CHAPTER 48: QUIT FUCKING AROUND, SERGEANT

Sergeant Diamond opened the driver door of the Humvee and shoved the metal case inside. He turned back toward the trail to see Clarke run past the Humvee and climb into the driver's seat of the Pit Bull. As the big vehicle's engine roared to life, two deaders rolled down the trail and smashed into the front tires. One of them tried to get to its feet, but its legs were broken at odd angles, so the deader was reduced to pulling itself along the bottom of the Humvee with its one remaining hand. The second deader stood up on unsteady legs and slowly stumbled in Diamond’s direction. More and more of the flesh eaters were rolling and sliding down the steep trail, beating some of the soldiers to the bottom. His adrenalin starting to wane, Diamond brought his mini-14 up to his shoulder and fired at the oncoming deader. The first shot took off the dead man's ear. Unfazed, the hungry reanimated corpse continued staggering toward its intended meal. Diamond fired again, stopping the deader cold. The body stiffened, dropped its arms to its sides, and then fell face first to the ground.

"Fucking weird," Diamond said under his breath. Shaking, he wiped some sweat from his eyes and lowered his rifle. The sergeant was exhausted. He couldn’t wait to get aboard the plane and get home to his twin golden Labradors. He knew both dogs were probably missing him by now. Whenever Diamond was gone on assignment, his mother would come to his condo and take care of his Labs. "Don’t worry, girls," he said aloud as he looked up to see if he could help any of the others coming down the trail. "Daddy will bring you home something nice!"

In one quick, smooth motion, Diamond suddenly disappeared under the Humvee.

The presidents both made it down the steep trail as the bodies of the undead tumbled down after them. Both men ran past the Humvee and over to the Pit Bull. Jefferson flung open the side door of the running tactical vehicle and shoved Washington inside. Using the open door as cover, Jefferson changed out the magazines of his weapon and started to pick off the deaders that were trying to get to their feet. Washington climbed up into the turret of the Pit Bull and did the same.

"Plenty of booty out here," Jefferson shouted up to Washington as he destroyed the forehead of a one-armed female headed his way.

"Fuck you, Jeff!" He fired at a couple of deaders that were crawling in the Humvee’s direction. “Wish I never would have said anything.”

Zoe West and Gonzo struggled down the trail with the big German between them. The three reached the bottom of the trail and hurried over to the parked Hummer. The deaders that had crashed down the trail ahead of them were being put down by the presidents on the Pit Bull behind them. Zoe let go of Wolf and pulled open the rear passenger door of the vehicle.
