Zombies for Christmas

By Keira Kroft

Part 4

There were no windows in the underground dwelling. Sure there was every comfort of home; electricity, beds, running water, wine and most importantly…Hershey bars. Raven hugged Bailey and Mia, tightly. “I will catch up with you as soon as I get to the bottom of this Summit thing.”

“You look like shit,” Bailey was kind enough to mention.

“I know, I couldn’t sleep at all.” Raven slumped in a stool at the kitchen counter.

“Well, we slept like a couple of babies, didn’t we, Mia?”

The little girl nodded and continued to fill a green recyclable plastic bag with food.

“Thank you so much for letting Mia and I stay here.” Bailey was always so polite, where else where they going to be? Raven would never put her best friend out in the street. She would give her own life for Bailey and Mia. They were all she had left.

“Mommy, can I have a candy bar to take with us on our trip?”

“I’m sorry sweetheart. I love you too much to give you one of Raven’s candy bars.” Bailey said looking serious.

“Don’t be ridiculous Bailey, of course Mia can have a candy bar,” Raven chuckled. “There are numerous kinds in the food pantry. There are Snickers, Butterfingers and Kit-Kats, I saw them last night. Seriously, Mia, take whatever food or candy that you want.”

Mia giggled and went straight to the special closet made for Raven.

“No, no, no, no little girl, not that room, auuughhhh.”

“Hey, you only need one.” Bailey and Raven said in unison and hugged.

“Now this is man’s dream come true, two women hugging,” said Schmitty. “You think I could get the two of you to kiss? Hmmm. A chestnut haired angel and a tall, large breasted Latin goddess. Yumm.”

“Mommy what are breasts?”

Raven laughed. “Nice,” Raven made the ‘okay sign’ with her thumb and fingers.

“Quiet Latin goddess,” Bailey scolded, playfully. “And thank you Schmitty, thank you very much.” Bailey rolled her eyes at him and smiled.

“You’re welcome,” he smirked and blew her kisses, it was kind of cute.

“Schmitty is fine, but actually it’s Simon Schmidt.”

“Doctor Schmidt,” Raven flushed.

“You’ve come the closest anyone ever has to come to curing cancer, along with your partner Dr. Michael Sum—

“Ahhhh crap.” Summit was so annoying she forget how prominent he was to the world.

“Mia! What are doing?” Raven looked down, at the bag Mia was filling. It looked heavy and she was grunting, and dragging the bag.

“Nothing,” she replied.

“Mia, what’s in that bag?” Bailey demanded.

Raven headed toward the bag that was now moving.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Mia burst into tears.

Raven bent down, carefully opening the bag. Her heart stopped beating when Catman jumped out at her. She scooped him up, “It’s okay buddy.” Raven rubbed the soft fur.

“Mia, where you trying to take Catman?” Raven asked.

“Yes,” she shouted, tears rolling down her hot sweaty cheeks. “You’re gonna stay here and you’re gonna die and no one will be able take care of him,” Mia said, then tried to bolt, but was intercepted by her mother.

“Young lady, I don’t care what’s going on you apologize to Raven and we never, ever steal, let alone someone’s pet,” Bailey explained in a not so calm tone.

“May I?” Raven asked.

“Of course,” Bailey replied, lifting Mia up toward Raven.

Raven took Mia over to the counter and set her down. “Look sweetie, I am not going to die. And you are more than welcome to take Catman. I know you will take such good care of him, really,” Raven wiped Mia’s tears.

“I knew you’d cave, you women always fold like a cheap tent.” Schmitty finally weighing in. “My wife caved in to a child’s smile up until the day she died.”

Bailey took his hand and locked her eyes on his, “I am so sorry. Why did she die?”

Mia jumped off the kitchen counter, clapping and dancing. “You hear that Catman? You are coming with me!” She looked so adorable.

“Enough about me,” Schmitty said, “Let’s talk about Summit. I saw the two of you in the kitchen last night, you looked pretty cozy.”

“Oh, yeah?” Bailey said with the Cheshire grin on her face.

“He’s a good guy. You two would make a great couple.”

“If he’s such a great guy, then maybe you can tell me why he caused the end of the world,” Raven snapped.

“He didn’t! He told you that, that he’s responsible? That damn kid. He needs a kick in the head, I saw you yesterday, Xena the warrior princess. Maybe you can deliver him a swift boot to the brain,” he said looking directly at Bailey. “Look, the government came to him and asked him to make a drug you could use with food that would kill off our enemies. It had to be instant, painless. And the stupid kid bought it. I mean for an award winning scientist that was pretty dumb. Why would they ask him to basically make a painless rat poison? But the zombie deal wasn’t part of it and killing off the American population wasn’t supposed to be, either.”

“Oh, that’s probably why he had that fake English accent, so no one would know that he was American,” Bailey chimed in.

“Exactly! He didn’t want it to look like he was defending America, and he is in disguise.” He opened the fridge taking out a bottle of water. “We are in a lot of trouble, by trying to put a stop to this. But it might not be the end of the world,” he said, snapping the top of the refreshment. “It only affects the ones that ate turkey or get bit. So we have to do what we can.” Schmitty took a swig of the water.” He seemed calm, but he had a few hours more than Raven did to get used to all of this.”

“The turkey, that’s why we are okay.” Bailey sighed, with relief.

“And me? Why does he need me?” Raven asked.

“You’ll have to ask him. Here’s the address where we will be,” Schmitty said, handing Raven a piece of paper. “We will be safe at the government facility, along with the little girl and cat too.”

