Thanks for your reviews everyone! I appreciate all of them. I'll describe the characters now.

Okay, on with the story.
Nick tossed his coat on and looked out the window, there were 3 zombies surrounding their apartment. Zach turned all the lights out. Nikki tossed everyone their guns. "Guys, are we ready to get into the car?" Nikki said putting her hair up into a messy bun.
Nick nodded, "Yeah, there are some zombies out there, if you see one, either shoot them in the head, or kick them. Kicking them slows them down a bit. Trust me, I watched the news."
Zach cocked his gun, "We're running to the car?"
Nikki put her gun in her belt, "The car is right in front. We can make it."
Nick unlocked the door, "Ready? Set… let's go!"
They ran down the stairs to the front door. Nick looked out the window, "Okay, there are three out there, they're no where near the car. We can make it." Nick opened up the door wide and they ran to the car. Nick fumbled with his keys, and unlocked the doors. Nikki jumped in the back, Zach hopped in the passenger seat and Nick ran into the driver seat. He locked all the doors.
"Nick! Drive! They're gaining!" Nikki screamed. And Nick started the car, it made a loud rumble. It made the zombies look in their direction. He slammed on the gas, "okay, where's the base?"
Zach called his father, "Dad! We made it to the car. We're driving. Where do we go!"
On the other line, he could here grunts. "Dad? You there?"
He answered, "Oh hey there boy! Sorry, I'm very tired. What do you want?"
"Dad, we need to know how to get to the base." Zach said, tears starting to fall down his face, "Dad, I'm scared."
"Son, I'll tell you. Take the first left on AVENUE. You'll see a large building, with guards with guns. That's it."
"Thanks dad." And Zach hung up.
"So, where are we going?" Nick asked.
"Take this left!" Zach screamed. While he was talking to his father, Nick was driving.
"Okay." Nick responded.
Nikki screamed. Zach turned around to see a zombie pushing its face against the window. "Nikki! Duck!" Zach pulled out his gun, aimed at the head and fired. Missed. He shot again… got the arm. He shot one more time, and finally got the zombie's head. It fell to the concrete of the road.
Nick saw the building with guards. "We're here. It looks like most of the people made it."
Zach looked from side to side… there were no zombies. "Let's go!"
Nick unlocked the doors. They jumped out, closed the car doors, and ran to the guards.
Nick screamed at them, "hey, we haven't been harmed by these things! Can we get in! Our family is in there."
The guards nodded, they opened the doors and pushed them all inside. The doors quickly shut behind them. Nikki looked around, there were people coughing, people sleeping, people playing card games… "it's safe in here you guys."
Zach nodded, "I see dad!" he waved frantically, "hey dad! Over here!" he started running. Nikki and Nick followed.
Everyone attacked each other with hugs. It seemed that this was going to be a safe place.
Suddenly, there were bangs against the doors, along with screams of agony. The other guards near the windows stared at he crowds of zombies limping towards the base.
Abigail, Nick's and Zach's little sister, whimpered, "they're not coming in are there?"
Nick hugged her, "No… we're safe."
Or are they? Who knows what could happen to them. Will the zombies get in? Will the families have to find a new safe place to hide?
To be continued…
