CHAPTER 16

The drive to Silverleaf was long, with so many twists and turns I began to feel a little car sick. Lawson had opened the small window in the glass petition between us and handed me a slip of paper from his notepad. Apparently Terrence was taking the long route in an effort to avoid central Phoenix, where the infected were concentrated. We still saw the occasional zombie, stumbling along the road or curbside with ungainly movements and bloodied clothes. Every now and again their wobbly head would snap into the air and they’d zero in on us as we moved past them. They’d even run in an effort to chase us down which was a monumental waist of effort. The infected didn’t have the brain power to know there was no chance of running down our vehicle, they just saw fresh meat. It made me wonder what made them want to attack the living like that. It wasn’t like they were devouring anything and everything, or each other for that matter. The infected wanted to attack healthy people. Perhaps it was some form of driving need to spread the virus. I made a mental note to ask Lawson once we were alone.

The countryside was typical of this area, dry and flat, in varying shades of grey and brown with the occasional twiggy greenery interspersed. Silverleaf was at the back of the outer suburbs, so the infected became few and far between as the sun slowly began to sink low on the horizon. According to my map Silverleaf was tucked into the canyons of the McDowell Mountains, and at first glance it looked like a sprawling castle, minus the turrets. The buildings were made from cobbled stone which gave the place an old-world feel. A lush, smooth, green golf course butted up against the building. The contrast in colors against the stone walls of the club, the emerald green grass, and the surrounding desert was stunning. A few lights glowed, probably not as many as normal, but enough to bring a smile to my face. Noah and I were on our knees, peering over the top of the Ford’s cab as we watched our approach. A glance in my sister’s direction saw the same excitement churning in my stomach echoed in her face. This looked good. It looked better than good, it looked fucking heavenly. Noah might have some grand biblical idea of heaven, but this right here in front of me, it was as close to holy divinity as I would allow my mind to conjure.

Terrence slowly drove us up the long drive and pulled the truck into a beautiful courtyard, its centerpiece being a gorgeous water fountain. There were two other vehicles parked there, and my smile grew so big my cheeks actually ached. More cars! Lawson helped with our backpacks, and Terrence escorted us towards the front door with an eager smile.

“Your friend doesn’t say much,” Terrence noted. Lawson was standing right there but acted like he hadn’t heard anything.
