Waste
We Need More Vehicles
I stayed up half the night just looking out the window and hoping the sun would be up soo so we could get going to Nevada but it seemed like nothing could make the time go faster. I got up from my bed and walked downstairs where Jimmy was taking the watch near the window. I took a seat next to him and stared out the window as he looked through the binoculars.
"Couldn't sleep?"
"No. Those messages from my father are filling my mind with curiousity." I said rubbing my face. Jimmy put the binoculars back on the table and turned to me.
"I'm sure we'll all figure this out once we get to Nevada. By the way...why are we going to Nevada? I didn't get a chance to ask Matt about it."
"The last message I found at the beach said that he had spent a long time as a scientist and during this outbreak of the dead plaguing the nation, the military had called him in, since he was the most intellegant of all the scientists they could find, to try and find a cure for the disease." I explained as Jimmy looked at me intently.
"Did he?"
"After a long time...he did but they never got the chance to do whatever they had to do because the place was getting over- run. He said all the other science techs and military personel were killed and he barely escaped with his life. He wrote down the formula and wants us to go to Area 51 to get the next note that will inform us what to do." I explained as I quoted the words from the letter.
"Interesting. I've always wondered what the place looks like and I guess I'll be getting the chance to now."
"Yeah but we need to be on guard in case we need to defend ourselves. Violently if necessary." I said and he nodded. I got up from my seat and went over to the front door opening it and stepping out onto the porch. The moon illuminated the entire area and I grazed my vision over to the vehicles that were packed and ready to go by the time the sun is up. I turned and went back into the house where Jimmy looked over.
"I think we need more vehicles." I said leaning against the wall as I lit up a cigarette.
"How do you figure?"
"My truck bed is so packed up that if I needed to get to my machine gun, I would have to throw everything out just to get to it. How about we get out of here and go to the little dealership up the road and get us 2 more cars?" I asked and he nodded. I flicked my cigarette out into the yard and shut the front door. I went to the back where Dante, and Jacob were standing guard.
"Jacob can you take Jimmy's place up front please?" I asked and he nodded before leaving us.
"Jimmy and I will be back in a few minutes so keep an eye out for anything."
"Where are you 2 going?" Dante asked turning to look at me.
"I figure that we needed 2 more vehicles so we could store some of the things that are in the back of my truck."
"Good idea. I'll be here when you 2 get back and please be careful." he said smiling.
"I'm always careful." I laughed before leaving him to continue his watch. I walked up the stairs and grabbed my boots and quickly laced them up. I wrapped myself in belts and grabbed my machine gun and keys from the dresser before going back downstairs where Jimmy was patiently waiting. Jacob was sitting in the chair at the window as we went into the garage. We grabbed 4 gas cans a peice and headed down the road. I kept my eyes and ears open to any sound that may come from the dead. We came into the dealership parking lot where dozens of cars were just left.
"What are you thinking about getting?" Jimmy asked and that's when I seen it. I smiled and pointed to the black 2012 Dogde Challenger sitting there gleaming in he moonlight. Jimmy followed me into the building and we searched through the keys until I found the right one. I popped open the trunk and it was spacious. It would hold a lot of the things that are strapped down in the back of my truck. I got into the front seat and turned over the switch to see how much gas was in it. Only a half a tank. I shrugged and turned it off and pulled the key from the switch. I grabbed a can of gass and poured it into the tank and checked it again. It was now full.
"You can pick out a car now Jimbo." I said and he smiled wildly before picking a Cherry Red 2012 Chevy Camaro. My mom would die if she seen this car. It was one of her favorite cars when they came out and she wanted one so bad but she couldn't afford it. I filled his tank for him and he cranked the engine and it sounded so damn good! He popped the trunk from the inside and placed the gas tanks inside before shutting the trunk.
"Meet me at the entrance of the lot." I said and he nodded before backing up the Camaro and driving away. I ran back to my car and got into the driver's seat. I cranked that baby up and it roared with so much life. I smiled to myself and backed the car out of the space and met up with Jimmy at the entrance. I nodded to him and he followed me back to the house.
Once we were home, I loaded all the boxes into the trunk and put some extra ammo and gas into the floor board in the back seat. I can only imagine what my sister is going to say when she wakes up in the moring and sees these 2 new cars. I hope I won't be hearing her yelling and shit.
