OH shit!” Connor raged putting
his hands on his head and looking up, Lewis walked over to the table and picked
up the piece of paper, “wait bro, look it’s a note” Lewis said holding up the
paper, “ well, what does it say?” Connor asked, “well it says, ‘we have your
baby, he’s safe, we are heading for meilleville city, it’s said to have a safe
place where people can live, If you wish to have your baby that’s where he’ll be” Lewis looked at Connor
puzzled, “meilleville?, that’s French aint it?” he asked, “why you asking me?,
and do you actually think there is a safe place there?”, Lewis put the note in
his pocket, “I have no idea, but we might as well go check it out, we’ve got
nothing better to do” he sighed as he walked over towards the newsagents,
“where are you going?” Connor asked holding out his arms, “to see if I can find
out where this place is” Lewis replied
without turning around, “but Herbie’s already got a map?” Connor asked running
up to him, “yeah but I doubt meilleville is its real name it’s probably some
nickname or somethin’, and it won’t say that on the map”, “good thinking”
Connor replied following Lewis up the end aisle of the newsagents, he found a
stand that had lots of brochures and leaflets in, “see anything with
meilleville on it?” Lewis asked
flicking through the leaflets, “nope... oh wait look” Connor replied picking up
an orange leaflet, “it says ‘come to meilleville (wonder land) the city of jaw
dropping sights’, it must be some sort of zombie free zone if it’s true” Connor
continued pointing at a picture of a large building and a theme park, “turn it
over a sec” Lewis said pointing to corner of the leaflet, Connor turned it over
and there was a map on the back, above the map it read ‘located off the end of
the motorway, continue to port seldom’, “I knew it wasn’t its real name” Lewis
said reading the maps directions carefully, “well where are we?” Connor said
still staring at the map, “great, if we don’t know where we are how the bloody
hell are we supposed to find out how to get there?” Lewis
said putting his one arm on his hip and his other rubbing his eyes, “well,
let’s just get back to the others and sort it out then shall we?” Connor said
picking up another one of the meilleville leaflets and putting it in his
pocket, “yeah, come on then fathead” Lewis sighed turning around, “was there
any need for the insult” Connor asked catching up to him. Lewis
and Connor got back to the yellow sports car and both jumped over the driver’s
door and into their seats, Lewis
started up the car and reversed back out of the service’s and continued down
the motorway back towards the group. Lewis and Connor saw the large fuel tank
of the petrol station from about 100 feet away, “this beauty could do with
filling up, so I’ll fill it up and petrol can or two and you go and check out
the shop” Lewis said as he approached the turning into the petrol station,
“okay, you want anything?” Connor asked, “Nahh I’m good bro, just get some
stuff that will be useful” Lewis continued as he parked the car, both boys
leapt out of the car, Lewis looked around to see if he could find a gas
canister, he checked behind other parked cars before standing still and
scratching his head, “of course I can’t find any, nothings never that easy” He
muttered to himself, Connor walked into the small square shop, and opened the
door hearing a small bell ring above him, he looked to his left were he could
see a large refrigerator with lots of baguettes and sandwiches stacked in it,
he continued to walk straight past it and turned left to walk down a short
aisle with assorted sweets and chocolates either side of him, he walked down to
the counter were there was a old square cash register in the middle, he looked
over the counter to see a large collection of glass bottled filled with
alcohol, he reached his hand over to grab a bottle, “don’t mind if I do” he
said smiling to himself, but before he grabbed it he looked down to see a trail
of blood leading towards a door on the opposite side of the shop, the door was
slightly open, Connor went to go and check it out but he remembered Lewis’ wise
words from Herbie’s house to never go anywhere alone, so he slowly walked back
towards the exit, he noticed to his right a small shelf on the floor with gas
canisters, tyre irons and fuel cans, He picked up two orange gas cans and
slowly exited the shop without opening the door wide enough for the bell to
ring, “hey Lew, here ya go mate” he said passing the fuel cans to Lewis who was
filling up the sports car, he turned around “oh I was looking for those
everywhere” he said taking the cans, “yeah I was just at the counter, and I
noticed a large trail of blood leading into another room, you wanna check it
out?” Connor asked pointing over his shoulder to the shop with his thumb, “yeah
okay give me a sec’ to fill these up” Lewis replied pulling the nozzle out of
the sports car into one of the cans, a few seconds past and Lewis picked up the
two full cans of petrol into the boot of the car, when both boys could hear a
bell ringing, they both turned their heads to the shop door where two undead
men slowly walked out, both boys ducked down behind the back of the car out of
view of the two undead men, “shit! What do we do now?” Connor asked poking his
head over the car to see the two men slowly walking out the door, “we don’t
have enough time to start the car and put the roof down they’ll have us in no
time” Lewis said with a puzzled look, the both boys were left stranded behind
the car only within 30 feet of two undead men.
