Saying the night was eventful just seemed like a understatement. The early morning had become a funeral and then it was on to the next task was prepping everyone to leave. After everything they had seen it the bayou it was best for the group to head out and find a new place to call home. The morning was a bitter time for most in the group but after the sadness was handled and the HUMVEES were packed and ready it was time to roll out.
Jace went to the next house early that morning and got his bike back that Arden had ‘borrowed’ the day before. Sky followed to leave a note saying that Jace and that group were leaving. She explained they would reach out when settled. they returned walking the bike through the cleared path in the woods. Sky and Ric took one Humvee with Walker, Nicole and Jess had the second HUMVEE. Branden had his bike ready but he was silent since the funeral. The third Humvee was tasked to Brian and Alex to drive to Baton Rouge. They could jump ship once there if they chose and in the back they had some MRE’s, some of the fuel and a small amount of supplies if they did decide they wanted to head out once there.
Paige had decided to stay behind that morning to have time to grieve for her sister and clear her head. Jace felt bad for her even though they never could get along. He assured her he would send word once they got settled somewhere safe. Jace had a place in mind that his parents and grandma had taken him years ago. “Okay everyone it’s time to head out. I will be in the lead and Branden will fall in behind the convoy.” He shouted loud enough for everyone to hear through windows down.
Climbing on his bike He started the engine and headed out of the driveway. The convoy fell in behind him and they were on the main road. Looking in the rearview he said his goodbyes to the bayou in his mind. They were on the road to a safer place and it was for the best. They would come back once they got settled and talk to the others.
The trip was fairly un eventful they only stopped to clear the road when needed which made the trip end up being 4 and a half hours . Jace looked at the sign for the city limits of Baton Rouge as they passed. Coming to a halt he parked outside a strip of stores and shut his bike off. He kicked the stand down and scanned the area before climbing off the bike. A few walkers off in the distance was the only threat he saw at the moment.
He moved to the HUMVEE Nicole was in and opened the door. “We need to go through these stores and see if we can find anything of use. “ He said looking at her before moving to the front of the Convoy. Once people gathered around He cleared his throat. “Okay First Ric and Branden arm up and stay with the convoy and make sure nothing gets to sky or the baby. As for everyone else we will go raid these stores for supplies. Anything of use grab it and I don’t need to tell any of you to be careful. “
He said to the group in front of him. “Nicole and Jess you’re with me. Brian, And dude with the dog I think you can handle yourselves. Meet back here in 30 minutes. We can always come back later if needed. Let’s move guys.” With the Jace headed towards a Sports/outdoors store with Nicole and jess. The door was cracked and looking into the store he could see a silhouette moving around. Jace glanced over to Nicole and gestured for her to go down the right side of the store. Jess took the left and Jace went down the middle. Moving quietly he saw the form again but it moved way to fast and stealthy to be a zombie.
Jace quickened his pace and came up behind the man. Grabbing him by the collar he placed a knife to the man’s throat. “Don’t make any stupid moves. Are you alone?” He said in a firm voice. What happened next he didn’t expect a laugh escaped the man. He knew this laugh but he wasn’t sure if his mind was just fooling him. “William?!” Jace said letting go of the man in front of him. His eyes adjusting to the darkness he recognized the features of his best friends face. “Holy shit man. Where the hell have you been?” He said as he pulled him into a bro hug then stepped back.
