Chapter Seven

He made it back to the yard by afternoon, feeling like he was toting gold in the backpack. Food and water, a better map than the first, matches and flashlights and a pair of binoculars, he also had a belt holster and three handguns. The revolver had only three cartridges in its cylinder, but that was three shots he wasn’t going to pass by. The other two were fully loaded semi-automatic pistols.

He had wanted a shotgun or something equally impressive, and more magazines for his rifle, yet he felt a lot better with the little he had. One of his new guns had been under a mattress, and the other on a high shelf in a closet. Ridiculously, he had come across the revolver while looking for food in a kitchen cabinet. It had just been sitting there atop the dusty cans of soup. Whoever once lived in that home had been an oddball. The gun on the soup was par for the course. There was a plasma television in the hallway, a bizarre location unless one intended to watch it from the toilet. And that was apparently what the owner had done. The remote was still sitting on the sink and the door was propped open. On the messy floor of the bedroom had been a knot of belts, and Xan had unwound the one that he was wearing now. He was going to affix the holster to it and put a handgun inside.

In the hours he had been gone, he encountered three zombies. One had been dead for so long that grass had grown over what was left of it. The second and third were wandering around Lilac, which was where Rose terminated. Xan had nearly had a disaster at the last house he planned to search: he’d dropped into the backyard just as a zombie staggered down the driveway. He got back over the fence in the nick of time and watched through a crack in the boards. There was a filthy green, older hybrid sitting in the carport that he wanted to check out. A back window was cracked open. The gas in the tank wouldn’t be good, but if the battery still had a charge, then they had a car.

The zombie had entered the backyard and roamed around for so long that Xan had called it quits and doubled back. Of the dozen houses he’d tried to enter, five had been locked up tight. Three had unlocked back doors. The last four were locked but had open windows, or windows that were closed but not locked. The semi-automatic pistols had come from the same home, but try as he might, he couldn’t find additional ammunition for them. It either didn’t exist, or was hidden so well that he hadn’t stumbled over it.

Selena was awake and overjoyed to have him back. Throwing him side-eye when he took a water gun out of the backpack, she said, “Is that supposed to be for me?”

He pressed on the tab to make sure it wasn’t leaking.
