantage, cutting through the expanding crowd.

"I thought you'd left me," she said, panting as she tried to keep up.

"I almost did. Damn conscience got the better of me."

Squeezing the trigger of his pistol produced a dry click. Raising his other arm, he aimed the second gun and got the same result.

Throwing the six shooters to ground, he pulled the Peacemaker from the waist of his pants and shot through the eye of a naked man blocking their path. The man, hobbling on a stump where his foot used to be, showered the area with a red mist as his head exploded.
