Day 3
The sun awoke Louis first, and he saw island not far off. The dead bodies of their fallen comrades laid bloated in the swamp around them. Louis looked away from them, and directed the boat to the island. The island was small, nothing on it, just sand, then water. But they would be able to see their surroundings. Louis landed the boat on the island.
"Wakey, wakey." Louis said hopping off the boat.
The fellow survivors woke up with disgruntled facial expressions and took in the sight of the beach.
Zoey was the first off the island, to go see Louis. She put her hand on his shoulder.
"I think we can hold out till rescue." She said smiling and took her gaze to the sun rising.
Louis stayed silent and aimed his gun out to the sea, his sniper rifle was their only way to see the shore of the infested city. Louis felt Zoey's touch disappear. He turned to see her sit and close her eyes in the middle of the island.
"Were gonna need shelter." Bill said lighting his last cigarette.
"No Fuck!" Zoey said opening her eyes and standing up.
"Well we need gas for the boat." Francis said entering the conversation, still on the boat.
"Well I'll stay here, and try to get some what started on a camp." Zoey said clambering up onto the boat searching for things she could use on the island.
"Bill can use you lighter?" Zoey asked putting her hand out to the shore from the boat,
Bill grunted and handed it over. Zooey placed it in her back pocket and finished grabbing the stuff off the boat. She placed everything in a small pile on the island, and watched the guys start to take off. Louis told them to wait.
"Here take this" Louis said handing Zoey his sniper rifle.
She smiled and waved them off. She turned back to her pile. A large blanket, a kerosene lamp, a large pole, few pieces of wood and one of the radios. She grabbed the metallic pole a dug it into the middle of the island. She then laid the blanket out then ripped it in half. She pulled the black sharpie from her front pocket and drew the universal safe house symbol on one piece, then then tied it to the pole. She the dug a hole that took about an hour and laid the other in their. Zoey took off her pink jacket and placed it at the top of the pole.
"Well, well" Zoey said in pride.
She took the sniper rifle and looked out to shore. Incompetent zombies wandered the street dragging their heels through the dead people, who were unlucky. Zooey saw something. Someone, more then one, two people. A little girl and her mum. Zooey had to do something. She knew they wouldn't last long seeing they had no protection, except for what looked like a pipe bomb. Zoey shot the sidewalk in front of them. They stopped and looked her direction. Zooey lit the kerosene lamp and waved it back and forth. They saw the safe house symbol waving in the air.
