The Apocalypse: The First Year

Hell Hath No Fury Like Ashley Scorned

"It might have been nice if we would have gotten an address from the person on the radio." Aiden chuckles as we all stand around deciding our next move. The guy on the radio didn't tell us where to go exactly in Atlanta, and from the looks of it...Atlanta isn't a small city.

"We're gonna have to search for it." Tim says.

"There's no way." Ashley shakes her head. "I lived here Tim, Atlanta's way too big." Ashley adds.

"Well what else do you suppose we do?" He looks around at the group and asks.

"We've been traveling for over a day now. I think we should get some rest and decide all this tomorrow." My suggests and Jo and Jayden nod along with her.

"Enough resting guys. We're here. We should really find this quarantine before nightfall." Tim says.

"That's only in a few hours, Tim. How do you suppose we do that?" My dad asks.

"I'm from Atlanta." Jackie speaks up. Oh, forgot she was even here. "I was away on vacation when the outbreak started, but maybe I can narrow it down a bit to places I think it might be." She says and shrugs.

"That's good, Jackie." Tim nods. "We're looking for places that would be large enough to hold massive amounts of people at once. Any places like that around here?" He asks and Jackie nods.

"A few actually." She says.

"Well, let's start at the closest ones and make our way from there." Tim says and the group agrees.

"But if we don't find it in one of the close places we stop the night, get some rest and start in the morning?" My mom asks Tim who reluctantly agrees. We all file back into our cars and drive around the surprisingly empty streets of Atlanta.

"I haven't seen a single walker." I point out to Ashley who is following behind the other two cars. My dad's van is in the front because Jackie is giving directions.

"Yeah, me either." Ashley says looking out her window.

"Maybe they're all sleeping." Aiden says from the backseat.

"Maybe you should go back to sleep." Ashley playfully snaps at her friend.

"Or grow a brain." Kyla chimes in.

"Hey!" Glen shouts at them, protecting his little boyfriend.

"Thank you." Aiden says to Glen and kisses him. I had to turn away, their cuteness is too much for me.

"I think we're here." Ashley says stopping the van as the other two vans pull to a stop.

"What is this place?" I ask looking at the massive domed building in front of me.

"The Georgia Dome, I believe." Ashley says as we get out of the car.

"This shit is huge." Aiden says behind me.

"Watch your mouth young man." My mother tells him from in front of us.

"Sorry." He mumbles to her and Glen chuckles and puts his arm around his shoulder and whispers something in his ear.

"It doesn't look like anyone is here." Owen says. "This can't be the place, can it?" He questions.

"It doesn't look that way. Maybe we should go take a look around anyways." Tim suggests.

"Sounds like a plan. Who's going and who's staying?" Ashley asks from beside me.

"Owen, Arthur, Carmen, you, and myself are going. Everyone else stays." Tim says.

"Hey! I wanna go!" I half shout. Ashley smiles.

"We need you to stay here with your brother and Aiden to guard the others."
