Suckers For Pain

Moving Day

"everyone head to the truck" "heron and Mario in the back Chris ,Ruben ,jerry in the truck ill drive". "where are we gonna go" Chris asked. I had to be honest I really didn't know where we were going to go so I had to say the first thing that came to mind. "home". "HOME?" Chris said surprised. in my mind a lot of questions were going on in my head like what were we going to see and most important where were we going to stay. while we were going home I heard a couple of gun shots so I yelled to the back to confirm that the shots were my crews. heron yelled back saying they saw a couple of walkers so they decided to do a little target practice. a little ways more we saw a sign saying welcome to Laredo Texas. I yelled welcome home boys. they all cheered and i just drove to the nearest hardware store that I remembered. when we got to our destination, we got off and I didn't even have to explain to my crew why we were here. I headed straight for the wood section and gathered a whole ton of wood to make a new base with metal steal beams. we loaded the truck with the building stuffs we gathered when suddenly I heard a yell for help. I turned quickly to see Chris running from a walker. heron took out his rifle but I shoved it down. he said "what are you doing" I said "is there's one then there's probably more" he asked "then what do we do". I saw Chris trip and fall and I new time was running out for him. I knew heron had a combat axe at his side so I took it and threw toward the walkers head I was never good at throwing axes or knifes but I had to give it a shot. I started to aim when I heard a bark I turn to see a Rottweiler run and attack the zombie while the Rottweiler was attacking the zombie, this gave Chris enough time to get to his feet and was able to pull out his knife from his back pocket and kill the zombie from behind. we started running toward Chris and the dog and asked him if he was alright and if he wasn't bitten. he said he was fine thanks to the dog. the dog was standing right by his side so i asked "was he your dog Chris before all this happened"? "no I don't think so". I was shocked at how this happened so I kneeled down and petted him looks like he was a stray before cause he didn't have a collar or anything. "thanks for saving my friend buddy" I said. Chris asked if we could keep him as a guard dog and a pet. I was a little on the side of saying no because then we would have another mouth to feed but then again he did save my best friends life. I heard Ruben say no and that he was allergic. then Chris started arguing with Ruben so I just got in the middle and said Ruben were keeping him he saved Chris's life. Ruben just rolled his eyes and said whatever. after that incident I told everyone to get in the truck. luckily the dog didn't have any fleas or ticks which I was pretty shocked not to see any on him. I heard Chris ask if he could name him. I said sure but just try not to get to attached because you never know what will happened in this world now.
