World of Decay: Escape Artists (Book 1)

chapter 4

"Did you find them?" Asked James looking at the bodies in the gym.
"No sir. They all left. We searched every inch of the building." Nick said putting his hands behind his back.
James swore. "We have to find them!  Im going to kill Daniel and Jack!" Screaming he forcefully kicked a body.

James was more than mad. He was completely furious. All those kids left in one day. All he wants is his army back.

"Get your bags. We take the cars in the parking lot bright and early. We are going to Nitro."
Thomas nodded. He is his right hand man. Second best in football. The rest are Henry, Brendan, Nick, Edward, and Ron.
Bright and early they took what was left behind, shoved it in two trunks, and left. James took the leading car, driving a mustang. Next a pries, Voltswagon, and a Ford truck.

The boys looted the keys off the teachers and what students who drove. Took gas from one car and filled the other. It didn't take long. Then off they went.
The group was was stalled in tge middle of the road. A building sat in flames. Cars twisted from being to close. Walkers roam the streets blindly going into abandoned houses and stores to sleep for the day. Some stayed out pacing back and forth.
A big one had noticed them. Fat, pieces of flesh showing, snot bubbling out his nose. It looks like he tried to fit into baby cloths because skin was showing rashes as red as blood. He began to wobble out on his meaty fat legs. Sniffed the air.
James looked terrified for a moment. He shook it off and floored it. As he did the fat man charged with his arms out to take the blow. They collided. The entire front of the truck smashed. Steam rose from the hood.
There came a bellowing roar from the fat man. They started to come out of their hiding places. They began to swarm in from all angles.
"James get out and into the Pries!" Nick yelled out as Brandon ran to the totaled car.
Soon everyone got out and was fighting the army back. Brandon pulled James out and dragged him to the closest car. Shoving James in the back someone yanked Brandon back and he was disappeared into the crowd.

"Fall back, get in the cars!" Nick cried trying to run away. A runner grabbed him by the feet sending him to the ground. The man tore into the back of his neck.
The others retreated to the cars before fattso and the others really got them. Locking the doors the mob started shaking the car. Smearing snot and blood all over the windows.
James lays in the back floor board unconscious. Ron stumbled to try and find the keys to the Pries. He found them in the ignition.
Henry and Edward sat in the Voltswagon. Edward started the car to pull out.
Ron was stalled by the fat man climbing onto the hood.The car began to creek. All the weight from the man pressed onto the hood it made the tires pop.
A figure appeared up ahead in the road. Edward only saw one because of all the bodies crowding around. The next thing gave him relief. It was an atmy of figures. They were running right to them.
