I woke up in midair in the back of the minivan. I turned my head to see Chris in the front seat, hands over his head. The first words in my head where, "aww crap," as we drove into the ditch. I blacked out a second time. When I woke up I heard moaning. I instantly froze. I turned and looked around, no zombies. Just my friends, alive but moaning and hurt.
"Guys?" I said, concerned. I stood up with no major injuries, but Cole's leg was being crushed under the roof of the car, so I put him at the top of my first aid list. I lifted the roof and looked at the wound, it wasn't horrible, just a broken leg, no blood. I found two pieces of metal that would work as a splint. Then I ripped my pant leg to tie the splint. Ok Cole was done now to my next victim. No one else looked horrible but I knew that we should check for concussions once they woke up.
"What just happened!" Gregory said bewildered. "Alicia! Where is Alicia!"
"Sure! Girl first then best friend that you've known since 1st grade later!" I complained.
"I'm right here Greg!" Alicia said with as much feeling as possible as they hugged furiously.
"Um guys, hug later and tell me what happened to my moms car now please" I groaned.
"Sorry Xander," Chris said sheepishly.
"You're fine Chris," I said. "It's just that the love birds over there hadn't explained anything."
"Julia! Where are you!" Regan yelled.
"See she has her priorities straight. Best friend first, guys later." I said to Greg, who was still hugging a now sobbing Alicia.
"I'm here Rae!" Julia shouted to Regan. As everyone woke up, we started checking each other for concussions. Amazingly, everyone was ok.
"Wow Chris you are a very lucky driver," Cole said, holding on to Jackie for support.
"Thank you thank you I'll be here all week." Chris smiled as he bowed.
"Well guys I hate to be a party pooper, but where are we? And what are we going to do?" Timmy asked.
"Well the maps said that at 80 mph we would have been in New York City in 5 hours." Anthony said.
"Wow Anthony, great job." Julia said, amazed.
"Well thanks,"Anthony replied.
"Ok so we should collect anything salvageable and get going. Try and find a map guys ok. I'll get all the packs and food with Chris, Regan and Julia should go get weapons, Greg and Alicia should salvage any metal for anything, Timmy and Anthony should look for maps, and Jackie, stay with Cole." I instructed. And with that, we started a journey to New York City, on foot.
