Chapter 3 : The Escape
1:45 PM Saturday Afternoon
The gang had eaten all they could and were now relaxing in the back of the grocery store. Huey had been thinking about how they would get out this mess. Rob sat, telling everybody about how he ended up here and what he went through. "So I'm coming out of my this chick I was messing with house. Then a goddamn zombie tried to eat my face" Rob said. "I pulled out the cannon and blew that motherfucker away" Tye sat looking out a window. Jazmine stared at him, hypnotized. His perfect complexion. Great hair & sexy eyes. She just wanted to melt. But she also had feelings for none other than Huey Freeman. With her parents gone this was all she had left, this group of fourteen was now her family. She already missed the warm hugs of her parents & coming home from school. All this existed no more. What if they never got out of this? How could they? These questions ran a marathon through Jazmine's head.
She just wished things could be different. She was 17 and alone in this cold world. Jazmine felt a hand grab on to hers. She turned her head and it was Huey. "We're in this together Jazmine." Huey told her. "We'll get through" Jazmine gave Huey a heartwarming smile. Huey's heart started feeling weird. He has never felt this way towards a girl. These feelings are all new to him. Huey ignored them and focused on the groups antics. Jonathan had began telling stories of his own, too. Riley was laying awkwardly beneath a table dozing off. Ed & Rummy noticed and walked over to the table. Ed gave a mighty kick to the side of it and Riley jolted awake, hitting his head on the bottom. "FUCK" Riley shouted in pain. "Don't go to sleep around us little nigha!" Ed laughed. The group began laughing, but the laughter wouldn't last long. Suddenly a loud crash could be heard coming from the front of the store. "Great, this is exactly what I need" Huey groaned.
Ed , Rummy , Riley , Cindy , Jonathon , Caeser , Hiro , Tye , Rob , and Huey sprung up out of their seats. They all grabbed fully automatic weapons, Riley grabbing a Glock 18 pistol as well. "Jazmine , take the others to the car and get away down the highway , we'll meet up in 10 minutes" Huey said. Jazmine , Granddad , Thugnificent , and Mac sprinted out the back door and to the Escalade. Big numbers of zombies began piling into the store. The group bolted out the door and opened fire on the huge crowd. "Yeaa Yeaa" Cindy exclaimed enthusiastically. Jonathan moved side to side blowing zombies away with his shotgun. Huey ran into the crowd with his katana, slicing head after head off with Riley covering his back. Tye had stood up on a tall shelf and was knocking off zombie after zombie. The group pushed through the front, running to the Hummer and Dorothy. Zombies began trying to tip the cars over. Cindy rolled down the back windows of Dorothy and proceeded to fire clip after clip into the zombies. "Shit, there's too many of em" Cindy panicked. "Psst" Jonathan replied. "There's never enough for me" Jonathan loaded a AK with a hundred round drum. He rolled down his window and began shooting. He left out a hundred rounds, killing every zombie surrounding the two cars. Jonathan turned to Cindy and gave her a smirk that made her turn red as an apple. Riley looked on from the front seat, seething with jealousy.
Caeser rolled the window down in the Hummer. "Damn Jonathan, that's what the fuck I'm talking bout" Caeser cheered. "This nigga know what he doing" Huey ignited the car and they rolled up onto the highway. Jonathan leaned over on Cindy and began speaking to her. "So , where y'all from?" Riley noticed and popped in his Rick Ross CD and turned it up to the max. Huey shot Riley a smirk that made him turn and look out the window. Huey thought to himself. So maybe lil bro does have a thing for Cindy. I knew it. But our main objective is finding Jazmine. Jazmine had stopped at a gas station down the highway. The gas station was destroyed. The four got out of the car and walked over to the door. Thugnificent pulled out two pistols and gave one to Jazmine. The two entered to dark gas station. Immediately two zombies emerged from behind the counter. Thugnificent emptied a full 17 into one of them , killing it. But Jazmine remained frozen, gripped with fear. Thugnificent was out of bullets and was panicking . "JAZMINE" Thugnificent bellowed. But his yell had no effect. Jazmine kept the pistol pointed at the zombie but did not pull the trigger. She was a deer in headlights. The zombie became closer and closer. The hunger for human flesh present in its bloodshot eyes. Is this the end?
I made this a shorter chapter because things are getting ready to heat up in this story. Who will survive?
