Chapter 09: The School Girl

It was night, the lights on the roads had turned on automatically. The electricity was still on and also the phone lines and internet. Some countries didn’t have it as bad as Tokyo was having it, although Jae-Sun wasn’t being able to contact Seoul. Fortunately, the roads they were taking were empty and quiet.

“Tangoes.” said Eiji, staring at the emitting light on the screen of his cell phone.

“What’re Tangoes?” asked Kyoko.

“The Americans have given the zombies a name. They’re calling them Tangoes.” Eiji replied.

“Why Tangoes?” asked Aimi.

“Guess we should ask the American president when we meet him then.” Said Eiji sarcastically to which Aimi pouted.

“Stop making all that noise will you? I am trying to sleep here!” Mitsu grunted struggling about in his very uncomfortable chair.

“Well… I really thought the Japanese Prime Minister was a kind soul. Always smiling and all on television. I have been wronged I guess.” Sugai said rather angrily.

“Hmm?” Mitsu grunted and got up. “I assure you, insult me again and I will make sure you don’t have peace the rest of your life.” He continued racing at Sugai.

“Easy there!” said Eiji gently pressing the palm of his hand onto Mitsu’s shoulder.

“Heh!” Sugai scoffed.

“Dad! Don’t push him so much. He’s the prime minister. We can’t live in peace if we cross him you know.” Humiya said, nervously.

“Huh?! What’re you talking about?! The world is over already why should we care about what he says? He’s nothing more than food for the Tangoes.” Sugai continued.

“What did you say?” Mitsu growled.

“Dad! Don’t say that!” Humiya said with a breaking voice.

“Hey, don’t cry! It will all be fine okay?” Jae-Sun tried to comfort her, sitting beside her with his arm around her shoulder.

“Oh boy! We got company, guys.” Said Takumi as the bus slowed down before stopping, along with Takeo’s Porsche.

“Turn off your lights.” Takeo said over the phone. Takumi has his cell phone in loud speaker mode in order for them to talk.
In front of them was a large road-slope which led down to the Tokyo High School. And within the outer walls of the school and in front of it, was a large horde of Tangoes just crawling all over the place.

“Why not just run them over?” Jae-Sun asked, leaning up from behind Takumi’s seat.

“We could run them over sure. But, then we’d just be going away.” Takeo answered over the phone.

“What do you mean by that?” Jae-Sun asked.

“Ah!” Eiji groaned as if he found out something.

“What is it?”

“There are survivors in the school, isn’t it?” Eiji asked.

“Bingo!” Takeo answered.

“Hold on there! We are not going in there!! I order you to find another way to the airport!” Mitsu grunted furiously.

“I don’t take orders from you, old man!” Takeo uttered.

“How dare you?! Do you even know who I-?!” Mitsu grunted and Takumi cut in saying, “Hold up there, old man! We go where I say we go. And I say, we go save whoever is stuck in there. So Takeo, what did you see?”
