Chapter Nine

Megan marched down the highway, anger and disappointment driving her to get as much distance from Sam as possible. The sun was finally up, and she imagined Sam knew she was gone by now. The two-hour head start she had would not last long.

The sound of a big block engine barreling down the road echoed in the distance behind her. Megan’s first thought was to find cover and hide, but she dismissed it as quickly as it came. They were adults after all, and if Sam tried to pick her up and manhandle her into the car again, she would simply knee him in the junk. Then possibly run.

Megan continued to walk without glancing over her shoulder. Even when he slowed down and idled behind her, Megan refused to look. He could pound sand for all she cared.

Or, she could tell him just what she thought of his imperialistic attitude and bullying tactics. But when Megan turned, it wasn’t Sam behind her.

“Hey, where you headed?” A young woman, maybe twenty, hung out the passenger window of a shiny Ford F350 waving Megan over while her two companions laughed at her.

“Does it matter, Lana?” Another, younger woman asked from the back seat and pushed open the door.

Megan couldn’t help but stare. Spandex and perfume filled the cab, which made absolutely no sense out in the middle of nowhere. Dressed, or undressed, like strippers on amateur night, all three ladies sported a “for sale” look that couldn’t be missed.

Megan came to her senses, and shaded her eyes to gaze up at them. “I was hoping to find some supplies in the next town.”

“There’s a StoreMart right off the freeway ‘bout twenty-five miles down the road. We’re headed there to grab some supplies ourselves. Want a lift?” The driver called over the seat at her. The woman in the back seat didn’t wait for an answer before she scooted over to make room for Megan.

Even though the hair on the back of her neck stood at attention, hitching a ride brought Megan that much closer to her goal and slimmed her chances of another wrestling match with Sam if he happened to find her. Besides, who was she to judge? Maybe it was all they had.

“Thank you.” Megan stepped on the running board, grabbed the handle and pulled herself into a truck that gleamed as if it just pulled off the sales lot an hour ago.

They introduced themselves but Megan didn’t hear. It took all her concentration not to stare while Lana’s little sister, the only part of the introductions Megan caught, slathered lotion on her bare legs in the seat next to her. Lotion. Megan hadn’t thought about lotion in months. She’d been happy enough to find that single bar of soap. The micro-mini the girl wore made the task simple, but lacked for protection, warmth…sensibility.

And the heels. How would she run if a swarm of zombies showed up to eat them?

“So Megan, where you from?” The driver pushed her bright
