“What was that all about?” Jack asked.
Amelia shrugged, “Nothing.”
“He was in your room. Why?”
“Um? We were just talking-”
“While you were getting dressed? Did he help
you?”
“God no!” Amelia said, thoroughly appalled,
“Jack, are you crazy? Just, just no!”
Jack sighed and shook his head, looking at the wall next to
Amelia.
“I’m… I’m gonna go see what Rachael and
Sherri have to report,” Amelia brushed past Jack and strode
into the kitchen.
Rachael and Sherri were dripping water and shivering.
“How’s the weather?” Amelia asked, slightly
amused.
“Th-The rain d-doesn’t look like it’s g-going
to let up anytime s-soon,” Sherri stuttered out.
Rachael nodded, “Yeah, and you’re right about us
needing to leave, there are zombies everywhere… Not so
much on this street-only God knows why-but we need to hurry
up.”
Everyone had crowded into the kitchen to listen in.
“Okay,” Amelia said, “I’m gonna take a
patrol a few houses down.”
“Are you going to tell us what this grand plan of yours
is?”
Everyone turned to face Tori, who had spoken for the first time
since that morning.
Amelia cleared her throat, “Yes,” she paused,
“A few days ago, I saw a blue Ford coming and going, and
last night I saw the lights of the house on… I know that
neighbor, her name’s Mary… We’ve been friends
since I was in kindergarten and she was in preschool. Her brother
and his wife drive a blue Ford. I think there’s a chance
that they have more people over there, hiding out, just as we
are.”
“Okay, so who are you going to take?” Nick asked.
Amelia looked around, “Andy, Lindsey, Rachael and
Shenandoah.”
“Your dog?” Brendan looked skeptical.
“Yes, Shenandoah’s a hunting dog. She listens to me
and I don’t have to worry about leashing her up or her
running off… She’ll follow me even if it means her
certain death.”
“How do you know?” Tori asked.
Amelia bit her lip, “I just do. Trust me.”
Tori snorted.
Tired. :\
