2.

Outside, a few shots here and there. But everything else went well as they helped the civilian looters. Handshakes and expression of gratitude. Everyone headed towards the respective vehicles.

“We did good,” Peter said. “That went well.”

A seagull flapped its wings as it descended on the dusty Mercedes. An alarm went off. Lights flashed. The seagull took off, not liking the racket.

“Why do I jinx myself!”

“Y’all, run!” Chris readied his rifle for action.

“Ben,” Peter said.

“On it.” Ben took up position and shot at the Mercedes until the alarm died.

Mazy’s voice, “Zoms, incoming!”

Phebe grabbed the Beast’s door. “In!”

Tyler scrambled to the backseat.

Peter ran around to the driver’s side.

“Phebe!” Tyler screamed.

Peter on the other side of the hood turned as she did. He raised his gun and fired, hitting the zom in the side of the head. It fell to the ground in front of her. Too close.

“They’re coming from the wings.”

She jumped in and pulled the door closed. “Peter! Get in.”

Chaos exploded.

“Not again,” Tyler muttered.

Phebe busied herself on loading bullets into magazines. “Don’t look don’t look.”

“Phebe, your door.”

Her head whipped up. A monster on the other side of the door glass. A foaming grimace. Skin gray. Eyes insane. He looked like the girl on the Commons last week.

His gaze moved down.

A click. She reached for the lock.

The door flew open.

He charged in at her. A manic fist fight. He punched her. Her hands worked on his face. She screamed, intwined with the monster’s screeches.

A shotgun pumped. “Die.” Tyler pulled the trigger.

The blast deafening. It lit up the cab.

The monster’s brains splattered everywhere.

“Get in,” Tyler ordered.

Her legs had fallen out. She pulled them in and reached for the door handle.

A female dove out from the side and sunk its teeth into her leathered arm.

“Ty, again!”

He threw himself on top of Phebe to get the shot. She feared for her arm getting blown off. The kid laid the business end against the zom’s forehead and pulled. Brains on the wall. He reached forward and yanked the door closed. She scurried out from under him, away from the brains, and into the backseat. He hit the door lock.

“What’s his name again?”

“Who?”

“Him?”

He pointed to the dark-haired man shooting outside the driver’s side door.

“Sullivan. Sully.”

“Sully, get your ass in here! What the hell’s his problem?”

“He doesn’t know when to quit.”

Peter steady fired at incoming runners.

Zoms slapped against the windows of the other side.

“I’m driving then.”

“Whoa. You’re like ten.”

Tyler got in behind the wheel. He turned the key.

“Twelve. Where’s the seat adjuster?” He found it and slid forward to old lady distance. Now able to reach the pedals, he shifted into drive.

“Wait. You can’t. What the hell?”

Peter turned and gave ‘What the fuck’ body language.

“Get in,” she yelled at him through the window. “Now!”

Peter fired as he moved sideways around the front of the Beast. She reached forward and unlocked his door. He whipped it open and jumped in.

“Go go go!”

He lurched his legs up just as the door slammed shut from forward momentum.

Righting himself, “Why is the kid driving?”

“It just happened.
