Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“Why are we in a Motel 6?”

“It was open.”

“They were all open.”

“This one didn’t have any broken windows.”

“So?”

“So it’s forty degrees out. It’s cold, and I can’t sleep well in the cold.”

“God, you’re weird.”

“Yeah, Charlie says that a lot, too.”

“He’s right a lot.”

“Shut up.”

The two men bickered like old friends, which is exactly what they were. They had known each other for a long time, even before the Upheaval, and by some miracle they were still around to give each other hell.

Tommy stretched. “I’m going to go back to my room and sleep. I’ve had enough losses at cards to last me a while. Are you going to give me my ammo back?” The two men had used their cartridges as money to bet with.

“Only the little stuff.” Duncan laughed.

“You suck, and you probably cheated,” Tommy said, scooping up his pistol ammo.

“Probably. See you in the morning.”

Tommy paused on his way out the door. “Do you think we did the right thing sending most of the army north to clear out Kansas and Nebraska while we play around here with just five hundred fighters?”

Duncan shrugged. “Whose idea was it?”

“Yours.

“Then yes, it was a good idea.”

Tommy laughed. “Christ. I’m outta here.” He left the room, and Duncan was by himself. They were spending the night in a small motel on the outskirts of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Rio Grande was just a little ways to the east, and beyond that was the city proper. Tommy and Duncan had led the army through Texas, picking up fighters and dropping them off as they cleared out zombie stronghold after zombie stronghold. Dallas was a lost cause, but surprisingly Houston was not. The people there managed to contain their outbreaks and maintain their safety. They were down to half their original population, but it was far better than some other communities.

Other towns fared better; the ones that were further away from the main roads and cities did just fine. It was the same story across most of the state which was why Tommy and Duncan accelerated the push across the state into New Mexico. There were still large populations of zombies in the southern part of the state, but they were running short on time and needed to start the long sweep across the southwest and up to the north. Based on what they had to do, Arizona was going to have to wait.

In the morning, Duncan and Tommy were on the roof of the hotel, looking out over the river at the city. Ten of their commanders were with them who would convey the orders of the day down to the squads. Most of the orders were understood standing orders: Don’t do anything stupid, and try not to die. The rest pretty much consisted of working their way through the city and trying to root out as many zombies as they could. The plan was to take a small group through the city, get the zombies to start chasing, then take them to a killing zone where the rest of the fighters were waiting.
