I will give my Fallout fanfic a rest to start this new project based on one of my favorite TV shows, the Walking Dead.

Martin Quinn was a regular Inmigration Customs Enforcement Officer in the King county area of Georgia. In other terms, he detained illegal aliens that resided in the area, and turned them in. He also had better training than a regular police officer, so that was a advantage he had. Like any normal person, he also had a family. Alicia Quinn was his wife, and Ian Quinn was his young son. The 3 of them lived regular lives, there was rarely a time where they were in danger, but Martin was always there to protect them. Martin had studied 4 years of Criminology in the university of Atlanta, making good friends that also took the job that he did.
One of his partners, Shane Walsh, decided to follow in Martin's footsteps, making his decision since they were in middle school, so they were like brothers. On one occasion, Martin and Alicia had a small argument before Martin left for work and he commented Shane about it above the truck.
"Like I said, I have no problem if she wants to yell at me, but I hate it when she does that in front of Ian," said Martin to Shane, who was biting into a burger.
"Yeah, little boys like him can be changed by whatever they are around of. These things happen in love bro, and you choose that path!", said Shane sarcastically.
" Officers Walsh and Quinn, requesting back-up at residence number 4, detention of a suspect is bring prolonged," said a radio operator, that sounded over the truck's speakers.
"Chit chat's over, let's rock and roll." Martin threw the leftovers of their food and Shane drove over to the residence that needed help.There was at least 5 agents outside the house, with rifle in hand.
"I need you two to talk the man into coming out, he's getting stuborn," ordered captain Agnes, their superior.
"We need weapons, i'll go get the-" Shane was stopped by agnes.
"You don't need a assault rifle to convince a man to open his door. The both of you will be fine with your handguns. I'll be right behind you in case things get nasty," he replied.
Martin and Shane walked up the stairs and he knocked the door.
"Police, open the door and come out with your hands up!" yelled Shane.
Martin did the same.
"Screw it".
Shane backed up and kicked down the door. Martin took out his pistol and his flashlight, because the light was very weak, and began to look for the man. Shane headed into a room while Martin entered what appeared to be the living room. Agnes entered the home but stayed far from where Martin and Shane were looking.
Martin could hear moans coming from a nearby room and went to check it out. As soon as he opened the door he was attacked by the man, who pinned him to the ground and began to snap at his neck.The man looked normal, save for his eyes that had a very pale color. Anges went running to take him off Martin, and grabbed the attacker by the neck and pulled him off. In the process, the man got the advantage and got a quick bite at Agnes on the arm. He yelled in pain, and shot him 5 times in the chest, then he kicked him off himself. Shane appeared and shot him another 3 in the stomach, but the man seemed to only stumble back with the shots.
Fuck you," Shane got closer and shot him in the head, making him instantly fall to the ground.
"You might spend the rest of your life in prison for what you just did you know?" Asked Martin, who was still on the ground, swesting from the ordeal.
"It was self-defense! The hell was I supposed to know that bastard was crazy?" Replied Shane, who looked very nervous.
Agnes got up and began to lean on a wall outside the room. The man had gotten a good bite on his arm, his teeth had reached deep into it, leaving the area red and swollen.
"You should get that checked out, want to avoid a infection," said Martin, who began to examine the man's body. He had received over 6 bullets in sensitive areas of the body and did not die, until Shane shot him in the head. The body was taken into the morgue while Angus was taken to the hospital, Shane dropped Martin off at his house.
"You sure you don't wanna come in?" asked Martin.
"Nah man I'm good. I need some rest, you know."
Martin entered his home and saw Alicia with Ian crying on their couch. He quickly ran over and grabbed her by the arms.
"Alicia, are you okay?" Asked Martin, who had no idea what was going on.
"My uncle ben got attacked by a man, he did not rob him or anything, but he bit off 3 of his fingers before police had to kill him," she replied, sobbing.
Those words struck Martin like a bullet. Another man attacking another? Bites? What the hell was going on? Martin only knew of 2 people who were bit during a attack, Alicia's uncle Ben and Agnes, and both of them were in the hospital.
Martin grabbed his family and drove to the local hospital, he knew that Ben and Agnes were in the same situation and wanted to evaluate this anyway possible.
The family walked into the waiting area where the rest of Alicia's family were waiting for updates on Ben's health.
Alicia told Martin to go do whatever he needed to do, that she will be okay with her family.
"You want to come with son? Asked Martin.
" No dad, I want to stay with mom.
Martin nodded in response and began to look for Agnes. He eventually found him and was shocked to see his state. He was very pale, and he could barely talk, he did not resemble the man who had trained Martin for the last 10 years. He also noticed his eyes were losing color, and carried a very severe fever.
"Looks like you got the bite sewed up already," commented Martin, noticing surgical tools next to his bed.
