Chapter 11: Reunion
Elmira Clamp was a well-mannered woman who ran the library in the mall. Every week, she and her friends, Earl, Gordon, and Linda, would lock up the library meet up to discuss a new book that they all read. It was their very own book club. That night on June 24th, however, their book club did not go as planned. When the chaos broke out, Elmira looked through the glass doors of the library to see people running and screaming everywhere. Right in front of the door to the library was a man slouched over, covered in blood. He was dead.

"Get behind the counter," she ordered her friends.

"Wh-what is going on?" Linda asked.

"Just do it!"

Slowly Elmira opened the door to peek outside. Everyone was running everywhere. Suddenly the 'dead' man reached and grabbed her by the leg. She fell to the ground and kicked him in the face with her heel, got up, ran inside, and pulled down the gates to the library. She panted as she wiped the blood from her dress. "What is happening?" she thought to herself. She thought about her husband and her daughter before retreating behind the counter with her friends.

"What did you see out there?" Gordon asked after a few minutes.

"I'm not sure," Elmira answered.

"Well what did it seem like?"

"I said I'm not sure."

"Can't you tell us anything?!" Earl said in a panicky tone.

"No, Linda, calm down, everything will be fine." Elmira said to her friend as she shook in fear.

"Y-yeah. I h-hope so."

Hours later, Elmira sat thinking about her family while her friends talked amongst themselves when suddenly there was a bang on the door. "Stay put," Elmira ordered as she got up, an encylopedia in her hand. She walked from behind the counter to see a man and a woman banging on the door. The woman had red eyes and red hair. A tattoo on her face. The man had light blue hair. They were yelling to be let in. Elmira walked up to the glass to see the area around them empty. She decided not to let them in and walked back to the counter.

"What is wrong with you?! Let them in!" Earl yelled.

"Stay put!"

"I thought you were a good woman Elmira! I suppose I was wrong!" Earl responded as he ran to unlock the gate and open the door. Elmira stood with Gordon and Linda behind her and watched.

"You guys are safe now, it's okay!" Earl said as he greeted the pair.

"Thank you so much!" the man said.

"You saved our lives!" the woman yelled.

Earl turned to face his friends. "See, it's all go-!" And with that the woman pulled him out of the store. The man came toward the three at the counter until Elmira began flinging books at him. One book hit him hard in the head causing a bloody cut. He fell back.

"Svetlana, they aren't worth it. Take the one we have and let's go."

"Good job saying my name, Raphael. I'll take this one back. Go to the boutique.

The trio just watched the pair leave until Elmira ran to bring the gate down again.

"Wh-what do you think they want with him?"

"I don't know, but it can't be good."

"W-we should've tried to help him."

"There was nothing we could've done."

Elmira just listened to her friends' conversation until an idea came in her head. The radio.

~

Elmira searched for nearly two hours until she found a radio her husband had given her just in case. She tuned the frequency.

"Hello? Is anybody there?"

"Elmira?!" Elmira breathed a sigh of relief

"Justice?! Thank heavens you're alright! Is Barney okay?!"

"Yes, he's fine. And so is Mira. They thought you were gone!"

"We're still in the the library. I remembered the extra comm Barney made me keep for security. Can you please take it to my family?"

"Yes, one second."

"Elmira?"

"Mom?!" both her husband's and her daughter's voices came from the radio.

"I'm safe. Honey I'm okay."

"We're going to get you mom!"

"Are you alone?"

"I'm with Gordon and Linda."

"Earl?"

"He was taken by these people. I don't understand what's going on."

"Zombies."

"What?"

"It's true, mom.

"Elmira, we're going to send troops to extract you guys. Just hold tight. I love you."

"I love you also, mom."

"I love you both." And she put down the radio.

~

Elmira, Gordon, and Linda decided it be best to read until they were greeted by the troops. The trip back to the bunker was slightly terrifying, but they were safe now. When she reached the bunker, she was greeted by her family. It felt amazing. She was approached by Derek.

"The man. Who took your friend. What color was his hair?"

"Blue. Why?"

"He took my aunt."

"I'm so sorry. I'm not sure how helpful this information will be, but his name is Raphael. He was with a woman named Svetlana. She sounded Russian.

"Russian?" Jenny exclaimed as she began typing fast on the computer.

"I'm sorry, I will give you all the information you need later, but right now I'd like to spend time with my family."

"I got all I need, thanks."

Elmira exchanged stories with her family and decided she would never be apart from them again.
