Chapter 6: Cars
Yusei and Bill hopped onto the roof just under it and looked at the sunset while the others followed slowly. "Look," Bill pointed in a direction that had a building with a sign on it, "there's the school."
"Alright," Yusei agreed.
"Ready?" Bill asked.
"Guess we'll find out," Yusei answered and they hopped down onto the ground. They walked by a dying fire with its kindle being burning Infected bodies.
"Oh man…" Crow stated.
"Come on. You don't need to look at that," Yusei stated and walked towards Bill.
"We've probably seen worse at this point," Jack retorted as they followed their friend.
Bill sighed. "Passed this gate, it's all new territory for me," he stated.
"That doesn't make me feel safe," Luna commented quietly.
"You guys will be fine. Just stay close," Yusei assured. They heard clicking sounds. "Keep quiet." They got low and silently walked toward the next area. Yusei focused and they walked him. He didn't make a move letting them know a Clicker was closing it. And it was true when a Clicker neared the opened in which they were all hiding behind.
Completely silently, Yusei grabbed the Clicker and killed it with one of his shivs. He dropped it to the ground and focused. He looked at Bill and placed one finger up before pointing towards the next area. Bill nodded in understanding while the others were a bit confused. He silently walked in followed by the others.
They hid behind a statue and watched to see one last Clicker in this section walking around aimlessly. Yusei grabbed his bow and an arrow and soundlessly aimed it at the Clicker's head. Without any notice, he released the arrow and it pierced right through the head, killing it.
They hurried to the next wall and Yusei focused again. He looked at Bill and did a similar gesture but put three fingers up first instead of one. They walked down the steps and Yusei silently killed the closest one. He watched as one went into the next area while the other stayed walking around the area they were in. Yusei did another gesture to Bill who nodded in understanding while the others were getting annoyed with how he was only doing gestures to Bill and only gestures that they couldn't understand. Yusei aimed another arrow and shot the final Clicker in the area they were in.
They slowly and quietly walked into the next area where three Clickers were walking around. Yusei killed the last of them with ease relieving them. They stood up and Bill said, "Nice to see you've gotten even better at killing Infected silently."
"Better than using the shotgun," Yusei responded bluntly. They walked to the gate which was locked. "Got the key?" Bill nodded and unlocked it.
They slowly walked out when a couple Infected Runners came at them. One grabbed Yusei who quickly grabbed shiv and killed it. Bill shot his gun at the final one and blew its head to smithereens. They walked out and down an alley to see another Infected. It quickly noticed them and ran at them angrily.
Bill quickly shot its head with his shotgun and killed it. They heard more Runners and a Clicker coming from another fenced area. Runner quickly appeared and the four men with guns killed them quickly. But they heard the Clicker hurrying up.
They silently walked around and through a garage. Yusei opened the door but it was tied from the other side. "Hey, why don't I go through there?" Luna suggested pointed to a dog door.
"Through the doggy door?" Bill questioned.
"Who else will fit through other than my brother?" Luna replied.
Yusei sighed seeing no other option. He pulled off the blockade while saying to her, "Be very careful."
"Right," she agreed and slid through without a problem.
"Maybe we should've given her a gun," Bill responded.
"Too late now," Yusei responded.
They turned as Luna opened the door and whispered, "There's more of those Clicker things inside the house."
"They haven't seen us yet," Yusei stated. "Be quiet and follow me."
They silently walked through the house without alerting any of the Clickers, relieving all of them. They exited to the next yard and Bill said nearly silent, "Alright, come on. On the RV and over. We should be clear."
They walked over and Leo asked Bill, "Got friends in here?"
"No," he answered at a normal voice, since they were too far from the Clickers for them to hear. "Although I got some idea of who mighta come through here." They walked through a tree house before dropping to the ground. Yusei was fine, the others winced a bit from the landing.
"You guys okay?" Yusei asked them.
"Yeah," they answered.
"That was just a hard landing," Akiza finished. Yusei nodded.
"School's on the other side of the house," Bill stated. "Let's get inside."
"Come on, guys," Yusei called and they followed Bill in.
"Hey, Yusei!" Bill called from the garage. Yusei hurried up to a one-sixth opened garage door. "Gimme a hand with this." Yusei nodded. The others came up behind them as they opened the door. They hurried through and hid behind a door to see Infected swarming the place. "What'd I tell ya? There's that truck. Sticking out of the school right there. Come on. But be quiet."
