Summoned

convoy

(I'm telling ya, sleepiness, It's contagious...)

I glanced behind me as I kept driving, all three girls, fast asleep. It was not that late to be honest, must have been what, a little after noon?

( I guess they were all really tired deep down. And now that we are 'safe', considering our situation. It rushed up to them...)

"But now, I have nobody to speak too..." I groan silently as I rest my head on the seat's headrest...

(The 'peeping duo' has also given up glancing our way, and are now staring at some poor girl in the truck. Guess I ain't smexy enough for them...)

"Still want to sssstabby stab them though." I 'hiss' in a low tone before silently chuckling, so I wouldn't wake up our 'sleeping beauties'.

(Still, I wonder how we will pass the bridge that connects to the next landmass that leads to the airport. Based on the map, the man-made island that the airport is located on is at the leftmost landmass. The same one that had our school, and my apartment. Huh, talk about going full circle.)

Also, by having the two giant ass trucks in front of me now, I have yet to see a single 'walking' corpse so far...

(Still, if Rika is at the airport, I wonder if I can meet her. Jokes aside, I owe her for the guns and car. Huh, good thing the girls didn't ask how I knew that Shizuka's 'friend' was at the airport. As when she spoke with her in the estate right before the blast, I was with the Humvee, not the group...)

We were also already riverside, with the river to our left. As the mansion itself was already relatively close to the landmass's end. I could also see the targeted bridge in the distance. It's just that, we had to take a couple of side trips to avoid a couple of no-go roads. Other than that, smooth sailing. To the point that I was honestly starting to doze off myself...

At least, until I noticed the truck in front of me opening its hazards lights. It then slowly slowed down, coming to a full stop after a couple of seconds, with me stopping the Humvee behind it. The driver then opened the door, and after a quick glance outside, he jumped down the truck and ran towards my car. I, in the meantime, open the door slightly.

"The Major General wants to use some of your dynamites to clear an infected horde up ahead." The second lieutenant glances at the sleeping girls as he stops by my door.

"Give me a second..." I close the door and get off my seat, then go to the back seats, sort of ending up on top of a sleeping Saeko. I then grab two sticks of dynamite while being careful to not actually step on the sleeping girl. Then, I back off and head back to my seat. The soldier still staring at the sleeping girls.

"You're staring at the wrong 'dynamites'." I say as I open the door and extend my arm towards the soldier, dynamites in hand. The guy turns to look at the two sticks, and frowns.

"We are going to need more than two." He responds.

"You can deal with a horde by using just one." I also responded.

"And if we find another horde, we will have to stop and come to your car again. If you want to come with us, then you have to follow the orders given to you." The soldier answers back.

"First. You will have to stop either case if you find another horde, or you risk blowing yourself up if you make a crap throw from inside the truck. Second, we are coming 'with' you, not 'under' you. I am willing to help you get there, but I'm not going to give you everything I have just because you want me to. If we have a problem with that, we can head to the airport by ourselves. If you want me to follow your orders like a good 'civilian'. Then first, get rid of the corpses that are putting us 'civilians' in danger, without my help." I wiggle the dynamites at him as I speak. The soldier scowls slightly and takes the dynamites.
