Episode 2 Part One
Tappan Zee Bridge
They drove for a little while before they came across Tappan Zee Bridge with Warren leading in the Military truck, Mack and Addy in the next car and Doc, Ellie and Cassandra following up the rear with the kid who's name they still didn't know standing up in the bed of the truck.
Sticking her head out the window Ellie could see that he had his rifle perched on the roof of the truck ready for any oncoming z's. Which wasn't necessary as Warren was ploughing into any and all zombies that crossed the path of the truck. Which also resulted in a very bumpy ride for the rest of them as they had to drive over the dead zombies on the ground.
"She enjoying herself way to much" Ellie piped up looking over to Doc in the drivers seat with a smile on her face but also a glint of annoyance in her eyes due to the uncomfortable ride.
"Think she deserves some enjoyment after what we've been through" Doc said back to her "She's just blowing off some steam, let her have her fun".
"Yeah" she replied a thoughtful look going across her face before they drove over another zombie particularly harshly resulting in a loud bang and them having to hold on fast in order for them not to be knocked out of their seats. Ellie also heard a bang above her and she assumed that the kid also had to quickly grab onto something to avoid being thrown off the vehicle. "Don't appreciate the bumpy ride though" she said holding the top of her head where she bumped it on the roof when she was thrown up and from the corner of her eye she could see Cassandra nodding her head with a look of pain on her face. Doc just grumbled, and looking back through the front window Ellie could see the truck and car in front bumping up and down along with theirs as they drove down the zombie infested bridge. As they got to the end of the bridge Warren suddenly pulled her truck over the others following suit.
"Out of gas" Warren shouted to them while getting out of the truck, Garnett following.
"Well that was fun" Addy said to Warren laughing, as she approached their car.
"Ha-ha, out of gas" she said again holding her hand up to give Addy a high five through the window as she walked past before going towards Docs car.
Seeing Warren coming towards them Doc and Ellie and Cassandra got out of the vehicle, while the kid stayed in the bed.
As Ellie walked around the truck towards Doc and Warren she could see smoke coming from the bonnet, the bumpy ride put strain on the vehicle and it looks like now they were out of gas she wanted to make sure their vehicle was in good shape.
"All right. So it looks like you got a flat" Warren informs them looking down at the tire, nudging it with her foot.
"The downside of driving over everything in your path instead of going around" Ellie said as Doc went to the bed of the truck to grab some tools and the spare tire. "But noo it's good to blow of some steam" Ellie said to Warren nudging her hip playfully with hers and Warren responded by punching her gently in the shoulder. Both of them were smiling but those smiles soon dropped when they heard motorbikes in the distance and they both saw Mack walking quickly to them his gun out with a serious look on his face.
"Heads up. We got company" he informed them and looking towards where Mack was looking Ellie could see two people on motorbikes coming down the road so she also took her gun out and looking back at the Warren, Garnett and Doc she could see that they also had their guns out. The kid had his gun at the ready too.
"Murphy get in the truck or get over here" Ellie shouted to Murphy when she saw he was just standing in the open away from them. And she heard him mumble something under his breath something like "who made her boss" before he quickly walked towards them and stood behind Warren and Garnett. Seeing movement in the corner of her eye, Ellie looked behind her to see Cassandra discretely trying to hide behind the truck a scared look going across her face.
