The narrow tunnel opened up into a room that was larger than anyone in the group expected. The ceiling shone a metallic silver and stood a good twelve feet above them. Zack looked up as he stepped out from the darkness and into the light of the bunker, seeing the blurred reflection of himself above. The walls glistened with the same silver as the ceiling and spread out to encompass at least a thousand square feet in that one room alone. Within the walls were heavy metal doors, each about twelve feet apart, evenly spaced, all the way around. Zack’s eyes moved along the walls, wondering what was behind each door. He had to remind himself to let his guard down and give the place and people a fair chance because a part of him wanted to believe nothing good could be behind them.

“This is incredible,” Gretchen mused in awe.

The others murmured their agreement as they spun to take it all in.

“Yeah, my dad was a bit of a nut if truth be told. He survived several wars and had a touch of PTSD and paranoia. Thank God for that or we wouldn’t have this underground habitat to live in, right?” Mac chuckled again and this time it infected some of the others, if only with optimistic smiles.

“Your dad built all of this?” Zack asked, hoping he hid the skepticism that crept through his heart and mind.

“Sure did. The man had more money than he knew what to do with, bless his soul. He believed the end was near, that aliens, or another race superior to us was going to come in and take over and that the family would need somewhere to hide out till they could be defeated. Guess he wasn’t entirely crazy, the old cook. Not saying these dead things are superior to us or nothing, but they sure did do a number on humanity.”

Zack nodded his head, still twisting his body and craning his neck to examine his surroundings. He felt the gentle warmth of another arm rest up against his. Christine had made her way forward from the back of the group and stopped next to her friend. Her face was smeared with bits of dirt. Her usually vibrant honey blonde hair looked dusty and ragged, pulled back into a long hanging ponytail. He could tell she was guarded as well, not fully accepting of the gift of safety and opportunity they’d just been given. “Nothing comes so simply” was what her eyes said. There had to be a catch. There had to be a downside to all this good. If there was, Zack would find it. There was no way he was going to let anything happen to his group.

Imani walked past them, raised her hand without stopping to slap it against Mac’s palm, and continued onward into the room. She made her way to one of the uniformed doors, opened it, and disappeared behind it without a word.

“Kid’s glad to be back home, huh?” Mac said as he smiled with familiarity at Luke.
