Angie took off her coat long enough to remove her apron, which she used as a makeshift bandage. There were a lot of questions in her head, and probably a whole lot more in everyone else’s, but right now there was only one specific question that had to be answered before anything else.

“Okay,” Rudy said. “So just where the hell are we going?”

He was currently driving down James Street, which was the second most important road in town next to Main Street, if any road in town at all could honestly be called important. It also wasn’t very long, curving around near its end to merge into the highway. The street appeared to be deserted at the moment. Apparently, any zombies in town had all been converging on the museum. If there were some anywhere else, they didn’t see them. Angie would have been tempted to say that they were in the clear, except she highly doubted it would be that easy.

“What about Ontonagon?” Jasmine asked. Angie was sure just saying the word caused her pain. Ontonagon was another town nearby that relied mainly on tourism. The people of Mukwunaguk often thought of it as a poor imitation of their own town, despite Ontonagon being much larger. The rivalry between the two towns was legendary in this tiny corner of the Upper Peninsula.

“Over my dead body,” Rudy muttered.

“Given the circumstances, that’s entirely a possibility,” Kevin said.

“It’s the closest town,” Boris said. “I don’t care about any stupid rivalry. There’s no way the zombies have reached it yet. It’s our best bet to get help.”

“Mmmph,” Rudy said. “Maybe it’s not going to matter. I don’t think we can get that far anyway.”

“What do you mean?” Angie asked.

“Take a look at the gas,” Rudy said. Angie went up and looked over his shoulder to see the gas needle hovering right over empty.

“What the hell? Why wouldn’t they have gassed it up?” Angie asked.

“They probably didn’t think they needed to just yet,” Jasmine said. “It’s not like anyone was planning on using the bus this soon.”

“Can we get gas somewhere?” Angie asked.

Rudy snorted. “The Superior Mart would be closed at this time of night anyway, even if the workers had somehow managed not to be zombies yet. Besides, we’re going the wrong way. I’m not sure this is even enough gas for us to turn around at this point, even if we did want to risk going back through the horde.”

“And I don’t care what anyone says,” Beth added. “It’s definitely a horde now.”

“Do we really have to call them that?” Jasmine asked. “Those were our friends. Family. Lovers.”

Angie remembered the zombies they had run over on their way out. Although they had gone under too quickly for Angie to be sure, she thought one of the ones before Tina might have been Brendan Shaw, one of Jasmine’s many on-again-off-agains from over the years. She hoped her aunt hadn’t seen that.

“So I’m assuming we don’t have enough gas to get to Ontonagon?” Angie asked.
