"right so what's the plan for today, there's abiut half a tank of fuel left since we haven't moved much, so we could probably make it to Aviemore. Its about 20 minutes away and we can go looking for supply's there, maby even set up camp or is there anything yous want to do?"

"well we're about 10 minutes from Inverness so could we go back?"  Georgia asked

"we could but chances of
us finding anything are slim. Look at our prisoner he seemed fine when we got him and he was infected. So anyone could be on infected."

We all sat in the van chatting, we had parked on the side of the motorway. Suddenly there was a loud rumble as we looked out the window we seen a military convoy so we were going to get out the van when Cherise told us that it was a search party and they were looking for her.

"what did you do?"

"when I heard that the apocalypse had started I ran away. With stolen gear." she explained.

"right take of your jacket, put on my spare overalls their over there and there's a spare balaclava there aswell, they seem to be looking at our van alot."

So as she went into the cage I stepped out the van in my full riot gear and with my weapons along with Georgia.

"can I help you chaps" I said sarcastically.

"no, this is a private matter" said a man in a jeep driving past.

The rest of the convoy drove past with out stopping.

"Cherise, it's all clear"

So as Cherise came out the van she took the balaclava off before the group started discussing,

"Right" I started off, "their heading north towards Inverness, so we should head South to aviemore, I have a friend with a cabin up on one of the hills there and we can get a disguise for Cherise"

"sound, I could do with a new look" Cherise proclaimed.

So we got in to the van and drove to aviemore we passed a few walkers on the way there nothing much, but as we approached aviemore we seen more and more walkers. Then when we got there we seen aviemore we quite over ran. So we gunned the moter through the middle of aviemore and out the other side back on to the motorway. When we got back on the motorway we pulled in to the side of the road.

"what's the plan now" concern filled Sams voice

"well I remember my brother owning a fishing cabin in the next town near a lake, I remember the way there I think so we could go there."

"sounds like a good plan" Georgia started "but do we have enough fuel?" she questioned.

Just then Cherise butted in "there's a fuel station just south of here it's a 5 minute drive from the next town"

Brilliant we'll stop there amd get as much fuel as possible and empty the store there"

After half an hour of driving we got to the next town and pulled into the fuel station, after we emptied all the pumps, Sam found a zombie that had caught hereg. the pumps seemed untouched, we got back in our van I got in the drivers seat and showed them the way there.  Cherise was in the front with me copying the rout onto a map of the area she found at the fuel station. I kept looking back at Sam, she seemed rather nervous and shakey and just kept looking out the window

"ladies and gents if you look out the left you will see some natural......stuff and in the right you can see a massive ass lake, or as the Scottish people say a " loch" pronounced "lock" just don't forget the Flem on the "ck" sound at the end and straight ahead is our new home."

As we got closer I could see people inside the house, "Georgia yiu and Sam stay in the van, Cherise get your rifle. Georgia could you grab me my sheild and head gear please"

I parked the van, put on my flame proof balaclava and helmet, put the visor down and stepped out with the sheild and my MP5, Cherise was behind me with her hand on my shoulder and rifle pointed to wards the door.
As we got closer we seen the front door open so I Knelt down amd Cherise aimed her rifle.

A man who looked familiar stepped out the door.

"RUAIRIDH?!?!" I shouted at the man who looked at me and came running towards me
"SHAUN!!" 
As we ran towards each other  I dropped my sheild, took off my helmet and balaclava and pulled him into a tight hug.

"I thought you were dead, I never heard from you mum dad or maisie"

"We heard abiut the riots then the zombies...we git in my jeep got what we could and came here"

"are mum dad and maisie here?"

"mum and dad are maisie is still in the navy" he said.

"wait you said maisie was in the navy, what vessel is she on?" Cherise interrupted.

"eh she's on a sub called the titan or something"

"have you heard anything from her or the titan?"

"no"

At this point Cherise grabbed her head in her hands and started to pace about in a circle

"Cherise is everything okay?" I questioned as I started to pick up my stuff from the dirt track.

"No, kelsey my wife was on that sub I haven't spoke to her since before the apocalypse."

"I'm sure she's fine, she is in good hands we'll find them okay. You need to stay strong"

"But what if she's not what if something happened, what if one of the crew were infected, what if they crashed, what if....." Cherise started to tear up, at this point Sam and Georgia came out the van and my mum dad and a person I've never seen before stepped out the house.

I pulled Cherise into a hug amd Sam and Georgia joined in eventually my mum dad and the other man came down the trail

"hello Georgia, it's been a while" the man said this and Georgia just froze on the spot.
