When time stops

Chapter sixteen

Jordyn awaited instructions as they came close to the small city ''Now.'' Monte said and went down to join the other's waiting to hop off, Jordyn pulled the lever and they waited for it to stop completely before hopping off, they went down the hill on along a small path but Monte stopped ''It's the Hunt and Camping building.'' he called to the other's as they all headed down, they pushed through a gated fence and started walking over to it ''Look's closed.'' Carson muttered as they approached the building, they got there and Monte could see that it was shut with bar like thing's over the door and window ''Backway?" John suggested, they went around to the back and saw a small vent, they looked at everyone then stopped at Carson ''Your the only one that can fit.'' Carson sighed and took his backpack off and got onto a garbage can and pulled himself inside the vent and started climbing threw.

Monte leaned on the wall sighing ''What?'' Ashton asked taking his sweater off ''It's so god damn hot out here.'' John smiled and looked up to the vent not hearing anything ''Think he'll com out alive?'' he asked looking at them ''Door's were locked so that mean's there were no people inside when this whole thing started.'' Nathan stated and looked to them ''Has a point, but anyone could've crawled into there and died.'' Jean commented making them look at him ''What?'' they smiled and shook their heads.

Carson landed inside the store and looked around seeing the cameras were still working, he didn't think much of it, as long as the alarm didn't start going off he was fine, he went behind the front desk and grabbed a couple guns that were back there smiling but saw there were only a variety of pistols along with two shotguns, he looked around walking over to get a duffle bag and brought it back putting a couple guns inside with some ammo and that's when he herd it, he turned around and looked over to a door hearing banging, he took one of the pistols out and checked the mag having to reload it, he cocked it back and went around the counter leaving the bag behind, he walked over to a locked door and grabbed the handle, he quickly opened it and aimed the gun.

There a man slowly lifted his head, Carson saw the emptiness of his eye's, his skin was grey and there was a big wart on his neck, Carson was to busy staring at this man that by the time he shot the guy was close to him, Carson backed up shooting still hitting his chest and neck, he finally hit the head making him fall over and Carson kept shooting even though he ran out of bullet. He finally stopped and lowered the gun, he went back to the bag reloading the gun and grabbed some clothes off the table's and went to the vending machine kicking the class making it shatter, he grabbed a couple bags of chip's and put those in the bag as well.

He then went back to the vent and started climbing through, he got to the other side where they were looking at him ''What happened?'' Jean asked as he exited the vent ''Zombie.'' he stated not showing them his fear, he gave the bag to Monte before grabbing his backpack that Nathan picked up ''Let's go.'' he said and started walking back to the fence, the other's followed him. They climbed up the hill and got onto the train again, Ashton got on just as the train started moving ''Guess she was watching.'' John guessed and brought the bag into a room off to the side while Monte headed to the control room ''So, are we gonna live on this train forever?'' Carson asked, John shrugged just as they herd a gunshot, they all looked over to the control room as Monte came running back, he was being followed though.

John grabbed a pistol out of the bag while Carson pulled his pistol up aiming at them, they grabbed Ashton who was standing closest to them, John stepped out having the gun loaded and cocked it back aiming at them ''They have guns.'' one of the guy's said holding a knife to Ash's neck ''What was that shot?'' Nathan asked while Monte aimed his gun ''Jordyn.'' he simply said and Nathan understood what that meant, then the rest of them came down rushing them, John shot hitting one in the shoulder but then already tackled him to the ground, Carson stepped back while Monte shot at another guy running at them, he shot him in the head but the one behind him pushed past and knocked the gun from Monte's hand, Nathan grabbed it seeing the guy was going to stab Monte, he aimed the gun and shot before anything happened.
