She laid at the bottom of a hill, blood oozed from the scrape on her arm and her bike laid in the bushes.

“RACHEL,” John hollered.

She got up and looked up to see John standing on the road. “JOHN!”

“LOOK OUT, RUN!”

Turning around, she watched an infected reach for her and fall on its face.

John hurried down the steep hill as she ran.

Looking for somewhere to hide, two more infected shuffled out from the trees.

She reached behind her back for her pistol, and her eyebrows raised as she realized it must have fell out in the fall.

Running further, she found an abandoned truck and climbed in the back for safety.

“JOHN,” she yelled as he came running.

Hurrying over to the truck, John swung his revolver into the back of an infected’s head.

Spotting a rusty tire iron under some leaves, Rachel picked it up and walked it into the other infected’s mouth.

“Be careful,” John told her as he beat the infected in the back of the head, sending Rachel’s tire iron through the back of its neck.

After the corpse fell, John picked her up and helped her out of the truck. “Are you okay?” he asked, crouching down and checking her for cuts or bites.

She nodded. “I only hurt my arm.”

He tilted his head and let out a chuckle, looking at the tiny trickle of blood on her arm. “Still better than me. When I learned to ride I was crashin’ into everything.”

Standing up, he playfully messed her hair. “Let’s grab your bike, come on, kiddo.”

John reached out his hand, and before Rachel could grab it, she woke up from a commotion in the kitchen.

“What’s wrong?” Janey asked from the other room as a man cried hysterically.

Getting out of bed and walking into the living room, Rachel saw a man covered in blood, crying his heart out.

“What happened?” Rachel asked.

“THE DEAD- I HEARD THEM SPEAK! THEY TALK- I- I- I-” The man began sobbing uncontrollably.

Rachel looked at Janey and back at the man. “Okay, well- Uh- Calm down?” She shrugged and looked back to Janey.

Janey walked over to the man and crouched down, rubbing his arm. “It’s okay, you’re safe. Tell us what happened.”

“M- M- me and Collin, we were out in the city-” He sniffled. “We got separated taking out a small group of infected and that’s when I heard one of them talk!”

“What did they say?”

“One said ‘he went that way’. He- he was talking about Coll!”

Janey looked at Rachel as she got up. “Well then... Rachel and I’ll go give it a look. Why don’t you head home, get some rest...”

The man rubbed his eyes as he stood up, trembling. “It- it was- It...” He shook his head. “It was horrifying. Hearing them speak.”

“Head home. We’ll go check it out.”

After the man left, Rachel and Janey began heading toward the city.

“So what was that about?” Rachel asked.

Janey shook her head. “Who knows. More than likely he was just hearing things, but John would check it out anyway, for reassurance, you know? Even if he thought it was a waste of time.
