I wasnt driving long before i had to stop. There were two cars parked in the middle of the road, almost like they were strategically placed to stop someone coming through. I put the car in park and turned it off. I got out of the car, and drew my gun, taking cover behind the door of the car, i yelled, "I am armed and willing to kill whoever or whatever is trying to kill me!"

I waited a moment. Soon after, the group of people before csme out of hiding with their hands in the air.

"No need to be hostile son, just lower your weapon and talk." The older man was the first to speak. He was fairly tall,  dark hair, and a scruffy beard.

"Why should i trust you?" i answered back.

"We have no reason to hurt you, i dont see any reason for you to hurt us." The younger black woman explained to me. I lowered my weapon and scratched my head. Before i could even think about what i could do, i heard a gunshot, and the clang of the bullet hitting metal. I ducked behind the door and drew my weapon.

"What the fuck happened to being civil?" i shouted across the pavement.

I looked over the door and shot my gun. I heard a scream of pain. I hit the older man in the leg, he fell down and crawled to cover. I heard the younger boy, he was yelling to stop shooting. Instinctively, i looked behind me. Sure enough, there was a herd of walkers scuffling their way towards us. Perfect.
