"Fuck yes!" Pearl shouted, looking out at the crowd that got smaller and smaller below them. "Fuck, I'm so horny right now!"

Marisa stared at her, not sure if she had heard right. "What are you talking about?" she asked incredulously.

"Well," Berlin said, leaning closer to her naked friend. "I guess she's about to enter the mile-high club..."

With trembling hands, Miryam disengaged the brakes and steered the plane carefully to the runway, while outside they could see a crowd of zombies shuffling faster than they thought possible in their direction. For a moment, it looked like they would catch up with them, then the plane picked up speed, rushed down the tarmac with wind blowing at them through the smashed window. And then they took off.

#SuburbanWar 501

Berlin, Pearl and Marisa all frantically rushed to the propellers of the small plane, giving them push after push while Miryam tried to remember what she could from flight school, turning on fuel to the engines, keeping the brakes engaged, wondering about the magnetos. Were they supposed to be on or off? When she was still hesitating, the engine sprang into motion and the girls outside let out a surprised yell. "Quick! Let's go!" Pearl squeaked as they climbed into the plane.

"It... it won't start without the key," Miryam said as she fumbled with the door lock through the window, managing to finally unlock it.

"Can't we just, like, turn those whirly things?" Pearl asked with a look at the propellers. "I've seen that on the tv, they just gave them a push and it went off."

Miryam opened her mouth as if to reply something, then stopped herself. "Alright, let's try," she said finally.

They doubled back to the small plane as fast as their legs would carry them. "They're coming!" Berlin yelled at Miryam and Marisa, who had stayed behind in the vain hope of still finding a way into the plane, somehow.

"Who's com..." Miryam began puzzled, when the pink-haired girl rushed up to the plane's door and began to smash the window with her wrench. It only took a few blows, and the glass broke.

"In!" Berlin screamed, waving at them. "Everybody in!"

#SuburbanWar 498

In the end, none of that mattered. When Berlin and Pearl got close to the airport, always on the lookout for anyone who looked like a mechanic, the crowd around the building noticed them. Within moments, dozens of zombified travellers were clamouring to get through doors and windows and after the girls. "Shit," Berlin hissed when the commotion spread like a wildfire. "Run!"

#SuburbanWar 497

"Tha's right!" Pearl agreed. "What she said!" Her eyes already darted around, looking for the elusive zombie mechanic who stood between her and the most exciting flight of her life.

"And even... and even if you find this... this person," Marisa continued, "then what? How are you going to get those keys?"

Berlin's eyes fell on a rack of tools inside the hangar, where she fixated on a particularly large wrench. "We'll see," she said.

#SuburbanWar 496

"That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" Pearl yelled excitedly.

"No, this is dangerous!" Marisa objected loudly. "You can't really think about going in there! M-my... the crew... they..."

"It might not be that dangerous," Berlin replied. "Let's think this through: Whoever moved the plane out here wasn't the owner, or they wouldn't have needed the backup key, right? So, it's a mechanic who was working on this plane. He might not even be in the building but somewhere around here!"

#SuburbanWar 495

"Alright, fine," Berlin sighed. "Can't we just... fuel them?"

"With what?" Marisa asked, waving around at the empty airfield. "You got the keys to a fuel tanker? Even if, I don't know how we would operate one."

There was a moment of pause, while Berlin stared at the airport building with small shapes of zombies moving around it, while everyone else stared at her. Finally, she growled: "Alright, let's get keys from a zombie!"
