Chapter 9

“Kevin?” The voice asked in a hushed tone. “Why are you making so much noise?”

I looked over to the side of the street. Behind a car about a hundred feet away crouched Kat. At the sight, my knees practically buckled as my legs got wobbly and my heart jumped into my throat.

“Kat!” I was unable to keep from yelling. “Kat, you’re okay!”

My statement of the obvious did not bother her as much as the volume I used. She instantly put her finger to her lips to quiet me.

“It’s okay. They won’t even look at you!” I announced with some pride.

Kat stayed quiet as she looked at me with an expression of confusion. The confusion grew even more pronounced as a group shells not far from her began going into convulsions. The movement drew our attention as a trio of shells began writhing around on the ground. After what must have been about thirty seconds, the movement stopped and the bodies of the shells appeared to melt away until only three bundles of clothes remained.

“What the fuck!” Kat exclaimed as she looked back to me.

“Come on!” I called to her, although she had already started toward the truck.

I helped her into the back of the truck and showed her the boxes of rat poison stacked there.

“You mean this stuff kills them just like that?” Kat asked me with a disbelieving smirk.

I smiled back. “Believe me, I know it sounds ridiculous. But the thing is, it sure holds their attention. It’s like they’re totally engrossed in the stuff until they go poof into dust.” I suddenly realized how ridiculous it sounded. “Well, since they’re already dead, I guess technically it doesn’t kill them.”

Kat started to laugh, quietly at first and then hysterically. After a moment, she caught her breath long enough to speak. “Well, when there are dead things walking around chewing people up, nothing should sound ridiculous.” She began laughing again.

I joined her laughter as I moved closer to her and we embraced. Abruptly, she pushed back from me.

“What happened to you?” Kat asked and slapped my arm as if for emphasis. “We waited for such a long time. Taylor wanted to go after you, but I managed to stop him. Christina spent most of the day fucking sobbing.” She paused for a moment as if to check my reaction to her swearing.

“You mean, you’re all okay?” I started, but emotion choked off my words. “I saw the front of the store and thought…” I was unable to finish describing what I had imagined. Instead, I moved in and held Kat tightly. We stayed like that for a time.

Finally, she managed to loosen my embrace and. “Right after you left, those things got a lot more active. Maybe seeing you leave set them off or something. Whatever, they went off and started pounding on the front and tearing off anything they could grab ahold of. Good thing whoever boarded things up did a good job. Only a couple of them got in.
