[Race for Safe Haven - Beyond FUBAR]
"Everyone....Everyone just keep
calm!" Mike shouted with his arms raised. Through the chaos he tried to
lead the group into the vehicle depot and just now had a chance to get his
bearings. "This is beyond FUBAR, Tara said as Mike attempted to account
for everyone. Matt was pushing a crate into the entrance. "What happened
to Steve?" Mike asked. Matt didn't bother answering. Tara shook her head.
"We can't leave him," Mike said as he made for the door. "No!" Tara cried out "He was bit, or he thought he was. He held those things off enough for us to duck in here." Mike wore a distressed look as he sighed. "What about Brandon and Rhett?" he asked. "They made it," Matt answered "They got the generator running and made a bee line for the labs. I saw them enter while you two were firing at the last few zombies."
"Okay," Mike said as he paced "They made it, so they'll get the drugs. All we really need to do now is figure a way out of this."
"How?" Matt asked "Any vehicle in here has no keys. None of us know how to hotwire."
"They'll come back for us," Mike said confidently.
"Why would they?" Matt asked, a grim expression on his face "Brandon was here to pick up the drugs and Rhett was told time and again by the most of us that once we were done in Albany, he would be out of the group. There is no incentive for either of them to risk their necks for us."
"They'll come back," Tara said, eyeing Mike who stopped pacing and stared off into space "Rhett won't leave us, not after everything we've been through so far."
"Well I'm glad you think so," Matt said sarcastically "And you think Brandon will also be a hero because...?"
"He's too scared to go off on his own. His little doctor buddy won't last much longer. Guy like him wants as many people around him as possible."
"Even if that's true," Matt said as he folded his arms and leans against a wall "Even if they think we weren't all slaughtered and they indeed feel the urge to save us...What rational person would want to deal with the small army of the dead out there? There were four of us and we were overwhelmed almost immediately. What makes you think the two of them could possibly make it through to us and have a way to get us all out alive?"
"They'll find a way...They have to..." Tara said as Matt ignored her and walked away from the door. The vehicles inside varied in style and were lined up neatly, each facing a garage door to the outside. "Maybe one of these trucks have keys inside," Matt said as he approached the first one "Gonna start hoping maybe the whole 'keys under the visor' cliché plays out." Tara ignored him as she looked to Mike, who was still only blindly looking off into space.
"They have to..." she repeated as she walked to a nearby office. The door was locked but the window on it was easy enough to break through to get the latch. She still wanted to believe the others would come back for them, but just in case, perhaps the vehicle keys would be stored inside this office.
"We can't leave him," Mike said as he made for the door. "No!" Tara cried out "He was bit, or he thought he was. He held those things off enough for us to duck in here." Mike wore a distressed look as he sighed. "What about Brandon and Rhett?" he asked. "They made it," Matt answered "They got the generator running and made a bee line for the labs.
