Bab 26: Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apoc (Part 2)

"Come on man! stop stalling!" Carter whined out as he looked over at Ben. For the past thirty minutes the two were having a back and forth as Ben was dragging his feet.

"I don't know, this is a big night for Augie, he's getting his Condor badge. To bail would be..." Ben petered out as he pulled off next to Carter's home. "He would never forgive us, man, we would be losing our friend."

"Alright, hear me out" Carter started, "we go to the camp out, celebrate till Rogers and Augie pass out, then we ditch and take the first step of our new lives." He then looked back to the three new scouts who were all on their phones, giving the two privacy. "your three are game to come with right, cause you know... I kind of hinted that you would come, and I don't want to lie to Jeff."

"Sure, but why don't you just bring Augie with us?" Akane said as she skimmed through the local stores for clothes. Logan and Leah nodded together to Akane's comment as Logan was memorizing the map of the town, and Leah was passing the time watching a video of cats and dogs being funny. Ben and Carter looked at one another before frowning and shaking their heads.

"No, that's just not a good idea" Carter said while Ben nodded.

"Yeah, we've known him since we were like six, and he's just not really a good fit for a party like this." Akane looked at the two with a raised brow and snorted.

"So, this is a well known and epic senior party right?" she asked and the guys nodded. "Great, that means like fucking, I don't know, over a hundred people are going to be there. People who are literally leaving the school at the end of the year. One weird friend isn't going to leave a bad impression on a bunch of drunk popular boys and girls, who aren't even around long enough to give a shit. I know we aren't friends or anything, but take it from the goth girl who already told you how to get some bitches.

Never throw out the friend who would die for you, for some fleeting popularity and a bit of drunken snatch. Plus, and not to sound like a bully, but from what I've seen of Augie tells me he would get the girl over you guys most of the time." Ben and Carter looked affronted at that but Akane held up a hand to stall any words. "Like I said before, guys who know what they're about are hotter than those who seem fake, and you two trying to fit in instead of being yourselves is some fake shit."

"Agreed, the best kind of relationship you get from being fake is dating a girl who is just as fake," Leah said, not looking away from her phone. Akane smirked and threw a thumb at Leah who doubled up. The boys shut their mouths after that and looked at one another in question. Carter then jumped when an old woman knocked on his side window. Leah looked over and smiled before leaning over to Logan and whispered "Oh I loved her in raising hope."

"Me too, you into sitcoms?" Logan asked and Leah nodded happily.

"Yeah, they were really fun and great for, umm, well they were fun" she said before going back to her phone. Logan looked at her and then flicked his eyes to his wife. She was watching as well and nodded slightly. It would seem the back story of their new lover was an interesting one. The question now was when did the ice break and the girl trusted them enough to spill.

"Alright, Thanks. Yep. Can you just move right there? Yeah, thank you. Bye!" Carter said after being chewed out from his old cat lady neighbor. The whole car watched the woman leave. "God she is so Annoying!"

"Oh god, how many cats does she have!" Ben questioned as the neighbor opened her door and let a rather sickening amount of felines out.

"Is that a legal amount of animals for one home?" Logan questioned.

"Probably not, Hey I bet she smears fancy feast on her crotch and lets them go to town" Carter commented, making the two girls shiver.

"You probably have never owned a cat, so just know that their tongues are like sandpaper boys" Leah said trying to get that sensation out of her head.

"Well at that age it's probably the only way she can get off anymore" Carter said before looking at Ben. "Hey, Meet me here at 5:30 with the new scouts and then we'll all go to Camp Womp Womp."

"Actually we will meet you two here at 5:30, we live close by anyway" Logan said and Akane opened the door to let them all out. Carter hopped out as well and everyone left in a different direction. "We've got until five to get what we want, let's not waste time." Akane and Leah nodded and the three split off for their own wants.

Logan sighed and pushed his shopping cart through the supermarket grabbing some steaks, potatoes, onions, some beef concentrate, ect. as he planned to have a nice meal before the dash through the dead town. as he did he got a text from his phone and checked it with interest. He wondered if Akane and Leah needed him for anything, but when he saw that it was an unknown number he raised a brow. Opening it he raised his other one as Chloe had sent him a picture of herself in the mirror with nothing but a pair of white bra and panties on.

[Chloe: Hey, can't wait to see you at the party!]

[Logan: Wrong number] he texted back as it seemed she was texting her boyfriend, though given the movie he doubted it. When he got the next one with just her in panties on he realized she had somehow got his number.

