Chapter Ten

We continue our sweep and we kill a shit load of zombies, but they are adapting to our tactics. They stay, for the most part, just on the edge of the stun zone our wall of sound buys us. We are still picking off the ones that get too close and we are racking up good numbers just doing that. Most of what we are killing are common Feeders with a handful of Singers and Screamers tossed in.

No more Burners.

When we reach the come back point on our estimated battery life, we start the swing back homeward. I find myself wondering about how the other team is doing, if they can match our numbers, well then, we have done a good days work.

A young black kid Matt has been training, named Maceo Freeman, leads the team keeping their eyes upward to warn us of and hopefully counter act any Jumpers coming our way.

Except that they aren’t.

Which makes me really fucking nervous.

Because, if the Jumpers aren’t going to be the main threat, then sure as shit something nastier is going to be.

“If they aren’t here brother, I am starting to have a nasty feeling of where they might be.” Matt tells me as he slowly scans the perimeter. He is white knuckling his shotgun.

That had occurred to me as well, maybe this divide and conquer shit wasn’t such a great idea. Good idea or not, it is what we are doing, so no time to second guess the plan now.

“Team Red is on their own, just like we are. Let’s pick up the pace and get all these brave fucks home in one piece, shall we?” I tell him with a small attempt at a grin.

“Roger that.” He tells me.

And then he dies.

A Jumper bursts through the plate glass window next to us and tears into Matt, dragging him down to the street and ripping into him with claws and teeth.

“No!” I scream, as I bring my gun up.

Three other guys beat me to the punch, blasting the damn freak into a bloody smear on the pavement.

I stand over what is left of my friend, swallowing the feelings down that I don’t have time for right now. Somebody picks up his shotgun and steps slowly away, it is far to valuable to leave in a puddle of blood on the street, but the look on my face must be scary enough to make reaching for it a caution inducing decision.

Matt is dead and we can’t even spare him the decency of a funeral, none of us would make it back alive, these days, if we tried to bring the dead back with us on runs. We honor them in spirit as best we can, but their flesh stays on the streets.

Clock is ticking, we have to keep moving.

“Heads up people! Kick it in the ass and triple time it, kill everything that gets in our damn way.” I shout while I am hand signaling people into their positons.

No time to stun and gun our way home.
