The aftermath of Grant Regenauer’s off-camera violation of Mara hangs over the fortified truck stop, reduced to silence, disarray, and the sour stink of fuel. Grant, an athletic adult man with a weathered face and a scar across his left eye, pulls his gear tight.
Grant Regenauer
Everyone to the fuel court! Move with purpose, keep the lanes clear!
The outer gate shudders in its frame, jammed wide enough to leave a clean path inward. Beyond it, the first dead stumble through the morning haze, clothes dragging and mouths slack.
Grant Regenauer
Kanra, gate controls. Get that barrier moving now.
He raises a loaded rifle and keeps its sights trained on Mara while survivors hurry between parked trucks. A warning light blinks above the control shed, its casing cracked.
Grant Regenauer
Do not make me repeat myself. The dead are already inside the perimeter.

Mara raises her hands toward the breached gate. The air hardens with a deep cracking sound, and a thick wall surges upward across the fuel court.
The barrier seals the clean path inward, its rough surface locking into the pavement and climbing above the trucks. The first zombies collide with it and collapse back.
Grant Regenauer
Hold that line! Nobody crosses in front of Kanra!
More dead press against the wall from beyond the gate. The barrier withstands them, pinning several beneath its weight while others stumble away with broken limbs.
Grant Regenauer
Good. Keep the survivors behind the fuel pumps. Weapons up, but conserve ammunition.
The warning light continues to blink over the shed, but the immediate breach is sealed. Inside the court, survivors regain formation as the dead batter uselessly against stone.