“Come here, Mia, give me a hug.” Bailey joined in their embrace.

“We love you Raven. We will see you soon, right?”

“Yes and if you feel like you are in trouble, you come back here. If you need somewhere safe, anytime, this will always be your place to go, okay?”

*****

“I talked to Schmitty…” Raven leaned against the door frame.

Summit sat up at the end of the bed, in nothing but a pair of unbuttoned jeans.

Raven sat next to him, looking him in, the most beautiful eyes, she ever saw. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were double crossed and this wasn’t your fault?”

“Because, the truth is, that it is my fault,” he shouted. Raven rubbed his shoulder. “If I hadn’t agreed to make the agent in the first place…”

The sincerity on his face and the pain in his voice broke her heart. She wanted to hold him and make it all better. Raven examined his soft light blue eyes, spotting remorse and she believed that he had a soft heart. She placed her lips to his.

The kisses were soft and gentle at first, then they became so deep, she felt them in her heart. With her lips never leaving his, she climbed on his lap facing him. His muscular arms on her back sent shivers up and down her spine. Her body ached. They hadn’t even known each other a day, should they be doing this? Why not, the place is empty, and safe. She hadn’t felt safer in her life. And that was hot!

“I want you,” he said, kissing the long of her neck as she pressed her bosom to his rock hard chest. His gaze held hers, his eyes darkened with pure desire.

“I have never met anyone like you, Raven.”

She laughed. Did he really use a cliché right now?

“Raven I mean it. You’re strong and so beautiful,” he moved back to admire her. “Look at that bronze cleavage, your perfect. And those breast. What are you, like a size D or something?”

“Actually that would be a double D,” she smiled.

“That’s what I am talking about.” He buried his head in her bosom. Her body quivered with anticipation,

“Are, are you sure? We haven’t even been on a date, just last night you hated me.” No I think love you, I need you.

“Oh yeah,” she said pulling her white cotton t-shirt off over her head revealing her purple lace push-up bra. “But Raven, we have to talk about this,”

She pushed him down on the bed and pinned down his arms, her eyes locked on his, “This could be the end of the world, so you can talk about it, or you can enjoy this.” Please don’t ask me if I am sure again. “I want you Summit.” She examined his eyes for an answer. “I want you more than chocolate. In fact, I would give up every candy bar in the world, just for this moment right now.”

Summit chuckled, “And I would give you, every candy bar, you ever wanted. I will spend the rest of my life finding them for you, if I have to fight ten zombies to get it. I would because that’s how much he you mean to me.”

After they enjoyed each other’s company. Raven curled up next to him.

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him, “This is the best Christmas sex I have ever had,” he laughed.

“Oh, no,” Raven sat up.

He gently massaged her back, “Are you okay? You know I was just teasing right?”

Raven sighed, “I forgot it was Christmas. I didn’t say anything to Mia or give her any presents.”

“Come here,” he said pulling her back down. “I think they forgot too. Bailey would have said something before they left”

“I am sure you are right, I would like to have wished them a Merry Christmas, though.”

“You can,” he leaned over the bed and pulled an iPhone out of his pants. He dialed Schmitty, and handed Raven the phone. “Just ask him if you can talk to her.” She grasped the phone and listened to it ring.

“They must be busy, there is no answer,” she said, shutting it off and handing it to him.

“I’m sorry we will try again later, okay?”

He looked at her with those gentle eyes, “They are okay. I am sure of it. He kissed her gently on the head and Raven lay in his arms until they drifted to sleep.

*****

Summit woke up to the sound of his cellphone ringing. A shadow swept past the doorway. He wiped the sleep from his eyes, looking at the bedside clock it was 3am. “Hello,” he said and then just listened. Although Schmitty’s words were clear, Summit wanted so badly to deny them. He pressed his cell phone to his chest and gently woke Raven, “Sweetie, it’s Schmitty.”

“Oh, good how are my girls? Are thy safe,” she rolled over wide awake and smiled.

He shook his head, pulling her to his chest. “Bailey was bit.” Raven shot straight up to a standing position, grabbing the phone off his chest.

“Hello, who is this?” Raven went sheet white as she heard the rest of what Schmitty had to say.

“She became one of those things and he had to shoot her,” Raven blurted and burst into tears, shoving the phone into Summit’s hand.

“Hey man, I know this is bad time, but I thought you might want to check the place. I am not sure if I closed that book case right and there was some vermin hanging out there this morning.” But Schmitty was hard to hear, because Ravens soft weeping elevated into sheer wailing.

He felt her pain dig at his heart. “I am so sorry, honey. I’m sorry,” he said, wrapping himself around her. Summit was surprised that tears were falling from his eyes and that he was so overwrought with emotion. He’d never been before. But then, he never saw the woman he loved in such pain before, either. In fact, he never even came close to love before.

There was a clatter from the hallway. Summit looked at the doorway, and there was one of them, just standing there, quiet. He didn’t know that they knew how to be silent, this was a tricky one. If he hadn’t seen it with his own two eyes, he wouldn’t have known that it was there. It was wearing the remnants of a pin striped suit, his tie wrapped around his head.

“Raven”, he nudged her.

“Leave me alone.” She shoved his hand away from her.

“Raven—”

“Raven you don’t understand. Dammit, woman, look.” He gently lifted her head so that she could see the creature that had them trapped…

Tomorrow on “Zombies for Christmas”

Raven finds out why Summit came looking for her in the first place. And she also starts to have suspicions about Bailey’s so called, death.
