Chapter Twenty

An unlikely convoy rounded the bend leading to Valparaiso with their engines roaring. In the lead was a utility truck, white panels painted over yellow and black. It had been stolen from a used car lot several miles behind.

Following it was a used black and white squad car that had seen better days. Splashes of mud were smeared across the windshield. The vehicle was filled with frantic passengers looking as though they were fleeing from somewhere.

The third vehicle in line was a Chevy pickup truck. It looked brand new, still having dealer plates fastened to the back. The bed was loaded with several backpacks, a few boxes, and a couple of small children, roughly seven years of age.

The convoy was speeding down the highway rudely pushing through the thinning traffic. In the lead vehicle, the utility truck, Bradley Harrison was on a mission to save his family in Valparaiso. He had received a call from his wife before all communication went black in the city. She had called him from the zombie park the minute the zombies had gotten free from their enclosures. He was leading the convoy of his closest friends on a rescue mission.

He knew the world would soon be in peril. They had seen several animals attacking cows in a field just outside of the city limits. He knew it would be only a matter of time before the zombies got farther out of the city’s limits and attacked surrounding areas. It is why he had some young children in his convoy. He couldn’t risk leaving them behind in case the zombies expanded their feeding grounds. He had plenty of guns, ammunition, grenades, and various other items to defend themselves. His graying hair, once kept close-cropped, was beginning to grow out. He tucked it neatly under his faded camouflage hat.

Next to him sat his twin brother, Stanley. He was dressed in camouflage hunting attire and was holding a map to the outskirts of Valparaiso.

“This is ridiculous,” said Stanley, trying to smooth out a crease in the map. “They will probably have this road blocked. We need to get off the highway and go through the country.”

“Yeah, maybe,” said Bradley. “I don’t see any sign of a roadblock. If we leave the main road, we could lose valuable time.”

“Or lead us into a trap! Come on, brother, use your head. The military isn’t going to just let us pass through the city like nothing is happening. Hell, we already know their keeping the whole zombie thing a secret. Do you really trust them?”

Bradley looked into the side view mirror at the vehicles following behind him. He had more than his life to consider. If they did come across a military roadblock, it could pose a problem for all of them. He looked at the fuel gage. They weren’t in any immediate danger of running out of fuel. “Check the map. We know where the park is located. Is there a back road leading to it?”

Stanley followed a line with his finger on the map.
