Chapter 19

It’s A Zoo. What Could Be Safer?

It was a great shock when they found Hopetown and were taken in and welcomed, they found Jilly Montaine, Cinder Montaine’s daughter.

Kevin always thought it was a sign, but he regretted the whole venture into the hospital. “We listened to your mother’s tape,” he told Jilly, “for about the fourth time; we knew the words and sang along.”

Jilly hugged them. “I’m glad you liked it.”

Kevin’s first friend at Hopetown was another gay man named Alex. They would have years together before Alex was killed on a mission. Cory would train with the US Militia, and during a particularly devastating event, he would prove himself a hero and leader.

Across the city, Wheeler, Dale, DeVon, Bella, and Robert ran along the scrub and weeds, darting into the woods on the hill to get away from the zombies.

They looked for Cory and Kevin and didn’t see them anywhere. Knowing they

couldn’t just wait around, they looked and found an old truck that they used to travel

north, a direction they chose at random.

They drove until the truck was almost out of gasoline, but it proved reliable and able to run down a single or pairs of creatures when needed.

Bella replayed the hospital scenes in her mind, shivered and shook with fear and depression. “Did they get away?” she would ask over and over, “did Cory and Kev get to safety?”

“Yes, they are safe,” someone answered.

“We need a safe place to ride this out; no more bullshit missions,” Robert began. The others nodded thoughtfully. “We need somewhere that has secured walls and that can handle those things, and then we can call base.”

“A zoo.”

“Well, it is like a zoo out here, pretty crazy.”

DeVon stomped her foot. “No, look, a zoo. It has walls.”

Wheeler gave her a little hug. “You are brilliant. Of course, it’s a zoo and very secure.” He waved them to come check it out with him. “What could be safer?”

“A hidden military outpost beneath the earth’s surface with no way for the zombies to get inside,” Robert said and smirked.

“Oh, well, we don’t have that; we have a zoo.” DeVon smiled.

And that was how Dale, Robert, Bella, Wheeler, and DeVon ended up living in the zoo.
