Caught With the Pin-up Girl

Liam came out of the restroom and found he had beaten Victoria. He'd even taken an extra few seconds to wipe off his face in the sink and slick back his filthy hair.

Not wanting to go far, he stood against the wall to both wait for her and watch for trouble. He felt naked without a gun, but as far as he could tell none of the other people carried guns, either. At least, not openly.

While he held up the wall, a pair of attractive middle-age women rushed by. They both wore tight jeans and heavy leather boots, but also wore loose-fitting blouses that did nothing to hide their bras. One seemed to drag the other by her hand as they went into the ladies' room. He tried to guess whether they were drivers or locals, but also considered whether they were passengers or even slaves. His mind went down the rabbit hole of possibilities fueled by all the end-of-the-world books in his inventory. Women, it seemed, always got the worst of things when civil society broke apart and now he was watching it all happen in real time.

His curiosity ran rampant, but the women were long gone before he thought to ask them about their station. Someday he was going to write a book about his adventures and it would be great to interview women like that, for some local flavor. To kill the time, he tried to imagine the stories of other people walking in and out, but he didn't dare ask them.

We're in a truck stop surrounded by zombies. How much more do you need?

He hid his smirk lest anyone think he was there to cause trouble.

For the next several minutes he avoided eye contact and tried to make himself disappear in the hallway. The crowd was mostly unshaven men rushing in and out of the bathroom. When finished, they often fast-walked right out the front door like their trucks were going to leave without them.

Victoria finally came out, but she was pale white like she'd seen a horrible murder.

“What is it?” he asked.

“Come on. We have to go.” She grabbed his hand and pulled but stopped before he'd taken his first step. “You did your business, didn't you?”

He laughed. “Yeah, I did my transaction, thanks. Took you long enough.”

“There are only a few stalls,” she replied as she pulled him for real this time. “And I waited extra to listen to a pair of women talk about their mysterious cargo.”

He spoke in a low voice. “Is that some kind of sex term people use in these nasty public restrooms?”

Victoria looked over her shoulder with a scowl. “Just come with me. We've got to get back to the truck and talk to Dave.”

“I'm ready to go,” he added. “I'm never going to forget the smell, though. That bakery smell needs to be bottled and sold for less than fifty lousy bucks.”

“From sex to food. You sound like a typical teen boy when you aren't in mortal danger.
