ko ko didn't even hear the commotion behind her as she walked home. it wasn't far, only 5 blocks, but it seemed to stretch forever.
she turned into the driveway and stared into the still open garage. alice's fully built and finally restored 1996 land cruiser sat in it's usual spot next to the empty space where ko ko's land cruiser usually was. ko ko walked up the driveway, into the garage, and prompty sat in alice's truck. she stared at the steering wheel. the events that had just occurred only now began to play back in her head.
what eric had said seemed to be true. but what did it mean? something about cannibals and biting and rabies, who knows. but it seemed to her that what it did mean was she was going to need his help. and some more guns. she got out of the truck and looked in the gun safe. crap, they're all in the pig. she'd left all her favorite ones in her truck, which was still at the hospital, where eric was. ko ko grabbed a couple extra guns for eric and placed them in a drawer in the back of alice's truck. it took two trips to empty out the ammo stocks and place them in the truck too. then she hopped into the drivers seat and drove back to the hospital
