looks like. We are still in a truck and there isn’t anything behind us that we need to worry about as of now so if we need to get out of here I think we are ok.”
                  Aslin thought about it and did a u-turn in the middle of the highway. He backed it up slowly Clary sat at the edge of the tailgate watching he sat back by the window and slid it open. “You boys seeing this here? Shaun what the hell’s wrong with them they’re just standing there.”
                  Shaun turned around in his seat giving them the full attention that they deserved. “Don’t get any closer I’m pretty sure those aren’t soldiers there it’s something worse.”
                  Clary tapped on the roof of the truck, “Stop the truck will you? Greg hand me your rifle I want to see those things up close and personal. If they’ve Turned I say we take them out from a distance anyone got a problem with that?”
                  Aslin said, “Well you know my take on distance over up close and in it. I wonder how many more there are there. I hope we have enough ammunition on us.”
                  Shaun patted his backpack happier that he brought it with every passing second. “Greg and I should have plenty of ammo to get us through this. If we can’t find some more 223 bullets at a army base we are seriously doing something wrong.”
                  Aslin put it in park and said, “What’s the point in changing a working formula?”
                  Clary twisted a knob on his shoulder. “My battery says half full s that means it’ll probably last another half hour at best. You know how great these things are.”
                  Aslin checked his and opened the door walking across the highway and into the woods that lined the opposite side of the highway. Clary yeled, “How long do you need to take care of them?”
                  “Give me an hour, keep your battery off and reserve it.”
                  “That’s great and all but what if you need help?”
                  “Well Clary if you hear me firing my handgun how about you guys come and pick me up.”
                  Tina hopped out of the truck and climbed into the front driver seat. She looked at Shaun and Greg laughing for a second. “What’s so funny Tina?” Greg asked.
                  “Seems kind of like deja vu you guys ready to go and save the soldiers and me driving through no mans land.”
                  Shaun tried to watch Aslin but within a minute he melted into the tree line and was gone. He pointed at Greg, “We need to be able to do that shit.”
                  Greg said, “Yeah but what goods it going to do if they can still find us by smell? Remember the bloody rag it did more than us screaming at those things did.”
                  Shaun watched in awe. He didn’t care what Greg said, those kind of skill were going to prove to be useful. If reports didn’t come back with the news that they were praying for from the CDC this was going to be good to know. He thought that as people changed that sometimes it would be better to be able to go undetected. Clary poked his head in through the window, “TIna go ahead and kill the truck last thing we want to do is pollute the air wit our carbon emissions.”
                  Tina snapped her head around but Clary was already smiling, “We don’t have the gas to waste.”
                  “Nice to know boys never mature Clary.”
                  “Things are already dark enough, if we can’t joke then we are all gonna snap at some point.”
                  Tina killed it just leaving the radio on keeping it low but they all felt a little piece of normalcy if it hadn’t been for the pistols and rifles spread around the truck. Clary heard the new music
