"Hey, Cody," Danny said from the drivers seat, "We're on West Camp Wisdom Road..."
Cody sat up straight and looked out the window. We're almost there...after a week on the road... we're finally almost there.
David nudged Cody's shoulder."What if they're not there... what if, like, they're all dead, or they're zombies?"
'Then we'll deal with it at that point."
"Hey," Vera said, "Here." she handed Cody a backpack. "It has a couple days of provisions in it."
Cody took the backpack and nodded. "Thanks..."
Vera nodded back, but didn't look away for a second. She finally turned back around in her seat and sat back.
Cody had quite a few friends that lived in Sunset Acres. Good people. People he felt like he had lived his whole life with, yet had only known them for a couple years.
And now he was going back. Back to where he felt he belonged. To a place that was filled with joyful people... at least, that's the way it used to be. Who knew what the neighborhood was like now.
They turned in to Sunset Acres and stopped. They a hopped out of the van and surveyed the area.
"It's quiet," Danny said.
"Too quiet..." Vera said, smiling.
Danny rolled his eyes, and then focused on Cody. "Anyways, I hope you fellas find what you're looking for. Maybe we'll run into eachother again one day." He handed Cody and Howie each a pistol, and extra rounds. "You might need it." He looked back at the van, and then back at Cody's family. "You sure this is where you wanna be?"
Cody nodded. "Yeah. Thanks for getting us here man. I appreciate it."
The two shook hands, and they parted ways.
Dany's crew climbed in the van. "Hey, Howie! You stayin or comin'?"
"I think I'll be stayin," he turned to Cody, "If that's alright with you."
Cody nodded.
Danny waved, and drove off.
"Alright then."Cody said. "Howie, you keep rear, David, I want you right in front of him, holding Tyler. Mark, behind me, and the rest of you in the middle holding hands." they all complied, and they started walking down Sarah Dr.
Passing the backyard farm on the right of them, they noticed the lack of animals. "Hey, where'd the chickens and lamas go at the farm?" David piped.
"Dunno," Cody replied, "they could've been eaten, or let go, or anything."
They made it halfway down the street,and stopped in front of the Carson's house, where Cody's good friend Rose lived. Cody walked up to the front door and turned the knob. It was open. They all walked inside, and after sweeping the house, they settled in the living room.
"Alrighty," Cody announced, as he equipped a gun and machete, "I'm gonna scope around for a bit. I'll be back a little later, alright? David, watch the kiddos, but listen to Howie, kay?"
David was about to argue, but stopped. "Kay."
Cody walked back outside. He continued down Sarah Dr. Ah, the Johnson's house. Maybe someone is inside, he thought. The house was all the way down at the end of the street. He walked slightly faster so as to reach the house sooner, but as soon as he got in front of the house, he tripped. He fell straight forward, but made sure to go with the fall. Upon hitting the ground, he rolled with it, and stood back up. He had hit his arms, and scraped his knee, but other than that, he was okay.
BLAM!
the dirt flew not a yard to his right from where he stood. "Oh geez, hey! Stop!' he threw his hands in the air.
"Cody??" he heard a female voice almost squeal.
The voice came from on top of the house, where he saw figure holding a rifle. She had long, what looked like brown, hair. She was kneeling on the roof, holding her rifle in one arm. Cody was just about to respond, when all of a sudden, he heard what sounded like a chainsaw starting up. He looked towards the front door.
Running straight towards him, was yet another female, but this one had the most deranged look on her face.
S***, he thought, it WAS a chainsaw! He gasped in fear as he realized that she was coming straight at him with the intent of tearing him apart.
This was it. His final moments. He was going to die.
