“This is more than two hundred feet.” Rose was looking from the pipe sticking out of the ground to the tracks.

“Two fifty would be my guess.” Tommy had locked the buckle onto the pipe and pulled out the opening tool.

“Um.”

“It’s not a garden hose; we should be able to shoot water for about sixty feet.”

“Um.”

He stopped what he was doing to stand. “I’m listening.”

“So, we’re going to stand here with a high-pressure hose trying to drain three-point shots from half-court?”

“Basketball reference? I never really liked the sport. More into jousting. Come on, help me roll this thing out.”

“There’s going to be zombies,” Rose said once they were done.

“Looking forward to it,” he told her as he lifted the end.

“Oh, right, we’ve got a water cannon now. Are we going to be able to hold that?”

“I was on a bucket brigade in Kansas once while a house was burning down during the Dust Bowl. That’s the most experience I have in firefighting.”

“The Dust Bowl? How old are you?”

“Train’s almost here, you should turn the water on.”

“We’re not through here,” she told him as she jogged off. The hose bucked in his hands, becoming heavy and rigid when she opened the valve.

Tommy flipped the large brass lever to let water flow, he moved his left leg back to brace himself as he got familiar with the forces. He held it at a forty-five-degree angle and was pleased as the water sailed over the tracks.

“Rose!” he called back as he closed the end.

“Yeah.” He was surprised she’d been able to come upon him completely unnoticed.

“I’m not going to be able to do anything else. Once I start filling the train, you’re, going to have to watch our backs.”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” she told him as she pulled off her backpack and placed four claymore mines around them.

“Do you ever leave home not prepared to destroy a city?”

“With what Captain Talbot gets us into? It’d be silly not to.”

“Good point.”

“I can see you,” Stenzel said. “I was hoping you’d be closer.”

“This’ll work,” Tommy assured her.

“Beginning to brake, we stopped early to thin them out, you’re still looking at somewhere close to thirty on foot.”

“We’ll be fine, Rose laid out the welcome mat.”

“Be there soon, out,” she said.

“Did you know I was going to be a beautician?” Rose told Tommy as she ran her lines.

“I have a hard time seeing you perming hair.”

“I was going to do nails, actually. It was the smell of the chemicals that turned me off. That and one of the people that came to the school for a freebie had a rampant case of toenail fungus.”

“What?” Tommy asked as he helped her set up.

“Older guy, mid-forties, wanted a mani-pedi. Handsome enough, dressed to the nines in traditional women’s clothing; he had these high heels on that I don’t think I could have afforded after a year of working. God, I wanted those shoes, not the size, though. Looked like a pair of patent leather canoes. How he got a women’s shoe in a man-sized fourteen is beyond me.
