Chapter 6

They were up early and ready to go, fuel and their last supplies packed and secured. Everyone had a makeshift weapon, iron bars, steel tubes, anything they could find in the workshop. Merrick did a final inspection, double checking everything.

“Generator fuelled and ready George?” He asked.

“Just waiting on you to give the word professor.” Replied George as he stood near the shutters to the workshop.

A portable generator had been hooked up to its motor, ready to open the door when they left, for now it was cold and silent, too noisy to be switched on until the last second. Merrick nodded checking everyone’s face, they looked nervous and scared, he wasn’t surprised. It was risky and dangerous going outside but there was really no choice. It was too dangerous so near to the city, more zombies appeared every day and they were almost out of food and other essentials. Even if he wasn’t leaving to find his sister they would soon be forced to leave anyway, or stay there, surrounded by thousands of zombies, trying to scavenge what they could.

“Where is Chantelle?” He asked the others.

“I told her twice to get out of bed and get ready to go.” Said Bridget “Her replies were, let’s say, not very polite.”

Merrick nodded “Maybe she decided to stay.”

“Let’s hope so.” Added George, which brought some quiet laughter and murmurs of agreement from the others.

Chantelle had not been the best house guest Merrick had ever had and if the situation had been less dangerous he would have kicked her out but he had bitten his tongue and endured the incessant complaints from her ever since she had arrived, knowing they would be leaving soon. He hoped she did decide to stay, he found her high pitched, none stop chattering tedious and had not been able to make her realise that remaining quiet and inconspicuous was their best chance of surviving.

“No time like the present.” Said Merrick nodding to George.

Bridget and Dan were secure in the back, gripping the metal hand holds in case the ride got bumpy. George took the handle of the starter for the portable generator, bracing his foot against it.

“Fuck me!” Came a high pitched shriek “You own a Monster Truck!”

Everyone looked to see Chantelle standing in the doorway from the house. She stood in amazement at the sight of the truck, covered in steel plates and grating, reinforced and altered, the rear open cab now enclosed by the steel cage where Bridget and Dan sat on newly constructed benches. In big letters down the sides of the bright red truck were the words ‘Demon Smasher’ a picture of a horned, snarling demon’s face was painted large on the front.

“Wait for me!” Shouted Chantelle as she ran forward, climbing up to the front cab of the truck and sitting in the passenger seat.

“Maybe you should get in the back, I’ll need George to…” Began Merrick.

“I call shotgun!” Shrieked Chantelle, whooping as she fastened her seatbelt.

“Keep quiet!” Hissed Merrick “This place is surrounded, I don’t want a pack of those things waiting outside when that door opens.
