A couple of hours, and still no zombie horde later, the mood in the car was becoming despondent.

“I mean, there are still zombies out there, right?” Joe asked, drumming his fingers on the wheel impatiently. “Because I’m starting to wonder if this whole thing ended, and we just never got the memo.”

“They’re definitely still out there,” Violet insisted. “We were almost killed by them yesterday.” She and the guys had already gone back to the depot, but there were no biters inside. But at least it meant the group could come back for another bus in a few days.

“We need to think of a place people would go to feel safe,” Matt began. “Those are always the ones that end up getting overrun.”

“A church?” Violet suggested.

“Possible. Are there many around here?”

“Yeah,” Joe replied. “But I don’t think we’ll find any biters there. Ezra had us raiding the places for communion wine and anything else worth stealing. His soldiers came with us and killed any biters we found.”

“When was this?” Violet asked. She had no memory of that whatsoever.

“Not long after we arrived.”

“Oh.”

“You didn’t go too?” Matt asked.

“No.”

“Why?”

“I wasn’t ready.”

Joe cleared his throat. “It wasn’t long after you…you know…died.”

“I didn’t do much for the first few weeks,” Violet said, her voice low.

“I’m sorry.” Matt reached back, squeezing her hand.

“Guys, please don’t forget I’m still in the car,” Joe said.

Matt smiled, squeezing her hand once more and then let go. “I was meaning to ask; how did you join up with Ezra anyway?”

“We were in a house,” Joe began. “Not our cottage. After what happened at the warehouse we couldn’t go back home. We drove for hours and found some place in the middle of nowhere. We stayed there for a while.”

Violet shuddered. She couldn’t remember much from back then. She had been living in a state of semi-consciousness, feeling more like a zombie than she ever had before or since.

Joe continued. “After about a week, Jack and Lex and a couple of others arrived. They’d come to see if the house had supplies, they didn’t know we were there. They invited us to Harmony, and we said yes. It wasn’t like we’d been doing so great on our own anyway, and they said their community was safe.” He snorted, then his eyes widened. “I know where we need to go.”

“What?”

“For the biters, I know where we’ll find them.”

“Where?”

“Where’s everyone’s favourite place to run during the zompocalypse?”
