~Omega

The car begins to sputter after miles of driving. The driver of a police cruiser drives past overturned and damaged cars on a deserted highway. The cruiser comes to a stop, unable to move his car closer, the driver gets out of car, his golden hair flowing in the hot dry Eastern wind. As the man walks he sees the remains of a makeshift campsite. Various garbage and corpses little the ground, the unbearable smell of death lingers throughout the ruins, making the golden haired man cough and gag. As he approaches the gas station, the man sees that a handmade sign hanging at the station reading "NO GAS".

As the man is searching to be sure, he hears some footsteps. He immediately ducks and looks under a red car. He catches a glimpse of two pale legs walking. He legs stops and a hand reaches down to pick up a teddy bear with blood smug on it that had been abandoned.

The man stands up and walks closer, he sees that the two pale legs belong to a blonde little girl who was now walking away from him. He breathes a sigh of relief as he slowly walks toward the child. "Little girl?" he calls out to her, but the girl continues to walk as if she heard nothing. "Little girl? Don't be afraid I'm a state deputy." He tells her, but she continues to walk away. "Little girl." He calls out with a louder voice. The girl stops abruptly and slowly turns around. He lets out a startled gasp as he sees her face.

Her lips and right cheek have been torn away, exposing raw teeth and muscle. The man's face falls as she starts towards him, growling. She approaches faster and the man steps back, he reaches to his side and draws his .357 Colt Python revolver. He takes aim and pulls the trigger. The bullet blows through the girls head and exited out the back of her head, spewing her blood pieces of brain onto the fall as the girl falls to the floor. Whatever was left of her life snuffed out. The man takes a breath as he thinks back to what lead him to this.

*Months earlier*

Two men sit in a police car enjoying some fast food while talking to each other. The golden haired man is sitting in the driver's seat. "So Russell, what's the difference between men and women?" the golden haired man asked his partner named Russell Trigram. Russell let out a chuckle.

"Is this a joke, Ed?" He asked between each chuckle.

Ed shook his head. "No, seriously."

Russell nodded and thought for a second. "I never met a woman who knew how to turn off a light." Ed laughs at Russell's answer.

"Is that right?" Ed say. Russell nods and eats more of his fries.

"Yeah, baby. Reverend Russell's preaching to you know, boy." Russell laughs. Ed smiles.

"So how's it going with Winry?" Russell questions with a smirk.

Ed lets a smile sneak onto his face. "She's good, man. She's good at turning off the lights. Really good. I don't know why I sometime forget." Both men let out howls of laughs.

Russell shakes his head. "That's not what I meant man."

Ed's smile wavered. "We didn't have a good night." He tells Russell.

Russell's smile fell. "Do you express your thoughts? Do you share your feelings and that kind of stuff?

"The thing is…lately whenever I try everything I say makes her impatient, like she didn't want to hear it after all. It's like she's…pissed at me all the time, and I don't know why?" Ed sighs.

Russell pats his shoulder. "Look man, your 19 years old, what you're going through…that's just shit couples go through. It's just…it's just a phase." Russell assures him.

Ed shakes his head. "You know what she said this morning?" Russell cocked his head to the side. "She said sometimes I wonder if you even care about us at all. She said that in front of my brother. Imagine going to school with that in your head. The difference between men and women? I would never say something that cruel to her. Especially not in front of Al." Ed shakes his head and neglects his food. Russell nods. "I know she's my wife an-." Before Ed can elaborate a call comes in.

"All available units, high speed pursuit in progress Resembool County units request local assistance. Highway 18 south FMUD W2K16. Proceed with extreme caution."

Russel grabs the food and throws is into a nearby trash can. Ed turns on his siren and heads in the direction that he was told. While driving Ed and Russell listen closely to the caller on the radio.

"Suspects are two Caucasian males. Be advised, they have fired on police officers. One Resembool county officer is wounded."

Ed drives faster.

"Unit 1 Unit 3, please. 18.2 miles west of interstate 85 and we'll patch in Resembool County Sheriff radio."

"Roger that. We're 5 minutes out on the route 18 intersection."

When Ed reaches his destination, he stops the car, he and Russell step out of the car. They go to the back of the car and open the trunk, they pull out spike strips to stop the criminals when they drive by. They place the spikes on the road and take cover behind their vehicles.

"Dispatch, Unit 1, Unit 3, we are 10-97 code 100. Highway 18, 85 Interstate, please advise."

"Sounds like they're chasing those idiots up and down every back road we got." Said one of the deputies.

"Hey, will we get them on one of those video shows, you know, like World's craziest police chases, what do you think?" asked deputy Kain Fuery says.

"What I think, Fuery, is that you need to be focused. Make sure you have a round in the chamber and your safety off." Ed scolds him. Fuery looks at his gun and realizes he didn't do that and he corrects his mistake.

Russell let's out a little chuckle. "It would be kind of cool to get on one of them shows."

Everyone let's out a chuckle. Suddenly, the criminal's car comes down the road. The fast going car hit the spike strips dead on. The wheels from under the car burst and send the car crashing after multiple flips.