"This is going to suck," Leo muttered.
Yusei and Bill smirked at each other in amusement. They then walked through the area, trying to avoid Runners. Eventually, though, a Runner saw them and hurried to attack, growling loud. Of course, that caught the attention of several other Runners. Bill ignored any caution that said to be quiet and used his shotgun to blow the Infecteds' heads to mush. Yusei shrugged in response and quickly did the same.
They walked through the school buses and but were soon met by a horde of them. Jack and Crow began firing and after a few stressful minutes of fighting, the Infected were down.
"Well, that was easier than I thought it'd be," Bill stated. "They must be holed up somewhere else."
"Wait, that was easy?" Crow questioned.
"You haven't see hard," Yusei replied. He turned back to Bill. "Let's not test our luck, though. How do we get inside?"
"Someone dropped a ladder on the bus," Bill stated.
"Give me a boost, Bill," Yusei responded. "I'll drop it down."
"Right," he agreed. He helped Yusei up. "Don't get killed up there."
"Won't try to," Yusei responded and quickly slid the ladder down.
They all quickly climbed up and across the bus with Bill saying, "We just need to get to the hood of the truck." They hopped down when Runners came hurrying up and trying to climb the other fence. Bill tried to open the nearest door but they were locked from the inside.
Yusei hurried around and opened a window that led into the school. The others hurried in and Yusei went in after them, but a Clicker grabbed his leg.
"Yusei!" Akiza called worried. Yusei hit it back and hurried in. The Clicker tried to get into the room through the window but Bill shot its head sending blood everywhere and slammed the window closed.
"You alright, Yusei?" Bill asked.
"Fine," he answered. "But I don't think that glass will hold them." Infected tried to get in through the door. "Jack, help me with this." The two men pushed a cabinet in front of the door.
Bill hurried to the hood of the car when he stated, "It's empty."
"Where to now, Bill?" Yusei asked.
"Anywhere but here," he answered. They hurried through the door and Yusei shut and locked it behind them. "Let's um… We'll sneak out the back. Follow me."
They walked down the hall silently before Runners saw them and they were forced to fight yet again.
"I hate Runners," Jack stated.
It didn't take too long before the Infected were dead. They went through a science lab and turned to the next hall when three more Runners attacked. Jack, Bill, and Yusei each shot one down.
They went down the hall to a couple door. Yusei pushed against it to find something blocking it on the other side. "Bill, help me with this," he called. They came up side by side and pushed on it. It opened enough for each of them to fit through and saw it was a rack filled with large, thick mats for some sort of sport.
"Shit, more are coming," Bill stated. "Barricade the doors." Yusei immediately pushed the original barricade back into place and much farther near the wall.
"That's not going to hold them for long," Yusei stated bluntly. Suddenly, there was a large banging on the next door.
"That don't sound good," Bill stated.
"What is it?" Luna asked.
The door suddenly opened and a Bloater walked in. They all tensed, the five remember what they saw when they first arrived. It threw a ball of spores at them. "You guys take cover and stay there!" Yusei ordered and aimed his shotgun with Bill at the Bloater. The others didn't hesitate. A couple Clickers ran towards his friends but Jack and Crow immediately shot them dead. Each hit that was taken at the Bloater, spores exploded as a cloud around its body. He looked at the bleachers. "We gotta get up there!"
"We can't climb the bleachers with all the Infected around!" Bill responded.
They fired a bit more and it just didn't seem to want to die. "Alright, that's it," Yusei stated and threw a molotov which directly hit the Bloater and burned it to death.
"Nice work, Yusei," Bill stated.
"You as well," he responded.
"Let's get on top of these bleachers. Give me a boost, Yusei," Bill stated. Yusei nodded and helped Bill up. Yusei helped the others up one by one. "Oh shit. Yusei, behind you!" Yusei turned and saw three Runners coming after them. Yusei immediately shot them and killed them. "Alright, you got 'em. Let's go." He pulled Yusei up and onto the Bleachers.
They hurried off the roof and into a small, shallow creek. They quickly found a ladder leading to one side of a fence. They quickly climbed up and over it. Once the last person was over, Bill used a broom and pushed the ladder down. They then hurried inside the house. The others went to search the house for supplies while Yusei and Bill stayed to talk.
