Chapter 21

Present

Once their supplies, and they, are loaded into the back of the MRAP, Jim, Chris, and Jeremy try to maneuver around all their recently acquired provisions, making their way toward the driver’s seat.

Arzu, twisted in her seat, looks over each of them from head to toe, for injuries. “What happened in there? I heard a lot of shooting.” She yells the question at Jim with a look of concern.

“We ran into some infected,” Jim answers after a pause and then half sits, half collapses onto the front passenger seat. Chris and Jeremy take seats nearby in much the same exhausted flop as their father.

“Let’s reload and then head to the Tractor Supply store, it’s not far from here,” Jim says as he removes empty AR-15 magazines from his pocket. Chris and Jeremy do the same, Jeremy placing the aluminum ammo box within easy reach of the three of them as they all reload.

Chris asks, “What’s at the tractor place that we need?” Arzu and Jeremy also look to Jim for his answer.

“We need to carry as much fuel as we can to feed this beast,” Jim says while continuing to load 5.56 mm cartridges into his composite magazine. “The store should have some fuel tanks; they use them on farms and ranches to transport fuel for equipment,” Jim finishes his thoughts, places a newly-filled magazine into pouches on his chest rig, and looks to his family.

Arzu twists back to face the windshield, places the automatic transmission into drive, and begins to pull away from the Costco entrance. “You guys buckle up,” she says as she heads northwest toward their next stop.

Pausing from reloading their magazines, Jim, Jeremy, and Chris buckle in, then resume filling magazines and checking their firearms.

Jeremy grabs a bottle of water and says, “Dad.” Looking toward his son, Jim sees the proffered bottle and positions both his hands, ready to catch. Jeremy tosses a bottle to his dad and then hands one to Chris before grabbing a third for himself. The three of them down half of their bottles on the first gulp.

Jeremy, looking at Berk and Kayra, says, “You guys want a surprise?”

“What is it?” Kayra asks as she and Berk both lean forward toward Jeremy. Reaching under his chest rig, Jeremy pulls out two deformed Kit-Kat candy bars, their plastic wrappers sweat-soaked but still sealed. He offers them to his younger half-brother and half-sister.

Taking the candy from Jeremy with wide eyes and the mouths in the shape of an ‘O’, then wide smiles, Berk and Kayra both tear open their surprise and begin to gobble it down. “Thanks, Jeremy,” Berk says, followed immediately by Kayra, who echoes the sentiment.

Returning their smiles, Jeremy says, “You’re welcome,” sits back and gulps down the rest of his water. Chris says to Jeremy, “Hey, grab the juice boxes, too.” Giving a nod, Jeremy moves some items around and retrieves from their supplies the case of juice boxes that Chris picked up. Ripping open the plastic, he then gives one to Berk and Kayra.
