Earth the beginning of the fall

Chapter 18

The tires squealed has the SUV took the corner faster than normal, for just a few moments its right tires lifted from the ground, before the shifting weight inside sent it crashing back down jarring its passengers.

"Jesus Christ! we need to escape not die Kurt" Jane said gripping the Oh Shit Handle for dear life "Kurt their gaining on us!" Henry shouts, "Yeah I can see that" Kurt said while glancing in his mirrors to see how far away were the spiders from them. Leaning closer to Kurt Mathew spoke "we need to get off the Main Street and shake em off through a couple of the side ones, then we can it Main Street again and take it North outa here."

      "That's no good, exiting town by going north is like jumping out the frying pan into the fire, there are far worse things that way than these spiders chasing us" Kurt said.

      "You haven't seen what these spiders are capable of I doubt anything could do more than..."

       "No there is, if what Kurt's talking about is what we've seen then you haven't seen anything yet" Henry said. This got Mathew, Sally and Jane's attention along with Kurt who glances in the mirror at Henry. Kurt asked "you've seen something other than the spiders?"

"Yeah, large size beast that can stop a dodge ram 1500 with two Chevy Silverados." Choosing that moment to speak after Henry Calvin said "bone back, no wait..mmm Razorback, yeah that's it! Razorbacks!" He finished excitedly garnering the steers of everyone, he suddenly felt embarrassed for making such an outburst.

"Seriously, I can't believe your here thinking up names" Kelly said "uhh, well why not they need names" he said "they aren't a new pet you just bought at the pet store Calvin" shooting her a glare he retort "calling them beast, creature, monster or them, isn't going to cut it we need to start identifying them in groups so we know which ones which, the spiders are just that but what about the others while two were the same one was bigger and different."

"What you mean by different cal?" Kurt asked while swing around a sinkhole forming in the road, "well it had horns on its head instead of tentacles like the other two, and the others seemed to take directions from it." Calvin answered "directions, are you saying it was leading them?"

      "Definitely, dad you should have seen this thing, I think it was their alpha."

       Kurt and Jane looked at each other both asking the same questions with their eyes, Jane answered first "no" then Kurt shook his head and replied with a "no" also. It was obvious to them that they were both too busy running for their lives, to have noticed anything like that back at the park."

     The bright floodlights was the first thing he saw in the surrounding darkness, a group of cars were used as a barrier to block the entrance of the building. "Isn't that the police station, how do you guys still have light with all these power lines being knocked down?" Sally asked.

       "Backup generator" Jane said then asked "Kurt why are you heading for the station"

        "Well we need weapons obviously, we won't be able to escape otherwise especially now since the one's from the park are here, looks like we won't be able to get in through the front so we'll go around back as soon as we stop everyone get out and run for the door, stay in a straight line Mathew you bring up the rare, Jane your in the middle, I'll lead, oh and one more thing don't leave the perimeter of the light and only shoot when they step into it."

     "Wait, what?" Jane asked "didn't you noticed it back at the park, all or bullets had no effect until you shot that one running in the car lights, anyway we'll talk more about that later, we are here people you know what to do, now let's go before those spiders come asking what's for dinner."
