me
looking for approval. I nodded back and headed toward Chevy.
    He was still playing
with the gunshot wound on his shoulder.
    “Oh my god, Chevy.
Could you be any more of a pussy?”
    Chevy looked up at me,
the wound was already forming a scab, “Yeah, well I don’t see any
bullet holes in you. We’ll see how you feel if you ever get shot.”
    “You’ll never know
because I don’t plan on ever being shot. Can we talk for a minute?”
I asked.
    “Sure, Ty. What’s
up?”
    “Not here,” I said
as I motioned to the vehicle.
    I climbed into the
driver’s side of Kane’s Humvee. The strong smell of old man’s
cologne lingered in the cab. What kind of freak takes the time to put
on cologne in the middle of the zombie apocalypse? The kind that
likes to mutilate women, I guessed. It didn’t matter now; Sophie
took care of that problem with a single shot.
    Chevy inched his way
onto the passenger seat protecting his injured shoulder.
    “Close the door,
Chev. I don’t want anyone to hear us.”
    Chevy slammed the
armor-plated door and asked, “So what’s the big secret, Ty?”
    I took in a deep breath
and let it out slow, “It’s about the plan. I told everyone we
were heading to Port Kent.”
    “Yeah, so let's go.”
Chevy interrupted.
    “We can’t go yet.
We need to pick up supplies. I don’t know when we’ll have another
opportunity. Look out your window and tell me what you see?”
    Chevy glanced out his
window and back at me, “Your mom making out with Cowboy.”
    “What!” I screamed.
    “I’m just fuckin’
with you.” Chevy chuckled.
    “What’s wrong with
you? Now be serious, look out the window and tell me what you see in
the distance.”
    “The highway, a
wrecked Humvee, the Mall, and some…the Mall. We can get all the
supplies we need there.”
    “That’s what I was
thinking, but it’s a hell of a risk. With all the sporting goods
stores and grocery store on the end, we can stock up with food, ammo,
and weapons. The problem is, my gut is telling me the place is
infested with zombies.”
    Chevy’s head spun
back to me, “Zombies? When did we start calling them that?”
    “Well, what the hell
are they then? They’re dead, but they still walk around, and they
are trying to eat us. The only way to stop them is to shoot them in
the head, and if they bite us, we’ll turn into one of them. I’m
not sure about you, but I’ve watched enough T.V. to tell me those
things are zombies.”
    Chevy pinched his chin
between his two fingers, “I guess they’re zombies then. All the
more reason to get food and ammo.”
    I pulled Chevy’s
shirt back enough to look at his injury, “How serious is that
wound. No bullshit.”
    Chevy ran his finger
across the dried blood, “I’m 95% ready to kick ass.”
    I nodded my head,
“Good, that’s why you’re staying here.”
    “What!” Chevy
yelped.
    “You stay here with
the girls. I’m going to commandeer Sophie’s Jeep, and we’re
heading to the mall for supplies. I’m taking Luther and Cowboy with
me.”
    Chevy interrupted
again, “Ty, you can’t trust those guys. An hour ago Luther wanted
to kill us, and correct me if I’m wrong but, I’m sure Cowboy
wanted to do the same yesterday?”
    “I know what you’re
saying, Chev, but I don’t have a choice. Besides, Cowboy proved
himself today, and Luther is a parasite. He’ll cling onto anyone
willing to help keep him alive and right now that’s us. You and
Sidara keep an eye on everyone. If we’re not back in two hours, gas
up in Port Kent, then head to Albany without us.”
    “Fuck that. I’m not
leaving here without you. I’m going to the mall with you in case
you need help.” Chevy insisted.
    “No, Chevy. You’re
staying here. You’re not a hundred percent healthy; you said so
yourself. Besides, I need you here. I’m not taking a chance of
something else happening to my mom. If something happens to me,
promise me you’ll take care of her.”
    “You know it, Ty. I’d
give my
