OC: Dang, got caught writing too long of a post, ignore it for now and I'll get at it tomorrow for ya.

OOC: That's me for the night,early work day in the A.M.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what's going to happen next.

I can fix this, just need some time...

Its all good.

In the future, when we all are on like this, we should pm for turns so this doesn't happen again. lol.

And go ahead and fix your RP. Will wait for you to fix it when you can.

Anywaaay.. back to the cargo thing, FITZZ, I have absolutely no comprehension(sp?) of different ammo types. I'll probably have to go and look it all up..


I would suggest all the weapons (to the exclusion of all else) go in the battle bus - Shadow did retro fit the walls with compartments/straps and shelves (with straps) to it, which already had weaponry attached prior to being loaded up with all the other stuff. The pickup would be better with the other stuff IMO.

I should post some IC.. but I've got too much stuff going on at the minute. If I get some free time later (which I will), then I'll post then.

Oh, one last thing. What about Bob and the crazy feth's cat?

Shadow glanced down at the hulking corpse. "Ugly piece o' gak isn't it?"
"I hear you on that one, bro." Tombstone replied.
"Oh gak. I've just remembered - the cats." Shadow stated, before calmly walking back into the house, discarding the RPG along the way. It didn't take him long to find Bob and the other cat. Don't you turn out like your crazy son of a bitch owner now he thought as he looked at the other cat. He headed upstairs, before returning with some cat cases. He put the two cats in one each, before returning outside, and placing them in the battle bus, along with plenty of cat food.

"So, who are you?" Daisy asked their new companion. "You can call me Saunders." He replied smoothly.

As the others chatted to Saunders, Shadow went back inside. He gathered up loads of the wash that they'd used on themselves to remove radiation, and poured it into one container. He linked it up to a hose and proceeded to hose the ex-police riot vehicle down - the outside anyway. Once he was sure he'd done as much as he could, he discarded the tool.

Suddenly he felt dizzy, and his vision blurred. He placed a hand over his head before stumbling to the ground. He groaned quietly.
"You alright, Shad?" a familiar voice rang out from nearby. He looked up, and as his vision cleared, he saw Tombstone. The biker extended a hand and helped Shadow up. "Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks." Shadow replied, before heading inside the house another time. He found Tombstone was accompanying him, as he headed into his living room. He glanced miserably at his massive plasma TV - it was useless to him now at any rate. 'Least I wasn't the one to pay for all this stuff he grinned slightly to himself. He wasn't going to give up all of life's little pleasures though. "So, what're we doin' here then? I thought we'd got everything." Tombstone said. "Well, you thought wrong then. In times of despair, a little fun won't go amiss, no?"
Tombstone nodded slowly. "What do you have in mind?"
Shadow walked over to his TV, and next to it, there was a large plastic box - filled with about fifty DVDs. He picked it up and showed it to Tomb.
"That'll do a fat lot of good won't it?" The biker said.
"Hold it."
Tombstone abliged.
Shadow turned and began rustling around the room. "Here we go." He pulled out a portable DVD player, a laptop and a large battery that had multiple cables and leads sprouting from it.
"What's this?"
"Battery - external leads for connecting up to stuff and to plug into places to recharge. Sure, the power might be off someplaces, but not everywhere, right?"

Tombstone glanced down at the plastic box. He found to his delight that at the top where good films - I Am Legend, The Alien Trilogy, Predator one and two,Die Hard, Mission Impossible III, 2001, 2012, Disaster movie to name but a few. He couldn't say he'd like everything that Shadow had, but he knew his buddy had pretty good taste.

"Think they're good?"
Tombstone looked up and grunted.
"Wait til you see Brazil - amazing film, that."


After the pair had rooted around and grabbed a minifridge filled with beer, and dug up a host of other interested things they could watch, read, view, play and generally use for fun, they headed back outside and loaded up the pickup with it - securing it all tight - "we can't loose the booze." Tombstone said solemnly.



OOC: Yeah, that's my two cents for now.

Sorry to butt in, but Team Survivor is looking for more players .

