Macarthur Military Base, Washington DC
Cole Shaw Sat At A Table With Other People Wearing A Solders Uniform He Was With The Military Ever
Since He Was Old Enough To Sign Up And Has Never Been Away From The Job Ever Since, Since he really
had No Family to Go Too for the Last Four Months Though Things Have Been Different There Was News
That A Virus Broke out and Many People Were Getting Sick There Were Even Rumors That The Sick Were
Eating People But Cole Didn't Believe It What Kind of Virus would cause Cannibalism but he could not
deny something was happening The General Put this camp on lockdown and The White House went dark
Two Months Ago but today The General announced that we are going to be searching for survivors from
the Virus he was assigned with two others too search the city of Garden City, New York they were leaving
soon
" So Think We'll find anyone", One Solder Named James Anderson said across from Cole
" What", Cole Said Looking Up he was in his own head thinking about the mission
" I Said Do You Think We Will Find Anyone Out there I mean we haven't heard anything for months they could be all dead", Anderson Said Again Looking back and forth looking for an answer
" Of Course We Will There has to be someone even if there is people eating other people they cant all be gone", Another Solder named Adam Rover Said
Cole Laughed at Rover's Statement
" What Are You laughing at Shaw", Rover said looking at him closely
" Nothing it's just that "
" Just What ", Anderson Said Interrupting Him
" You Really Believe those Rumors about the Virus making people eat other people", Cole Said with a slight smirk
" It's Not A Rumor Shaw didn't you hear about Powell and what happened ", Rover Said
" No What Happened ", Cole said now curious
" So One Day Gates Saw a Girl Outside of the Base she was crying for help so we let her in but she passed out short after we let her in we rushed her in the hospital wing but all of a sudden she woke up and bit Powell right on the neck and took a big chunk out of it we tried to get her to stop but she wouldn't calm down so we had to put her down Powell then passed out but when he woke up he tried too do the same thing so we had to put him down as well", Rover Said
" Really", Cole said Looking Unsure
" Really God Where have you been", Rover Said Throwing his hands in the air
" Under a Rock Apparently", Cole Said Looking Down
" Don't Be a Fucking Smartass With me", Rover Said Angrily
" Shaw, Anderson, Rover", A Tall Old Man In A General Uniform Said walking up to them
" Yes Sir", They All Said in Unison Standing Up
" What The Hell Are you doing just standing here get in the damn helicopters and lets go"
" Yes Sir", They All Said Then Getting In The Nearest Helicopter
The Helicopter Lifted Off It Only took about an hour and thirty minutes too reach the landing area looking
out on the ride the city looking entirely empty but Cole could see a few people in the streets that was a
good sign
" All Right You Three The Mission is Simple find Survivors as many as you can when you can't find anymore radio In and call for evac Rover your in charge", The Pilot of the Chopper said looking back
" Will this mission be dangerous", Anderson Said Raising his hand like a Third Grader in the classroom he is a good solder but he was always a little Naïve
" It Shouldn't be but anything goes wrong you but that radio now good luck out there", The Pilot said Saluting them and taking off
" Alright Let's Move Out ", Rover said
" Yes Sir", Cole Said half sarcastically but half seriously
" Do you want me to knock you on your ass Shaw", Rover said looking back at him
" Sorry, Sorry", Cole Said and Meaning it
They walked for an hour but couldn't find anyone even though Cole could have sworn he saw people in the street he was confused and wondered where the hell they were
" If there are Survivors where the hell are they", Anderson said in a Complaining way
" I have no goddamn idea", Rover said sounding frustrated
Cole looked around until he was a person kneeling down eating something couldn't tell what though
" Rover over there", Cole Said motioning his head to the person
Rover looked at the person and took a sigh of relief
" Hey You there were Military we are here to help ", Rover said yelling at the top of his lungs
The Man all of a sudden got up and turned around his eyes where white his skin was pale his teeth stained
with blood he then started to jog towards them then all of a sudden more people came out all looking of
the same caliber
" What the hell is wrong with them ", Anderson said almost panicked
" I Don't Know but they don't look friendly ", Rover said puzzled
Cole starting raise his gun but Rover signaled to put it down
" We Cant just kill them ", Rover said striking a look at
" Didn't you say that the virus causes cannibalism", Cole Said with a wide eyed expression
" We Don't Know if there infected", Rover Said Aggressively
" They Look Pretty Damn Infected to me", Cole Shouted Angrily
" We Don't Know that", Rover Said
" Screw This", Cole Said Raising his gun and shooting one of the Infected people in the head as Anderson follows him
" No Y-"
As Rover is talking one of the infected grabs him from behind and bites him on the neck Rover Screams
but Cole then shoots the Infected twice in the chest then shoots him in the head"
" Rover are you Ok ", Anderson said
" Im Fine Goddamn it Shaw ", Rover said
" Are You Fucking Kidding Me one of them just took a huge chunk out of your neck", Cole Said
" You Shot Them with no order from a Soupier Officer", Rover Said
" Well Im So Fucking Sorry Mister Soupier Officer", Cole Said Sarcastically
" Guys We Should Really Go Now ", Anderson Said As More Infected People Started Coming
" Fine Let's Go", Rover Said Holding his neck
Cole Starting Shooting The Infected Backing Up But All Of A Sudden one the Infected Leaned up against a wall With Guts Spilled out grabbed Cole's Foot Cole Fell Back And Hit his head on the pavement Passing Out
Cole Wakes Up To See That Rover and Anderson Took Him To A Safe Place Rover is against a wall pale and Anderson is trying to get the radio to work which he had but broke when he fell but then passes out again
Cole Then Wakes Up Again To See Rover Attack Anderson and Bite Him On The Arm But Anderson Shoots Rover in the head but then Cole Passes out again
Cole Wakes Up Again to See Anderson with White Eyes and a Pale Face Go towards Cole But Then Sees him get shot in the head and then sees a Hispanic Man With a Near Shaved Head Thin Pencil Mustache and a Small Goatee on his Chin He Then Passes Out Again
Cole Wakes Up And Sees A Really Dark Skinned Large Statured African-American Man Standing over him With A Medium Length Flat Straight Styled Black Hair With A White T- Shirt with a Blue Prison Shirt Wrapped Around His Waist and Blue Prison Pants He Is Checking for something on him he then looks up and sees the Hispanic Man Pointing a Gun at his head he then spoke with a very heavy Spanish Accent
" Does he have any bites", He Said
" Give Me A Sec Man Do You Have to Point The Damn Gun at his head the whole time", The African- American Man Said With a Deep Booming Voice
" I have to be sure Toven", The Hispanic Man said softly
" I Know Man I Just Don't Like It", The Man Seemly Named Toven Said
" Neither Do I", The Hispanic Man Said
" This Is A Waste of time let's just go", A Caucasian Skinny 17 year old looking boy with long Bowl Cut Blond hair and Messy Stubble all over his chin with a high voice
" If He's Not Bit We Can't just leave him to die Will", The Hispanic Man Said
" This Is Bullshit", Will Said Walking Away
" Alright He Doesn't Got Any Bites I Think He is fine", Toven Said Getting up
The Hispanic Man Lowered his gun and took a Sigh of Relief
" The Hell", Cole Said Sitting Up
" Thank God another Survivor ", The Hispanic Man Said
" Lets Get You Somewhere Safe", The Hispanic Man Said Smiling
