CHAPTER 12

The water treatment plant was completely empty of gray-faces, and I had a difficult time comprehending where they could have all gone all at once like that. Why would there be no stragglers? Wouldn’t any of them want to stay to try and do us in? The fact was that these people were no longer people; they were dead men and women walking; their ability to reason and plan was as dead as they were.

We got outside and took deep breaths of fresh air. No zombies to be seen.

“I think we should take Pelham Road to get back to city center, you know, just to be safe.” Jace looked serious, and his plan sounded reasonable to me. Even if they couldn’t use logic seeing to people with backpacks coming into city center from the water treatment plant couldn’t be good.

The alternative route turned out to be the best idea Jace had come up with thus far. We walked Pelham Road, and when we got about five miles from the actual outskirts of the city (we took the long way, believe me) Jace took notice of a small house behind a row of trees.

“Let’s go knock on the door. Why would zombies need lights? Maybe we will find someone that’s normal. They may need us.” Jace took my hand and tugged me in the direction of the small country home.

We got close enough for me to get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach; there in the driveway next to a Focus with the driver door wide open, was a person lying on the ground. As we got closer it became obvious they were dead. It was a woman, chubby, but small in stature. Her neck was ripped open and her skull had been caved in. Her brain hung out the gaping hole; a large bit had been taken from it.

“What the hell, Jace?” I was in shock. This was a first. Since when had the gray-faces gone to such an extreme? “Did the zombies do this?”

Jace appeared to be as surprised as I felt. “I don’t know, Alicia, but I think it’s safe to say that a coyote or wolf had no part. They wouldn’t bother to crack open the shell to get the nut out.”

We stared a few moments longer. Jace climbed into the Focus and tried the engine. “Out of gas. The body is fresh. The car ran itself dry. Let’s check out the house.”

Hand-in-hand we made our way up the walk that ran from the front door to the driveway. The door was locked, forcing Jace to jog back to the car and fetch the ring of keys from the ignition. There was only one key that resembled a residential door lock key, and it worked like a charm. Jace opened the door and we stepped into the air-conditioned interior of the home.

It was small but nicely furnished and clean. The living room was the first room we encountered. Off to the right was the master bedroom and straight ahead was a doorway which led to the kitchen/dining room.
