1Max opened the door to the side yard and stuck his head outside. All was clear, he motioned for his Mother to follow him. Making their way down the steps of the deck, they went out the back gate and slowly sneaked to the large green van sitting in their back yard. A second later they were sitting in the van silently.
"Buckle up..." Max breathed out as he pulled the wav into reverse, then forward as they went through the driveway out onto the street. As they turned into the main street a group of zombies turned to them and rushed at the van. His Mother shrieked as he slammed his foot down on the pedal and they mowed the group down.
"Why were they so fast!" She gasped. Her breathing was quickened and he could see she was frantically looking around.
"Must have something to do with Rigor mortis." Max said to himself. He turned right onto the main street and towards the Police Station. The whole street was a complete wreck of cars and bodies. What Max noticed most was that most of the corpses had trauma or a gunshot wound to the head. Zombies continued to hit the front of the van as they pulled into the parking lot of the Station.
"I'm going in, you stay here and make sure the van stays on. I'll be back as soon as I can." Max firmly said. His Mother nodded her head but he could see the doubt in her eyes. He jumped out of the van and ran towards the back entrance, finding it unlocked he made his way in. He raised his protective bar and slowly walked through the hallways of the building.
Going through the fourth hallway he found what he was looking for. The gun vault was wide open, and there was plenty of guns and ammo left. Max sighed and wiped his brow, they were on the step to safety. He began to fill a duffel bag he brought with him with all the guns and ammo he could fit, all in all they now had three shotguns with one hundred shells each, five Browning .9mm with uncountable bullets, and a fancy six shooter with one hundred bullets. This was quite a find, he zipped the duffel bag and slung it over his shoulder. He held the loaded six shooter in his hands and began to move through the rest of the station.
The lowest floor was clear, but he could clearly hear something moving around on the upper floor. A set of stairs later he was moving through the second and final floor of the building. He knew something was up here now as he stood before the door marked "Confiscation Room". Max slowly turned the knob and raised his gun.
Three guns were in turn raised at him, he smiled as he recognized the faces before him. There was Luke, his best friend. Kyle, an equally as best friend. Tanya, one of his female friends. And three others were standing in the room behind the gun wielders. Kate, a girl he had seen around the school multiple times. James, a friend of Tanya, and finally Alicia, one of the popular girls, she looked more frightened than anyone else.
"It looks like we all had the same idea." Max said. The others nodded and dropped their guns.
"We came from the suburbs. It's completely crazy over there!" Tanya said, the gore on their clothes was enough for him to believe them.
"There's a van out back, we can all fit in it. I have most of the guns and ammo from the vault in this duffel bag." Max said, they all nodded and headed out before him. Right before he was about to leave he noticed something in the corner of the room. It was a sniper rifle, with a box filled with at least fifty bullets. He stuffed the bullets in his pocket and slung the rifle over his shoulder.
He was stopped by the others as they neared the stairs, moaning was coming from the first floor.
"They're in the building!" James gasped, he back up in fear. Alicia stifled a scream and hid behind Max. He raise his gun and slowly made his way down the steps.
"We have to get into the back parking lot, get your guns ready guys." Kyle said, they all got to the bottom at the same time. The door opened before them and five zombies stared at them, a gun raised and the head of the front most zombie was gone. Seven more shots and the zombies were dead. A crash and a horde of zombies were making their way inside.
"Run!" Max shouted. That was all the other needed before they began to run down the long hallways towards the back exit. The screams and moans of the zombies reminded them of their mortality as they ran down those hallways. Max reached the door first and opened it for the others, they all rushed through and Max closed it behind them. The group ran across the parking lot towards the van waiting for them, Max threw the doors open and rushed them all in.
The glass door shattered and the horde of zombies rushed out into the parking lot. The doors of the van slammed shut and Max quickly drove out of the parking lot, the zombies rushed quickly after them. He turned to go the opposite way down the main street, towards the High School.
"We're going to the High School, it should be safe there." Max said to the others.
"I pray to god you're right..." Alicia whispered.
