Chapter 6

Pam heard the sudden gunfire from the direction she was sure Dave and their sons had gone. She immediately tried to raise them on the walkie-talkie, but there was no answer. Lynn was standing next to her, trying her best to convince her everything was okay and there was a reasonable explanation as to why Dave hadn’t answered the radio.

“Like they’ve been killed,” Pam had replied.

“You don’t know that. Maybe they just dropped the damn thing or turned it off for some reason. You just don’t know, sweetie. Let’s not jump to conclusions,” Lynn replies.

“Your mom’s right,” Mike says. He’d climbed his way out of the back seat of the Mercedes after the shots were fired. He didn’t want to admit it, but he also suspected the worst and assumed he’d need to be in charge now that Dave was gone. Mike had never watched a zombie movie in his entire life, let alone been as obsessed about the genre as much as he figured Pam and Dave were. He seriously worried about his chances to lead the surviving members of their family to safety.

Pam watched Joe and Brigette returning with Jaxon and Braxton from their Easter-egg hunt for used bottles, as the pit in her stomach grew wider and deeper. Before the four had left, Brigette and Joe promised to go no farther than where Dave, Zack, and Ben had entered into the forest and to come back within an hour. They’d been gone less than that and Pam was certain they’d also heard the volley of gunfire and returned immediately. But from the grins on the young boys’ faces as they approached, Pam reasoned Brigette and Joe hadn’t let on about what that could mean to the young brothers. Jaxon, the older of the brothers was happily swinging his plastic sack to and fro, while Braxton was having more difficulty with his. From what Pam could see, his bag looked to be considerably heavier than his older brother’s.

“Hey,” Brigette says as they approached. The tone in her voice was light and happy for the sake of her sons, but her expression told another story.

“Someone sure liked Gatorade,” Jaxon says as he hands his bag to Pam for inspection. Sure enough, half the bottles in his bag were from empty sports drinks.

“Good job,” Pam tells him, offering a high-five. Jaxon slaps her hand and beams back at her with pride.

Braxton hefted Pam his bag to inspect. She looked inside and saw a few crumpled water bottles, but the majority of them were an assortment of empty beer bottles and none she could see had lids. She looked at Brigette with a questioning expression, certain they’d discussed picking up resealable bottles.

“I tried to tell him,” Brigette tells her. “But he insisted on bringing them back.”

“That bag was really heavy,” Braxton exclaims. “I could barely carry it by myself!”

“Dude! You didn’t,” Joe interrupts. “I had to carry it for you because you were dragging it on the ground! But as
