So...Where are we headed?" Jake asked. "Well first somewhere to get gas,then somewhere to get lil miss next to you some real clothing,then,I'm getting you weapons..then...we'll you'll see what happens then..." "Ok..." Jake said a bit worried. Marco stopped at an abandoned apartment complex. "We'll have to stay here,night is coming soon" Marco said. He got out and walked into a random house. Jake and Monica looked at each other. "...What?" Jake asked. "Do you think he's ok to stay with?" Monica asked. "He's our best chance at the time". A loud gunshot rang. "GET INSIDE!" Marco yelled. Jake and Monica ran inside,Marco slammed the door behind them. "That thing down there scared the pants off me.."Marco said pointing to a dead body with it's head blown off. "You're gonna have to leave" He said. "Why?" Monica asked. "Those things have enhanced hearing they can hear us speaking from outside,at least the rabid ones can...those undead are just dumb and rely on sound and sound only.." Marco took out a shotgun and kicked the back door down,and fired 3 shots into an increasing crowd of what can only be described as the zombies. "Take the truck,I didn't actually own it!" Marco yelled. Jake and Monica ran to the truck. Monica got in. A zombie reached out for Jake. He kicked it back. Then ran to the driver's seat of the truck. He tried to start it. It wouldn't move. "Come on come on.." He tried again..nothing.. The zombies were getting closer. "Please work please work!" He started the car. It sped forward and ran over the horde without trouble. The team drove till they arrived at the highway,there were so many cars. Jake and Monica got out. Ahead were zombies, A man was being eaten alive on the ground a good 10 feet ahead. A jogger woman was being held up by three zombies,tugging at her arms and legs,fighting over who got what. Till her limbs gave way and she was torn apart. "This...is chaos" Monica said. "We are so gonna die.." Jake said. He looked at the ground. A few bullets were down there,perhaps someone or something had been there. Monica went backwards down the highway in search for supplies. She looked into a car window. There was a zombie stuck in the back seat trying to get out. She felt a hand grab her..."Don't move...a muscle"
Jake picked up the bullets and put them in his left pocket. He looked at the bridge ahead. Cars on it too... A man was being torn open by 2 zombies. Another man jumped off the bridge. "Hey buddy!" A voice yelled from the behind Jake. He turned around. He could see about 12 feet away a man was standing. Holding Monica's arms behind her back. He had a hood on and a gun in his right hand. "What do you want?" "What can you give?" "We have really nothing at the time,I can bring you something!" "That's not going to happen..." "Well then I can't give you anything" "Ohhh...Sucks.." He put the gun to Monica's head. Then in a flash. The car door next to them flew open. A zombie lunged out at the man,tearing into his shoulder. "Ah!" He yelled. He fell down,dropping the gun. He struggled to keep the zombie off of him,then it bit his arm,and then chomped down onto his neck,thrashing it around,tearing his neck out. "Help!" More zombies became alerted. And moved closer. Monica grabbed the gun off the ground and ran. "Get running!" She yelled. Jake turned around and ran. Then remembered Monica. "Every time!" He turned around and grabbed Monica's hand and began to run a little slower than usual...Jack tried to move as fast as possible but every time they sped up Monica had to stop. "Ok,go ahead to the stop sign and get off this highway. I'll hold them off,head to...the shelter at the beach,take these" He gave Monica the three bullets,hoping they were not used. "Go" Monica moved. Jake looked back the group. A decent horde sized bundle was coming. He could spot about 10 to 14 of them running. He looked for something to use. He spotted a pipe lying on the ground. He picked it up,and heard a growl. He looked up and took a scratch to the face. "What the-" The zombie jumped at him. He dodged quickly. It grabbed a piece of glass from the ground. "How the heck does he know how to use that?" Jake thought to himself. It ran at him. He shoved it back with the pipe,then brought the pipe down onto the zombies head. It took the strike without a flinch. "Well now he's mad.." It ran towards him and swung with both it's fist and the glass. Jake dodged and blocked until he got the chance. He kicked backwards and hit it recklessly in the head with the pipe. It's head bust open. It's body ran around like a chicken for 2 seconds then dropped. Jake looked ahead. He saw something white jumping from car to car. "Don't wanna fight that" He turned around and ran. He ran until he was out of breath. But he could still hear the shuffling of the undead...
