When time stops

Chapter ten

Evin looked around the dimly store wondering over to a shelf seeing small animal skull's changing into bigger ones ''Zombie's, those were zombie's right?'' he asked Evin nodded before turning to him ''Do you run this store?'' the guy stared at him seeing he was fascinated by the store ''Yes, those are zombies?'' he asked walking over, Evin looked at him ''Yes, flesh eating zombies.'' the guy smiled running into the back of his store, Evin walked over to the desk looking down and his eye's widened seeing a neckless having different bone's on it, he looked over hearing him in the back before he came out with a backpack on his back and looked to Evin who was a bit confused ''I've been waiting for this day my whole life.'' he said and walked over seeing Evin eyeing the said neckless, Evin walked back to the window and moved the curtain a bit seeing it was a horde moving threw this town.

The guy soon joined his side and looked at him ''What's your name?'' he asked, Evin looked at him ''Evin.'' he stated and turned to him ''Carson.'' the guy mentioned shaking Evin's hand, the two looked around outside and Evin sighed moving away from the window ''I shouldn't have left them.'' he mumbled and crossed his arm's over his chest. Carson looked out the window and saw some running, other's were walking, there were a few he could see with warts growing on their arm's and neck's. Carson then turned around and looked over to him ''Where did this all start?'' Evin turned looking at him ''Calgary.'' Carson nodded and looked outside ''Any safe zone's around here?'' he asked, Evin shrugged ''There was one but, I'm guessing it's either very strict or over run.'' Carson shut the curtain and looked at him.

''Did you come here with others?'' Evin nodded ''Yeah, their in the town somewhere, there's two more people back at a house.'' Carson nodded ''Can I join your group? I mean for a while, and if whoever's in charge doesn't shoo me away?'' Evin was shocked that someone was asking this, he hesitated before nodded ''Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't mind.'' Carson smiled ''So there is a leader?'' he asked, Evin thought for a bit before nodding ''Yeah, he's name's John.'' Carson nodded ''Do you know where your group was heading to?'' he asked, Evin nodded ''The police station, they were going to tell the police about the zombie's, but, look's like they might be to late.'' Carson scoffed a bit and turned to the door ''I know a way there that might be clear, it's threw the back, we'd be crossing over the train tracks and be very close to the station.'' Evin smiled ''Let's go then.'' Carson smiled and lead Evin threw the back to the back door.

He opened it slowly and looked around seeing it was all clear, they herd scream's in the distance from the road as they stepped out, Evin got his knife out while Carson pulled a machete out of his bag taking the covering off and put it in his pocket holding the machete, they walked threw the building's, hearing the sound of siren's on the streets not far from them, they kept walking a bit in the ally until Carson stopped looking over to the street ''There.'' he said pointing, Evin looked seeing they were right across from the police station, they saw officer's leaving in their cars and other's fighting it out in front of the building ''We need to get inside.'' Carson nodded ''Yeah, figuring that bit out, between the zombie's and officer's it might be a fight.'' he said moving towards the edge of the building and looked around.

Evin smiled ''They look pre occupied, we could just sneak by.'' he said and looked to Carson who nodded ''Are you quiet?'' he asked, Evin nodded ''When I want to be stealthy I can be.'' he said opening both side's of his knife and stepped out into the street, Carson was fast to follow him, they went across the road and down into the ditch where the train tracks were, Evin then had an idea ''Do you know where these tracks lead?'' Carson looked up and down them as they crossed over ''No, there's a station a way's away from here.'' he informed as they came up to the road again, they saw an officer get pushed to the ground and the zombie's ripped into him like a bag of chips.

They moved threw the police car's that were still parked and got to the front door's, Carson turned around and stood up swinging his machete into the head of a running zombie, Evin quickly opened the door getting them both inside and they moved back looking at the door smiling, then looked to each other, they turned and Evin smiled seeing his friends ''How'd you get in here?'' Evin asked while Jean walked over hugging him then looked at them.
