Tina was busy loading the [url= https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/cf/92/60/cf926071c452860269ed4a22e0f52160.jpg]Blue Beast[/url] with the latest delivery of vegetable oil for her project well aware of all the eyes on her at the warehouse docks when her phone rang. She paused briefly to glance at the number an saw it was pop-pop her Grandfather an thought she'd finish loading before she called him back because she still had six five gallon bladders to go.

She had four to go when she received a text that read "March to the Sea" it was the family distress code so she jumped in the cab of the Beast and hit the family conference button linking it in through her in dash system.

She was instantly linked into the family server her brother the silicone peach tech executive maintained an the first window to open was his.

[b]"Looney! Are you okay?"[/b] said her third oldest brother and he looked really worked up.

Worried Tina asked
[color=ff66ff]"Sure, what the hell's going on; are you Liz an the twins okay?"[/color]

[b]The end times are here Looney, all hell's breaking loose and till rapture I'll preserve my family. We are headed to Arrowhead Mark, Kyle his wife an their kids ar....[/b] Her brother didn't stay in frame an Tina hear Liz his wife screaming then gunfire.

Tina cranked the Beast an while it idled put the sound on her PA speakers as she dove out of the cab an jumped up on the loading dock.

The dock workers grinned at her once more leering like the primates they were till the PA rang with more gunfire and Todd's wife's screams. Tina didn't go gentle with the last four five gallon plastic bladders slinging then into the bed of the Beast then slinging the Web gate across the tail to secure the load.

She jumped back into the cab an checked her gages before engaging the truck into gear. The huge 3/4 ton 4x4 didn't scream out of the docks but it was growling loudly through it's twin pipes like some angered bear.

On the dash screen two more windows opened along with Pop-pop's audio link and Tina was thankful for the family patriarch's calming presence. He told them that so long as Todd was firing an Liz yellin they was alive. Then they took head count of those on the conference and the ones the others had talked to already and that's when Todd popped back in frame.

[b]"We're okay but the harrowed souls almost got us. I'm leaving the server online so we can coordinate but Liz, the boys an I are headed for Arrowhead[b] said Todd clearly in a excited state as he jacked several brass 12 gage shells into his Italian gun.

Todd was referring to the Family enclave of nine cabins up on a point in Tacoa on lake Hartwell in the north east of Georgia. He had bought the land of the Corp of Engineers an the family had built log cabins on the 16 acre property, hell Tina's lot was still vacant but there waiting for her to build on it some day.

Most of the family thought of the Arrowhead as their private resort bur more religious an paranoid had thought of it the place that could mean safety in disaster and it gallery her they might have been right.

Suddenly she had to jam on the breaks as she came to the sight of clustered cars and what appeared a nightmare scene. There where people running from fangs of people that were attacking the frightened like rabid animals biting an tearing at their victims. 

Tina paused in driving long enough to pop the center console open and pull from it a model 1911 given to her by pop-pop and cock it then tuck two clips between her thighs. She'd always thought of the gun as a target pistol that she'd never have to use on another person but that was now a moot point.

She tapped the big blue Silverado into 4x4 just before shifting into reverse. And backing up an embankment and then driving back down onto the street. She knew she had to get back to her shop slash apartment and load her things that she knew she'd need into the truck bed and her MOBY1 off road trailer then head out into the desert where the Beast would give her the advantage of range and terrain.
