Mercy For The Living Dead (Z Nation)

Resurrection Z Part One

Season One Episode 6 part one

Hannibal, Missouri

After travelling for a few more miles the group decided to take a pit stop, parking by a sign saying 'Kansas city 87 miles'. Addy, Ellie and 10k were sitting in the bed of the truck and Warren had her one foot perched on the truck and leaning on her other leg while Doc, Garnett and Cassandra were standing next to them and they were all currently watching Murphy who had his back to them in a field doing his business.

"No z's in sight" Mack suddenly said coming down the side of the truck after scoping out the area, he then proceeded to climb into the bed of the truck from the side and then sat down on the edge.

"Anybody else worried about Mr. Sunshine out there" Doc asked them all

"I know he's looking worse" Garnett said leaning against the truck his arms crossed against his chest

"Yeah, he was pretty creepy to start with" Warren agreed

"It's not his fault he looks a bit creepy" Ellie said defending him "That vaccine is probably doing some weird stuff to his body"

"Come on guys give him a break" Addy spoke up agreeing with Ellie "It's the apocalypse, none of us look our best. It's like one long bad hair day"

"Speaking of hair what's with all the bald patches" Mack piped in

"Maybe that vaccine is like zombie chemo" Cassandra suggested

"Or maybe that vaccine isn't working" 10k said just as Murphy started turning his head to look at them like he could sense he was being watched making some of them look away or pretend they were doing something so Murphy looked away and finished his business.

"What do you think Doc?" Garnett asked him

"I've seen Z's look better than him"

"Will he make it to California?"

"If we haul ass"

"If he goes zombie, we might have to put him down'

"Dibs on piking him" Warren joked making them all smile

"If he turns piking him is the least of our problems" Garnett said looking back toward Murphy who had now finished his business and was looking at them.

"What" He said irritated when he saw them all staring

"Pit stops over. Lets get moving" Garnett shouted over to Murphy

"I have a ginormous bladder" Murphy grumbled as he walked back to them "Sue me".

"Man, I sure could use some of them Kansas City barbecue ribs about now"

Doc said climbing into the truck with Murphy climbing into the other side

"How about you darlin'. You're a big rib eater, aren't you?" Murphy said teasing Cassandra who was behind him

"You know I was almost starting to feel sorry for you" Cassandra snarled climbing in after them

"Ignore him Cassandra" Ellie said turning to glare at Murphy from her place in the front seat "He's just cranky because he hasn't eaten" And Murphy just pulled a face at her which she returned before turning to look out the front window.

"You look pretty happy for someone who hasn't eaten in two days" Warren said to Garnett smiling

"Could be worse"

"Really?"

"We're still alive, aren't we?" he said making Warren chuckle

"You were always a glass half full kind guy, It's what I love about you" Warren said making Garnett smile
