DEFENSIVE MANEUVERS - Saturday - December 20th – 2:35 p.m.

Walt Addison crouched down on the roof, peering through the scope of the rifle. Turner was on his left, Martha on his right. Though the situation was dire, Walt took comfort at the knowledge he was surrounded by his family in case this was the end. Less than five feet away were Curt, Bailey, Allsop, Newberry, and a few others, each fully armed. Footsteps crunched behind him. Walt knew they belonged to tens of others who’d secured weapons and scrambled up to help.

“I count forty-two inside those six Humvees,” Curt whispered after lowering the binoculars. “Dammit! I told you we should have taken their weapons!”

“We ain’t cold-blooded killers like you, Curt,” Martha shot back. “But I guess that’s gonna change here in a few minutes.”

“Chief said not to shoot them unless she gives the order,” Turner added.

Curt set the binoculars down and slunk to his belly. He trained his rifle on the closest Humvee. “Yeah, well she ain’t here to stop me.”

“Wrong,” Reed Newberry said. “I’m here, and I swear Curt, if you fire one bullet in their direction, I’ll take you out myself.”

“So much for workin’ together as a group,” Turner muttered.

“Y’all need to remember which group poses the biggest threat,” Walt said. “Those corpses out there can’t be reasoned with. The alive ones can. For Parker’s sake, let’s hope she knows what she’s doin’.”

The rooftop fell silent. All eyes were focused on the horde of dead on the fringes of the parking lot. Another large group was closing in from downtown. There were too many to count. Walt guessed around three hundred.

Studying the movements of the Humvees and the dead, Walt concluded the soldiers were using the corpses as a distraction. Just like Bailey and Allsop mentioned earlier, the troops didn’t seem interested in taking out the bodies. It looked like they were luring them to follow. “Jesus—those bastards are usin’ the dead to distract us!”

Kyle Pender stood, yanking a set of keys from his pocket. “You’re right, Walt. So let’s fuck up their plans.”

“How?” Martha asked.

“Pull them away and get them to converge in one spot. It worked before,” Kyle responded. “They seem to love my unit. Hold your fire until the majority decide to check it out.”

Kyle clicked the fob. His patrol unit lit up, blaring, beeping, sirens wailing, and lights flashing. Walt’s eyes widened as the group at the edge of the parking lot turned their focus away from the Humvees and ran toward Kyle’s car.

“Damn good idea,” Walt said.

“Steady. Wait until I give the signal,” Kyle said, smiling.

In seconds, his unit was no longer visible as the dead surrounded it, clawing, growling, gurgling at the noise.

The Humvees turned into the parking lot, yet the undead didn’t seem to notice.

“Now!” Kyle yelled.

A hail of bullets rained down from the rooftop. Heads exploded and bodies crumpled to the ground. Soon, the area around Kyle’s car was covered in dark mahogany, the fallen bodies stacked almost three feet high.
