The drive out to the RV which was two miles outside of town wasn’t without its fair share of Z’s. The road was littered with them. We spent most of our time dodging them. Dax didn’t want us wasting our bullets on Z’s that weren’t an immediate threat. There was no way of knowing who would be out at the RV.

The highway wound its way through the mountains. Small and large pine trees of every kind covered the landscape. In the summer or winter it was beautiful. To think that we might not see this place again, ate away at me. As much as we grew up wanting to get out of Castle Rock, we never imagined it would be because there was no other choice.

“Take a left up here,” Specs pointed to a dusty road turn-off. The cruiser bumped its way up and down a small road that looked as if it had been made to not look like a road. The further we went down, the more it opened up. We passed over old tracks in the ground from years gone by. As we came over a rise in the road, there it was. It looked like any typical recreational vehicle. Backed up against a large dune of rock. There was nothing to give anyone the sense that far below it, one hundred feet down, was a shelter that would make any prepper proud.

Except there was one thing different. There were two black 4x4 trucks.

“Hold up.”

I stopped the cruiser.

“Back up.”

I shifted into reverse and rolled back over the rise in the road.

“Park out of the way. We don’t want to alert these suckers to our presence. Specs, did your family have any surveillance cameras that might tell them if anyone was nearby?”

“They were preppers. Of course they did.”

“Great, then we may have just announced our arrival.”

“They don’t know how many of us there are. Let’s do this. Spread out. Izzy and Specs, you take the left side, Johnny and Jess, circle around. I’m going to see if I can get close.”

“Um. There is another entrance. I mean, exit for the underground. My father built it Just in case we got sealed in.”

“Your pops thought of everything.”

“Nearly.” Specs’s eyes dropped.

Dax squeezed him on the arm. “Lead the way.”

We covered the cruiser in branches. If another vehicle came in on the same road, they wouldn’t have seen it. It was way off the road, and covered by pine branches. We kept low and moved around the back, keeping a close eye on the entrance. Specs led us up to another rise of rock. At the top was a large metal dome, almost like a submarine opening.

“Here it is.”

“Good job.”

Dax spun the top and slowly cracked the lid. It was dark down below. Metal steps went down and disappeared into the darkness.

“It’s a long way down.”

“Where does it come out?”

“In a storage area.”

Dax shouldered his rifle with the strap and began the descent. Each of us followed.

“No. Two of you should hang back.