We can use 1 or 2 more teams, and I'd like to finalize the teams over the weekend for a Monday start.

Please check it out - it's only one move per day.

Thanks!

RANDOM EVENT!

JohnHwangDD stumbled into the thread, desperately looking for people to help him. The wall cracked and splintered behind him - bricks and plaster dust raining down about him, the dust clogging his lungs and choking him.

"Noooo!" he managed to croak as the mass of necrotic muscle and bone reached out a huge, twisted arm and crushed his skull.

The beast roared as it continued to maul the corpse until it was nothing more than a lumpy pool of gore spread around the room before moving off in search of more victims.

JohnHwangDD is now dead

Yeah, he's just gone to like every active thread in this section of the forum and posted that btw. -.- I'm tempted to report it, but I'm too nice a guy.

OOC:...

Hmm,ok...so the "BigBullBeast" on top of the ambulance got fragged...and then JohnDD got his skull crushed.

Ok,I'll be RPing briefly.

Tombstone stepped into the front room,followed closely by Shadow.

The rest had gathered there,Halon and Suanders were talking with Keira,Daisy,Jennifer and Bonzo.

Halon and Bonzo had carried the unconscious K into the house and placed him on a couch near were Vikky lay.

Daisy rushed over to Tombstone throwing her arms around him, "Are we leaving now?" she asked.

" In a couple of minutes" The biker said putting an arm around the young woman and walking over to the rest of the group.

The biker threw an arm around Halon " Good to see you man...for a minute I figured you had cashed in your chips..I'm glad I was wrong about that."

Halon grinned at the biker " I still say your one spooky looking fether...but it's good to see you to man."

Tombstone laughed and looked over at Bonzo,who was standing very close to Keira,almost child like.

" Glad you made it out of there too Bonzo" the biker said.

Bonzo simply nodded and replied " Thank you."

" That's odd" the biker thought,but turned his attention to the new guy " I didn't catch your name." Tombstone said to Suanders.

The Cpl.tilted his head slightly and offered a small smile " Call me Suanders" the soldier said offering his hand.

" Tombstone" the biker said shaking the mans hand.

The soldier raised an eyebrow " That's an interesting handle you have there Tombstone."

The biker grinned " It's earned."

The soldier grinned back " I've no doubt..I've heard of your club...The Satans Servants..not a bunch anyone would want to have as enemies."

The biker smiled " So...how'd you come to hook up with our friends here Suanders?"

" They showed up about 2 seconds before I would have been ripped apart by that thing your buddy fragged" Suanders replied." I dove in their ambulance..and here I am."

The biker nodded,he knew there was more to Suanders story,but for now...what he had said was good enough.

Shadow stepped up and introduced himself to Suanders,the two talked briefly about several milatary units they were familar with.

" Ok ramblers" Tombstone said " I belive it's Time to get rolling...I'm driving the truck..Shadows got the Battle bus...so..who's ridding with who?"

" I'm with you hun" Daisy said,wrapping her arm around the bikers.

Tombstone pulled Daisy closer, "Ok..what about the rest of ya'll.."...

OOC:K hasn't woken up ^_^"

Drk_Oblitr8r wrote:OOC:K hasn't woken up ^_^"

OOC:

Ok,so..Vikky has been unconscious since Tom turned and was destroyed,and now K is unconscious as well?...ok,I'll go back and edit my RP.

OOC:

Why do I get the feeling that this is just Drk making an excuse not rp?

@ FITZZ - Saunders*

IC:

"I'm not letting you out of my sight, biker." Jennifer said.
"I'll go with Shadow in the riot vehicle - helluva lot safer than that pickup." That was Halon.
"I 'spose we'll just dump Vikky and Kevin in the back seats and Saunders can come along with us."
The soldier in question just nodded silently.
The ex-commando noticed Keira glaring at him, but when his gaze fell upon her, she turned away. "I'll go in the pickup." Keira stated quietly.
Bonzo spoke next; "uh.. I'll go where Keira does."

