Hope is Dead

Chapter thirty five

Evan got shivers up his spine as Brian covered his back with the guts ''I'm sorry.'' he whispered and made sure Evan was covered, Luke held the gas can getting over the smell quite easily hopping it worked on the dead outside still, he looked back seeing Evan was trying to get over the fact he was covered in human insides. The blood staining the dark blue auto body suits, Brian walked over holding the weapons and Evan soon joined them ready to go out, Luke held his hand out and Brian took it, Evan then grabbed Brian's arm before Luke opened the door ''Nice and slow.'' he said not looking back knowing they herd him.

They moved toward the dead and it was now the real test of would it work and it did, they moved around the moaning, groaning monsters that flooded the street. Evan felt like tensing up, never feeling so much fear, his face was burning and he could feel the head coming up from his chest hitting his chin. They made it to the corner and turned seeing the van, Evan calmed down a bit seeing they were going to be fine but fear came back when a zombie hit him, he bit his lip hoping it wasn't smart, he didn't hear anything and they finally reached the car, Luke went on one side while Brain lead Evan around.

Luke grabbed the door opening it, Lui sat up a bit looking at the front door ''Luke?'' Marcel and Tyler looked over seeing it was him, he got inside and sat down as the other side opened up, Brian lead Evan inside before getting into the front with Luke, they shut the door's and froze, Lui and Brock moved away from Evan smelling a horrible sent ''You guy's didn't.'' Luke turned pulling the mask off looking at him ''It worked.'' he said and looked at Brian who also took the mask off ''Can we take these off now please?'' Luke smiled and nodded, Evan ripped the mask off and unzipped the auto body suit pulling it off shaking as he wiggled his hands out of the gloves.

Then breathed in before sighing out staring at the back of Brian's seat, Luke put his mask back on and Brian stopped him without touching him ''You're not going back out there are you?'' Marcel looked at him ''We need to fill the car up.'' he said and looked at them ''We can wait for them to pass.'' Brian simply said and looked back at the others ''Don't you want to get out of here?'' he asked and looked at Brock ''To get to your wife and daughter?'' he said then at Evan ''To see if Jonathan is ok?'' he asked then turned front again ''Just stay inside and stay quiet.'' he said and got out slowly shutting the door at the same speed then walked around the van to the opening for the gas.

''Who made him leader?'' Tyler asked feeling it ok to say, they all looked back at him ''Sure he knows some stuff about survival but we've always associated Evan as the leader or me.'' he added making a point, Craig sighed sitting up ''Does it matter who's in charge?'' he asked looking at him the other's stayed quiet ''We're a group, anything that happens of one of us it happens to all of us, no?'' he asked then looked at the others ''Anyone can say other wise if they feel they need to.'' he said and laid down again on Tyler's lap looking up.

It was silent, Luke had poured half figuring they needed all of it and wishes he grabbed an extra one, he pulled it out and moved close to the vehicle letting a patch of zombie's pass behind him, once they were gone he got to pouring it in again until it was all inside, he then shut the cap and shut it walking around getting inside again and sighed taking the stuff off putting it by Brian's feet ''We good?'' he asked getting a collection's of 'yes' he then started the car knowing it would attract them but he had an idea, he turned the car around as they ran towards them, he pushed threw them going backwards, Tyler looked around then over to him ''I think the highway is the other way.'' Luke looked in the rearview mirror back at him the at the road turning down a ally.

He kept going till he reached a different road on the other side and turned onto it following it out of the town and onto the highway going the way they were heading all along passing the train tracks but knew he would be turning right somewhere along the road. Craig shut his eye's being comfortable enough to do so and turned away from Tyler, Lui leaned back into his seat feeling sad when he did so but kept from releasing tears ''You guys can sleep if you want.'' Luke announced leaning on the window sill ''It's gonna be a long ride.'' Brian turned his head looking outside, Brock did the same looking to his left breathing in only to sigh it out slouching in his seat.
