Chadwick set the last bottle of water in the bed of the truck.

“Looks like we’re all set,” he said, wiping his forehead. The night was warm despite the breeze.

Ben nodded. They were quick. It took less than five minutes to load everything for their escape. He looked over the supplies and it looked like they had everything. There was enough food and water to last them a week or more.

Sliding the rifle off his shoulder, Chadwick climbed into the truck beside Ty. Kaholo lowered the window down and the Brit pointed his rifle outside toward the street, prepared to shoot at people for the first time in his life.

“This is mental. I’m never telling my mum about this,” Chadwick said.

Kaholo chuckled in the front seat. Oliver poked his head up from the front passenger seat.

“What’s a mum?” he asked.

Everyone laughed at that, although Chadwick didn’t find it quite as humorous.

“Mum means mom,” Charlotte said.

“That’s funny,” Oliver said.

“I love that kid.” Ben chuckled.

“Let’s get serious, shall we?” Chadwick said.

“Good point. I’ll take my position.” Ben stepped away from the truck and walked across the driveway to the breezeway.

The main garage door facing the street was open. Kaholo’s plan was to keep the truck in the garage until he gave the signal for them to make a dash for downtown. It’d been at least ten minutes since Ty returned to the house and still no sign of infected or the fake cop and his crew.

Ben was starting to think no one would show up. Maybe their luck had taken a turn for the better. He knelt on the ground beside the Humvee.

Minutes ground by like a glacier, slow, persistent, and unconcerned with the toils of men, much like the infected. Ben sighed and stood up.

“Do you think they’ll come?” Ben whispered to Keanu.

“They’re here now,” Keanu whispered back. “Focus.”

Ben dropped down and looked across the street. The road was empty and he didn’t see any movement. He looked at the houses, but they were dark with only the moon to provide illumination.

Then he saw something on the roof directly across the street. It was subtle and slow. Someone was on the roof. Ben hoped they hadn’t spotted Anuhea. No one made any noise. Ben opened his mouth slightly and slowed his breath.

A car started somewhere in the distance. With its lights off, the car rolled slowly past the front of the house, off to Ben’s left. Without changing speed, it came around the corner and drove up the street that they were facing. Its windows were down and Ben saw guns poking out. Kaholo was supposed to signal the attack, but nothing happened. The car would be in front of them in just a few seconds.

With a loud whoosh, a flare shot out of the garage and struck a bush at the corner of the driveway. It burst into flame thanks to the gasoline they’d poured on it and a second later there was a massive boom as a large gas can that Kaholo used for his lawn mower exploded.
