Steve, Mike, Jimmy, and Aefe moved in a tight one-two-one cover formation with Jimmy on point and Aefe being screened by Mike and Steve. After Aefe bound Mike's wounds and Steve put Jimmy down, they had a quick conference to decide how best to proceed.
It was Jimmy who noticed the usefulness of the vehicles parked in front of the funeral home. "Steve, if I could get that Ford F-100 Series moving, we'd be able to get Mike back quicker."
Steve considered a moment, scanning the nearby area for more zombies, and listening to the continuing screams over his earpiece. "How long would it take you to get it up and running without keys?"
Jimmy shrugged. "Couple minutes."
Aefe put in, "Less if I helped."
Steve's eyebrows went up. "You know how to hotwire a... Never mind. Great. Do it. Mike how about you and I stand guard from on top of the cab while they do it?"
Mike hefted his flamethrower with one hand and nodded. "Any zombies show up, they'll be flame-broiled. Well done."
They all dropped into a jog to get there quicker, Steve and Mike clambering onto the roof of the cab while Jimmy produced a slimjim and helped Aefe in. She slid over while he produced a screwdriver and stuck it in the ignition, popping the ignition column, removing a locking bit, and popping it back in.
He grinned at her as he turned the key-fob without any key and the truck roared to life. He banged on the roof and slid open the rear window. "Better get in the back. We're moving."
He waited until he heard the thump-thump on the roof, then he took off, following Steve's directions to pick up the wounded of Teams One and Three.
They arrived just in time...
