In a little over an hour they reached the place where the coach was parked, but the spot was empty. Marla stopped the jeep and thumped the steering wheel. “How could they?” she demanded. “They knew we were coming back.”

Ellen tapped her arm. “Maybe the army forced them to go.”

“I never trusted that soldier guy,” spat Tommy. “I have to get some air and stretch my legs.” Stepping out of the jeep, he felt the urge to shout or hit something, but he resisted it. Instead he scuffed his boots along the tarmac. A few hours. That was all. Okay, so maybe they had been gone for over three, but that was not long. He would have waited.

The others got out of the car, followed by Bob who was wagging his tail and trying to lick the nearest hand for attention, oblivious to the tension in the air.

“There’s something over there,” said Marla, pointing. She ran over and glanced down. There was a message on a piece of paper taped to the ground with an excessive amount of tape.

Sorry we couldn’t wait. There were too many of the dead biters and we got scared. The army came and wanted us to leave, saying it wasn’t safe. There is a base near a village called Pewsey, which is near Salisbury, at a place called Rickslaw. It is aptly called Haven. We are going there. It’s not on a map, so remember to find Everleigh Road. Take care and good luck, Eric.

Marla bent down and pealed the note off the tarmac. “I know where they’ve gone,” she announced, laughing. “We can find it on the map and follow.”

“They mention creatures,” Ellen noticed, but I can’t see any. You?”

Marla looked around and shook her head. “None. Weird.”

“Hell,” mumbled Tommy, gesturing to the side. “Check the field!”

The group turned to look in the direction where he was pointing and fear blurred their eyes for a second. The green space was now grey and red, rippling as far as the eye could see. A mass of bodies, all moving the same as if the field were swaying back and forth, back and forth...

“Let’s go,” Marla suggested. “Now!”

They all ran back to the jeep and jumped in. “Tommy, can you get the map? It’s in the glove compartment. Find the best route to Salisbury. I’m just going to drive, so I don’t have to look at those things.”

Ellen stared out the back window as they drove off. How could there be so many, she wondered, and then she realised they had probably left the capital. Ellen shivered and turned away. Devan moved his hand on top of hers and she grasped it, glad of the comfort.
