Chapter 36 –The Meeting Has Adjourned

Death Wagon pushed the hearse to the limits of its V-8 big block, the tachometer nearly redlining as the engine whined out. Normally he wouldn’t meddle with affairs such as this, but he could not deny Nan’s pleas. He had nothing against Mick Oswald, in fact he rather liked the guy, but it only concerned him because it concerned Nan. As far as this Regeliel character was concerned, he didn’t care in the least whether zombies ate his spleen with a spoon.

He wheeled the hearse into a parking spot near the store and waited. He looked at his watch. He still had about fifteen minutes to spare. He unzipped his leather motorcycle jacket and peeled it off, revealing a mass of tattoos depicting scenes of Grim Reapers and skulls with various angry expressions running up the length of both arms. Black pack of ink stood out in stark contrast to his light brown Hispanic skin. Nan had told him to stay out of sight unless something went wrong. He opened the car door stood up and stretched. He strode confidently to the rear of the vehicle and reached into the back window and pulled out a long black piece of cloth and threw it over his head. He wore it in urban areas like a ghillie suit; it was mottled in shades of grays and black to camouflage him with the shadows; he called it ‘the reaper’s robe’. He opened the back door and rolled out the casket that rested inside and raised the oak lid. He reached inside and retrieved his Scythe, a Dragonov Sniper rifle. He hadn’t had the opportunity to use this tool for a while now but he was sure that he wasn’t too rusty to hit an unsuspecting target. Death Wagon preferred to stay neutral, but sometimes necessity dictated that he must kill some of the living that proved to be just as monstrous as the dead. The zombies were a pain in the ass, but if it hadn’t been for their miraculous reanimation, he would never have met Nan. How the dead had arisen was a mystery, and it was also a blessing in a weird way and therefore unimportant to him; the only thing that mattered to him was Nan. As long as she was happy, then all was well in the world.

He watched the Cadillac Escalade pull into the parking lot and he darted into the shadows. He ascended to the third story of the Parkersburg and Wood County public Library, and waited as he sighted in his rifle. They would not be able to see him in the deep shadows of the curtained room.

Bodie and Daniel exited the SUV. They stood back to back holding rifles in front of them, on guard for any hungry dead. A handheld C.B. radio lay on the cracked black-top parking lot and it crackled to life about thirty feet away. “You get it, I’ll cover you,” said Bodie.

Daniel cautiously walked to where the two way radio lay on the blacktop and picked it up and said.
