Free MZS: Philadelphia (Metropolitan Zombie Survivors Book 3) by K. D. McAdams Page B

body that I’m sure could be explained, but I’m not interested in the details.
    The whole group watches in silence as Todd walks to a couch near the low outer wall. He lays Jaden down gently and carefully positions his arms and legs. Delicately, Todd adjusts the flaps of skin and bone that remain so that the boy has some semblance of a head. It’s a disgusting and tender scene.
    Cupcake and Todd arrive back to the table at the same time. Cupcake hands Tucker the drink before picking up his own.
    I assume I am the sensitive one in this bunch of guys. We should say something about Jaden or acknowledge Todd’s actions. But words just don’t seem sufficient to convey what we are feeling.
    Todd stoops down and picks up his drink. With a purposeful stare, he looks at each of us for a long moment before moving on to the next person.
    “Viva,” he says, raising his glass.
    We all return his salute. “Viva.”

Chapter 1
    Last night, in Philadelphia, Tucker was in charge. He decided to get drunk and diligently pursued his mission. Whether we were disciples or lemmings, we followed him without question.
    Cupcake told us that the first round of drinks was called a “Motts.” A pint glass filled with ice and then three-quarters full of vodka, a splash of pineapple, and then a float of dark rum on top. By the time you struggle through the dark rum, the pineapple and vodka go down like water.
    Running through Liberty Bell Square, up and down stairs in the hotel, and fighting with zombies took more out of us than I realized. We wolfed down the plate of food Cupcake brought to the table and then proceeded to scavenge the rest of the bar for anything edible.
    The scene vaguely reminded me of Easter morning but without the jealousy. I can remember being so jealous of my brother when he found an egg and celebrated like he had scored a goal in the World Cup. When it was my turn, I would try to top his celebration and always desperately searched his face for any sign of jealousy.
    McLean was the first to strike gold when she found a bag of party mix. She let out a loud “whoop”—which we all scolded her for—and placed the party mix on top of the bar. We opened the bag roughly and we all shoveled handfuls into our mouths.
    Todd tried to join us but it took him two drinks before he was numb enough to move. As bad as I feel for him, I am more impressed with McLean. She still had Jaden’s blood on her face and bits of brain matter
