The End Of Life Chapter 54
Advertisement
David got tense as the people behind were shooting at the jeep. Mark noticed this and said, "Keep your eyes on the road, don't worry about the bullets." He was sure that the bullets will only give a small dent at most, hence didn't worry much. David only nodded at his words as he continued to drive. Daisy stayed under the seat, closing her ears with her hands and visibly shivering.
David kept driving, not caring what was on their way. He did not lower the speed even when 2 zombies came in front of the car and just ran over them. Mark checked the map and noticed they had to take a right and immediately turned the steering wheel to the right, taking a sharp turn.
As they drove ahead, the bullet's noise decreased and once they went over 500 meters, they finally relaxed a bit and Mark asked David to pull over. David complied and stopped the Jeep in an alleyway to stay clear, just in case. Mark finally exhaled in relief together with David and turned back to look at Daisy.
She was still shivering while holding her head and not knowing what to do. He looked at David and motioned him to see to it. David nodded and slowly turned around and tapped Daisy slowly saying, "It's alright Daisy. You can come out now."
Daisy slowly opened her eyes and noticed her dad looking at her. She slowly came out and looked around. After figuring out that they were now safe, she sat on the seat and her eyes were filled with tears. She was scared, so scared of what will happen to her if her father dies leaving her all alone in this world. She could only close her eyes and ears, hoping that they would be alright.

Seeing her watery eyes, David hugged her and tried to console her. Mark remained silent, looking at the map for the quickest route to his destination. Deciding to go on the smallest and quickest route, which will still take quite some time. His final goal was to reach there before sunset and by the looks of it, it will be a close call.
After deciding the route, he looked at the father-daughter pair and noticed Daisy calmed down. Noticing Mark's gaze, David turned around and Mark tapped on his wrist indicating the time was running out. He nodded and said to Daisy, "Ok now Daisy, try sleeping for a while again." And broke the hug. He turned back at and gripped the week tighter.
Mark showed him the map and explained to him the route. He told David to continue driving as he was about tired out already. David agreed to drive the rest of the day and once everyone was ready, he started the car and slowly came out of the alley. He continued the journey with Mark, looking out for any possibilities of traps.
As they continued to drive through the city, they eventually reached their destination. David exhaled in relief when Mark told the jeep to stop, as this time it went smoothly. Daisy woke up halfway there and sat quietly looking out. Mark had to get down and kill a few zombies in the way.
He encouraged David occasionally to get down and kill zombies using the gun he gave him. David could only man up and get down after listening to Mark. He was able to kill a few zombies, but not without wasting a few bullets, which Mark understood. Not everyone was like him. After gaining some experience from gun handling, David was more confident in shooting than before.

Now that they reached, Mark looked out of the window and noticed the sun was slowly going down. He checked the time and saw it was 6 in the evening. He turned towards David and said, "Ok, then let's get down." And opened the door. David motioned Daisy to the same before getting down.
Now that all of them got down, Mark looked at his destination, a flower shop with an apartment on top. Yes, he needed to be here to try to find the second most important person in his life at present after Kevin. It was another friend he held dearly to his heart, who stayed with him in his darkest times, Suzie Summer.
She was a kind and cute junior he met during the time he was still in school. The very persistent but kind junior helped him a lot. He came here because this was her family shop and lives here. If he wanted to find her, this would be the place. He looked around and found a few zombies in the street which was alright taking the fact that this area had a sparse population in the city.
He only hoped that she would be still alive. He looked at David and made his way into the shop.
As Mark was making his way into the shop, a man from the opposite building was looking at them with a pair of binoculars and an astounded face.
