“Are they walkers?” #zombie

In the silence, Deacon’s attention turns to Greg who is snapping his fingers.  Deacon creeps over to him, looking through his scope in the direction Greg is pointing, finding movement.  There are what appears to be two families moving towards them.  There is four adult males, two adult females, a younger male and two children, one a boy and the other a girl. 

“Are they walkers?”  Greg asks.

“I don’t think so!  They are ducking behind things,” Deacon answers.  

He then spots three walkers stumbling around a house in-between them and the survivors.  Jeff puts more boxes in the trailer, before reporting to Deacon that the next trip will be the last. 

Deacon nods.  Jeff leaves them to go gather the last load.  

Greg stands up, motioning to the two families to hurry.  The two that look like the patriarchs grab the two small children and start running straight towards them.  Jeff and Jaimie take the last load to the trailer, oblivious to what is going on.  Deacon keeps watch on the walkers down the street. It is obvious that the zombies see the movement down the street, focusing in on the families. 

“Oh shit!”  Greg says anxiously. 

The zombies quickly jerk around and begin sprinting towards the survivors.  Deacon immediately realizes that these are not walkers but runners.
