Chapter Sixteen

John slowed the van to a crawl when they rounded the bend and saw the stack of crushed vehicles ahead. He knew it was a roadblock set up by either zombies or looters. Either way, they weren't going further on this road. They'd followed Route 100 until it became Route 11. The demolished Flagler County Sheriff's Office and abandoned Vince Carter Sanctuary were a couple of miles back, but there was nothing but trees and scrub to either side of the road.

"Turn around," Tosha said.

"No kidding." John swung the van to the right and began turning when he saw the first two men wielding baseball bats come running from the tree line. "We got company."

"Then drive away or run them down," Murph said. "Or both."

"This is going to get hairy," John said as he cut the wheel to the right and slammed into a man running at him with a motorcycle helmet on and carrying a splintered broom handle. He didn't bother to stop, the van bumping over the man as it crushed him.

Two more people were in the road with guns but they wisely ran back to the trees.

"No one is shooting," Darlene said.

"Maybe they don't want to scare up zombies," Tosha said.

"Or maybe they don't have ammo. Just a bunch of highwaymen with brooms trying to survive."

Something struck the side of the van. John sped up and passed a man with a tree limb, who began shaking it.

"We're turned around," Murph said.

"We can't go that way. We need to get back to 100 and Route 1 and head north." John glanced at the gasoline needle. "And we'll need gas soon as well."

"Maybe we can hole up at the sheriff's office," Darlene said.

"Too close to this group. And I'm sure it's already been ransacked. We need to find a place far enough away from this road before we run out of gas," John said. He glanced down at the needle and cursed softly. They weren't going to make more than a few miles.

John went over the railroad tracks heading to the corner of Route 1 and Route 100 and saw the zombies in the street. He cut to his left onto North Railroad Street. "Maybe we can pass the big hordes by staying on the side roads."

Ahead the road was blocked with a mishmash of abandoned vehicles. All in a tight semi-circle.

"Someone lives in that old house," Tosha said. "They have to. This isn't a random car pileup. They were strategically placed."

"It could be where the ones we just ran into live," Darlene said.

"Park the van, kill the lights and conserve our gas while we figure it out," Murph said. "I need to stretch my damn legs."

John pulled the van in line with the other vehicles so at first glance it might look like it had been here awhile. He climbed out and admitted he did need to stretch a bit, even though they hadn't been on the road for long. "I say we go around the house and see if anyone is home.
