Suzy’s Strange Saga
Given that you’ve been attacked by military, as well as a bunch of cannibal freaks… well sticking around here is looking a lot less desirable now and Donna’s idea is looking a lot more enticing.
Plus if you were planning on ripping off this place and running off, this would be the best time to do it while everyone is a bit disarray and Mel and the better defenders of this place are gone.
“Okay Donna I’m with you on this, but we really gotta do this shit quick.” You say.
“Well of course. Like I said, you run over to our trailer and grab my bag and your own and rush back over. By the time you’re done, I should have found Jimmy’s keys and whatever else he’s got here that looks interesting.” Donna replies.
You and Donna nod at the agreement of this plan then you slip out of the trailer and try to keep a low profile. It really isn’t difficult since the few people walking around don’t even know you and seem to be busy cleaning up the dead freaks lying on the ground. You do spot Tina, however and deliberately avoid her since if anyone is going to attempt to hold you up for any reason, it would likely be her.
When you get to your trailer, you pack what items and clothing you can in your bags, zip ‘em up and then sling one over your shoulder then with your free hand you go into the bedroom and grab Tina’s bag.
You leave your trailer and try to make it over to Jimmy’s as quick as you can.
You get half way there and then you hear a familiar voice…
“Hey blondie! Knew you survived, where the hell ya been, there’s fuckin’ work to do. Need all the help we can moving these fuckin’ bodies.” Tina shouts.
You silently say “shit” to yourself and slowly turn around thinking up a lie that won’t attract too much suspicion, while at the same time is going to allow you avoid whatever work Tina had in mind for you.
“Oh hey Tina. I’ve been…um just trying to recover from that recent attack just like everyone else. It was all sort of discombobulating you know?” you say.
“Discom…what the fuck? Whatever, you don’t look hurt, so yer ass is needed to help move some bodies…and what’s with all the bags?” Tina asks.
“Well, my sister Donna…”
“Yeah where the fuck is Donna? She ain’t bit is she? Cause they put all those fuckers in a separate trailer. Even though I think they should just shoot the infected bastards. We all know how those movies go!” Tina interrupts.
“Uh, no. She’s fine. Well not fine…”
“Speak fucking plain blondie!”
“My sister isn’t hurt physically, but she hasn’t handled the recent attack very well…she’s a wreck actually. Hysterical one moment, silent shock the next. Took me awhile to calm her down. She says she’d feel safer staying with Jimmy Ray, so that’s why I got all these bags with her stuff. I’m taking them over there.”
“Donna broke down? Always thought she was miss cool, calm and collected and got over shit fairly quickly…hmmm, guess a few days sober in the face of brutal reality might break someone normally living in a drug, alcohol and sex fueled fantasy realm. I don’t remember her having all that shit. In fact aren’t some of those your bags?”
“Yeah, she never brought that many clothes and I figured she could borrow some of my stuff. Figured I’d let her choose while I continued to talk with her. I mean I can still help with body moving thing, but I just really need to go help my sister first.”
“(Sigh) Fine. No point in having a hysterical bitch making life miserable with bouts of screaming. Do what you need to do, but as soon as yer done, you help out with moving these bodies.”
“Got it. I’ll really try to be quick.” You say.
After parting company with Tina, you continue to head over to Jimmy’s as quick as you can where Donna is sitting on a chair waiting for you.
“Would’ve been quicker, but I had to talk my way out of moving dead bodies with Tina.” You say.
“It’s fine, here.” Donna says and takes her bag while thrusting a pistol into your hand. “It’s the only one I could find. You might as well take it, since you’re obviously more experienced with shooting than I am by now.”
“Well thanks I guess. You got the keys too I trust?”
“Yep, truck’s right next to this trailer. Though getting out isn’t going to be as quick as I’d like due to the way its parked, but we’ll just deal with that as it comes. You ready?”
“Let’s do it.”
You and Donna run out of the trailer and turn the corner where Jimmy’s truck is parked. Donna was right about how it’s parked. Somehow he managed to wedge it between his trailer and the neighboring one pretty good. Donna’s going to have to do a lot of reversing and forward driving to get it out, but you’re wondering if you’re going to have time for all that.
Throwing the bags in the back of the pick up, Donna gets into the driver’s seat and quickly unlocks the passenger sider before starting up the truck. DOesn’t take long before Donna’s bashing the hell out of the front end AND the back end of the truck against the trailers, attempting to get it out of it’s parking space.
It also doesn’t take long before several people hear this noise.
“HEY! THOSE TWO BITCHES ARE TRYING TO STEAL ONE OF OUR TRUCKS!” a voice shouts.
Several of the trailer park residents attempt to rush at the truck at first, but after you fire a few shots at them, they retreat and re-think that plan.
“Donna come on! We ain’t got much time before they go and get their guns and start firing back!” you shout.
“I know! I know! Fuck! Shit! This truck is really wedged in!” Donna shouts.
