Hey guys. I know this is crazy, two updates in one day. I have another one coming. Just thought I'd make up for ages without anything. Please review!
We drive for awhile longer before we stop at a shopping centre. I motion to Beth and Dianna to grab a shopping trolley.
"I'll get water if you guys get food." Beth says. Dianna and I both nod our heads in agreement. Beth grins and makes her way to the back of the store to search for bottled water. Di and I set off on a search for non-perishable food like canned soup, biscuits and dry noodles. After about 2 hours Beth has two karts of bottled water and Dianna and I have two each worth of food. We push the trolleys out to the car and chuck it all in before we set off again
We pull into an abandoned ship yard in Fremantle. Yet again there is no sign of life. We cautiously slip out of the car and the girls nod at me to take the lead, I'm guessing it's because I have the gun. I take a few hesitant steps away from the car and I look behind me to see Beth taking up the rear. Good. We make our way towards a boat that looks sturdy enough. It was big, the type with sails if you need them but has an engine. Once we reach the boat I jump up lightly on board. I pick the lock on the door of the boat and let myself in, thank-full for my older cousins and their constant pranking. Sure enough there is a set of keys sitting in the ignition. I turn and grin at Beth.
"It's got keys" I say with a smile. She fist pumps the air.
"Bet your happy I learnt how to drive and sail a boat now aren't you?" She says.
"Shut up, you know you only did that because of the zombie plan!" I reply
"True true. At least I did though; we'd be in deep shit if I hadn't,"
I grin at her before turning to Dianna. "We had best start unloading the car." I jump down and turn to help Dianna off the boat. We make our way over to an unloading area and find a big kart. We stack the water onto it before making a few more rounds for the food, Beth jumps off the boat just as we reach it with the last round of food.
"So I checked out the boat and we have a full tank which should last us until we reach Indonesia and after that we can use the sails 'till we get to South Africa. I'm thinking we should go up and around rather than cut straight across cause the seas could get way too rough for this boat out there. If we take shift when driving the boat had a little GPS navigator thing so I could point us in a general direction and you guys can just keep the boat on track. I also found a big water purifier and a solar power generator so we have electricity and we don't have to worry about water." Beth says, sounding excited.
"So we have about 5 months worth of food for the three of us if we ration it and slowly cut down to two meals per day, plenty of water and a shit load of coffee." I say. Beth and Di nod and we start loading all the stuff onto the boat. Once we finish its about 2 o'clock. I jump down below deck and check out what's down there. It's a pretty snazzy boat I'll tell you that much. It's got a big bathroom at the back, three double beds, a kitchen and a kitchen table. Albeit it's all rather squished together but really it's quite a lot of space. I climb back up on the main deck before climbing to the top deck, this is where the captain sits and behind that is a couple of couches with a television and DVD player. 'Ha I thought, they'll laugh at me now for bringing my Disney collection.' I think with a grin on my face.
I wander around for about half an hour before we decide to get a move on. Beth starts up the engine after making sure the generator and water purifier was turned on and we pull out of the harbour. We make our way through the boats without one sign of life. We all sigh once we hit open waters and Beth sets the boat on its course and locks the wheel in. We all collapse on the couches and sit in silence, all of us consumed by our own thoughts, no doubt the others are wondering about what happened to their families. I know mine are gone. They were there when I fell asleep and gone when I woke up, I know they're dead, they wouldn't leave me without a reason. After about half an hour Beth gets up to check the boats course before sitting down again.
"Who wants to watch Mulan?" I ask.
