Outbreak The Beginning (The Outbreak Series Book 1) Read Online Free Page B

pit bulls always coming over. It wasn’t safe for my animals. They are only little Chihuahuas. I open the truck door. Hank grabs my arm, I look up.
    “Listen Egypt, maybe I need to stay with you, I don’t feel right about leaving you.”
    “Hank, you need to get to mom. I’ll be ok. You have trained me well in case of emergencies.” I can tell that he’s struggling with what he should do.
    Finally he shakes his head. “Damn it Egypt, keep your phone on you and you have my spare 9mm. And damn it you shoot those things if they come near you, even if their kids. You hear me?”
    “Yes Hank, I will be safe, I’ll call when I have the boys.”
    I jump out of the truck, running into the garage. I hop in my 4x4 SUV. Putting the keys into the ignition, starting it, I look up. Shaking my head, I laugh to myself, Hank’s waiting for me to pull out. He backs up. I put the SUV into gear and start to go forward. As I leave the garage I hit the button to close the garage door. Hank’s well on his way down the road by then. I pull out, turning left to head to the school. I click the button to close the gate. Looking in my rear view mirror, I make sure it closes.
    I gun the gas and head down the road to the school. Forty-five miles an hour isn’t going to cut it so I accelerate to eighty-five. I see Hank pull into the driveway to their house. Wow, driving this fast on this road is horrible, they really need to fix this road. Yeah, who am I kidding, they sure aren’t going to fix anything anymore. Coming up to the stop sign I turn right and there’s traffic on this street they are all headed to the school or so it seems. There’s no traffic going the other way.
    As I drive down Duck Creek Rd I hear sirens, a lot of them, maybe they are going to the school too. Passing some of the houses, I notice some are boarded up. Wow, that’s weird, why would they be doing …I know the answer to that? They are trying to keep people out. Hitting the gas a bit harder I get to the end of the road. Damn I’m third in line to turn. I shoot a text to Nate telling him I’m ten min’s away and I’ll honk like crazy to let him know I’m there.
    Finally it’s my turn. I make the turn but someone shoots right out in front of me. I swerve, to miss them. Looking out my rear view mirror, I see it’s a kid with blood all over them. Shit, I almost nailed him. Rubbing the back of my neck, I need to get a grip. I have to get to the school, fetch my boys, get home and get the house ready. I don’t think this is going to go away. I think this is going to be how it will be for the rest of our lives. I just have this feeling in my gut and I’m usually never wrong.
    There’s the school. Oh holy shit it’s a cluster fuck. There’s cars everywhere, parked all other the place, they are even driving on the grass people are running every which way. There’s kids running and screaming, some are covered in blood. Some are huddled on the ground, crying and holding what looks to be their entrails from spilling out. Worse still are the people and kids eating them, shaking I wipe a tear from my eyes. I can’t believe this is happening. I know we all liked to joke about something like this. And yes, I thought it would be really cool but I was so wrong, so very wrong.
    I hit the gas and race around the building with a screech as kids are grabbing hold of my SUV and begging me to stop. I can’t, I have to get to my boys. I turn the corner around the building. And I see where I need to be but there are those things all over the place. Grabbing the gun on the seat next to me, I pull up and start beeping my horn. Laying on it. I look to the building where my boys should be coming out at. I jump out of my SUV. I stand with my gun up and ready to shoot. Shit, aiming my gun, I start hitting anyone in the way of that door. All that matters is my kids are safe. One of them starts running straight at me. I aim and shoot right to the heart, it jerks and keeps coming.
