Chapter 15

The Firehouse

Claire and I approached the twin steel roll-up doors carefully. It had been a difficult slog to the building. The road and front yard of our possible sanctuary was choked with cars and trucks. There was even a tank or two scattered among the wreckage. Thankfully, we only had to grease two zombies as we came near the building. They had both popped out of an overturned ambulance and were dressed like paramedics. I always felt sorry for firemen, cops, soldiers, and other emergency workers in all this mess. They were just bravely doing their jobs and were rewarded by being turned into walking corpses. To me, it always seemed a little unfair.

The broken vehicles were like some sort of macabre maze on the road. Claire and I sometimes had to climb over or duck under cars and trucks to find a clear path. In some cases, we even had to open a few doors and go through the vehicle. It had not been easy; many of the vehicles had decaying bodies still strapped in the seats. In fact, the entire area was covered in bodies and other assorted debris. It made getting to the firehouse very tough.

The steel roll-up doors were down and, I assume, locked. They were quite large and substantial, with small windows about halfway up. There was a regular door with a small window between the two roll-up doors. I approached it carefully with my rifle at the ready. As I stepped closer, I noticed it was slightly ajar. Someone had also painted a large zombie skull on the door. They were in such a hurry that they dropped the spray can before their masterpiece was complete. Claire and I looked at each other. It could be wall-to-wall undead inside. By now, the rain had begun to fall heavily. I could also hear a few rumbles of thunder in the distance. We had to chance it.

I motioned for Claire to follow and slowly pushed the door open. The hinges creaked in protest. We both froze for a moment to see if somebody or something had heard us. When nothing horrible came to the door, I got out my flashlight and took a look inside. We knew better than to barge right through the door. With all the monsters running around these days, you took a quick look first.

I peeked around the door at the space beyond. It was a vast space that was used to hold at least two vehicles. In place of the vehicles, there were a few cots, tables, and footlockers set up into sleeping areas. A few empty wooden pallets lay scattered on the floor among the cots. At the end of the garage, cardboard boxes were stacked against another set of roll-up doors. I also caught a glimpse of some bottled water containers spilled on the floor. I took a few steps into the garage. To my right was an office with a large glass window and another door that probably led to a hallway.
