CHAPTER SIX

Bo slapped the gearshift up into Reverse and stepped on the gas, immediately ramming a car that had moved up behind him. This gave him enough room to pull the van out of the line. As they turned, the first zombie smashed into its side, talon-like fingers digging into the edge of the door, pulling with impossible strength, its wretched face pressed against the window beside Klaus. He gripped the door handle, pulling it toward him and slapping the door lock down, to be certain it was engaged.

Three more zombies jumped onto the van as Bo completed the turn and began to accelerate. The highway heading east had grown far worse in the few minutes that they had wasted in the line, many cars sitting incapacitated, having struck groups of the undead. Bo swerved onto the shoulder to get around some of these stalls, then got back on the road, swinging the steering wheel back and forth to throw the creatures off of their vehicle.

Then Klaus' window abruptly shattered, the shards showering his lap with bits of glass as the zombie on the other side lurched forward, its chomping face inches from his cheek. Klaus threw himself back, smashing into Bo's shoulder, sending the van to one side as he kicked out with both feet, knocking several of the monster's teeth out. The sweet, rotting smell was enough to make their eyes water.

Before anyone could react another decomposing face thrust itself into the window opening, hands grabbing at Klaus' legs as he kicked like mad to knock them away. Aiden struck the zombies in their heads with the butt of his rifle with very little effect.

"Get 'em off me!" Klaus shouted, his back pressed against Bo as the creatures pulled themselves farther inside the van on their chests. "Shoot 'em! Shoot 'em!"

Outside they could hear more bodies striking the van as additional zombies moved onto the highway.

"Klaus, kick the door open! Open the door, Klaus!" Conor shouted, aiming and shooting one of the zombies in the forehead. The sound was deafening inside the van, everyone's ears ringing in the close quarters. Black blood sprayed out the back of the thing's head and a trickle ran down between its yellow eyes as it came back at Klaus. It resumed pulling and tearing at Klaus' shirt, trying to pull him close enough to bite. Its teeth snapped the air just in front of his face.

Klaus managed to hook the toe of his shoe in the door handle and wedge it outward. Kicking with the other foot, he knocked the door wide open. The two writhing zombies dangled in the window, grasping at one another for a moment, then slipping free to crash against the pavement where they were swept away, limbs flopping about like rag dolls.

Horns blared as other motorists fled the horde, some not quickly enough as they were dragged from their vehicles and torn to pieces. Bo reached the end of the highway, drove under a bridge and made a sharp left at a stop sign.
