“We are going to have to stop at a gas station in about an hour.” Veil says and I look back to everyone and they are staring at me then to my stomach.

“Veil stop the car.” Drake orders staring at me frustrated. Veil does what he is told and Drake hops out and one zombie comes near him and he easily stabs him in the heart and head at the same time. His door is open and I freak out just wanting the door closed and to continue driving.

“What the hell!” Veil and all the other guys get out of the car leaving their doors open hoping out shooting and stabbing all the zombies that are coming nearer and nearer. Oh god. I quickly slam the back door and climb to the front closing the front doors. Quickly all the zombies disappear and the guys come back in with black goo sprayed all over them and sweat pouring off their bodies. They lock the doors and Drake looks at me ferociously.

“Are you trying to get killed? Don’t think I didn’t see you hold your stomach, you are pregnant aren’t you?” Now all the guys are staring at me in shock and disbelief.

“How am I trying to get killed if I am the one in the car? I got car sick for a moment. That was why I was holding my stomach.”

“If you have such a weak stomach why would you come in the first place? You cant play me, I am not stupid, Veil drive to a hospital we are going to ‘check in’.” Drake has an evil smile on, Veil locks the doors and I viciously try my hardest to open the door but a little pinch in the back of my neck signals I have just been injected with something. My body and eyes slowly start becoming weak and tiresome. What are they doing to me?

“What…w-what…”I trail off to my somewhat happy place.

Cane POV

“Hey guys does this one look good?” I ask my crew, I am not good at this, I hope she likes it.

“Man stop stressing it can just sleep in your bed.”      

“No, I want Belle to have a nursery for him. So do you think that this would be sturdy enough?” I ask looking at the nice brown crib in Babies R’ Us.

“Yeah I would think so?” Nate shrugs obviously annoyed and bored. I place the boxes in the cart that is also loaded with a neutral bed spread that is just adorable and decorations. Nate’s cart is filled with both boy and girl clothing. Danny’s is filled with diapers, wipes, formula, and bottles. Ross has binkies in his hand held cart because God knows those things get lost so quickly.

“Man if you get one more thing we wont be able to take one of us back with us because there will be too much stuff.” Brandon retorts taking cover for us, the guys break the alarm system and we walk out of the store quickly and we load our cars with stuff. The parking lot is packed with cars, its like a grave yard.

“Lets go get some gas then we have one more stop okay?” I take the gas jugs out of the back once I have finished and I cautiously go to a car and stick a hose in the gas tank then into the jug. It slowly fills up a quarter of the way. I start hearing gun shots and I quickly jump on top of a car and see the biggest bunch of zombies I have ever seen slowly making their way out of the mall. “Lets get out of here! Now!” I search around me and my path is clear. All of my group members make it to the cars carefully and I slam on the gas. We speed out of the parking lot and onto the freeway once again headed in the direction of a clinic.

“God Cane you are a crazy bastard! Lets just hurry and get home.” Danny huffs and puffs from the adrenaline.

“Yeah I know I will only be a moment in this next stop. I only need a few people to cover not everyone.” I check my review mirror and see all the cars in a line doing just fine.

“Cane? Is Belle with you?” My walkie goes off and I bring it to my face.

“Nope I left her there. Why?” The boss is gruff and very intimidating causing me to panic for a moment.

“There was another raid car that went out, only four guys left instead of the recommended six. And Belle isn’t here.” I drop my walkie press halfway on the emergency break and the gas swinging the entire car around zooming back to the camp. All of the guys feel my tension I can tell because every single one of them has a tensed face on staring out of the window. How can this be? Why would she leave? I grab my walkie again and bark into it.

“Who left?” I grip the stearing wheel with one hand causing my knuckles to whiten.

“Drake, Veil, James, Carl, and possibly Belle.” Oh Damn it! Those suns of bitches are freaking rapists, I don’t know why our boss didn’t get better guys but they probably abducted her.

“Where are they going?”

“Their tracker shut off ten minutes ago. Their direction was headed to Reno.” That is where she used to live. I get off here at the thirty two doing the same thing I did earlier to turn around because of this sharp turn and zoom through. I look at the beeping gas gauge and see its almost empty and I hardly got any gas. I pull into the crowded gas station and already see zombies walking around sluggishly traped from the camped out cars. I stop the car and don’t wait for back up and make my way to the gas pumps shooting all the zombies that make their way towards me and hear extra shootings and know I am covered. Every second wasted every second towards her death. I swipe my bunkered card that faults out this pump to give me all the gas I need for free. No money needed. I fill up three that the guys put there for me and we walk back to the cars with our guns resting on our shoulders. We fill the cars, such a simple task. We go back in the direction that our boss told us. Towards my Belle.
