"Mhm." He pulls the bike out of the way. I move to the other side of the driveway. He looks around while we wait. Holly pulls the impala out and starts down the road pausing to make sure we are following. He follows her looking around as he does so. I follow him doing the same. Every now and then I find myself sneaking glances at him. About thirty minutes in he pulls up next to Holly signaling her to stop pointing to a truck. Holly nods and pulls over. I follow her action and pull over as well. "Alright... now we just need to get them up on the back..." he says shutting his bike off and propping it up on it’s kickstand.

"Ok" I say mimicking the action as he goes over to a garage and opens it. He walks in and looks around.

 "Come help me look for something to use as a ramp olivianne, please"

"Okay." I say as I head towards him I look around and find some boards that should be good enough. "Will these work?"

"Yeah maybe... we'll give it a shot." He says picking them up before he goes back to the truck.

"So what would you like me to do?" I ask following him.

"Walk the bike up onto the back while I hold the boards."

"Okay." I say as I walk over to my bike. He holds the boards in place as I walk my bike up the boards. It goes on smooth.

"Ok, now we just need to get mine, same thing, but mine is going to be heavier than yours."

"Um guys I think we have a little company" holly says. Jack and I look up to see a herd of at least 20 coming towards us.

"They are extremely slow, relax, come on Olivianne the sooner we get that bike on here the sooner we can leave." He says as he holds the boards.

"Okay" I say as I go over to his bike and begin to push it towards the truck handling the weight extremely well. That was until I get to the boards where it becomes a little bit of a struggle to push it up. "Now you decide to give me trouble?" I say to the bike. While holding the boards with one hand he uses the other to help me push the bike onto the back, just in time as the boards snap. "Thanks." I say looking up at jack.

"Yeah, get in, quick, we need to leave now." He says as he shuts the tailgate and gets in the driver side of the truck. I hurry and get in on the passenger side. I notice now that they're closer now, but they are all moving slow and have injuries of some kind, some too horrific to look at.

"Oh my..." I say as I close my eyes.

"You'll be alright" he says as he looks around the cab for the keys. I hear him open the glove box and starts to dig around. I open my eyes and reach above his head and pull the mirror down and the keys fall into his lap. "Thank you." He says as he gives me a smile that causes me to blush and bite my bottom lip. He starts the truck and pulls out of the driveway "Come on Holly, let's go, we're following you still." He says before giving me a quick wink causing my blush to deapen so I look out the window to try to hide it. While looking out the window I notice that there must be hundreds more of them coming after us, Holly takes off and Jack starts following her again. This time from the safe cab of the truck.

"I guess we picked a good time to leave.”

"Yeah, we did, don't want to get caught up in all those, they're slow but strong as hell"

"Ah."

"If one grabs you, it's hard to get out of its grip'

"I'll make sure to stay out of their reach..."

“Make sure you never get bit or scratched either, I think that makes you one of them"

"I’ll make sure to make sure I'm never alone..."
