I was outraged. Mario promised me we would look for my mom. He lied. 'Even though we got attacked, we had it under control,' I thought. We could have handled the rest and still looked for my mom. The car came to sudden halt, crashing my train of thought. I leaned forward so my head was between the driver's and passengers seats. I could see a man with a hiking pack. He seemed to be running. I craned my neck and could make out two more figures. Zombies.
"Here," Anatoly said. "I picked this off of a body". He handed Mario a slim black cylinder.
"What is that?" I asked.
"It's a silencer, for the guns. We need these if we don't want to be heard". He jumped out of the car and walked about ten feet. Mario kneeled and closed one eye, using the other to look through the scope of his assault rifle. Slowly, he lowered the gun and screwed the silencer on, and raised the gun back up. Zip zip zip. Three silenced bullets flew out of the gun. In the distance, I could see the two bodies dropping. The man who was carrying the pack got up and raised his hands. He walked over to the jeep.
"Who are you?" Mario said. "What are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere?"
"My name is Sam" He said. "I was trying to get out of the city and well... Anyway, thank you guys for saving me." Mario motioned for Sam to get into the car. Sam put his pack in first, and then jumped in. Mario started the engine and we drove off in silence.