"They did the best they could but I still feel like crap" replied Agnes.
"I'm not the only one. I have heard that the enitre hospital is dealing with bites and shit like that," he also added.
Martin did not reply. He knew that the bites were the reason people were dying, yet he didn't know why. As soon as he was going to say something, the heart monitor began to flatline. Agnes had died.
Martin could only see his lifeless body on the bed. Thinking that he had risked himself for his own life, and now he was dead. He began to let tears go down his cheek, his mentor was gone, the man who showed him everything was gone. He was about to get up when his hand began to move.
"Captain?" Asked out loud Martin.
Agnes got up, began to look around the room, and saw Martin and began to lunge at him, but he was restrained by cables. He began to throw scratches at him, also bites. He got free and jumped on top of Martin. He used his left hand to grab him by the throat to avoid his mouth getting close to his body, while with his right hand reached out for a pair of scissors. Agnes had in life bright Blue eyes, now they were a strong red color. Once Martin got a good grip on the scissors, he grabbed them and stabbed the undead captain in the head, making him fall to the ground.
He knew this would happen to Uncle Ben. He had to stop this. Blood had stained his uniform from the attack from Agnes, but he didn't want to waste time. He ran out into the hallway and entered Ben's room, there was not a nurse to be seen, because they were dealing with the same thing else where. The old man would die in moments, he had the same symptoms like Agnes, and Alicia was hugging him.
Once the monitor began to flatline, he knew he had to act.
"Alicia get back."
She didn't listen.
Martin went and pulled her off him.
"Alicia listen to me! Get away from him!" exclaimed Martin.
"Why are you full of blood!?" Asked Alicia, shocked.
"That does not matter! Get away from Ben now! He is dangerous!
" Alicia's mother barged in their conversation.
"Ben is dead. What harm can he do?"
"He won't be dead for long."
Special words. As soon as Martin talked, Ben got up and lunged at a nurse, biting her on her hand. Martin quickly get him off her and grabbed a knife from a nearby table and stabbed him in the eye.
The family had to leave the clinic while Martin took Alicia, her younger brother to their house, he had to explain everything he knew to them.
"Why did you kill my uncle? He was not dead." Asked Alicia, who was no longer crying.
"He was dead. The same thing happened with Agnes. During work a man atttacked me, Agnes took him off me and in the process he got bit. He got taken to the hospital, died, then he got up and attacked me. You saw that he bit the nurse also, so I'm not crazy," replied Martin.
A man knocked his door, it was Shane. He looked pretty scared, he had a bag full of weapons and food, sleeping bags and his girlfriend Sarah.
"What happened, Shane?" Asked Martin.
"Hell broke loose bro. I heard Ben is dead, also heard that you took down Agnes," replied Shane, who took a seat on the couch.
"Do you know what's going on?" Asked Tony, Alicia's brother.
"The dead are walking the streets, eating people. If you get bit, or scratched, It's game over." Said Shane outloud.
"Alicia, do not take Ian to school. The military will be entering the town anytime soon, and god knows what they will do," said Sarah.
"She's right. We can't risk ourselves. If the world is going to hell then we need to stick together. Shane, what do you got?" Asked Martin, who had taken out his stash of weapons also.
"The police station was abandoned so I headed to the armory and brought as much as I could, a few dozen 9mm's, shotguns, assault rifles, also a ton of ammo for all the weapons I mentioned," said Shane, who took out a flashlight.
"I don't got much, a assault rifle, 5 shotguns, 4 9mm's, and ammo. Hope we don't have to use them," added Martin.
"We can't just sit here! We need to go out and look for answers!" Said Alicia.
"We all do. But we won't stand a chance against the dead that are walking and thirsty for our meat. Only Shane and me know how to use these, we are the ones that'll make sure everything goes according to plan," replied Martin.
The sound of someone walking could be heard from the backyard.
"Martin, bring the pistols!" They both quickly ran out into thr backyard, and saw a walker, stumbling around.
"The gunshot will make too much noise, we'll have to use something else" whispered Shane.
Rick grabbed a nearby Machete and took out the walker, leaving it full of blood. They both went back into the house, and reinforced the back door with anything sturdy they could find. They used old blankets to cover the windows so that the walkers couldn't notice them, fortified the house, leaving the front door available in case they need to exit quickly.
Sarah told Shane that Atlanta was the best shot they had, the military were setting up a safe zone, they would be safe there. He told Martin and he seemed to be okay with the idea, but he didn't want to draw much attention, so they made a plan.
Alicia, Ian, Sarah and Tony would wait in the house while Martin and Shane headed to the police station to get a cruiser. Since it was abandoned, they assumed supplies would still be there. They would return to pick up the rest of them and begin to make way to Atlanta.
