Chapter 14

The store instantly quieted. People froze where they stood, wide-eyed with terror.

The steady pops of gunfire continued outside.

“I need everyone to stay where you are and not go outside,” the Latino officer announced. “Everyone needs to stay calm.”

“What’s going on?” a woman cried out.

“Well, ma’am, there’s a small pack of those... things–” the officer started to reply.

“Zombies,” Troy breathed. “Why won’t they say zombies?”

“–out there. They’re just clearing the area before we move you back onto the vehicles. Remain calm.”

“Shouldn’t we get back to the road and get out of here?” a man with a battered red baseball cap asked.

“Let us secure the location before you go out there. It’s not safe at the moment,” the other officer replied. He was tall, deeply-tanned from hours in the sun, and his pale blue eyes were rimmed with red as though he’d been crying.

“We could make a run for it. You can’t even see those things out there right now,” another man that Josh couldn’t see said.

“I need you to stay inside where it’s safe,” the tall officer answered.

The guy in the cap stalked over to the officers, his hands in tight fists at his side. “I’m not staying in here waiting for them to swarm us!”

“Sir, please stay inside the building where it’s safe. Let the guards finish clearing the area.” The Latino officer raised his hand in front of him. “Just calm down. You’re upsetting the children.”

“I’m not upset. I’m scared that he’s going to do something stupid,” Troy muttered.

“I’m upset,” Sam said. “Really upset. There are zombies out there!”

“You can’t keep me and my family in here. We’re leaving right now before this gets worse,” the angry man declared.

Corina’s fingers gripped Josh’s upper arm. “Josh, what do we do?”

“We do what they say,” Josh replied. The plan made sense even though it was hard to wait for the all-clear. The steady, echoing shots meant the guards were doing their jobs.

The walkie-talkie hissed again. The taller officer grabbed his radio, set it to his ear, and covered the other ear with his hand to listen.

“We’re American citizens. You can’t force us to stay in here. This is dangerous!” the angry man continued.

Still keeping one hand up, the Latino officer said, “Sir, everyone in here needs to remain calm and orderly.”

Josh glanced toward the bus. The doors were closed and he could see some movement inside. Drake, Oscar, and Yessica were safe at least.

The taller officer finished his conversation on the walkie-talkie and turned to face the upset people. “We’re evacuating! In an orderly fashion, please form a line and group together by vehicle. We’ll be escorting each driver outside, and they’ll pull up to the front of the store so the passengers can board as quickly as possible.”

Chaos broke out immediately. The angry man in the battered cap shoved the Latino officer into a display of souvenir key chains and sprinted to the entrance. As the two officers shouted for everyone to stay in the store, the man shoved the doors open and people spilled into the parking lot.