"Well, that's decided then. But we do still have that ambulance." Tombstone reminded them.
"I say screw it - we don't need another vehicle and hence we should not waste our fuel reserves on it when it runs out. I do, however, think we should try and salvage it for useful parts, such as the fuel tank."
"And if someone gets hurt? We could use the equipment." Keira challenged.
"Do you know anyone qualified to use all that gak?" Shadow retorted.
"Do you know anyone qualified for all the gak that we're in now? Cause I sure as hell don't see anyone."
Shadow turned around and opened a cupboard, and pulled out a shotgun that had the stock sawn off. He racked it. "Well then, maybe you need to see an optician, cause you're lookin' at the best man for the job - overly qualified." Shadow grinned.
Keira looked angry, but said nothing.

Shadow turned to the others. "I got some stuff to attend to. I'll leave you all to finish this discussion about the ambulance." With that, he walked off in search of two cats.

OOC: Guys, just to let y'all know, I'm going away tomorrow (sunday 1st) for 8 days. I will be taking my laptop and portable wireless "thingy" but whether I will be able to get on the internet is unknown, but highly probable.

Of course, they just had to forcast rain for the next 10 odd days, didn't they?

OOC:

So the line up is...

In the truck
-------------------

Tombstone
Daisy
Jennifer
Keira
Bonzo

In the Battle Bus
------------------------
Shadow
Halon
Saunders
Vikky
K.

Ok, RPing shortly...

Moving quickly The men carried Vikky and K to the Battle Bus,placing them gingerly in the rear of the vehicle.

Keira looked at Halon, " Make sure you keep an eye on them,Vikky especially,keep checking their condition regularly."

Halon nodded and climbed aboard the Battle Bus.

Tombstone stood talking with Shadow, " Follow us and stay close" the biker said " remember channel 33 on the CB to keep in contact."

Shadow nodded at the biker " I got it man" he said loading the cat carriers onto the bus.

" If you start to feel sick" Tombstone continued "Let Halon or Saunders drive"

Shadow looked at the biker and grinned " You worry to much."

The biker nodded " It's my mother complex" he laughed " Just stay close and be ready for anything."

" I got it..mom." Shadow laughed.

"Let's go then" Tombstone said slapping Shadows shoulder and heading for the truck.

Keira and Bonzo had climbed into the rear of the truck,Tombstone looked in on them " You two ready?" he asked.

" Yes." Bonzo answered staring out the window.

Keira looked at the biker " As ready as I'll ever be." she said.

The biker nodded walking to the front of the truck,Daisy and Jennifer stood talking.

" Hop aboard ladies" Tombstone said " This train is leaving the station"

They both climbed into the truck,Daisy in the middle,Jennifer at the passenger window.

The biker climbed behind the wheel and started the engine.

He shouted out of the window towards the Battle bus,which was now idling as well " You guys set?!"

Shadow made a thumbs up gesture and nodded.

The biker pulled the truck out in front of the other vehicle and begin driving down the access road away from the Fortress.

Tombstone clicked on the CB,dialing in the agreed upon contact channel.

" Radio test..channel 33"The biker said " Shadow you copy..over"

" Roger that..I copy..over" Shadow replied.

The biker pulled the truck up to the end of the access road,surveying the situation on the main route.

There were several wrecked cars,most of witch seemed to have been abandoned.

A couple dozen ghouls,drawn by the noise of the engines shambled into view,nothing they couldn't easily drive past.

" Looks pretty clear so far" Tombstone said " I don't see any of the bigger things..over"

" Roger that..Let's head out then..over." Came Shadows reply.

The Biker drove forward,knocking a ghoul down with the trucks bumper and driving over it's rotted body,he felt it's head pop like a grape beneath the trucks massive tire.

Tombstone turned south onto the Highway,checking his rear view mirror he saw the Battle Bus turn in behind them crushing a few zombies as it went.

The biker brought the truck up to 50MPH,no need pushing it to hard,there was no telling what they might run in to ahead.

Jennifer stared out the windshield, " So..it's about 200 miles to your gangs safe house?" she said to Tombstone.

" About that far...maybe a bit more" the biker replied " Barring any real trouble..we'll get there in a few hours."

