Benny Weir stood in sync with his fellow troops as they watched the commanding officer pace back and forth in front of the room. He could feel the tension in the air as everyone looked at the broad picture of Britain plastered onto the wall screen.
"All right ladies and gentleman, we are heading into Ground Zero of this whole mess. Our top scientists believe that the infected should have died off within the last few weeks, having no source of food and simply starved to death. We are here to reclaim the city of London as a central headquarters for this cleanup operation. I can tell you that it will not be pretty out there, and that many of you may find it hard to complete the task at hand. The UN is wanting us to have the whole city cleaned up within the month so they can begin administering citizens back into the country. You will have to work hard, and you will have to work diligently. I expect you all know what to do in the event you come across one of the infected, right between the eyes troops. If you do happen to come across survivors, you are not to engage in any physical contact at all. Take the survivor in question into custody and our biological and medical teams will take it from there. I know some of you have had personal ties to this country, some of you may have even had family here, but today you must forget about all of that. This is a cleanup operation men and women, and that is what you are to do. Downtown London should, and shall be accessible to the general public within the month. Am I clear?" the commanding officer said as he stopped and looked at all his troops as they saluted him diligently.
"Sir yes sir!" Benny hollered out alongside his fellow before he grabbed his weapon and walked out onto the flight deck of the aircraft carrier. Several helicopters awaited, their rotters already at full speed as he jogged up to his designated NATO helicopter. Benny boarded the helicopter as it took flight, looking over at a UN scientist being brought along as she nodded her head at him, her face filled with grimness.
Fifteen Minutes Later
Benny sat in the helicopter as it flew over the Thames River, London in the distance. He looked out his window as he saw whole neighborhoods completely abandoned and cars strewn here and there in the street. He saw a 'HELP US' sign plastered onto a nearby roof of a high rise, bodies surrounding the letters as he looked away from the grim scene. He knew he had to pull it together or else he'd been sent back to the carrier for reprimanding.
"You okay soldier?" asked the scientist as she looked at Benny before brushing aside some of her black hair that draped in front of her green eyes.
"Yes ma'am." Benny lied, sneaking his eyes back to the window of the helicopter as he saw the iconic London Bridge, a overturned double decker bus with several cars piled into it's side laying on the bridge. Benny could see some of the high rises had many windows smashed out and some of the buildings were nothing but burnt down skeletons of their former self's.
"Your only human, it's only natural to be scared and emotional at the sight of something this horrific. I wouldn't even be coming on this cleanup operation unless I wasn't needed. I've got to analyze the bodies we find, the rest have to be burned for safety measures." the woman said as she looked outside of the window at the carnage below.
"My grandmother was from South Hampton. She got out in time, but the stories she told me...they were unimaginable. She had to leave behind a lot of friends, she was heartbroken and devastated when she got to the states. The stewardess told my mother that my grandmother cried the entire flight to New York, and if that wasn't bad enough she had to be completely screened and tested when she landed." Benny said as he closed his eyes and tried to block out the horrible memories before reopening them and looking back at the scientist. She had a sympathetic look on her face as she reached over and put her hand on his knee temporarily.
"I'm very sorry. Hopefully this will go smoothly and your grandmother can come back and live here." the woman said with a apologetic smile.
"She can't...she passed away shortly after she moved to the states. She went into a deep depression and never came out of it, then one day my mother went to wake her up and she never woke up." Benny said, the woman's eyes deceiving her shock as she nodded her head and looked away.
"I'm...sorry. I didn't know, I'm very sorry." the woman said, only for Benny to raise his hand and cut her off.
"Don't...what's done is done. There is nothing we can do to change the past, we can only do everything we can to change the future." Benny said before leaning his head against the head rest and feeling as they helicopter came in for a landing.
So, what do y'all think! Please, please review!