[Chloe: Naw stud, saw you with the scouts and loved you in the uniform. Love to see you out of them tonight, here's the real address btw ********. Ditch the scouts and those girls and I'll show you a real good time!!!] she sent back and Logan visibly started to chuckle in the isle at the situation. He didn't know how this girl got his new phone number, and then was bold enough to sext him in the first text. When she said she could do better than Akane is what really made him laugh.

[Logan: Hey, looks like you've got competition] he sent Akane and Leah with the text chain attached.

[Akane: Bold move, I'll make sure to kill that bitch myself at the party tonight.] was his wife's response. Leah didn't text back anything for a solid thirty minutes before Logan's phone chimed. looking at it he found a pic of her on the hood of a jeep with only a dog collar on. A leash was attached and she was holding it as she struck a pinup pose that had him genuinely caught off guard for a moment.

[Leah: I don't play with just any other bitch in the park] was what she sent with the pic.

[Akane: Mmmh, seems like someone's a naughty girl. you better hope no one saw, cause you're just for us.] Akane immediately sent, making Logan smirk.

[Logan: we're bit of snobs when it comes to our pets, keep the Collar on Leah ] he sent back, knowing she wanted to be commanded. putting the phone away he continued shopping, unaware of his words actions on the two girls.

#####

Akane fist bumped at her husband's last text, finally seeing him embrace Leah a bit more. He had been treating her like a fling for a while now and she didn't want that. She was growing attached and from that bold pic, she knew Leah was trying to solidify herself more into the relationship. Seeing him demand the collar stays told her he accepted the push, and was opening up. she sent back a text doubling down on the command and then put her phone away as well.

"Again I'll state the girl was unexpected, but a great ice breaker for Logan" she said as she filled the bag with ammo. "Now It's just waiting for her to fully be embraced, and we can move on to number two...which I still wonder where it will come from." she said while closing up the bag and filling another with more ammo. "movie, anime, video game? I just don't know yet" she mumbled out as she filled this last bag. "Honestly I'll just have to wait for now, can't let Leah think she's just another drop in a bucket for us, as Logan is right in our snobbish nature for lovers. Oh well, better get out of here before you get a customer man. Thanks for already being dead!" she said while walking out of the store.

The store in question is an obvious gun store that she was about to rob not minutes ago. Yet when she walked in the clerk, and owner, was being chewed on by one of the early dead. A knife later and both the dead, and soon to be dead, were down for good and an open store for the taking. she grabbed the usual, shot guns, handguns, and a few automatics just in case. This was a needed emergency option given the intelligence of the dead in this movie. They planned to have fun and flail around with the scouts, enjoying the comedy more than they did in Shawn of the dead.

#####

Leah blushed while biting her lip softly at Logan's command. she had put back on her clothes but never went for the collar in the first place. She wasn't going to use it to challenge Logan a bit, as it was a clear show how she felt about the two, and wanted to state it without whining verbally about how she felt in the budding relationship. Yet, Logan cleared that up with just that simple text and now she just felt warm. taking a breath she shook off the butterflies and started her trek into the forest.

While they were going to let the movie play out normally for the most part, they wanted to save one character more than anything. So while the other two fucked around a bit she walked through the woods until finding the best trail she could. crouching down she saw footprints, dress shoes she judged, and a steady drip of blood for each fifth or sixth step. Nodding at the clear sign of the dead, she moved faster hoping to get there before it was too late.

The trail was haphazard and spiraled a few times back on itself, making Leah annoyed but she was trained enough to know where the freshest print led to. She sighed silently at that fact as memories were brought back up. Happy birthdays when she was young, fun picnics near the lake, her mom smiling. Then seeing her father's real face, his need for "tradition", and "being one with the land", hate the white man, bla bla bla. Sure, she loved her culture, loved the reservation, and had a lot of friends.

But after mom...left, and she became that man's outlet for his woes. Well, abuse can make one push away everything great for no real factual reason. Shaking off the bad times and remembering her therapy sessions after turning eighteen, and leaving him and her past behind, she simply used the old man's teaching to help her life now. She wasn't alone anymore, and that brought a calm she hadn't had in a long time. She internally laughed though as the collar rubbed at her neck, telling of the fetish born of growing up like a trained hunting dog.

A rustle of leaves not a few feet away told her she had found her prey. with a quick dash she shifted into the brush and found the dead researcher in wait for its next prey. it turned at her entrance and growled in hunger. Leah pulled her bowie and tensed as the thing lunged at her. she smiled as she needed to work off some deep seated aggression at the moment, and had a great target for it.