The woman nodded and closed her eyes,resting her head against the seat.

Tombstone looked at Daisy " You can get some rest to if you want." he said .

"No" Daisy said " I'm going to keep watch with you" she smiled at the biker " Just to make sure nothing sneaks up on us."

Tombstone nodded and caressed Daisies thigh " Sounds good to me..I could always use an extra set of eyes." the biker smiled " and..the company."

Daisy glanced up at the biker smiling " It is going to be a long ride."

Tombstone nodded as he dove the truck steadily down the Highway....

Twenty miles west of Cape City,in a fortified mansion,protected by a small army of Motorcycle gang members,Adam Phoenix sat at his desk in a luxurious upstairs bedroom.

The biker One Eye had reported to him that Phoenix's daughter Jennifer was now under the protection of the assassin Tombstone.

Phoenix didn't particularly find that bit of news comforting,his dealings with Tombstone had led him to believe that the man was absolutely psychotic...a cold blooded killer in every sense of the word.

Still,One Eye had assured Phoenix that Tombstone would protect his daughter,and in time see that she was brought safely to him.

Phoenix sighed, while these "Satans Servants" made excellent business partners and had vastly increased both his profits and power,he certainly didn't care for their undisciplined behavior..nor their unpredictability.

"Perhaps" Phoenix thought "..a bit of precautionary action may be in order."

He removed the small cellular device from his inner jacket pocket and hit the call button.

OOC: For those who don't recall,Adam Phoenix is Jennifer's Father,he's the drug kingpin who faked his own death,and basically controls the entire drug trade in the surrounding cities.

I thought it might be interesting to throw a few twist into the story that doesn't involve zombies,but that still may give our happy little group some problems.

OOC: I guess I'll throw a bit more into the Phoenix story.

...BIC...

In a subterranean warehouse,somewhere near Cape City a phone rang.

A huge man,dressed in a dark grey suit,answered the call quickly.

" Yes,Mr Phoenix..is that you?" the man said.
"I understand sir..yes sir" a long pause " I'll handle it personally sir...goodbye sir."

The man turned,sitting in various chairs and couches were a dozen other men,all of them employed under Mr.Phoenix for their various skills.

"We've been given orders boys" the huge man said." You each have 30 minutes to get your gear together...then we move out."

A tall thin man with a face like a rat spoke quickly " What orders..what the feth are we doing?" the man downed his drink and continued " why in the feth are we heading out into that crazy gak going on up there?"

The huge man looked at the others evenly,speaking lowly and with menace in his voice " We have orders" he said " you will all be made aware of what they are very shortly...if you chose not to follow them to the letter" the huge man produced a pistol " Your free to stay down here."

The rat faced man shook his head getting up from his seat " Wait a second..wait a second,I'm not saying I ain't gonna do what the Big Man says...I'll be ready..I'll be ready to go..30 minutes..ok."

The huge man glanced at his watch " 28 minutes to be exact." he said.

The other men scrambled to get their gear together,the rat faced man leading the way.


OOC: @ Silver.

Feel free to use these guys in any event you may wish to,just keep in mind that they work for Jennifer's Father and thus would never attempt to harm her,unless they absolutely had to...or had some as of yet undiscovered "evil plot".

**OOC**
Will be posting some more RP soon. Work has me pretty tied up atm. Sorry for any inconvience.

LOVE the new twist.

"So no pot shots right?" Halon asked Shadow.

"Yeah, we don't want to get stuck out here again." Shadow told Halon "The noise from the trucks is enough to draw them out, the gunfire will just bring in more."

Halon looked to the front of the battle bus, Saunders was sitting next to Shadow while Vikky and K were strapped into seats and looked like they had fallen asleep that way. It was tempting to just leave them though, Halon's mid played with the idea but he was just too nice of a guy to do that.

Vikky passed out for who knows what reason and K was probably knocked out from the nuke.

"Hey Shadow?" Halon began.

"Yeah?" Shadow replied slowly.

