After traveling through streets filled with those skin eating freaks, they finally came to a large neighborhood of expensive looking homes that appeared to be void of death. "We are almost there." Brooke told Gaven. Soon after, Brooke turned the big truck into the drive way of Trent's house and was happy to see no crazies in the direct area. However; the door to Trent's house was wide open and as soon as she and Gaven closed the truck doors; Trent and his sister (with no arm) both came running out the door. Brooke was stunned in place by the shock of seeing her friends like this. Lucky for her Gaven didn't have the same shock and jump/slid over the hood of the truck (like some sort of super hero) and popped Trent in the head using his pistol and sliced his sister's head at the same time using his sword.
"What are you; secret service or something? How did you do that so quickly?"
"I just reacted, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you like that!"
"It's ok, let get inside!" Brooke said and then headed for the door.
"Wait, what if there are more?"
"Trent's parents are out of town, there probably aren't any more on the inside, but if we stand out here much longer there might be more that come from the neighboring houses!"
"Ok, let's go then!" Gaven said and followed behind Brooke just close enough to be able to watch her body movements. How intriguing he thought, she moves like a military assassin/model combo and for some reason this turned him on.
They entered the house and didn't hear or see any crazies, so Brooke ran to close the door behind to make sure none followed them in.
"Now, if there are any on the outside, we don't have to worry about them getting in. Trent's dad had this house built like a fucking fort! So, we are safe here for now. Let's find Natasha and Henry, I remember she said they were hiding out in the basement."
Brooke sprinted towards the iron door of the basement. She didn't want to make a lot of noise so instead of yelling through the door, she pulled out her cell to call Natasha.
"Brooke, what's up? Are you almost here? I heard a gunshot, so you better hurry!"
"We are actually right outside the basement door, the gun shot was us, I didn't want to make any more noise than needed or I would have just yelled through the door."
As she was saying this, she heard the footsteps running up the stair case and the locks turning. The door had 5 locks on it. She hung up when the door swung open and Natasha threw her arms around her.
"Sorry to interrupt your oh so happy reunion, but where is Henry? Gaven said.
"Down stairs, and who are you?" Natasha replied.
Gaven just stepped passed them without answering Natasha's question.
"He is Henry's hot ass cousin!" Brooke said making sure he was far enough down the stairs so he couldn't hear her. "Which I meet while hiding in the mall safely during the night!"
"How strange that you would actually run into a member of Henry's family!"
"I know what you're thinking; but, he's legit, promise! And he's really good with a gun!"
"So it seems, and he's pretty good with you as well!"
Both girls giggled together for a few moments before they started hearing the scratching at the door. They quickly turned and went back down to the basement to alert Gaven and Henry of the noises.
"Well, it can't be Trent or his sister, because I'm pretty sure I took them out. Must be some of the neighbors." Gaven said. Henry did some signing, which neither Brooke nor Natasha understood, but thank goodness for Gaven. "Yeah, I got you a sword buddy, don't worry. I got your covered. The problem is most of the gear is still in the truck."
"OMG, that's right! We forgot to grab all the stuff before we came in!" Brooke said.
"What do we do now?" Natasha asked.
"It's ok, leave this to Henry and I. There can't be that many out there. Doesn't this house have a garage? Maybe after Henry and I clear things out one of your girls can open the garage and we can pull the truck inside."
"OMG, you are so awesome! That's an fantastic idea!" Brooke said and followed up with "I'll open the garage for you guys!"
Natasha looked at both of them and said "I don't want Henry going out there!"
Henry started signing to Gaven in which he began interrupting "Natasha, you have nothing to worry about. I've been attending military camp every summer for the past five years with Gaven. I'll be fine, and I love you!"
With that Gaven handed the sword to Henry and the two of them headed up the stairs and began discussing the strategy for getting to the truck.
Brooke just looked at Natasha with wide eyes and Natasha said "I'll explain later, let's just go help them get the truck in the garage!"
The girls then followed the guys up the stairs to find Gaven talking away and Henry signing at the same time.
"How can you two get anything done if you're talking and signing at the same time?"
"Don't worry we got our plan all made out, we looked out the window and there are only about four of them outside right now. So, this is easy pickings! Give us just a few minutes to kill them all and when you hear the truck start up you can open the garage for us."
"Um, ok, sounds like a plan then." Brooke said.
"Ok, but both of you be very careful out there!" Natasha said.
They guys headed out the door; Gaven with his pistol and Henry with his sword. When they first opened the door the crazies were to the left. So they headed straight to get them to follow them so the girls would have enough time to get the door closed behind them. Then they headed right for them, Henry swinging his sword like an expert swordsman from a 18th century war hero movie! Gaven popping off bullets as if he were an expert marks man in World War II or something. They made it to the truck with excellent timing, and Brooke was already in the garage ready to hit the garage door opener. And into the garage they came with the big red truck. Brooke hit the button again to close the garage and the guys got out of the truck and the girls running to hug them. Brooke to Gaven and Natasha to Henry!
"Ok, you boys have some explaining to do! What's this military camp thing? And why didn't you tell me about this when we first meet, Gaven!" Brooke said to them both with her smirky sexy smile!
"Ok, but I'm starving. Can we find something to eat first and then I'll explain everything? Promise!" Gaven said as he was heading back into the house out of the garage. Henry and the girls followed him
"The kitchen is this way." Natasha said. "Follow me and we'll find plenty to eat."
Brooke and Natasha made sandwiches for everyone while the boys found some beers. "Hey, we aren't old enough for that!" Brooke said. "Do you think it really matters now? I mean come on, Brooke!"
"Yeah, Brooke, let's have some fun!" Natasha added.
So, they all settled down in the living room of Trent's house to eat sandwiches and have a few beers; while Gaven webbed the stories of military camp for the last five summers with Henry.
"Well, it's starting to get late and I'm not sleeping on the basement floor again." Natasha said as she got up to head upstairs. "Henry, are you coming?"
Henry nodded and got up and followed Natasha upstairs.
"What is going on between those two?" Gaven asked Brooke. "I'm not sure, she hasn't had time to explain it to me yet." Brooke replied.
"So, what's next on the plan? Didn't you want to go get your car? I guess we can do that in the morning; because Natasha is right, it is getting late."
Before he knew it Brooke was on him kissing him and he didn't want to stop her! Without even thinking, he swooped her up and carried up over to the coach and continued kissing her, but then she stopped him. "Wait, I need to know something!" Brooke said. "Are you just doing this because you're drunk?"
"No! Now can I please kiss you, it's really nice!?" Gaven pulled her close to him and began kissing her again! She kissed him back, forgetting all the bad things that had happened in the last few days. Gaven soon swooped her up and carried her upstairs and they found an empty bed room to sleep in. "I wonder what Henry and Natasha are doing?" Brooke said. "I'm not sure if I want to know!" Gaven replied. "If I know my girl; and I do, cause we are best friends. Then they are just lying there staring at each other." "Sounds like fun, you want to try it?" "Sure" and they lay down on the bed and Brooke stared into Gaven's sexy blue eyes and he stared back into her beautiful hazel green eyes thinking to himself how nice it was to have her here with him right now while all the bad things where going on around them.
"Oh, before we leave in the morning we should take some of the weapons from the basement. Trent's father was in the military and still has a lot of useful stuff around down there." Brooke said and then yawned. "You seem tired, let's try to get some rest now." Gaven said. And the both closed their eyes and slipped off in to sleep...
