Brace face and the apocalypse: the search for an orthodontist

Chapter 6: to Sydney

Lyle was on his motorbike leading the horde to a construction site that was unfinished so there was just a massive hole left by the workers when they got infected.

Lyle swerved to the left and all the undead following him got confused and fell in the ditch one by one. He stopped his bike and saw a bulldozer and walked towards the construction site around the hole and opened the door and got in and started the engine and made his way back to town.

Back in town he saw the horde with a gap down the middle were Sam and Edith entered but the gap was too small for Lyle to enter it was a good thing he had the bulldozer because he knew they'd be a horde trapping them inside it was good thinking.

Lyle backed up the bulldozer and then sped into the building crushing the door down, mushing up all the horde into a dripping red mess.

Sam and Edith looked and saw the door flatten and the light of the sun shine in at them, Edith and Sam smiled as they saw Lyle pop his head out the door and waved.

Edith and Sam moved onto the road passed the gooey mess onto the road and Lyle got out the Bulldozer and pressed a button on his keys and his motorcycle came back to him.

Edith hugged Lyle and was glad he saved them and Lyle was impressed at how they worked together and survived.

Lyle asked if they found the doctor, Edith said no and he turned undead but there might be a chance his boss Frank another skilled orthodontist was still alive and they needed to go to his office all the way in Sydney by the sea.

Lyle said he'll take them their and Sam and Edith got on the back of the bike and Sam got in the cart on the side of the bike and they headed off to Sydney

They followed the coast because it was the easiest way to know were they are, night came and they decided to park by some palm trees off by the road and sleep.

Lyle parked the bike on the grassy area and Edith and Sam got off the bike and sat leaning by the bike.
Lyle got off the bike and sat on a log opposite Sam and Edith.

Sam struck some sticks together and made fire, they sat nice and warm by the crackling fire taking in the warmness.

Sam got up and walked to the grass and on the floor was a backpack, he opened it up and there was beans and sausage in a tin.

Sam gave it to Lyle and Lyle took out an arrow and opened the lid with the sharpness of it, he rested the bottom of the tin on the fire warming the beans and heating it up.

Sam reached for the bag again and saw two spoons, he picked them up and gave it to Edith, the beans were cooked and they dunked a spoon in and ate, Edith thought the beans were delicious she hadn't had anything to eat in two days so it was nice to have something to eat.

Lyle got out his bag and unzipped it and pulled out bottles of water and gave it to Edith and Sam, they took some gulps of the drinks and gasped afterwards because they really needed that drink.

It was time to go to bed and Sam and Edith lay on the grass looking up at the night sky with the sparkling stars and decided to count them to try and fall asleep.

Lyle rested his head on his bike and fell to sleep.

Next day the roaring of a car going passed woke Lyle,  Sam and Edith up and they woke up and wondered what the noise was, they saw the car and it kept moving then it came to a halt like it had broken down.

Some guy in a dentist coat got out the car and walked to the other side and opened the door and let a boy out the same age as Sam, Edith recognised the coat as the same one John's dentistry staff wear to work,  maybe they could learn something from him.

Lyle pulled the bow from his back and jumped from the grassy area and aimed it at the man Sam and Edith stepped beside Lyle as he aimed his bow and the man jumped in fright as they saw them jump from the bushes and raised his hands.

Lyle asked if the man worked for Bonhers dental practice and the man said yes, Edith chimed in and aimed her slingshot at the man and he raised his hands up even more scared and frightened and asked there was nobody in the practice except for two people so how could there have been survivors.

The man raised his hands and explained that he was helping John unload the new dental medicine ready to stock it to the shelves in an overnight shift and saw the infected gather to the door so before they got there he fought through and got passed them and called his super intendant Frank and he said he was working on something but wouldn't tell him what only there was a  sanctuary full of people at Sydney opera house and he was going there but then the car broke down and now they were here.

Edith asked how could the man abandon his boss and not help him if he helped then John would never have gotten bitten and infected, the man shed a tear down his cheek and said he was sorry he just wanted to get to safety because he was scared.

Lyle lowered his Bow and Sam lowered his pistol and Edith lowered her slingshot because they saw the man shed a tear and they forgave him, Edith said they needed to find Franks office to get the braces off he's the only one who had the tools left to do it he's the only one that had an office left.

The man said supposably some water, food and supplies in the Opera house according to Frank the man suggested they should steal a six seater car and they could camp out at the safe haven and rest up.

Lyle saw a six seater mini van resting on the road, he pried open the door and got in the front and hot wired the car quickly to work, Lyle put his hands on the accelerator and it revved up, he went to the grassy area and picked up his bike, opened the boot and put the bike in and closed the boot.

Lyle drove because he didn't trust the man's words it was a thing to see to believe and Edith sat next to him in the co pilots seat, the man and his son got in the very back and Sam sat behind Edith.

And they started the engine and set course for Sydney for there was more of this adventure to come.
