Lucas surveyed the large town in the middle of the desert. It sat on a hill, an oversized mansion at the top and buildings cascading down the slopes. Desert spread out behind the town in all directions with the occasional mountain or hill. Tress lined the streets and homes, lush and green against the stone and wood buildings. Tower Falls looked like an inviting oasis in an arid desert.

The sun beat down on the small group as they stood; their bikes behind them. The heat was oppressive as they mulled about, eyeing the town like it was going to rise up into a giant monster and stomp on them. Kira gazed out with Holly at her side. Selena wiped her brow as the sun fried her delicate skin. Lucas turned his gaze from the town in the distance and looked to Selena as she wilted in the sun.

“You can’t stay out here all day,” the biker said with concern.

Selena shook her head, “If I go in there, they’ll detect me.”

Kira crossed her arms, “If Asher is there, they already know about us.”

“We can’t stay out here, we’ll bake to death,” Holly added as she wiped sweat from her brow.

Lucas looked to Kira’s sword hanging behind her and the sawed-off shotgun holstered at her hip, “Plus there is no way we can hide that sword of yours.”

Kira looked to the biker and grinned, “I’m guessing we’re just going to have to walk through the front door.”

Selena let out a sigh as her shoulders wilted a little more, “I think we may not have a choice. I thought for sure there would be some place out here I could wait but the motel was the last shred of civilization until now.”

Lucas eyed the group before pressing fingers to his chin stubble, “New plan. We go in and investigate together. We don’t split up and try to play it cool until nightfall when Stella can rejoin us. They must have a motel or hotel. We get a room and stay there.”

Kira turned her attention to the town in the middle of nowhere, “News travels fast in towns. They will know as soon as we enter. We have to stay alert and assume anywhere we go we are being watched”.

“Our only other option is to leave, and I’m too close to turn back now,” Lucas said with a heavy heart.

“Same,” Kira and Holly said in unison.

Selena was quiet as she turned and gazed out into the desert. Eyes squinting in the brilliant light, she could see dark figures shambling off in the open desert. Their movements were jerky and strange. A chill flowed down her spine and she repressed a shudder.

“We may have to go in,” Selena pointed out at the several dark figures miles away. “The dead walk the desert. It seems the sun won’t protect us.”

All eyes turned to see the dead walking. Kira pulled her sheathed sword and walked over to her motorcycle. She opened up a small leather side flap, slid the sword in and closed the flap.
