Surviving Zombies One Day At Time - Volume 1 Chapter 9 Real Reasons
She stopped in the middle of the road between buildings and every single zombie cleared the was and started walking further away. After a few hundred meters away they stopped. Suddenly she had a tiny idea and cut herself. A drop of blood she smeared on her building door and then rushed to his building and did the same.
When Mike came out he couldn’t see not even one zombie in his shooting range. He looked at her with strange eyes but seeing her shrugging he just gave up the idea to even ask.
They jumped into their cars and started driving. She chooses to sit in an open cabriolet and drive alone before them.
Luckily, this is not the multimillion town. It had not even half a million people living in it. But the town itself was in this case luckily small.
It took them just a mere hour to come to the other side. And that only because some streets were clogged with empty vehicles.
Mike picked up a few trucks on his way and planned to harvest a few stores on their way back.
This time he sat in her car. As it seems with few drips of her blood those things would mice away long before they arrive. So she used her blood to smear on their bodies some and on their vehicles.
This time he was driving with a frown on his face. “I don’t care if you think that you are OK. You just cut yourself and spilled a bunch of your blood. Sit still now. You said it yourself. Who knows when it will stop being this way. Better be ready to run in case it wears off.”
She realized that she felt too powerful forgetting that things can change soon. So she just nodded and silently waited to arrive near Mina’s home.
Even before they arrived in her neighborhood she called then.
This time it was Mina on the phone. “Jenny, we have been worried about you. We tried to call you but it was always busy. That gave us the assurance that you are at least alive.”
Jenny just sighed. “Mina, I will explain everything later. I’m close to your house with a bunch of people I know. We came to save you. I will bring you to the apartment under my level. It’s safer there. I will help you get all the things you need. Get out its safe for now and let us do this fast”.
Not long afterward she could see them coming out the house and Mina rushing to her to hug her. Her grandfather just patted her and showed them the way to the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Jenny got a hug from Mina’s mom and grandmother as well and urged them. ” Listen, if there is anything that us important in this house, take it with you. Cloths, pictures, personal items, all. After this, I don’t know when will you be able to come back.”
The women just nodded and went inside taking just a few moments later few carriers in their hands. They saw her surprised expression and smiled.
“You know we were planning to go to our new apartment. We bought one apartment in your building while ago, but I wanted to surprise you. Now we can just transfer our personal items inside, as its anyway completely furnished.” Mina calmly explained while looking at Jenny’s flabbergasted expression.
Jenny usually had quite a calm face. No matter what she would rarely change her expression, so it was fun to make her do that. Just like now.
This time Jenny was not just stunned, she was happy as well. “What floor?”
“Eighteenth. Actually your grandmother offered us that apartment a long time ago, but until my husband’s insurance wasn’t paid off we had not enough money to do do.” Mina’s mom explained.
Few months ago her husband died in a strange car crash and they got insurance money. Before Jenny’s grandmother died a few weeks ago, she called them and fave them a good price. Last few weeks they didn’t tell her as she went through trouble with her parents.
Jenny stopped suddenly. Today she is really having a strange day. “What are you talking about? My grandmother hand only one apartment…”
Mina had no idea as well and looked at her mom questioningly. ”Mom, tell her if you know more.”
She took Jenny’s hands and sat her on a nearby bench. ”Actually, your grandmother made changes in her the inheritance she wanted to pass. I actually went to court two days ago and got you something that I wanted to give you for your birthday. there is a reason why your parents were dead set to take over that apartment. Inside was the property lest on your name. Before her death she gave you all her properties to you. just the money and the house on another side of the continent she gave your parents as she didn’t want them to leech off you. Their only way to keep the inheritance was to stay away from you and never ask you for any money.”
Jenny felt a bit dizzy. ”Wait a second. you mean that the building…”
Mina’s grandmother Leah Choi patted her hand and nodded. ”You are the owner of the whole building. She told us in case those two people try to get you out of the building we should tell you about the papers. But we should at least wait until she dies. Sorry, it was the promise we made that we couldn’t speak off it. Luckily my daughter in law was clear about your arents intentions and cleared everything on the court.”
”Is that the reason why they hated me? I mean I am their child.” But then saw grandmother shook her head.
”You are the same blood, but not their child.” She sighed while explaining. ”Your grandfather had outside woman. Your adoptive father was from that marriage. Your grandmother had a son and he died while flying with your mother to some convention. They were doctors without borders. They loved humanitarian work. But at that time they went to a dangerous country and left you with your grandmother for a couple of days. Unfortunately, a missile shot them down and they died, leaving you alone. Your last grandfather’s wish was to let you grow up in a normal family so he brought his son and daughter in law that just lost a child to raise you. If he knew what kind of people they would become, I think he wouldn’t even think about that. jenny, now set yourself free of those people. And start living a free life.”
Even if this was not a moment to feel touched, she felt that way and started crying. Something washed over her and she suddenly felt free. From all the grief. Out her became something shiny as she closed her eyes smilingly and spread few miles in the surrounding.