"Holy shit." Ed gapes at the destruction.

Ed carefully approaches the overturned car. A man emerges from the vehicle and immediately starts shooting at the officers. "Put your gun down now!" Ed screams at the man. But the man shoots directly at Ed and hits him straight in the chest. Russell shoots the gunman and kills him as Ed falls to the floor. A second man emerges from the car with a shotgun, but is immediately gunned down by the Resembool police officers.

"I'm okay!" Ed shouts, revealing the gunman had shot him in the bulletproof vest. Russell approaches Ed as he pulls himself of the ground.

"Ed!" he yells.

"I'm alright." Ed grunts.

"I saw you get hit man, it scared the hell out of me." He tells Ed.

"Me too. Son of a bitch shot me. You believe that?" Ed wheezed and laughed.

"He got you in the new vest." Russell laughed.

"Yeah. Russell, you do not tell Winry or Al what happened. Ever. You understand….Aahh!" Ed cries out when a third man comes out of the vehicle and shoots Ed when his back is turned. The bullet hits Ed on his side where the vest does not protect him. Ed falls to the floor bleeding and gasping for air, Russell steps into action and shoots the third gunman, wounding him severely. After the third man goes down Russell rushes to Ed's side.

"Ed! Ed! No, no, no! Shhh, shhh, shh. No, no, no…He's hurt! Fuery! You get that ambulance down here, you tell them there an officer down, and you do it now!" Russell yells as he applies pressure to the wound. "Shhh, shhh, shhh, hey, you look at me, stay with me, you hear me? Stay with me, Ed, you hear?" Russell begs him as Ed begins to fade into unconsciousness.

*In the hospital*

Russell arrived in my room with flowers. But I can comprehend what is going on, I'm not really understand what Russell is telling me. Russell comes into my view as I'm lying in the hospital bed.

"Hey, bud…We're still here. We're still hanging in there. Look, I'm sorry, man. I should have watched your back. Anyway, everyone pitched in on these. They send their love and they just…They hope you come back real soon. Lina and Mary from dispatch picked these out for you. You probably could tell, hmmm? I'll set this on your side table, okay?" Russell said, but it didn't make a difference, I am unaware of what Russell was telling me. Russell sighs and sets them on the drawer next to me.

After what feels like a few seconds I finally process what he tells me and I finally respond to him. "That vase has something special to it. Fess up. Did Fletcher steal it from your grandma? I hope you guys left her a spoon collection." I let out a small chuckle, but I don't hear a respond. "Russell?" I call out, my voice rough. I turn my head to the side. I spot the flowers but they look weird. I reach out to them and I touch one of the petals, and as I suspected their dead and dried out. "Russell, you in the shitter?" I called out again, hoping some on will answer. I decided to look on my own. I look to the wall and I see they clock, it has stopped at 2:16. I sit up and I feel weak. I try to stand…not a good idea. I fall to the floor in pain. "Nurse!" I wheeze out. "Nurse, help. Nurse. Help!" I call out but no one comes. With whatever strength I have left I lift myself off the floor, I stumble to the bathroom. I see the faucet and I turn the knob, thankfully the water is still running. I shove my hands into the cold water, then brings them up to my face to take a long drink of water. When was the last time I had something to drink? Where is everyone? I know my questions can be answered but I have to leave the room. I take a breather and then I make my way out of my room and I see a gurney blocking my room door, I push it away and I go into the hallways.

To put it frankly, everything is shit. The lights are flicking in the hallways, several beds are overturned and there are papers laying everywhere. I shuffle down the hallways until I reach a desk, I see a phone and I instantly pick it up, but I am unable to get a dial tone. While looking for anything else I see a set of matches…strange, but I pick them up just in case.

I look around to see some lights flickering. I stumble in its direction. I turn my head to look through one of the doors. There's nothing much but the body on the fl-…there's a body on the floor! Oh god, everything of her abdomen is missing and her entrails are hanging out of her stomach. I swallow the bile that tried to make its way out of my mouth. Disgusted I continue to walk down the hallway, only to find blood and bullet holes that litter the wall. I reach the end of the hallway and I find double doors that has been sealed with chains and a board preventing it from opening. On the doors a message is scrawled in black paint, it reads "Don't Open/ Dead inside". From the other side of the door pale hands with broken nails reach through the crack, their reaching for me! I stumble back and I crawl away from the godforsaken door. I reach and elevator I press the buttons but nothing was happening! I see a sign for the stairwells and I quickly wobble to it. As soon as I open the door, the smell of rotten flesh attacks my nose. I gag and try not to throw up as I strike a match to light up the dark stairwell. I slowly make my way down the stairs, and I strike another match to find the exit. I find the door and I push my way through it, once my eyes adjust to the sunlight I can see it's the back of the hospital and loading bay. I slowly walk passed hundreds of bodies wrapped in sheets and arranged in roles and piles. I walk out of the loading bay and I find a hill. At the top of the hill there are military helicopters, sand bags, and other signs of military involvement, but everything is abandoned. Panic begin to rise within me.

