Chapter 2- Escape
"Okay, so I'm going to go through the back door and through the houses over there." Montie said as he was pointing out where he was going.
"Yeah, it's not as bad as the front of the store. So, yeah, I'll get down from this ladder over that fence and through the houses on the other side. Then we go through the River Road with a car hopefully, and find stuff in the houses on the hill." Montie explained his plan to the air around him now.
"Okay, what will I look for?"
"Duh, everything that will keep me alive; Guns, food, supplies, that sort of thing."
"At least I know how to do this, because I would have just stayed up here until somebody came to help us." He said.
"Yeah, that wouldn't do me much good in this kind of situation. I mean it would, but, I need to get out of town, if not the state." Montie opened the ladder cover and started to go down to street level.
He hopped the fence, and started to go through the various little houses and structures plumped together. Montie had used half a clip on the zombies that came after him. Then, after one mile of walking he finally got out of the little village of death, and got to the road.
"Finally! We made it! Alright, let's go find a car that's drivable." Montie said, then ran over to one of the parked cars on the side of the road and checked to see if it was locked. He looked through the window to see that all of the doors were locked.
"Well great, how am I supposed to drive, when we can't even get in?
Well I can always do this.." Montie went over to the gravel, found a fist-sized rock, and threw it into the side window.
"That'll do the trick" He unlocked the doors by the electric door opener on the driver's side door, and climbed in.
He was getting in the car as he heard zombie voices moaning at him from where he was at a couple minutes ago. Montie looked up to see how many there were. As he looked around to the zombies, he saw that someone was being chased by them. They saw Montie and started shouting for him to help, but they were already running to him.
Montie pulled out his sidearm, and took aim at the lead zombie. The person saw him and dived to the ground. Montie fired three rounds at the crowd and took out three of the zombies. Two of them were hit in the chest, and the other had it's head pierced with a big hole in it's forehead. The person got up and ran to the car, but the zombies were right behind them. Montie fired the remaining bullets into the mob, and got inside the car. The person had gotten the car started and was telling him to get in. He did so without hesitation, shut the door and yelled;
"Put that pedal to the metal!" And the person responded in an instant. The car flew backwards into the middle of the brain-eaters, and floored it down the road.
"That was close." Montie said as he settled into the passenger seat.
"Yeah, it was. I'm Kelly, and this is my car." Kelly said as she was zooming past the occasional zombie pedestrian. She looked like she was at least 17 years old, with blue-streaked brunnette hair. Her bangs swept to the side and partly covered her left eye. She was wearing a black tank top under a blue and red sweatshirt hoody, complete with black skinny jeans and neon-colored sneakers. She was quite the sight.
"I'm Montie, and this is my gun." Montie said as he was reloading his Beretta in a flashy manner.
"Very nice, I've got some in the trunk, but I only got pistols."
"What do you got? Any Desert Eagles?" Montie was interested in what she had.
"Ha! No, I've got 3 Socoms, and 2 M9's-"Montie interupted her:
"I can handle those."
"You can? I mean I'm not saying you can't, but...you seem kinda small for guns." Kelly said in honesty.
"You're a girl, and I don't think you can shoot those." Montie came back.
"Are you kidding? I have been living with them since this whole thing started." Kelly said as she hit Montie's arm. "And just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I can't shoot a gun."
"Yeah, I guess so." Montie said.
They sat there in silence for a couple moments before Kelly started up a conversation.
"So, do you have a plan for getting out of here?" Montie thought about his original plan for doing so, but then thought he really didn't have one.
"No, I don't, but I was thinking of getting out of here." He saw a body floating down the river that they were next to.
"Well yeah, we can't just stay here until somebody saves us, 'cuz they ain't going to be alive." Kelly said.
"Yup, we can't do that. So we have to get out of here soon. But, we do need a place to think of all of this." Montie suggested.
"By the way, do you want to join me in getting out of here?" Montie asked.
"Yeah, it's better than being alone out here." Kelly said as they drove by a couple of zombies on the side of the road, eating a dead corpse of a human.
"Cool, so where are we going?" Montie asked.
"I guess to the store that's next to the school, and use it as a planning base." Kelly sugested.
"Then we will do that." Montie said as he put his gun away and fell asleep.
