You remind yourself that Emma is the top priority, so you climb on to the hood of a silver Lexus on the corner. You dial Emma's cell phone number and receive a busy signal. You try several more times and finally it starts to ring.

"Hello?"

"Emma, it's me! Where are you?"

"Victor zombie, I can barely hear you."

Emma's voice fades and you hear, "I can't hear him, but I think it's Victor zombie."

"Emma, can you hear me at all? Where are you?!" you yell.

"Victor zombie, if you can hear me, I'm at my friend Heather's house. She's on 10th Street and Holland Avenue. 1027 Holland. If you can hear me, meet me there as soon as you can. Be careful—the army is taking everyone off the street."

The line goes dead.

10th and Holland is roughly five miles away. You have several options for traveling to Emma.
