Respect for the Dead (Surviving the Dead book 1)
““ The thing is we need a plan. We need a base of operations, we need this place.” “Yes we do but I…I…you’re gonna be pissed.” Wes lowered his voice. Steve turned questioningly to him. “I found a way out. I’ve been out a few times. I…found a few things and have them hidden in one of the classrooms at the far end of the hall.” Wes finished speaking so low he was almost just moving his lips without sound by the end. He glanced around nervously as he spoke. Steve gapped at the younger man.... Millions of thought fought for dominance, anger, pride in his friend, disbelief that he would sneak out without telling him. “What the Fu….”
“Listen! I don’t trust this place. I want to be able get away if we have to and I don’t want to be unprepared. “ Wes cut in. “I know you and Mike think this place is safe, protected, but I don’t see it. I spend time in that tower too. I see how many more of them show up every day. Like I said we need to be prepared.” “I don’t remember you being a boy scout.” “Not a boy scout but I did go to camp two years in a row.” Wes smiled. “You learn to be resourceful.” “Yeah, I remember. You called Beth ever day.” Steve shot back, taking the smile from Wes’ face. “I just wanted to make sure she was ok. Ya know without me.” Wes grumbled. “Happiest two weeks of her life as I remember it.” Steve shrugged. Noting the look on Wes’ face he quickly amended. “Dude I’m kidding she waited for your calls. She was bored out of her mind without you around.” “She’s…I need to find her.” “We have to. She’s my sister you know.” “I know.” Wes nodded to Steve. “It’s just, we need to start thinking of where to look. I can cover a few blocks in each direction every day. You just need you to cover for me.” Wes suggested. “We’re not prisoners here. We can both…” Steve stopped as a man slowly walked by their pew. “Yeah I don’t know. When we first got here I would have believed you. Now…not so much.” Wes followed the shuffling man with his eyes. “I think the sooner we leave the better off we are going to be.” Steve raised his eyebrows to this statement. “Seriously, a city of the undead is safer than here?” “I know what they are capable of, the dead you know. I know what they want from me. People…not so much.” Wes shrugged.MoreLess
