Chapter Twenty-Seven

I snap out of my fear-paralysis state and head toward the door. Pushing Rose inside, I shut the door behind me. We tell Mom and Kally what we saw and Mom says it's time to get the guys and get out of here. As we leave the storeroom, Mom is slammed to the floor by an undead who comes at her from the side.

Rose screams-Oh, lovely! Now we should gather a crowd!-and Kally raises her gun. I stop her and remind her she might hit Mom, so instead, Kally goes over and kicks the undead with her boot as Mom is struggling with it, holding it up and away from her face.

His head shoots to the side-that kick probably would have knocked out a normal man-but it doesn't do much for this guy, and he goes right back for Mom. I stand behind Mom's head and Kally straddles them both, standing behind the zombie.

Grabbing under his arms, Kally pulls him back and up. She leans him to the right away from herself just enough for me to be able to shoot and not risk the bullet passing through and shooting her. I shoot him and he relaxes. Kally shoves him off to the side and we help Mom stand.

Before we even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, we're being surrounded. Forming a circle with our backs to each other, we start shooting. My gun and then Rose's gun runs out of ammo, and my heart stops for a few beats. There are too many for two of us not to be shooting! And then disaster strikes. Before I can even get the ammo out of my pocket, Mom, and then one shot later, Kally runs out of ammo.

I scream at them to make a run for the storeroom door and we kick and push our way through. My mind is racing the whole time, trying to figure out what to do. Climb the shelves? No. They would have them knocked over in no time. Go outside? Maybe. Sure. Why not?

"To the back door. Hurry!" I scream at them. Light floods the room as Mom slams the door open. We all fly inside the back of the semi and I shut the back door of the store. Immediately, we hear banging and watch in horror as the door shakes hard in its frame. Good God! Is it going to hold? Why take a chance?

I look around and realize there is no way we can lock ourselves from inside the back of the truck. Would we be safe in the cab? Damn it! Then Mom yells at us to climb to the roof. Duh! I guess that's why she's the mom and I'm the kid.

We all climb up the ladder to the roof and sink to our butts, exhausted from the adrenaline rush and the fight. I just pray the guys are on alert when they come back to the storeroom.

Mom pulls out her cell, and I immediately know who she's calling and, once again, I have a "Duh" moment.
