CHAPTER FIVE

“Thanks,” Wendy said. “This is going to be really helpful.”

The guys recovered from their skirmish, wolfing down a few sandwiches and chugging water.

Zion nodded. “Of course. We have to help each other, right?”

“I don’t wanna watch next time,” Monique joked, ruffling his hair. “That was terrifying.”

Calvin puffed out his chest. “Oh, they were never in any real danger with me covering them.”

“That’s right, thank you man,” Jeremy said around a mouthful of peanut butter and jelly. He swallowed quickly. “I would have been boned if it weren’t for you.”

The sniper patted him on the shoulder. “No problem.”

“Adam told me that the 205 bridge over Government Island has a lane clear now,” Wendy said. “He was able to get a tow truck in there a few days ago and make it accessible.”

Zion nodded. “That’s good news. We’re going to head over there now.” He stood up, brushing the crumbs off of his pants. “Thanks for the PB and J.”

“They’re making as much bread as they can while the flour is still good,” Monique said. “Maybe someday we’ll be able to grow wheat and make our own.”

Shawn raised his hand. “I officially volunteer myself to help Zion on runs every day instead of milling wheat with rocks.”

Monique laughed. “It was just a thought. Probably not a super viable one for what it would yield.”

“Fresh bread is fucking amazing, though,” Calvin said as he finished off his sandwich. “I didn’t even eat this good before the apocalypse.”

“Mac and cheese and pizza and beer?” Jeremy teased as they headed for the door.

Calvin held up a finger. “And only the finest ketchup. Mac and cheese is garbage without ketchup.”

“You’re disgusting, man.” Jeremy laughed.

Zion gave his sister a kiss on the cheek and she gave his shoulder an affectionate squeeze as they parted.

“Be safe,” she said. “And take care of that idiot.” She inclined her head towards Calvin, who was regaling Jeremy with tales of his bachelor recipes.

Zion laughed. “We take care of each other.”

The quartet loaded up into the truck once again and fired it up, driving around the block to see the fence coming up nicely on their way out.

Calvin finished a victory joint with Jeremy just as Zion pulled up close to Adam’s place.

“Fuck,” Jeremy breathed as they gazed at the sea of zombies clustered around the outside of the building.

Adam waved at them from the roof, and then spread his arms and shrugged as if to say hey, what can you do?

Zion shook his head and drove forward, plowing over corpses so that the truck was right beside the building. Calvin opened the hatch behind him to get into the back of the truck, and the quartet slithered through it one at a time. They pulled down the ladder that Adam had installed for them and opened yet another top hatch that he’d outfitted so they could transport goods this way if they had to.

Zion popped out of the door holding a crate of canned goods.

“Hello there,” Adam greeted with a smile.
