Darryl backed up his partner. “Citizens should find a safe location and shelter in place,” he said. He left his feelings towards Daytrippers unspoken. Dawn scowled.
“There aren’t any safe places left. This is the end of The City. And it might be the end of the world if we don’t boot this guy!” The police drew their own guns. “You will stand down or be booted.” There was a cry from farther up the hill. The zombies were coming. “I will count to three. One. Two.” Ingmar fired first. Darryl and Victoria were already booted before Connie returned fire.

The Daytrippers reached the Beach House at just about the same time as the cops did. Traveling on foot had reduced their numbers, even with Dorothy’s traps and the Cat Lady’s spies. The original group of fifteen was down to eleven, but they had managed to protect Ingmar and his boot gun. Victoria practically jumped out of the swat van when she saw them.
“Where did you get that weapon?” she demanded. Ingmar froze. Dawn stepped in.
“That’s not important. The CEO is the cause of the virus.”
“This is a police matter,” Victoria growled. “You will stand down, now!”
