showing signs of slight tremors still and looking like she was going to puke any minute. Alex rolled her eyes and bit back her sarcasm.
“Maggie, stay put.” She spoke tiresomely.
They waited for no response as they turned and walked towards the mess.
“How long till she snaps?” Petey asked coming up behind her.
Alex didn’t know what to say at first. She could answer with the truth or something less mean and more comforting. Taking a look at her friend she knew she could say what was really on her mind. He would think no less of her for that.
“Doesn’t matter. If she can keep it together for a couple of days, she’ll be somebody else’s problem soon.” She admitted.
“Couple of days?” Petey stopped in his tracks. “Really think it’s going to take that long?” He spoke nervously.
Alex turned her attention back to her friend and leaned in close. As if she was whispering a secret that only he was supposed to hear.
“Look around. Think this will be the only problem we’ll run into? She rubbed her face again. “Plus I told you about those things I saw.”
She turned away and looked back at the cars, hands on her hips. Petey didn’t move the chill of her words ran down his spine. Alex told him about the things that attacked her and Charlie but she appeared almost unfazed by it. She hadn’t stopped working, she hadn’t stopped moving or doing something. She kept going, so really how terrifying could they really be if she had such little reaction to them? Even with Charlie’s death.
“Maybe we can just hot wire another car or something. Instead of dealing with all this.” She waved her hand at the mess.
Petey passed her and kicked a flatten tire of a pickup truck and tapped a part of the bumper that hadn’t meshed with another car. Alex took a second to look around again, folding her arms on top of her head. She watched as he touched various parts of different cars revealing what was most likely the aftermath of a very bad accident. The cars were banged up, flatten tires, shattered windows and bent frames. Some were worse than others and others looked like they had been mildly dinged.
“I can do it. We can take a chance starting up another car ahead of all this mess but the car we do have works and has a good amount of gas.” Petey pushed off a truck and circled Alex. “Then again with your luck, taking a chance might not be the best idea.”
“What do you think we should do?” She ignored the teasing.
Crossing her arms she waited for his answer. His lips tightened as he looked around weighing the options at hand. Getting a new car would save them some time. However they had no way of knowing the conditions of the other cars. Up head the cars may be ten times worse. They didn’t know the damage of the car they were in now either. Probably keys in the other cars unless people took them out in habit. In truth it was 50/50 shot with any car they were in. All the windows were blown in by god knows what else was broken inside them.
“I think…” He began. “We should go up ahead and maybe find another car.”
“Okay, let’s do it.” She complied.
They walked forward looking into car after car trying to find one with keys or at least something that looked promising.
“If you can find something in red, that would be nice. Always wanted a red car or blue but like a Tardis blue not like a blue-blue.” Alex gave shout out of a beat up red truck.
Petey shook his head but didn’t fight the smile that bloomed on his face as he moved towards silver coup. He swung it open not prepared to fall as quickly on his ass as he did when something came at him. He screamed at the sight of soulless blue eyes at they stared into and the thing just stood above him, ready to eat. He shuffled on the ground trying to distance himself but there was no point.
Alex ran to her friend’s rescue grabbing the monster by its shoulder’s from behind. She dragged it like a sack of potatoes a reasonable
