Wake Me Up

Chapter 9

Luke's POV:

It was complete chaos. They all argued over what to do, who to tell and where to go. Eventually Luke just sighed and stepped away from the scene. He walked to the trunk of Michael's dark blue car, to count all the stuff they had bought, and calculate how long it would last.

"Hey," Reagan said as she walked up to him. "It looks like your the only other sane person here so I thought I would inform you that while your buddies were having a full out argument over there, I came up with a plan."

Luke gave her a slightly surprised look. He had never really had the chance to speak with Reagan prior to today so he was curious to hear what she had to say.

"What is this plan that you speak of?" Luke questioned.

"I have read every book on the zombie apocalypse that was ever written and Michael has played every zombie apocalypse video game. He had a genius idea on our one year anniversary that might actually be the smartest thing he has ever done. He bought a bomb shelter on the outskirts of the city in case of a zombie apocalypse. Back then it was more of a joke but as you can see, that is no longer the case. It is on some old man's farm and when Michael asked to buy his bomb shelter, he was more than happy to sell it."

Luke had begun to catch on, "I see where your going with this."

"Michael and I spent months fixing it up, so now it's actually quite comfortable. It's huge and has three sets of bunk beds, a spacious storage closet and an underground kitchen. For my birthday this year, Michael hired someone to hook up the power and add plumbing, so we would have a bathroom and a way to heat up food. It's basically like an underground house. I bet it would be perfect to use as a hideout. We can fill it full of everything we will need and then lock the doors."

"REAGAN YOUR A GENIUS!" Luke exclaimed. He was instantly filled with relief. He was so worried about what was going to happen that he had become very tense.

Luke and Reagan went over to the others to tell them the good news.

"I KNEW IT WOULD BE USEFUL! I love being right." Michael grinned from ear to ear.

"Everyone get out your phones and type in this address." Reagan held up her phone that had the address written across the screen.

All of them quickly copied it down so they could all remember.

"I think we should all get as much money as we can get our hands on, and bring it to the shelter. Isaac and I can get a bunch more stuff in my truck and bring it over." Cassandra suggested.

"Perfect," Regan said, "Michael, go with them and tell them some stuff that we don't have down there yet."

Michael agreed and walked back into the store with Cassandra and Isaac.

Luke was already making calculations in his head for how much food and water they would need to buy. He sent a quick text to Michael with the amounts.

"We should drive over to the motel and grab all of our stuff," Alaina suggested, "if you don't mind Reagan. Luke and I don't really have a place to live right now so we would really appreciate it if we could go live there before the whole world is in an apocalyptic state."

Reagan waited before speaking. She was probably making plans in her head. Then she said, "I think it might be best if everyone moved into the shelter. We don't want to be caught off guard."

"Sounds like a plan." Luke said.

Isaac's POV:

The group of three walked throught the doors of Walmart. Isaac, Cassandra and Michael all grabbed carts. They were all probably going to be full by the time they were done.
