Summary:
“You going somewhere, Gerard?” Frank asked from where he’d sneaked up behind Gerard. Gerard stifled a groan. “I’ll come with you! Someone’s gotta stop you being eaten. Mikey’s all right, but he can barely tell one end of a rifle from the other.”
“Mikey’s staying here.”
“The hell I am!”
Gerard looked at Bob for help, but Bob simply looked back and said evenly, “I’m coming too.”
Gerard backed away from an argument he realised he couldn’t win, and focused on Frank who might be more easily - well, not reasoned with, but browbeaten into submission.
“Don’t say it!” said Frank before he could open his mouth. “And if you try to leave without me, I’ll just follow you. You know I’ll do it.”
Gerard didn't want to drag his friends into the zombie apocalypse, but it was nice not to have to face everything alone.
I owe huge thanks to
girlmaraudersfor betaing this for me. She went through everything with a fine toothed comb, and is made of at least eleven different types of awesome. Any remaining mistakes are mine.
