Veronica and Timber zoomed through town in the Jeep. They caught glimpses of their attackers still on the run from the sick monsters, but they didn’t stop.

The Jeep bolted down the asphalt at ninety miles per hour, and the nightmare town quickly disappeared from view. Open fields and nothingness again surrounded them. Timber whimpered in the seat next to her and his big paws scraped at the leather. Veronica placed a shaking hand on his head.

“I know. Mother Nature calls.” She slowed the Jeep and watched the land around them for movement. When she was sure they were alone, she pulled to the shoulder, removed the lead from Timber’s neck, and let him hop out. She kept scanning the area until he finished doing his business. She then kept the Jeep running and popped a squat to relieve herself as well, not bothering to cover herself.

They loaded back in the Jeep and she gave them both some water and waited for her hands to stop shaking. Timber laid his head in her lap and closed his eyes. She picked up her gun and figured out how to open the clip to check for bullets. She had two. Veronica pulled the box of bullets from her bag and filled the clip with what was in it. Nine bullets total. That was better than none, but they definitely needed to be used sparingly. She opened a can of beans, pulled back onto the road, and poured the can into her mouth as she drove. Timber slept peacefully. Every time she looked down at his gigantic head covering her lap, she smiled.

She checked the time and referenced the map. The holdup in Walcaster cost her precious time. She would barely make it to the pickup spot-on time. An hour later they rolled into the next town, Hickory. It was smaller than the last and seemed pretty much intact. Curtains drawn on every window, even the shops. Veronica saw curtains twitch and felt she was being watched. A couple of sick with black veins ran up to her Jeep, but she easily passed them when she increased speed.

Timber was up and staring out the window at the countryside, his tail slowly wagging across the seat. He was so easily pleased. Veronica’s eyes landed on the gas gauge. Right at a quarter of a tank. That wouldn’t be enough to get her to the pickup point. She used the fancy dashboard buttons to find the Jeep’s miles per gallon and then pulled to the side of the road to evaluate the map. She studied all of her route options, but none of them could get her there without more gas.

“Well, fuck.” Timber’s ears perked up. Veronica turned off the engine and hopped from the Jeep with the big dog by her side. Veronica took her little gas can and poured what was left in it into the Jeep’s tank. She tossed the plastic can into the back as she climbed into the driver’s seat and immediately regretted not putting the cap back on it as the smell of gas filled the Jeep.
