"I Got five more People with me that will be here in about 5 seconds" I said "And a herd of Lurkers heading this way"
"So what?" One of the men asked
"Don't Shoot them and I will Co-operate with you guys" I Responded "My Guys, But Shoot the Lurkers if you need"
"Please Don't be a smartass" He said in response "I will Whoop your Ass" as soon as he said that Mattie and Everyone else ran around the corner and into me.
Michael Shut the door shut then held the unloaded gun at the Man
"Sorry" Michael Apologized throwing his gun on the floor.
"Guys Let these guys go" A Man said as he walked down the stairs. "I Trust them."
The men stood back and picked up all of our weapons.
"I'm Russel" He Said "You are?"
"Everet" In Response
"Well Everet, Help me block the door."
Russell had a fairly large group of about 10 people plus us making 16. All siting on the upper floor of the house waiting for the herd to pass,
"You ever saw this many?" Russell asked me "At one time?"
"No" Mattie Chimed in. Russell's group had two children and they were frightened. Because the Kids were scared it was causing the adults to start panicking as well.
"What if they lure them to us? What are we going to do then?" One of the women Argued.
"Leave them alone" Joelle yelled defending the children
"Shut up" Another man Whispered with aggression "You'll lure them here"
After three minutes the arguing had stopped and the Lurkers had passed. At least nothing bad happened.
It was a rough night sleeping on a hardwood floor. But it was sleep.
Mattie and I volunteered to go out scavenging. We armed up and headed towards the town with the biggest backpacks we had. The town was a half-hour walk from the house so we would be in some strife if something happened to either one of us. We approached the town and saw a few dawdling Lurkers. Mattie and I snuck around and into the nearby Restaurant; we rummaged through the cupboards and shelves hoping to find something of use.
"Hey Everet" Mattie called "You might wanna see this." I ran around the corner to where Mattie was standing.
"Jackpot!"
Mattie was standing in the freezer room. Where there was heaps of canned food and weaponry even the keys to the car out the front.
"Dude…" Said Mattie "Lets load the car up" We started carrying all we could from the Freezer room to the Car.
"I'll take the car back" Mattie whispered as he patted me on the back and stepped into the Car "Check the hardware store for some planks, Maybe could make a wall around the House"
He drove off. I went back into the freezer room and grabbed a handgun and some Ammunition. I crept through the street when one of the Lurkers noticed me. It slowly stumbled towards me, I fumbled around for my Hatchet. It was not where I remembered putting it, it wasn't on me at all. I had given it to Mattie in case the car was unreliable. With a loud puff I turned and made a break for the Hardware Store.
I threw the door open then Lent Against it making sure that it was shut properly. Mattie Finally came back with Wesley, One of the guys that held us up at the door. He saw the Lurkers and came In through the delivery door. We quickly searched through the Store and took everything useful. We found enough to make a wall around the whole town.
"Why don't me surround the town." Wesley Suggested "It's not that big, A few houses as well"
"Lets start clearing them out the Lurkers then"
