Chapter 9

Lily and Edgar were waiting for us at the Kia. She had just got back from getting his pack from the house and was frantically searching for the keys, which I had liberated from her during the night. I held them up and shook them as I approached. “I'm driving today.”

“No you're not,” Lily answered.

“Oh yes I am. I sat in the back all day yesterday.”

“We don't have time for this. You two need to get this shit settled,” John said.

He was right. The mob was getting closer. In a few minutes they would be on us. “Just get in,” I said.

Lily came over to me and whispered to me. “Did you have a good time last night?”

“You know I did,” I answered.

“If you want that to happen again,” she whispered, “you'll give me those keys.”

I handed her the keys and went around to the passenger side and got in the front seat.

Lily threw Edgar's bag in the back and got in the Kia. John got in the backseat and we all sat there staring at Edgar, who still stood outside the SUV.

“I have to get to my wife and kids,” he said.

John leaned across the seat and opened the door. “We're going to take you to them. Just get in.”

“Do you know where they are?” he said as he got in.

“Yeah, they're at the farm,” John said.

“That's great. Do you know how to get there?”

“No,” Lily said, “but I bet you do.”

“It's about fifteen miles due east of here,” Edgar said, pointing in the direction of the rising sun. “This road turns into a two lane highway about five miles from here. The farm is right next to the highway.”

Edgar was pointing down the road that the horde had traveled down last night. Unless something caused them to change direction they would be to the farm sometime today. Lily stomped on the gas and turned down the road.

“Edgar, is there another way to the farm?” Lily asked.

“Yes, but this takes us right to it. We can be there in less than half an hour. Especially if you keep driving like this.”

I didn't see any reason to panic Edgar so I lied. “The road is washed out ahead. We'll have to go around.”

“How far down is it washed out from here? I can probably get us around it. There are several side streets we can take.”

“I need one that takes us a few miles from this road and gets us closest to your farm,” Lily said.

“Just tell him,” John said.

“Tell me what?”

“There's a horde of zombies in front of us. They moved through here last night. If we hurry we can beat them to the farm,” I said.

“Can't we just drive through them?”

“Edgar, I want you to listen very closely to me,” Lily said. “Did you notice that the big Elm tree that was in front of your house was gone?”

“Come to think of it I don't remember seeing it. With everything that was going on though I could have missed it and there were a lot of dead zombies all over the place.
