We continued driving, until we eventually had to stop, considering Warren had run out of gas. Warren walked to our car, and smiled at me. "Ah looks like you've got a flat." Doc then proceeded to getting out to grab the tire jack to change the flat. Mack then comes around the front of our car, saying,
"Head's up! We've got company." I see the new girl, Cassandra, turn as the two men on bikes came driving past. What was going on? I got out and stood next to Warren.
"That's right....keep rollin'....we all live to see another day," she mumbled. They sped up after that and sped off. "Alright, let's do this quick," she said, referring to the tire change we needed. I just then remembered the sniper that had saved Doc's life. I wanted to thank him, so I proceeded to walking to the back of the truck. I gasped at who I saw. He looked at me, and his eyes widened.
"Ally?" he asked.
"Tom-" he tilted his head. "Sorry, 10k!" he jumped out from the back and got me into the biggest hug.
"I'm sorry, who is this?" Murphy asked. I looked at him and rolled my eyes. Doc and Warren stopped what they were doing, and Garnett came over to me.
"Care to introduce us, Ally?"
"Oh! Sorry. Everyone, this is my brother, 10k. According to Doc, he saved his life back at the High School. 10k, this is Doc, Addy, Warren, Mack, Garnett, and....Murphy."
"Why'd you say it like that?" Murphy asks.
"Because you're a sarcastic ass, that's why," Warren said. I nod and he just sighs.
"Sorry to interrupt the reunion, but we should probably continue changing this tire," Doc says. We all nod and I hug 10k again.
"Come on, let me introduce you formally to Addy and Mack." he nods and follows me to them.
"So you're the brother she's been talking about? I gotta say, you're a damn good shot," Addy says. He smiles.
"Thanks." 10k says.
"Ugh!" Doc and Warren say. We look and there were two half bodied zombies trapped under the tire.
"Well that explains the pull to the left," Doc says.
"What are you waiting for?! Kill it! KILL IT!" Murphy says, turning his back. Warren then picks up the bolt loosener and says,
"Alright, you. Time to go home." And mercy's the zombie. She then drops it.

We end up walking a few feet, and see a city on the horizon. "Even after all this," Warren says. "This is still beautiful."
"Take a good look, may not be back for a while," Garnett adds.
"So long New York," Addy says, holding up her camera.
"See you in the next life," Murphy says. I sigh and we continue walking until we find an old junkyard, hoping to find some gas. We begin a search, but we can't seem to find a damn thing.
"All these cars," Garnett starts.
"And not a drop of gas," Warren finishes.
"Just when you thought you saw the worst of it, huh?" Garnett whispers.
"They didn't stand a chance," Warren replies.
"Black Friday sale?" Murphy asks.
"You find any gas?" Garnett asks as Mack makes his way past Addy and I.
"No. It's seriously been picked clean." Addy was recording more on her camera, when Murphy comes over.
"What? Ya on vacation?" he asks.
"Somebody has to keep record," I say. "You know we're probably the last generation of humans on Earth?"
"To us, it's the apocolypse, to her, it's the memories." He then walks away, but I wasn't going to let that go so quickly. I follow him until he stops and turns, noticing that I was following. "Um, did I miss something?" he asks.
"No. What's your issue?"
"Nothing. I just LOVE living in this world."
"Would it hurt you NOT to be so sarcastic all the time?" he looks at me. "It effects how attractive you look." I then turn and walk away.
