“Ok I got it. Come on get in. lets go.” Drake starts shooting to keep them of the car. He fires some shoots. We get back to the road. “Keep an eye out for the next road sign, so we can find where we are.” “There’s one Shawn.” “What does it say?”
“It says Jackson rd. Here we are on the map. We are headed in the right way. “We need to find a gas station to get some gas and food.” We drive about 20 miles and we see a sign that says gas next 5 miles. We keep going. It’s been 7 minutes. We get to the gas station. We pull in.
“Drake the pumps aren’t working. Go inside and see if you can find the switch for the pumps.” “Yea, I can do that. I got to get something to eat anyway.” I go in to tell Drake to come on, and to get some snacks too. We get back to the car and get going again.
We turn the radio on to see if we can get some news updates on the situation, but there’s nothing. We have been driving for a few days now. We change back and forth, so each other can get some rest. We get to the Texas border. It looks like the infection has made it this far. This state looks as bad as the states we have came through, we still don’t know what has caused the infection.
The only thing we know is how to kill them. We pull off to find a place to spend the night. To get a break from driving we found a hotel that has some people moving around. So we head to the hotel. We flash our light to get there attention. They flash back at us. Telling us it’s ok to come up.
They send someone down to unlock the doors, so we can get in. it’s only a few people here. People that survived the infection, they said there was more, but some ran off and some were bitten and had to be taken care of. They say they have been here for a few weeks. I ask them how they have lasted so long.
They say that they have some supplies here. That’s how we have lasted so long. “Hi my name is Shawn and this is Drake. What are your names?” “My name is Alexis and this is my sister Jordan and that is Brian over there.”
Are you guys going with us? Drake and I are heading west. I’m trying to get to my family in San Diego, C.A. I’m not sure, me and my sister….. Don’t worry about it now. You can sleep on it a make your decision tomorrow before we leave. Alexis says, well, we are heading to bed now. Good night.
So Brian what about you? Yea, I’m coming along if it’s ok with you guys. I hope the girls decide to go. They won’t last long by them selves. I’m going to bed guys. Talk to you tomorrow.
“Jordon did you see Shawn? Wasn’t he cute?” “Yea, I think he was checking you out. He seems really nice,” good night Jordon. You too.
I can’t fall asleep. I can’t get Alexis out of my mind. She is so pretty when she smiles. I wonder what she thinks of me. Don’t want to leave them here. I just don’t have the heart to.
