Topic > Breaking the Ice - 898

We gathered supplies and ammo from the attic and headed towards the truck. Amber insisted on driving, Eve headed to the back seat, and I grabbed the shotgun. We drove a couple of miles without anyone saying a word, still thinking about what happened recently. We came to an intersection with a sign pointing east. Richard and Phillips Gas and Snack 3.4 miles ahead. We began heading east on a dusty, desolate trail lined with ditches that ran between two corn fields. I took in our surroundings and began to think about the wisdom of driving on the open road after dark. “We should probably camp at the gas station up ahead.” I said trying to break the ice. Amber looks in the rearview mirror and notices Eve reading a magazine that was surprisingly in readable condition. “What do you have there, Eva?” asks Amber. “672 ways to look cute in spring, flat abs and a nice butt, how I lost weight fast.” Eve looked up for a moment "It must be nice to just care about your appearance." I looked up and laughed "Well, when there are no zombies trying to eat, society can afford to worry about superficial things." "Shallow? Oh, like when you helped me out at Syracuse because you thought I was hot?" "Um?!" Amber looked back at Eve who had a smirk on her face. “Yes, mostly what Leo said is correct, except Leo Zombie Apocalypse or not, he still cares about physical appearance even though his clothes are dirty and he hasn't taken a bath, I don't know how long time." Clearly fooled by Amber's response I decided to turn on the radio which only played static. Determined to stop the conversation, I turned on the CD player hoping that whoever this car was still had a CD in it. I pushed the game into Rob Zombie Dragula started playing. Normally any musi... middle of paper... Look guys, I know Isamu asked you to take me back to Zion but you two aren't obligated to that, like I said, I can handle myself." "You're frozen twice at the warehouse , you can stop being a tough guy" "Hey, fuck you, if it wasn't for Amber your ass would be dead!" "You fucking brat!" "Hey you two, stop it now! We must work together if any of us are going to make it to Zion alive! Now look, we all have our strengths and flaws, let's not criticize each other, okay?" Amber said, "Oh, and what flaws do I have, Ms. Lawyer Amber?!" "Well, for starters, you guys are really reckless." It doesn't matter" "Look guys we need to focus because we have to go through Philadelphia to get to Baltimore and the big city is no walk in the park." I looked at Amber and then looked at Eve again with her head between her knees." Let's get some sleep, hopefully we won't have any big problems when we get to Philadelphia."
