Chapter 3: The Retreat
"O dam, we need to go, like now, like right now, MIZIEKI!, HELLO!"
"Shut up shut up, jesus let me think," I spat as the dead began to remember they were hungry.
"Think of something fast, we got like 8 seconds tops!," Ademis said in a panic, "Lets at least go back to my house, the zombie cops cant help us now and we will be safe there, shit theres a dead zombie cop right there!" He pointed to the left of the crowd, the only thing i noticed was the pistol on his side.
"Alright, lets run back down Main St. until we find a car. I think we are going to need one. Hopefully one of the parked cars has the keys in it," I said quickly as we turned around and started to pick up the pace, "Check for a decent car on the other streets as we run by." Ademis nodded and we took off running for our lives. Good thing zombies cant run!
Running was always a pleasure for Ademis and I. We both did track at the same time, which is also how we met. I did long distance and he did sprints. He also did cross country, so as we were running he managed to keep up with me, not to brag. Ha. He says he can run faster than me because he is mexican, i believe him. As i scan for cars that look fun enough to drive. Something thats fast or can run down some zombies is what id prefer. What would be the ideal car? I was thinking a mustang but god knows every zombie movie has one. But they are not in real life, well i guess they are but i dont see them that often. Ademis doesn't even care about the car i think. He is looking straight again running his little heart out, awww. Maybe i should speed up a little hahahaa!
About two streets before we reach his house, Ademis spots a Volkswagen Jetta to our left without even turning his head. It just so happen to be sitting in the middle of the street, with the drivers side door opened. Convenient right? I thought so too. But hell ill take it right now.
"I hope to god it has the keys still sitting in it, if not, you better hope its an older model." I said as we took the turn, it was about in the middle of the street.
"Why does it have to be a older model?" He said as we slowed down to a walk.
"I cant hot wire many newer cars man, it gets all electrical and stuff every new model."
"Wait wait wait, you know how to hot wire cars?" Ademis asked with a look of confusion.
"Hell yeah, what do you think i got sent to jail for in the first place?"
"What ever dude," He muttered, "Lets just hurry up, im tired and i want to go home."
"You better have some food at your house. The whole McDonalds idea kinda went to shit." I said as we approached the Jetta
Theres gotta be some kind of catch to this, i mean no one in their right mind would leave a 16 thousand dollar car in the middle of a street. Well, unless they had a zombie mind. I thought there is no way, we cannot be this lucky today. Although we both managed to see the dead walk that day, so i wouldnt be too surprised. We inched closer to the Jetta, its a beautiful red color by the way. Or maybe its just a large blood stain. Gotta think of every possibility here.
Looks pretty clear to me so i hop in the drivers seat. "Dammit man, no keys." I said and punched the horn. Then i about shit myself thinking "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT JACKASS!" Thank god it didnt make the noise. I punch like a girl apparently. I knew there had to be some kind of catch.
"Can you hot wire this one?" Ademis asked and continued, "It doesn't look so new to me."
"Yeah i think i can handle this one, and while im doing this search the car a little bit please."
I start to work on taking off the under steering wheel panel while Ademis checks the glove compartment, (i wanna know who puts gloves in there anyway), along with the arm rest.
"Not a dam thing, just some insurance papers for a girl name Sarah Winters, some pennies, and a pack of Juicy Fruit which now belongs to me along with the pennies..."
"I didnt really think you would find anything anyway, we spent all of our luck finding the car." I replied with a sigh.
"True true," Ademis said as he got out of the car and circled around the rear, "Pop the trunk for me real quick."
I popped it and kept working on the panel. I didnt have a screw driver so i had to punch the plastic till it broke which was not easy, be my guest to go out to your car and try it. My right hand still hurts as i write this. Just as i pull the panel off, Ademis scares the hell out of me when i looked up to inspect the damage to my hand.
"Look what i found in the trunk bro!" All of the sudden he pulls a metal baseball bat out from behind his back, "Cool huh?"
"I dont know how we could get any luckier right now man," I replied while gazing in amazement, "Stand guard while i do start on the wires batman!"
