Claire began to wake up as she felt herself bounce on the back seat of the truck. She didn't move or open her eyes as she tried to register what was going on. Hit by a sudden nauseas feeling along with a splitting headache she recognised the hangover from the days before the apocalypse along with a rush of memories of the night before. It was at this point when she heard the voice of the woman who had taken over her thoughts.

"She still sleeping?" The voice said and Claire could have sworn she heard the smile on her face.

"Yeah," Someone replied quickly.

"Could sleep through the end of the world after a drink she could. Lets see if this one does it," The first voice replied.

Claire was half way through opening her eyes, the light blinding her as her head pounded, when she felt herself being thrown forward off the seat on to the small space between the front and back seats. She let out a small groan her eyes once again shut as she tried to untwist her arm which was trapped under her in a rather uncomfortable position.

"Well that did it," The second voice almost laughed.

"You alright Claire?" The first voice asked a slight hint of concern in her voice.

"Fine no thanks to you," She replied in a huff.

"Don't belike that we tried to wake you civilly first, plus we're here you didn't want to miss the bikes did you?"

This reply caught Claire's attention as she began to push herself up off the floor back onto the seat shrugging off the hand offered to help. Once she was up in sitting position, her hand automatically raised to her temples, she glanced out the window she could see less than a mile away there destination looking completely deserted though she doubted things were as they seemed like everything else nowadays it had to be more complicated. Bringing her thoughts back into the car she realised for the first time she had an audience. K-mart and Alice were sitting twisted round in there seats just staring at her.

"What?" Claire snapped.

"Nothing," They replied simultaneously.

"Then what are we waiting on lets go," Claire said commandingly.

Turning back round as she nodded Alice started the hummer towards the desolate town. While they drove Claire used the few minutes they had to pull a couple of guns out of the back checking they were fully loaded and ready for use if needed. It didn't take long before they were pulling up beside the bike shop and Claire couldn't help smile as she saw a brand new shiny black Harley sitting just in the broken window.

"Now that's a bike," Claire said as she jumped out the truck closely followed by Alice and K-mart who were more cautious on there approach.

"Am just going to have a look around watch your back K," Alice said as they stepped through the window after Claire. Her only reply was a nod as K-mart headed towards Claire.

Alice didn't spend long looking around after spotting a BMW Motorrad K1200R she figured she may as well stop looking. It wasn't the same colour as her former bike as this one was in black but at least she knew it was comfortable to ride compared to some others she had tried. After finding the bike all she needed was fuel which she didn't even have to look for as Claire had already rounded up the cans and was just about to start pouring a can into the Harley.

"Don't waste the fuel am taking this one," Alice said taking one of the fuel cans and heading to start filling the BMW.

"You take what you want but this one is mine," Claire replied dropping the empty can "Hey K give me a hand we'll put the rest of the fuel in the back of the truck there's a fair few cans here."

"Got it," K-mart replied obediently grabbing a can in each hand as Claire done the same.

Once all the fuel was in the truck Alice and Claire rolled the bikes out the shop ready to get going. Alice turning to K-mart held out the keys with a smile on her face she knew how much the teen liked to drive but was surprised by the lack of reaction from the girl. As she raised her hand slowly and was even more surprised when instead of taking the keys she just pointed behind them.

"We have a problem," She gulped as both Alice and Claire turned to see the silent advancing horde of undead.

"Shit this is just what was missing," Claire said before turning into leader mode "Right K-mart take the hummer go back the way we came we'll catch up Alice I need you to be ready to pick me up looks like you win I won't be taking the bike after all and don't miss."

Alice looked slightly confused but before she could say anything Claire had started her bike and was headed towards the zombies while the hummer drove off in the other direction. With one swift movement she was on her bike and following Claire still trying to figure the younger woman out as they came closer to the mass before them. It wasn't till she saw Claire turn sharply so the bike fell to the ground sliding towards the undead that Alice clicked to the plan. She slowed her advance turning so she was facing away from Claire. Coming to halt she turned to see Claire already on her feet running towards her so drawing her gun she watched as the bike disappeared into the crowd. Pulling the trigger she didn't wait to see if it met it's target as she began to pull off she felt Claire jump on behind her as she wheel spun before shooting down the road where the yellow hummer had disappeared from. Hearing the explosion as her bullet met it's target Alice let a small smile cross her face and though she denied it to herself it wasn't the fact she had got her target but in fact it was Claire who brought the smile to her face. As the explosion had sounded Claire had wrapped her arms around Alice tighter than was necessary just to hold on.

As they were on the bike it didn't take them long to catch up with K-mart who also seemed to be going slower than she normally would. On seeing them approach however she did speed up they were soon driving side by side back into the camp.

Ok short as hell I know and I have no excuses good enough for my absence so I totally get if you've given up on this but if anyone is still reading please review. I have a busy week ahead of me so am not promising anything but am aiming for the next update to be up this week.