"You're the top secret guy around here right? Do you know if anything was going on in that hospital, some kind of research or something?" Halon asked.

"Not really." Shadow said quickly, Halon didn't know if he was faking or really didn't know anything. "Why?".

"Well," Halon said with a sigh "there was this doctor there with a secret room and after the nuke went off he was gone. I felt fine besides a big headache, Bonzo seems to be no longer crazy, and K has his arm back.".

Shadow turned his head back to look quickly at K.

"How did I not notice that?" Shadow said in disbelief.

"You mean that kid had only one arm before?" Saunders joined in.

"Yeah, only one arm. I also don't think a nuke would cause the arm to grow back either so I think the Doc did something to him...us." Halon said ending in a lower town than before.

Halon was quiet and put his head back against the interior of the battle bus. "What the feth did that guy do to us?" Halon thought to himself.

Jennifer looked out the window watching the abandoned cars go past, every so often a pack of ghouls would look up from whoever they were eating and try to chase after them but the vehicles easily out ran them. She wondered if there was anywhere left safe from them, some form of safe haven where they could live instead of being chased around the country by the ghouls, obiously some form of military remained their new freind was proof of that.

She looked ahead, there was a sign indicating a turn off for a town ahead, the sign was dented and falling over as a car had lodged itself at the bottom of the post. a body was trying to get out the car but couldn't itself from the seatbelt, she chuckled silently to herslef as they drove past, atleast these things weren't that smart, then they would be in trouble.

Then it clicked in her head, she was actually on her way to see her father after so long.

Tombstone drove steadily along,the lights from the Battle Bus reflected in the rear view mirror.

For the first time in days the biker felt almost optimistic,in a little over an hour,hopefully,he would be back amongst his brothers,back among The Satans Servants,his only real family.

He glanced over at Daisy,who,despite making a great effort to stay awake,had dozed off.

"Meh" The biker thought " She needs the rest."

" So..about another hour?" came Keiras voice from the back seat.

"About that..give or take" Tombstone replied,surveying the surrounding roadside,lots of stalled and abandoned cars,some looked completely burned out,ghouls shambled about here and there,but apparently most of them had made their way to the cities and surrounding towns.

" And I suppose your biker buddies will be happy to see you." Keira continued.

" I would think so.." The biker said " Hell..they'll be happy to see anyone who's alive."

"Especially us women folk." Keira sneered.

"Wha..look..I don't know what your getting at..but rest assured,no one is going to rip your clothes off when you walk through the door." Tombstone replied irritated.

" No...not when I walk through the door.." Keira said

" Let me get this clear with you now" Tombstone said " My brothers aren't a pack of knuckle dragging slack jawed drooling idiots."

"Ok" Keira said,not sounding very convinced.

" Don't worry" Bonzo spoke up " I'm sure things will be ok."

Keira turned and looked at the clown,she started to say something,but was taken back by Bonzos new mannerisms.

" You have my word" The biker said " No one will bother you."

Keira said nothing,she turned her head and watched as the wasted roadside rolled by.

The Huge Man spoke to the others.

" It's Mr Phoenix's opinion that due to the nuclear strike,those who have his daughter will have abandoned their stronghold and are quiet probably headed for Cape City...more specifically,the biker safe house."

The group of seated men listened intently.

" Mr. Phoenix has requested that we begin patrols,within a 20 mile area,concentrating on the most probable routes that they would be using." the Huge Man said.

" Mr. Phoenix wishes for us to retrieve his daughter and assure her safe arrival at his location" The Huge Man continued " Mr.Phoenix has also issued other directives,all of which you will all be made aware of when it becomes necessary."

" And what about all those fething things/" the Rat faced man asked.

The Huge Man laughed lightly,gesturing to the back wall which held a variety of firearms.

" No doubt we can accommodate your security needs." The Huge Man said.

The Rat Faced man said nothing.

" Gather what you believe will be of use to you..all of you" The Huge Man said.

The group of men moved to the rear wall,each selecting various side arms,SMGs,Assault Riffles and ammunition,several men added grenade launchers to their caches.

