Decision Time

Plum’s house

Mukwonago, Wisconsin

Seneca fumbled at the camera controls and panned to the left. In the driveway, four zombies staggered across the yard and the driveway, angling toward the ambulance.

"We got four incoming zekes out there. Let's get everybody inside."

"What's the plan?" Ward called over his shoulder as he pounded up the stairs.

Seneca followed, taking the stairs two at a time. "We only got a quarter tank of gas left in that ambulance. I say we ditch it and take Plum’s battle wagon."

"You're not thinking of bailing on Plum, are you?" Ward asked as they ran through the unfamiliar house and reached the garage.

"No—we need to find him. But we only have a few hours left of daylight and we gotta survive the night first. Let's get the civvies inside and button up this place up for the night. We can figure out what to do next when we don't have zekes breathing down our necks, hooah?”

“Hooah,” Ward muttered, slapping the wide panel garage door opener. The little electric motor whined, and the dented, bloodied aluminum garage door clanked open at the end of the empty bay. Seneca rushed forward and ducked under the still-opening door, taking a knee and covering the driveway to the right. Ward rushed past him, veered left, and went straight to the ambulance, ripping open the driver’s door.

The coast was clear toward the backyard, so Seneca shifted to face the driveway and fired off the first shot. The closest zombie fell and Ward yelled for the others to get out.

"Forget the supplies! We can get them later—get your asses out here and run for the garage!”

Kendra was the first one out. She took a look at the three zekes up the driveway, then turned and ran for the garage. Somewhere behind Seneca, before reached the house, she screamed. Seneca tore his eyes away from the zekes staggering toward them and looked over his shoulder.

“Incoming! Check your six!" he yelled.

"Fuckin’ move!" Ward yelled, shoving Jo and Sam forward. Once they were clear of his line of fire, he took up position next to the ambulance and aimed his rifle toward the backyard. "I got four more coming in from the cornfields!"

Seneca fired another shot over Ward’s shoulder and dropped a second zeke in a spray of black blood. The body hit the pavement with a wet splat and he shifted to the next target. "Two left out front. Go, go, go! Leapfrog it!"

Ward abandoned his post at the ambulance and jogged past Seneca into the garage. "Go!" Ward yelled, his voice echoing inside the cavernous garage. Seneca didn't bother to look. He turned and sprinted back to the garage, running past Ward up to the door that led inside the house. He hit the garage door opener, then stepped inside the house ignoring the scared looks on the civilian faces and the questions flying from all three of them. "Go!" he yelled.

Ward stepped back into the garage bay and backpedaled, keeping his rifle up and watching for zekes until he too reached the inner door.
