door! Digging in my pocket I grab the code and read it. It’s 8472, I keep repeating it. We run, slamming into the door. I punch the code in.
    “Nate, hurry they’re coming back this way. Shit, shit come on damn it, open up.”
    I reenter the code and hear the bolt sliding. Opening the door, I run in with Liam and Mr. Hutch behind me. Mr. Hutch slams the door closed and I fall to the floor, breathing hard. I pull my phone out of my pocket. “I have to text mom what’s going on.” 
        I start typing  MOM had a change of plans couldn’t make it to front doors we will be in woodshop, we’re safe for now, locked in the room you have to come around back to the shop doors, and mom we love you. I hit send and look around me. Liam is looking out the door at what’s going and Mr. Hutch, is leaning on the wall. He’s holding his side.
    “Mr. Hutch what’s wrong are you hurt?” I ask.
    “I’ll be ok Nate, it’s just a scratch. Are you boys OK?”
    “I’m fine Mr. Hutch, just sore and freaked out,” says Liam.”
    “I’m good too, what’s going on here, this was just supposed be the flu, not this? People are going crazy and they are eating each other, on top of all that they are getting up after they are dead or look dead and doing the same stuff,” I say.
      Mr. Hutch runs his hands through his hair and says, “Nate, Liam, I think this is what is going on in China and everywhere else for that matter. I think that this is going to spread fast, very fast. I think you need to get home, hamper down and wait it out.”
    My phone buzzes and I grab it, opening it up to read the text that came in. Nate, I’ll be there in 15 minutes, Hank is dropping me off at home to get the SUV. He’s going home to make sure Mimi is safe. Stay where you are and be safe it’s crazy out here. Love you boys. I’m coming for you, no matter what…
    “I just heard from mom, she’s coming and told us to sit tight.” Thinking to myself, I know she will, there isn’t anything that could or would stop my mom coming to get us. She’s a hard woman, not crazy, I don’t mean that but when her mind is set on something nothing can change what she will do or can do…..

Chapter 5
     
     
     
    Driving on the way back from where that poor guy was getting eaten, well at least that’s what it looked like, I knew we were waist deep in a zombie movie. What are we going to do? I mean this really can’t be happening. Looking over at Hank, he’s sure not acting himself, I wonder what he’s thinking, probably thinking the same as me. Shaking my head, I look out the window of the truck. It looks like every other day, I mean the wind’s blowing softly, the grass is green. Some yards are cut others are not, a few look like hay fields. I wonder if those people are sick, or if they know what’s going on? Have they seen what we just witnessed?
    I glance back to Hank. “Hank, what are we going to do, stay in our homes until this passes?”
    “Hell yes, I would think that would be the best thing to do don’t go around helping others, just stay indoors.”
    “Honestly Hank, I don’t think this is going away. What Nate said in his text message was the ones getting bit were getting up and attacking everyone else!” 
    “I hope you’re wrong Egypt. That would be very bad. How could we even survive?”
    We’re getting closer to home. We have to hurry up. I need to get my boys. We turn on Berlin Station Rd. I look around. Damn the second house on the left is on fire.
    “Hank, that house is on fire!!!!”
    “Gotta help them.” 
    He starts to pull over and I scream at him, “We can’t Hank, I need to get the boys, Tabitha is coming over and you need to get to mom.”
    He hesitates but pushes on the gas. We go down the dip that is so familiar to me, we are almost to my house. I reach into my purse and grab my gate and garage clicker. I hit the first one to open the twelve foot gate. I had to get this installed because of the neighbor’s
