Chapter 48- Giant bug zapper

All the people that were on guard started watching for more infected.

" We're clear!" A woman yelled.

" What the hell are you doing here anyway? I thought I would find you in Jackson."

" Been trying to bring the plant back to life."

" We had it working before," Maria said. " But one of the turbines went south."

" We had electric, Joel...." Dad started. " Well get it started again." 

" You guys have electric fences?" I asked.

" Yeah. They help keep the infected a bay."

" Your giant bug zapper might be busy for a while."

" No way," Ellie said, as she stopped. " You guys have horses."

" We got a whole lot of em'." Dad said as Ellie and I started petting it.

" Hey, Tommy!" One of his men yelled. " Come and give me a hand with this!"

" Sorry," Dad said. " I'll be right back."

" Have you two ever rode one?"

" I have." Ellie said as she continued to pet the horse.

" When have you rode a horse?" Uncle Joel asked her.

" A soldier gave me a few lessons back in the zone."

" You know if you want, we can take him riding later?" Maria said.

" Really? That'd be awesome."
