Free Suicide Run (The Infected Book 5) by Justin Gowland

her dad did but not where the oil rig is. Rosa has been there a few times with her dad.”
    “Does she know exactly which oil rig? Because there are quite a few out there.” Mike said.
    Amy nodded and reached inside her jacket and pulled out a sheet of paper with some numbers and letters on it.
    “She gave me this before we left to come and find Marc.” She said, handing it to Chris.
    He looked down at it and said “Its coordinates. This must be where the oil rig is in the North Sea. When were you going to tell us that you had these?”
    “I was hoping to convince Marc to come back to the Bunker. But I realize now that the only way that I can keep him safe is to go with him.” Amy replied with a flash of something behind her eyes.
    Everyone went silent and I caught a few glances directed toward me from the other couch. The thing was, Amy had knocked me sideways with her little announcement just as much as she had the others.
    It was then that a scruffy looking puppy wandered into the room. We all heard Spirit issue a growl from low in her chest. I looked over at her and saw she had her ears laid back against her head with a snarl on her long mouth.
    “Spirit, stop that!” I said.
    She stopped and cast a look toward me that could have only been called hostile. The pup had his long bushy tail between his legs and skirted round the room toward where David was sitting. David leaned over the side of the couch and lifted the pup onto his lap. Spirit issued a huff and walked over to Amy and sat down at her feet.
    “Right, back to what we were talking about.” Chris said.
    I looked over and asked “So you knew all about Rosa and her father?”
    She sighed “Yes, but she was frightened that you and the others would kick her and Tom out of the Bunker because of it.”
    I felt my face slowly redden. I had to admit that back then I probably would have kicked them both out on their butts, but with everything that had happened lately, I probably wouldn’t have. Human life had slowly become the most important thing on the face of the planet and any loss would be that step closer to it ending.
    I rubbed my chin with my hand before saying “I might have in the past, but with the way things are now, I don’t know.”
    “Well, I would have.” Chris said, his face red with anger.
    “No you wouldn’t have.” David said with a small smile.
    Chris squirmed on the couch “Ok! Maybe not, but I would have kept a better eye on them.”
    “We are getting off track here. We are going to have to decide if what Rosa has given us is reliable or not.” Mike said as he scratched the pups head.
    Amy stood up and said “Well, I believe it. Rosa came to me after she found out what had happened at the ship. She was in tears. Rosa couldn’t believe that her father was behind all of this. That’s when she told me of the oil rig and other places around the country that her father’s company owned, but she was adamant that the oil rig would be where the company would be.”
    “I have to admit that would be the best choice seeing as the country is swarming with the infected.” David said, nodding his head.
     
     

Chapter Eleven
     
    Amy walked over and poured another cup of coffee before returning back to her place on the couch. Taking a long gulp of my coffee, I looked over our little group.
    “So taking out an oil rig is going to a little harder than a ship.” I said, putting the cup down on the coffee table.
    The pup jumped down from David’s lap and slowly padded toward Spirit. She lifted her head and looked at him and let out a small growl. The pup probably didn’t have much sense because he kept going. Spirit decided to pretend that he wasn’t there and lowered her head again.
    “Look, what we need to decide on is if it is worth carrying on.” Mike said.
    “Look, I already…” before I could finish there was a small yelp. The pup had got a little too close to Spirit and got a small nip to his side. He shot back to where