" If you are all prepared gentlemen" The Huge Man said " I believe we should be going."

5 minutes later,four identical H3 Hummers appeared,ascending from the underground garage.

A half hour had passed,and Tombstone and the others had driven in silence,the steady thrum of the trucks engine and the roar of the battle bus behind them the only sounds in the still night.

It had been perhaps ten minutes or more since the biker had seen signs of any ghouls either,apparently this stretch of road was far enough away from any populated area.

Keira broke the silence " I honestly don't want you to think I'm expecting your friends to...behave badly" she said to the biker " I'm simply ..oh..I don't know..cautious."

Tombstone nodded but said nothing.

" After we meet up with your friends" Keira continued " Do we have any definite ideas as to what follows."

" I'm honestly thinking about the commune Daisy had brought up" Tombstone said " It's isolated...only one small town nearby...seems like it may be a place to hold up for a bit."

Jennifer glanced over at the biker " My Father may have other plans." she said.

Tombstone laughed " Princess..once I get you to your old man,you and he can go where ever you like."

" Where would your Father want to go?" Keira asked

" I've no way of knowing that" Jennifer replied " But..I don't know that some run down cabins out in the woods would be his ideal location."

Tombstone roared laughter " Princess...right about now I'd bet your dear Daddy is only concerned with not getting his ass bitten off."

Jennifer rolled her eyes and returned to looking out the window.

" Right now" the biker said " I'm just concerning myself to getting you to your old man" he looked over at Jennifer " Once that's done..we'll make plans from that point."

The Biker revved the truck up to 60MPH,the sooner he was at the Satans safe house..the better he'd feel.

"He's starting to speed up." Saunders said to Shadow barely above a whisper.

"I know, I can see it myself." Shadow replied lethargically.

"Hey, you feeling alright?" Saunders said louder.

"Wh-, yeah, I'm fine." Shadow said as if he just snapped out of a trance and began to speed up to keep pace with the truck.

Halon was almost falling asleep when he heard this.

"Shadow," Halon began with a yawn "if you're tired, ring Tombstone and let him know that we're changing drivers."

"Am I correct to assume that you know how to drive one of these?" Shadow asked almost irritably.

"No, but I didn't know how to drive an ambulance before today either." Halon began while trying to stand up a little before continuing "Are we there yet?"

"Halon?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah?" Halon responded.

"Do me a favor and spit into the wind, tell me where it lands." Shadow said sarcastically.

"Why?" Halon said going along with the joke.

"If it hits you in the face we're not there yet." Shadow ended chuckling.

Saunders couldn't help but laugh a little as well, the joke wasn't funny, but in this situation anything was.

"So, where exactly are we going now?" Saunders sked Shadow.

"The biker's hideout or something." Halon said interrupting Shadow.

"Almost correct." Shadow sad while dsmissing Halon "The gang that Tombstone is in has a safehouse around here and that's where we're going. We also have the daughter of the guy in charge with us so chances are there will be more bikers."

"Is that a good thing for us?" Saunders asked "What if they're hostile?"

"I doubt they would be, we helped protect the guy's daughter after all. That most likely counts for something due to the whole "honor" thing most mafias and some gangs have." Shadow lectured.

There were a few minutes of silence.

"Can I get on the gatling?" Halon asked.

"Why in god's name would you want to do that?" Saunders asked while he turned back to look at Halon.

"I'm bored and it mightwake these two up." Halon said "It's almost like a charity kind of thing."

"No." Shadow replied coldly.

Halon was bored and looked down at the car's floor.

He began softly kicking K and Vikky in their feet, trying to wake either one up.

"C'mon" Halon said quietly "One of you two wake up."

"Why are you bothering them?" Saunders began "Is it because you're bored?"

"No, its because its freaky as hell back here alone with two unconcious kids. Almost Children of the Corn creepy." Halon said seriously.

Shadow grabbed the CB and called in,
"How much longer do you think Tomb?"

"Not too much longer, traffic is surprisingly light for this time of day." Tombstone replied with a chuckle.

"I hear that." Shadow said while replacing the CB on its holder.