The scraping of metal and the continued destruction of the truck’s front end is in full force as Donna decides to just give the truck a hard turn in an attempt to escape. It works and you’re soon free, now you just have to drive out of the vicinity of the trailer park altogether because now bullets are damaging the truck.
“Shit!”
“Just get to the road Donna and drive west!” you shout.
“It should be just a little, oh fuck!” Donna shouts as suddenly hits one of the rednecks with the truck. In fact she ran right over her.
“Go! Go! Just fucking go!” you shout ducking your head down as another bullet breaks the back window.
Soon, Donna manages to get back on the road though there are a few more shots fired in your direction.
“Goddamnit, I think they hit the tires! This thing’s getting hard to control!” Donna shouts.
“Well we’re going to have to ride the rims, because we’re not out of danger yet.” You reply.
“Got that right bitch!” a voice suddenly says and then a large arm with a hook comes through the broken back window.
You’re startled enough by this unexpected event that you fumble with your pistol and drop it on the floor. As you scramble for the pistol, Donna screams and attempts to simultaneously keep control of the vehicle as well as not get impaled with a large metal object.
When you finally get the pistol, an elbow goes into your face and a hand tries to grab your weapon. Donna slams on the breaks, which causes this unwanted hitchhiker to lose her grip on you and fall backwards a bit though she manages to hang on by embedding her hook into the front seat of the truck. Still, it’s just enough time for you to gain the advantage.
You swing around to turn to your attacker and see an angry looking woman with a buzz cut before you shoot her. At this range you don’t miss and half of her face is blown off before she releases her grip from the hook and her body falls backwards towards the tail end of the truck bed.
“She’s dead, get us the hell outta here before the rest catch up!” you shout seeing a few people coming from the trailer park.
“Holy shit, who the hell was that and how the hell did she sneak into the truck bed?!” Donna says flooring the gas.
“Dunno, doesn’t matter, like I said, get us the hell outta here!”
Donna’s a little shaken up from all this, but keeps her cool and by the time you put a lot of distance between you and the trailer park she’s a lot calmer. Still, you’re concerned that someone is going to give chase in another vehicle.
“Fuck, that was intense.” Donna exclaims.
“Yeah, well I knew it wasn’t going to be easy when you suggested it.”
“Still, we did it though. When me and you work as a team we seem to overcome all odds.” Donna says in a slightly upbeat tone.
“Well so far things have worked in our favor. Sort of worried about how far we’re actually going to get in this truck though. We’ve got at least one damaged back tire and who knows if they’re going to pursue us in their own vehicles.” You say.
At this point you continue to look behind you to see if anyone is following, but happily you don’t see anyone. You and Donna don’t say much for the next few miles. Maybe it’s because neither of you really knows what’s going to come next. You’re in a rural area with a truck that may or may not be drivable for very long. Neither of you has any money or anything really to barter with if you needed to fix it in someway. Well there is ONE thing you both have, but you’re not exactly willing to do that. (Though you imagine it wouldn’t be a problem for your sister)
If anything, your mindset has gotten a bit on the darker side of things due to the past few days. If the world is indeed going the way of chaos, you’re starting to think why not embrace it? You have a gun, and so far you’ve come to the conclusion that they’ve been solving a lot of problems for you.
As you dwell on these thoughts, your sister suddenly speaks.
“Hey Suzy, there’s a group of tents up ahead. Looks almost like a circus or something. I thought I heard someone mention at the trailer park about one up this way. Should we stop and see if we can get help there?” Donna asks.
“Hmm, nah. We should keep going. We still need to put more distance between us and that damn trailer park. Besides, I doubt if a bunch of carnies is going to be much better than a bunch of rednecks.” You answer.
Donna nods and continues to drive. Leaving you to your thoughts, which are now starting to envision improving your situation by robbing some idiot of their belongings.
You turn the radio on in an attempt to find something to keep your mind occupied, but its mostly Ground Zero commercials. You get a few doomsday religious preachers too, which is even worse. You turn off the radio in dismay and return to your introspection until Donna speaks up again.
“Hey Suzy?” Donna asks.
“Yeah?” you reply.
“Do you think the world is going to end?”
“I dunno. Maybe. Though as far as I’m concerned, it already ended for me when I had to leave my basement.”
“Yeah…I suppose it would. Hey, if you want we could turn around and go home. You could take back your basement and shoot Kelly in the face.”
You chuckle a bit at that suggestion.
“That’s definitely a tempting idea. I think we’re better off driving into the unknown though. Like you said, when we work as a team, it somehow works out for us.” You say which Donna returns your sentiment with a smile.
Eventually the day starts turning to night and you start to get tired. The stress of the day has finally caught up with you. Surprisingly Donna’s still alert. So far the truck hasn’t given any problems though you know you’re riding on a flat (or at least low) back tire by this point.
You honestly don’t know what you’re going to do next, but for now you’re going to try to get some rest as you drift off to sleep…
Plus if you were planning on ripping off this place and running off, this would be the best time to do it while everyone is a bit disarray and Mel and the better defenders of this place are gone.
“Okay Donna I’m with you on this, but we really gotta do this shit quick.” You say.
