Michael and Emma lay motionless on the floor of thenot to ain There were still hundreds of them nearby - the survivors could sense their closeness - but their interest in the vehicle and its occupants finally see and rocking of the motorhooing to do now?&039; Emma asked, her voice the quietest of anxious whispers &039;Don&039;t see we&039;ve got much choice,&039; Michael replied, equally quietly &039;Those soldiers seemed to just disappear We have to be close

Their base must be here somewhere&039; &039;How are we supposed to find it? We&039;re not exactly going to be able to get up and go walking around outside, are we?&039; &039;We don&039;t have to We&039;ll just wait here and&039;

&039;Wait here and what? Just keep hiding on the floor with a bloody blanket over our heads? For God&039;s sake, how are we suppose to?&039; &039;So what else do we do?&039; he hissed, interrupting her &039;Do you want ine what that&039;s going to do to those bloody animals around us&039; Emma didn&039;t answer Instead she buried her head in hands and did her best to hide all the desperate e trapped in the attic room in the farmhouse from which they&039;d recently fled had she felt such fear and hopelessness Just when she thought their situation couldn&039;t get any worse, they had taken another fall Their options appeared to be siested or risk everything by trying to get away Unable to contain her feelings, she began to sob Instinctively Michael shuffled closer and wrapped his aret out of this, you know,&039; he whispered, his voice softer and his face just inches from hers &039;Trust me We&039;ll find a way to&039;

&039;How?&039; she pleaded &039;How can we?&039; Although she hadn&039;t seen a crowd of this size for the best part of teeks, she knew that one body would invariably attract the attention of another and, therefore, a hundred bodies would attract a thousand ether and waited et out of this,&039; he said again, doing his best to reassure her when it was obvious that he was far from sure himself

&039;I swear those soldiers are still close Their base was always going to be difficult to find, wasn&039;t it? They&039;re going to have to coain sooner or later and then we&039;ll&039; &039;I think we should just give this up as a bad idea,&039; Ehed dejectedly She looked deep into Michael&039;s eyes and, for ahim just how empty and hollow she felt She had trusted him and he had let her down This had been his idea

She&039;d wanted to be ely cheated, almost betrayed even &039;What?&039; he ive this up as a bad idea,&039; she repeated She stopped speaking momentarily as the motorhome shook Another body had collided with the thin metal wall a short distance frole, apparently random collision and the sound it created drew more of the obnoxious cadavers back to the vehicle Seconds later and the air was filled with a deafening clattering again

Not seeardless &039;I think we should wait for a while and then just get the hell out of here We were doing okay back at the farmhouse, weren&039;t we? We&039;ll find soain, I&039;h this? There arearound this country and they&039;re not about to start leaving us alone now, are they? And eren&039;t doing okay back at the farmhouse, because if e&039;d still be there noouldn&039;t we? Accept it, noto be snapping at our heels constantly&039; &039;Yes, but&039;

&039;But nothing Look, I&039;m sorry this hasn&039;t worked out, I still think it will I just need to stop running for a while, Em I&039;m tired&039; &039;And you really think these soldiers are just going to open their arht for a&039;Yes&039;
