章 30: 30. Looking for Mario finding Hose

''His hideout is not well known. Many organizations tried to find him as he is quite wanted.'' Oliver pointed at the map. ''Here somewhere. To tell you the truth I am not quite sure as well. He hid well.''

Emma just started typing. She searched the streets overfilled with zombies that just arrived. Unfortunately, it seems his hideout was on the direct way of zombie tide. She looked for underground shelters, underground subways, lost or hidden plans of some secret labs. But all of them were empty.

Even the shelters were as it seems just raided by zombies. ''What happened here?''

Now she started scanning the street by street. Plans of the houses and their gardens, old antibomb shelters appeared in large numbers. Somewhere still connected to the radio and had some sort connection to the outside.

She found many families that gathered enough supplies to survive for moths the zombie tide in those shelters. One of the families asked in hope. ''If there is a chance to go there for us, would you accept us? We can survive until zombie tide ends but after that... Our resources are limited. Can we?''

Emma was happy to find more people to help, of course. ''Sure thing. Can you find a way to come to the border to our state? Our Helicopter can pick you up. Any further and our fuel might not be enough. Please understand.''

The man sighed. We will try to rush there. I have a jeep in my garage and enough gasoline. I installed the radio inside it as well, so if you could help us and lead our way so we can safely go there, we would be able to do so.''

''When the time comes, we will do our best. Try to get in contact with more people. We will try to send enough helicopters for everyone. And be careful when you go out. Not only zombies can spread the virus. Bugs and animals are not better.'' She was worried about their safety.

''I have here gear in case of the chemical attack. Will that be safe enough for me and my family?''

''It will be safe against bugs, but about animals, just use weapons if you have them. Kill as many zombie animals as you can. They are as bothersome as zombies.'' She wanted them to be alert all the time.

''We will be fine as long we don't leave jeep. I am an auto mechanic and crazy about the safety of my family, so I added a few things to it. Even if damn T-Rex attacks us he wouldn't be able to even scratch us, but if we fall in zombie tide or some hole... that would be quite bothersome.''

In the background you could hear bunch of children laughing and chatting.

''Sir I forgot to ask about your name.''

''My name is Hose Gomez. My wife's name is Maria and our children are Carlos, Alejandro, Raul, Santiago and Rodrigo. We have two beautiful girls as well as Morena and Guadalupe. Very pretty you know, just like their mother.'' You could literally hear smiles on his face when he recounted the whole team of people.

Emma was a bit jealous. After Una, she had no other children. But she stayed calm. ''Children are good. They are our future. Can you tell me how old are they?''

''16, 15, 13, 11 and 10. the girls are twins they are 8.'' He answered while recounting everything.

Emma was relieved. No babies. ''Now that is good. But in your case, the family has to fly in two helicopters. I hope your children listen to your words.''

''Yes, they are good children.''

''Can I speak with them, do you have a speaker?'' She could hear everyone getting quiet.

''Hello everyone. My name is Emma Thompson and we will try to get you to our shelter. But there are a few things you need to know. The zombies are extremely dangerous. Not like in zombie movies, I am talking really deadly. I am saying this as your father told me that you are all good children.'' They could hear her sigh.

''The moment you exit your shelter you will be under constant attack from something that could end your life. So you have to be fast but silent. Literally. When I tell you all to run I hope none of you will cry or something like that. If you do your whole family will die. Not kidding. Girls can you hear me. Come closer please.'' She could hear someone approaching the radio.

''You two are the youngest and girls. In world where man always acts tough, the girls always think they are weak. But we are not. Here even my daughter is training for future surviving. Show those brothers of yours that you are strong, maybe even stronger and smarter than them. Listen later to all I tell you so your family can survive. Don't show weakness, don't cry and definitely don't give up. As I will be there, watching you and protecting you. Ok?''

''Yes, mam.'' The girls answered simultaneously.

''Now boys come forth. Can you hear me.''

''We can.'' she could hear the older boy's voice.

''You are older than girls. Don't tease them and give them the strength to survive. Only that way everyone can survive. You need to support them and let them grow strong. That is the only way in this new crazy world. Now let me speak to your mother. ''

''Miss, I am here. '' Sweet and raspy voice answered from another side, making even Emma smile.

''I am a mother just like you. Please forgive me for giving them advice. But outside they have to be able to completely put their lives into my hands and listen to me by every corner. They need to do that to safely arrive here. I think they will love our shelter. We will give our best for the future and survival, so everyone needs to grow and become stronger. As a mother, I am sure you are already strong and fearless. So as a mother myself I ask you to trust me and put your lives into my hands.''

Everyone was silent as Maria answered. ''My family decided to follow your lead from start on. We will trust you. See you soon, miss Emma.''

''Yes see you all soon. I will let you know when to move. The latest in a week they will pass your town. As soon as tehy do I will contact you. In the time between train as much as you can in that space. You will need strength to run. Just in case something happens to the car, to the ride or some unexpected situation arrives. Please trust me on this.'' Emma spoke a bit longer with Hose and stopped.

''We still didn't find Mario but saving more lives is not a bad thing. Let me continue.'' She started typing and gathering information for a long time.

When Aisa saw her mother with glasses on her eyes and completely in her world she shook her head. ''It is impossible now to talk to her for a while. Please go home. When she finds more informations she will let you know. Now she is in her own world, impossible to speak to anyway.''

They left the house and Oliver just went to the commanding deck to take care of his duties while Sarah took children back to her apartment with smile. But as soon she entered the apartment her expression changed and became cold and distant. She put the children in bed and sat down on the computer and started writing...
