As he felt our presence, he looked up. His rotten flesh was hanging from his face and all over his deceased body. Crimson, red blood oozed out of his bite mark on his shoulder. A right arm stump was dangling along with his corpse. Yet, the worst was its eyes. They were lifeless, lacking a soul. Its haunting image got imprinted into our mind immediately. As the shock began to wear off, reality hit home.
"Kristin, MOVE!" I screamed as I sprinted rabidly, startled. We didn't stop running until we got into the car and locked the doors. I lifted the keys into the ignition, but I couldn't even get them in, I was trembling fiercely. After four times of trying, Kristin took the keys from my hand and put them into place.
"Thanks..." I whispered, but I was soon interrupted.
Kristin yelled, "Drive, Amaris! Drive!" as her eyes widened and looked past me. Dr. Rudack was lurching towards us at full speed. I threw the car in reverse and slammed my foot on the pedal. The truck squealed backward and hit my "dead" partner square in the jaw.
At lightning speed, I put the car in drive and zoomed out of the parking ramp saying, "I can't believe that the zombie apocalypse has begun."
"Amaris, you have got to be kidding me. It has not 'begun'. There are no such things called zombies. It must of been a prank or something," Kristin dubiously remarked. As if she was not only trying to convince me, but also herself.

A ragtag gang of teens teams up with a neighboring girl gang when a major cartel moves into town, threatening their families, their turf, and the community they've worked so hard to protect.
*****
Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
