Chapter 3: A Week Later

Double looked up at the sky, it was somewhere past noon, and there wasn’t a cloud to be seen in the sunny blue above. She heard loud voices up towards the gate, a new gate that ran on tracks. She turned to look in that direction. Trouble was on guard duty, and she was currently looking down at the ground beyond the wall. Double heard someone yell up to her sister, and she heard Mike’s name mentioned in this brief conversation. She hurried on down to Guard Tower 1 to see what was going on. When she reached the place where Trouble was stationed, she stopped, and looked up at her sister.

“What’s going on?” Double asked.

Trouble looked down at her. “About seven people want to come inside. They say Mike sent them.”

“They’ve seen Mike?”

“A week or so ago. He saved them from those guys who attacked us.”

“He did?”

“Yep, and then he took off for the coast.”

“The coast?” Double asked.

“Do you want them to come in?” Trouble asked.

“Sure. If Mike sent them, I know they’re safe,” Double replied, and then walked over to the gate and popped the lock. She looked up at her sister before gripping the handle. Trouble gave her the thumbs up, zombie free in all directions, and with the go ahead from above, Double opened the gate.

The seven survivors were standing in the road in front of their car, almost lined up side by side. Double smiled at them, and then ushered them forth into their new home. She closed the gate and locked it, and then ushered them towards the REFUGEE CENTER, which had been cleaned, re-stocked, and freshly painted.

“What’s that?” One of the women asked when she saw the mass grave set up for all the loved ones lost during the Satanist’s attacks. The dirt upon it still fresh.

“Just a reminder,” Double replied, as she looked at the wooden cross standing erect on top of the grave with the words “WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU” scrawled across it.

At the REFUGEE CENTER, Joy greeted each one of them and ushered them inside.

Double stopped and looked back at the neighborhood, now mostly filled with empty homes. She then looked up at a bird sailing overhead, and then glanced back at the gate. “Thank you, Mike. We will never forget you. Good luck and be safe wherever you are,” she replied, and then made her way inside.