How much longer do you think Tomb?" Came Shadows voice over the CB

"Not too much longer, traffic is surprisingly light for this time of day." Tombstone replied with a chuckle.

"I hear that." Shadow replied.

The biker laughed and replaced the CB.

" Tombstone" said a voice from behind the biker.,he glanced into the rear view mirror and was surprised to see it was Bonzo who had spoken,the biker hadn't even been aware that the clown knew his name.

" What can I do for ya Bonzo" the biker answered.

" Why did the zombie cross the road?" Bonzo asked.

" Why did the..wha..?" The biker said " I have no fething idea why the zombie crossed the road Bonzo."

" Neither do I" Bonzo said " But...he is." the clown pointed over Tombstones shoulder.

The biker saw it, a zombie stepping into the path of the truck.

Tombstone attempted to swerve around the walking corpse,but he was moving to fast,the trucks reinforced bumper clipped the ghoul, sending it pinwheeling into the air.

"Hang on" The biker yelled as the truck skidded to the side.

Tombstone deftly turned into the skid,allowing the truck to fish tale,eventually turning 180 degrees and halting.

The biker watched the Battle Bus come to a stop several yards away.

" Feth me." Tombstone yelled

Daisy,who had been awakened by the impact of the ghoul, looked around, " What did we hit?" she asked.

" A pizza delivery guy named Bob." Tombstone said " He left an extra large pepperoni and cheese right before he went over the truck."

" Good" Daisy said " I could use a decent meal" she laughed.

Tombstone chuckled.

" Hey Stone" came Shadows voice over the CB " That was some pretty nifty driving buddy."

The biker lifted the mic and spoke " Yes..I thought so myself..you see where Bob went after we hit him."

" Bob?...oh the Zombie..yes,he went under the Battle Bus..I think he's about a half mile back resting." Shadow replied.

" Good for him." the biker laughed.

" So.." Shadow said " Do you plan on driving backwards to Cape City..or are you going to turn the truck around?"

Tombstone flipped Shadow his middle finger and laughed " I thought I'd sit here and stare at your pretty face for a while" The biker said.

Shadows laughter came over the CB speaker.

The biker started the engine and was preparing to turn the truck around when Shadows voice came over the speaker again.

" Tombstone! Watch your six!" Shadow shouted.

The biker glanced into the rear view mirror,a dozen or more ghouls were advancing on the rear of the truck.

Tombstone punched the engine,whirling the truck around.

Now,with the truck facing the zombies,Tombstone noticed more of the walking corpses appearing from the woods.

" Guess where getting close to some town." the biker muttered.

" Drive Tombstone!" Keira shouted.

From behind the truck,the roar of the Gatling erupted.

Jennifer drew her pistol and reached to roll down the window.

"Whoa princess!" the biker said " don't open that window..we ain't sticking around to play shoot 'em up..we're making tracks."

In front of the truck,several zombies were blasted apart by the onslaught of the Gatling Gun.

Tombstone yelled into the CB " C'mon Shadow..let's get the feth out of here!"

The biker hit the gas,and the truck sped up, rushing past the grasping ghouls....

The Huge Man sat in the front seat of the lead Hummer,behind him the Rat Faced man talked endlessly.

The Rat Faced man was becoming quite annoying to The Huge Man,when they had retrieved Mr.Phoenix's daughter,The Huge Man planned to show the Rat faced man just how annoying he thought he was.

" Couldn't we simply locate a safe area overlooking the roadways and keep watch for them?" the Rat faced man asked.

The Huge Man said nothing.

" I mean..getting ourselves killed driving around..with all those things around..what good will that do any one." Rat Face continued.

The Huge Man said nothing.

" Feth..we don't even know where she is...this is madness." Rat Face said.

The Huge Man continued staring out at the horizon,but spoke " Would you care to inform Mr. Phoenix that you believe retrieving his daughter is a foolish endeavour?"

The Rat Faced man shut his mouth with a snap.

" No" The Huge Man said " I didn't think that you would."

The Hummers moved on,continuing to the city limits,and headed North.
