Matt looked as he saw the people with torches running through the field and he jumped from the truck, catching Gabby as she also jumped down.
''Are those actual people?'' Gabby spoke softly and Matt nodded. These were too fast for walkers. Maybe they could try to survive together. They both had enough suplies.
Suddenly a shot rang out again and Matt looked at the bulled hole in the door. Gabriela jumped in and Matt closed the door behind them, looking the truck from the inside. The people were getting closer.
''What is happening?'' Severide woke up and Shay looked up as well.
''Did you pour the gas in yet?'' Matt tried to start the truck but it refused.
''No, I wanted to do that tomorrow, in daylight.'' Severide looked out of the window. The torches were getting closer. Matt opened the door suddenly, grabbing one of the jerrycans and he ran around the truck, pouring the gas in as shots kept ranging out on the other side of the truck.
''Matt!'' Gabriela yelled terrified.
Severide opened the window in the door of the cabin and started to shoot back.
''Stop, you are wasing bullets.'' Shay stopped him and as the group of people started to climb over the and Matt climbed inside the truck.
''Come on.'' He tried to start it as a large man walked in front of the truck, raising his gun and ponting it at Matt while the truck came to life with a roaring sound.
''Drive. Just drive.'' Gabriela whispered but Matt raised his hands and he got out of the truck. ''Stay hidden.'' He mumbled as he climbed out to Severide and Shay and Gabriela got out as well as the another man also pointed his gun at her and Matt nodded as she also got out on his side and they walked up to the two man.
''You took our gas?'''The man asked he started to search Matthew, grabbing his badge from his pocket.
''This is actually your truck. I figured you had stolen it.''
''We can pay for your gas.'' Gabriela said as the man pointed his gun at Matt again.
''What, you think the dollar is still worth something? You, firefighter! On your knees, you don't steal from us.''
Matt sat down on his knees. Gabriela could hear his breath going quickly as the gun was put on his head. A loud shot sounded through the air, followed by another one. Was he dead? Were he and Gabriela just shot on a dirt road to be eaten by the walked in the fence? A strange sensation spread to his body and he suddenly knew what to do.
Matt crawled up as the lifeless body of the men fell over him, ready to defend himself as there were more people from the farm stading around them. The walked int he fence started to growl harder and looking in the dim light of the truck they could see more walkers coming their way.
Gabriela jumped back in the truck and Matt climbed in as well after he grabbed the guns from the man from the ground as shots rang again. As fast as they could they got away.
''Wait.''
Matt suddenly turned the wheel as they came past the entranceway to the farm.
''The men were right, we have nothing on money, we need to take everything we can take!'' He yelled and parked in front of the shed and he and Severide jumped out, dragging as many jerry cans as they could take. His side hurt as he jumped out, probably jumped out too fast.
''They were shooting, we need to leave!''
''You know how far away they are.'' Severide spoke as he carried more cans inside and Matt wanted to grab the last two when he suddenly saw a girl looking at him.
''Why are you taking all our gas?'' She said, pressing the teddy tighter against her. A adult woman walked up to her.
''What are you doing, where are Steve and Joe!?''
Matt let the two gone.
''Sorry.'' He said as he let go of the cans.
''Where is my husband!'' The woman said, nearly crying.
''You have to go. Walkers are coming this way.''
''You are bleeding.'' The girl suddenly said, looking at his side and Matt looked aside, where blood was streaming into his white shirt. He pressed his hand in his side and thought about the pain, that he only aknowledged now and he fell onto his knees.
''Sorry. I am so sorry.'' He mumbled as the pain seemed to take over and saw the woman pulling a gun as well. She pointed the gun at him.
''Don't waste your bullets with shooting him. The bullet thathit him was from the men you were with. They are dead. You will be too, if you shoot him.'' Kelly spoke as he walked as he raised his hands, but Shay came out after him, ready to shoot the gun in her hands.
''We can give you some food, but you have to get out of here.'' Kelly laid a few of the cans of food they had on the ground, shoving them towards her with his foot while Matt was still groaning on the ground.
''Go!'' The woman finally cried as she grabbed the cans.
Two arms grabbed him from under his armpits and dragged him away.
''We can't do this to these people.'' Matt groaned as Kelly wanted to get him back in the truck.
''We need to survive, you need to survive!''
Severide sat down behind the wheel and Gabby and Shay bow over him as the truck started to drive again.
''There is an exit wound.'' Gabriela sighed relieved and she pressed a patch against the small, bleeding hole in his side and started to wrap it in bandages.
''Stay with me! Why didn't you say you were shot.'' She mumbled as he closed his eyes.
''I needed to get you safe.'' Matt whispered as tears formed in her eyes.
''We are safe...for now.'' Kelly said as they drove away, leaving the farm far behind.
