The back door bursting open, Cody ran right behind his siblings, Howie next to him as he held Tyler, leading them around the left side of the store. they slowed to a stop as they neared the front. "We're gonna get to the van, and get the hell outa here." The rest were still inside, grabbing some supplies from the store before the zombies over ran it.
Cody peered around the corner. Most of them were right in front of the store. If they were careful, they could make it to the van and be just fine. "Stay right next to me, got it?" His siblings nodded, and they moved forward, crouching the whole way, and moving ever so slowly.
Tyler had been asleep. But now a stranger was holding him. He was weary of the man holding him... who was this person? Cody was in front of him, and this man was following him... he started whining.
"Nononono..." Howie whispered, "You're alright... it's all okay..."
What?? Who did this guy think he was? Telling him to calm down... where was Mom and Dad? Why wasn't Cody holding him? He whined louder.
"Aw s***... Cody? Tyler's whining..."
Cody stopped. He looked back at him for a moment. "We're almost there... we should be fine..." he was convinced they were fine. The zombies weren't paying attention to them, being too concerned with the area the gun shot had come from, and the moving live flesh inside... until three of them turned towards the sound of the whining. "Aw crap... faster guys!" He whispered hoarsely. they were just twenty yards away.
Gun shots rang out. Cody looked to his right to see Danny bursting through the hoard, dropping zombies as he ran, with the rest of the gang close behind. "Get your asses in the van already!" Danny yelled.
"Run guys!" Cody yelled back at his family. They all made a mad dash for the van, but Cody didn't go full speed. He had to make sure his family made it into the van first.
They all clambered into the back, and shut the doors. Garry, Shaniqua, and Vera hopped into the back seat, Danny and Dominic getting in last to the front. Danny turned the car on, and slammed the accelerator. They were out of the parking lot in thirty seconds.
"Way to close back there... what the hell Gary??" Danny snapped.
"I'm sorry, the ****ing undead were walkin up to our front door!!"
"Language!" Danny yelled back. "And it doesn't matter! You can't just unload the lead on em. Use your damn head Garry..."
"Where are we going?" Cody chimed in.
"Dallas." Vera answered. "We gots fam over there."
Cody and David gave eachother a look. "Oh?" Cody said, "Well is there anyway you could drop us off in duncanville? We got people up there, friends."
Danny nodded. "I think we could do that."
David smiled. "Maybe things are okay over there?"
Cody nodded. "They just might be..."
