Now They Walk

On the way

-Jake-

"Were out of food, and we know what that means" I said to everyone standing in the middle of the living room

"We have to get to Atlanta, they said it was a safe place and they also haven't came to get us, so we are going to them"

"How are we going to get their, the car can only fit eight people and their is twenty people here" Stacy said

"Well a bus can hold more than that" I said

"What are you thinking?" Nate asked

"That bus took a hit, but it isn't totaled, if we can get it working then we can use it to get to Atlanta"

"What if it doesn't work?" Damarion asked

"Then we will think of something else"

"That's the plan, deal with it" I said walking into the kitchen

Nate followed me quickly.

"What Nate?"

"Will it work" he asked

"It's not rocket science it's just a bus, hasn't even been sitting their that long"

"The others don't trust you" he said

"Not my problem, if they want to stay then I'll let them"

"I'm with you" he said

"What?"

"They may not be, but I'm trusting you"

"Aren't you just as crazy" I said

He just stood behind me, silently watching.

"The bus isn't too bad, it did take a hit though"

"Will it still run?"

"I hope"

I looked at the kitchen table, filled up with 3 shotguns, one high powered rifle and at least 9 pistols and also all the ammo required for each.

I think that went well..... other than the alarm.

I grabbed the 12 gauge and put in the shells.

"I'll use it when we go to the bus"

"Who is all going?"

"Don't know, don't really care"

"I'm hoping Atlanta is what we want"

-The bus-

The large yellow bus sat on the side of the road, still and silent.

Me and Nate slowly got out of the car and walked to the bus, walking from the back as we followed the skid marks.

Keep the gun up

We rounded the bus, slowly to make sure none of those things were their. But something that was their isn't their now.

The bus driver wasn't their. His body was gone but the pavement was stained from the pool of blood.

I walked along the side of the bus, moving straight to the front of the bus and pointing the shotgun forward.

Not as bad as I thought

"This can work" I said

"Good" Nate smiled

I opened the hood, crushing my thoughts instantly.

"One of the fucking batteries are gone" I hissed
