Paradise Is Overrated!

     The van came to a quick and sudden stop sending everyone forward.

“What the fuck!?” Billie said sitting up just after bumping his head on the back of Tres seat.

“Everyone out!” JR said quickly turning to the door.

“Why?” Tre said opening the door.

“Just do it!” JR slid the door back and everyone got out and stepped to the guard rail looking at Victor lying on the inside.

“JR What the fuck is going on?” Billie said rubbing his head stepping to her. Bethan grabbed at his other arm. Everyone looked at JR.

“He has no pulse.” She said staring. Everyone turned back to Victor.

“So let’s shoot the bastard and go!” Billie said. He started toward the van for a gun.

“Not while he’s in the van!” She said pulling him back.

“Why not?”

“Billie do you wanna ride for hours and hours in a van filled with guts and brains, and let alone virus tainted blood?”

“No… Damn so what do we do? Can’t we drag him out?” Billie asked.

“No… He has no pulse, so he can turn any minute. If we pull him out he’ll have a better chance at biting us.” Jesse said stepping to them. “did anyone grab their gun?” He looked around. Destinee held up hers.

“I got mine!”

“Good. Destinee when he comes out we need for you to shoot him in the head.” She nodded.

“I’m on it!”

“Now let’s move down a few yards so when he comes out we can shoot him when he’s away from the van.” Jesse said. Everyone nodded except Billie.

“Wait, why so far? Why can’t we just stand back behind the van and shoot him as he comes around.

“Because, He’s an ex-marine! That means he’s mostly muscle. Even though Victor may be weak now, zombie Victor will be like a super zombie, and he’s going to come at us with full speed!” Jesse said. Billie gulped a bit but kept a mean glare on Jesse.

“Come on babe, lets get the hell away from here.” Tre said pulling Jay by the side. She nodded and they walked along the guard rail behind the van.

“Billie, Come on baby. Let’s go before he wakes up and gets us both.” Bethan said pulling at Billie’s arm. He took in a deep breath and started walking.

“Come on babe.” JR said grabbing Jesse’s hand. They hurried with the others. They all turned and stared at the van. Destinee was out front with her gun aimed. Mike stepped beside her.

“Do you want me to do it?” Mike asked.

“No I can do it.” Destinee said keeping her pose.

“Are you sure?” She turned her head to him.

“Do you think that I can’t?”

“No I just, I didn’t know if you wanted all the pressure on you.” He said.

“No I got it,” she said looking back adjusting her aim.

“Ok, now remember wait till he’s away from the opening of the van.” Mike reminded.

“I know babe, don’t worry, I can handle it. Just get back.”

“Ok. I love you.”

“I love you too.” She said still keeping aim. He kissed her cheek and she made kissing sounds and he stepped back watching the van.
