From the sides of the road we were getting some interest, but they were too slow to react. We veered right, away from the road that led to the motorway, then turned into a street. We could now see the secondary school of Fair Oak. However, there was a small problem. Three zombies were shambling along the perimeter of the school's fence; the entrance gates were reasonably clear, but we saw what happened with the house. If these things saw us go in, they'd hang around, attracting more of them over the hours and days, until the wiry fence collapsed with the weight of the potential crowd that could show up. We needed to get rid of them. "Hang back," I said to the girls. "Ooh, ye such a hero," Kelly mocked. "Look, this isn't time for Women's Lib; I'm the only one with a weapon, otherwise I'd be more than happy for you to join in." "Can't we just climb the gates?" Kelly moaned.
