ONCE WE GATHERED EVERYTHING WE could fit in our bags, mainly food, water bottles, a lighter, dog food, and a dog—we packed up the buggy and drove it near the double doors. The vehicle was built to hold four, which was beyond perfect.

Midas seemed to be in good spirits, his tail constantly wagging. He must have been happy to see us, after thinking he’d been left there alone.

I patted the back seat and told Midas to sit. He hopped up and did exactly as I said. “Midas, we’re going to be leaving. There are deadly creatures outside who want to kill us. You need to stay inside this vehicle until we are out of trouble.”

Midas barked once.

“Good boy,” I said, hugging his neck.

“Do you really believe that canine can understand you?” Keanu asked.

“I do,” I replied. “I think there is a lot more to this dog than we know about.”

Finn walked up and wrapped his arms around me.

“I don’t want you to use your mind to get us out of this mess. We’ll use our weapons.”

I smiled. “All right. Hellfire is in desperate need of some action anyway.”

“You still have that Glock 27?” Keanu asked.

“Right here,” I said, holding her up, before sliding her securely into her holster on my side. “Don’t worry. I’ve got your backs.”

“Somehow, when she says it I feel like I’m going to survive another day.” Keanu chuckled. He was busy rolling up the buggy’s cord, then secured it onto the back.

Finn gave me a wink. “Right now, she is our only hope.”

“All right,” Keanu exhaled. “The plan is to open the doors, run back to the vehicle, and speed off unharmed.”

“What happens if they block our exit?” I questioned.

A grin pulled on Keanu’s lips. “I’ll run ‘em over. Those good scientists created a sturdy A-shaped bumper, specially designed for plowing through debris—or bodies, in our case. The tires are extra wide and heavy duty, and the shocks are killer. We should be able to push away, knock down, and drive over bodies with ease. I think we should be able to maintain a speed between twenty to twenty-five miles per hour. It’s not the quickest, but it’s faster than the Arvies.”

I giggled. “You sound a little too excited for this.”

“I figure, if it’s my time to die…why not go out with a bang?”

Finn stepped in front of Keanu. “I think it’s better if you stay in the buggy and have it ready, while I open the door. That way, I can jump in as you drive forward.”

I knew it wasn’t going to be that easy.

I didn’t want to tell Finn, but my head had started hurting the moment we stepped out of the bunker. Being underground, protected by steel walls, had offered significant relief. But the Arvies knew exactly where I was, and probably also knew that this was the place where the scientists created the virus that mutated them.

I could sense their ruthless, determined rage. Their hatred resonated inside of my head, and if I didn’t get out of here quickly, we wouldn’t make it far.
