The Z End

Chapter 3

I lock up the brakes, them screeching as I reach Liz's place. I reach to my inner pocket grabbing the 1911, and step out and check my surroundings. Thankfully there seems to be nothing around, so I place the weapon back in its spot and head to the front door. *BOOM BOOM BOOM* "Liz, open up!!!" The door slowly creaks open as she looks to see who's at her door.

When she realizes it's me, she opens the door to let me in. "I'm really hoping you didn't open that door unarmed" I say as I step through the door way. She glares at me as she shuts the door, then pulls her hand from behind her back revealing the 45 in her left hand. "Ah, that's my girl" I say as I throw my arms around her and hold her close for a second. "What's going on? What has you like this?" she asks as I pull away.

I pull open the curtain covering the closest window and check outside. "This area is okay at the moment, but I got a rude awakening this morning." We sit on the couch and I explain everything I know so far. Right as I finish the final bit of the explanation, my phone starts ringing in my pocket. I look and see that it's Brad, and answer so quick my phone struggled. 

"ETA 7 minutes" I pause for a second "That's good, but can you make it 2?" "Affirmative" he says and then the call ends. I check out the window one more time before opening the door and stepping outside. I sit back in the drivers seat, start the car, and back the trunk up near the front door. "Hey Liz, help me unload some of this while we wait on Brad" I holler into the door way as I open the trunk.
