Chapter 10

We loaded most of the rest of the gear from the back of the U-Haul into our “new” truck. Al and I did this while the girls took turns shooting the steadily increasing number of zombies that had been drawn to all the noise we were making. The transfer was more difficult than it should have been since we were unable to get down on the ground to load the truck. Cindy moved the Ford away from the back bumper then climbed into the bed of the other truck. Then Al backed up against the back of the U-Haul. When this was done the four of us had a somewhat uncomfortable reunion. After rubbing it in for a while and doing their best to make us feel bad Al and Gina finally laid off. I had seen firsthand, when Gina and I had first started dating, that she could be a bit jealous at times. After some quick explaining as to what had actually happened though she calmed down. Al actually seemed madder that I was going to leave half of his grenades behind than he was that when they found us I was hugging his half naked girl-friend.

There was a heated argument between Al and me about who was going to go down into all that zombie goo and remove the wooden bumper from the U-Haul; then put it on the front of our new vehicle. Al argued that I was younger and in better shape than he was. What a crock of shit that was. I reasoned that he was older than me and most likely not nearly as tasty as I would be. Therefore not as appealing to the undead and less likely to be attacked by something coming up out of the zombie sludge that surrounded us. We finally agreed it would be best to find a hardware store or a lumber yard and make a new one. The only things we had left behind were the propane powered generator and a few of the spare tanks for it. Al insisted on bringing most of the propane tanks with us. I was pretty sure he had an idea that he could use them as some sort of half assed bomb at some point in the future. Good old Al.

As we drove away from the U-Haul Al’s voice came over the radio, “Did you buy the extra insurance on that thing?”

“No. Why would I?”

“There’s going to be a hell of a charge on your final bill. They expect you to bring those things back you know.” Then we heard the roar of his laughter over the radio.

“That’s just stupid,” we heard Cindy say in the background. “You’re the only one that thinks you’re funny.”

“Steve, you thought that was funny, didn’t you?”

Gina looked at me. A questioning look on her face. “That would be a no Al.” Now it was my turn to laugh.

“Give me that,” Gina said, taking the radio from me. “There’s a small town about twenty miles west of here.