"What do we do now, Bill?" Yusei asked.
"I'm not sure. That was plan A, B, C, all the way to fucking Z," he answered. But suddenly he paused as he looked a certain direction. Yusei turned and saw a man hanging.
"Do you know this guy?" Yusei asked.
"Frank," Bill answered.
"Who's Frank?" Yusei asked looking at Bill again.
"He was my partner," Bill answered. Yusei sighed sadly. "He's the only idiot who would wear a shirt like that." He cut the dead man down and looked him over. "He's got bites. Here. And…"
"He probably didn't want to turn, so he…" Yusei trailed off.
"Yeah, I guess not," Bill responded sadly. "Well fuck him."
They heard a car trying to run and they hurried to see Leo trying to turn a truck on. "Look what I found," Leo stated. "And it still has some juice in it."
Bill walked to the hood and stated angrily, "That's my battery. That fuckin' asshole." He turned to get into the car, ordering, "Get out." Leo didn't question and slid off of the driver's seat. He flipped the key and said, "The battery's drained but the cells are alive."
"Meaning?" Jack asked.
"Meaning, we push it, get it started, and the alternator will recharge the battery," Bill answered.
"Is that your guess?" Crow asked.
"This is a new Plan B," Bill responded. "Take it or leave it."
"What do you think, Yusei?" Akiza asked.
"Akiza, you drive. Jack, Crow, Leo, Luna, you ride. Bill and I will push," Yusei answered.
"You should check around the house. There are probably more supplies," Bill suggested. "Knowing you, you probably need a few more health kits."
"Right," Yusei agreed and walked into the house again. He went into a bedroom. He made a couple kits but noticed a note on the table. He picked it up and noticed it was a note from Frank. It read: "Well, Bill, I doubt you'd ever find this note cause you were too scared to ever make it to this part of town. But if for some reason you did, I want you to know I hated your guts. I grew tired of this shitty town and your set-in-your-ways attitude. I wanted more from life than this and you could never get that. And that stupid battery you kept moaning about- I got it. But I guess you were right. Trying to leave this town will kill me. Still better than spending another day with you. Good luck, Frank".
Yusei walked back and told Bill, "Bill, I found this in there. And I… I figured you should have it."
Bill took the note and read it. He then muttered, "That's how you feel. Well, fuck you too, Frank." He threw the note down. "Fuckin' idiot." He looked at Yusei. "You ready to go?"
"Alright, Bill. Let's do it," he stated. Akiza got in the driver's seat while the others climbed into the bed of the truck. He opened the garage door and told Akiza, "Alright, put it in first."
"Already done," she responded.
"Just keep your foot on the clutch and when we begin to roll…" Akiza cut him off.
"I know," she interrupted.
Yusei and Bill began to push the car forward. It didn't take long before the car went into a roll and Akiza tried to turn the car.
"Perfect," Bill stated. They began to push the car again. Suddenly, Infected came up. "Perfect," he commented again, but this time it was sarcastic. They quickly killed the Infected with Crow and Jack's help from the truck. The two men hurried back to pushing the car forward. "If we can just make it to that hill. We just need to get it over the edge." Suddenly, more Infected came running up and they were soon killed. "We don't have much time." They car was pushed fast. "You really fucked my day up. You know that, Yusei? Huh?" One more wave of Infected were killed before they pushed it.
"Get ready, Akiza," Yusei called before the truck went over the edge of the hill and rolled. Finally, the car started up. Yusei and Bill jumped into the bed of the truck and Akiza drove forward fast.
They reached the highway leaving town when Bill called, "This'll do. Stop!" Akiza pulled the car to a stop. Both he and Yusei hopped out of the bed of the truck. "I know it's not your fault you're immune. But you nearly got us killed because of that reason. Along with your friends." Yusei shrugged in response. "Me and the Fireflies square?"
"We're square," Yusei answered.
"Then get the fuck out of my town," Bill ordered.
Yusei smirked and nodded. He walked back and Akiza scooted over so Yusei could drive. They noticed a storm hollering over in the distance but ignored it. Crow, Jack, and Leo hopped into the back seats while Luna and Akiza sat beside Yusei in the front seats.
Yusei put it into gear and drove off.