I wonder down the road in my hospital clothes, then I spot a bike, thank god I was starting to get tired…yeah, so what I got shot. I reach for the bike and once I have my hand on the handle, something catches my eye. On the ground is a half of a woman's body and it's crawling towards me! I fall to the floor with a bike and she keeps crawling to me, her body was badly decayed, her lips missing while moaning and growling pathetically. I stumble to my feet and I mount the bike, then I hastily speed away. I ride up the trail, until I reach my home. I drop the bike and I run into the house, wrenching the door open and running into the living room. "Winry!" I yell. The panic begins to take over. "Al!" I yell praying for someone to answer. I begin to hyperventilate and tears well up in my eyes. "Alphonse!" I call again, hoping to god he'll answer me. I collapse to the floor crying. "Winry!" I cry out again. I wail as thoughts wrack my brain, what if their dead. "Alphonse!" I wail as I take a fetal position on the floor of the living room. Tears spew out of my eyes as I continue to call out for my Wife and little brother, then I begin to question if what was happening real or if I'm dreaming, I slap myself trying to wake up from this twisted nightmare. After my little break down I walk outside and I sit on the grass under the tree by the house. I look up to see a man stumbling down the road, I raise my hand and I wave to him, trying to get his attention. I hear a twig snap behind and I quickly turn around, only to catch a glimpse of a piece of metal, right before pain. I am pushed to my back and I look up to see a blurry figure standing above me. "Winry... I found you." I choke out. Suddenly another figure comes into view, and I hear a muffled question. "Wha…." Another question is asked but I fade into darkness.

*A couple minutes earlier*

A girl with light brown hair and dark green eyes slowly walked behind the person she thought was a walker. 'No mercy, just like daddy taught me' she thought to herself. She is right behind the golden haired walker until she steps on twig that snaps under her foot. The head spins to turn face her and she swings the shovel straight into the man's face. He falls back with his nose bleeding and his breathing jagged. The girl looks at the man and he looks back to her. "Winry…I found you." The man says slowly. The girl breaks her gaze away from the man and turns to her dad who walks up behind the walker who was wobbling down the road. Her dad aims his gun and shoots the walker dead.

"Daddy! Daddy!" she yells to him. Her father runs to her and puts her behind him, while he takes aim to Ed's head. "Daddy, I got'em! I got'em! I'm gonna smack him dead!" she says eagerly. Her father keeps her behind her.

"He say something? I thought I heard him say something." He questions his daughter.

"He called me Winry." She says truthfully.

"Sweetheart, you know they don't talk." He says confused. He notices the bandage on the man's side. "Hey, mister! What's the bandage for?" his breathing steady.

"What?" Asked the man.

"What kind of wound? You answer me, damn you! What's your wound?" He says more forcefully. The man fails to respond. "You tell me! Or I will kill you." The man threatens as he cocks the gun. He keeps his eye trained on the man but steps back when the man suddenly passes out.

*House – Bedroom*

Ed wakes up and attempts to move his arms, only to find that his arms and legs are tied to the bed. He sees a little girl with brown hair and green eyes standing at the door with a baseball bat. "Got that bandage changed. It was pretty rank. What was it? The wound?" Ed turns his head to see a man sitting next to him, the man's black hair is slicked back, his eyes are light green, and they hide behind his square glasses. Ed looked down to see his bandage had been changed though his wound was mostly healed.

"Gun shot." Ed croaks out. The man looks up stroking the stubble on his chin.

"Gunshot? What else? Anything?" he asked curious.

Ed narrowed his golden eyes. "Gunshot ain't enough?" he asked kind of pissed.

The man let's out a tired sigh. "Look, I ask and you answer. It's common courtesy, right? Did you get bit?" the man asked again.

Ed shook his head. "No, I got shot." He tells him the truth.

The man still does not believe him. "Just shot?" he quirks an eye brow.

"As far as I know." The man reaches and feels Ed's forehead.

"Feels cool. The fever would have killed you by now." The man tells him. "It would be hard to miss." Ed nods. The man pulls out a knife and shows it to Ed, he puts it dangerously close to Ed. "Take a moment…look how sharp it is. You try anything…I will kill you with it, and don't think I won't." Ed stays still and the man cuts him loose. "Come when you're able." The man tells him as he walks out of the room with his daughter.

*Dining Room*

Ed walks down the stairs to find the man and his daughter getting dinner ready. "This place… it's the Winchester's place." he whispers.

"Never met them." The man admits

"I've been here. This is their place..." Ed reminisces.

"It was empty when we got here." Ed walks to the window and peels the blankets back. "Don't do that. They'll see the light. There's more than usual. I never should have fired that gun today. The sound draws them, now they're all over the place." The man criticizes himself.

"You shot that man today." Ed accuses.

"That was no man."

"Yes it was, in the street you shot him, a man."

The man his head. "That was no man, it was a walker." Ed shakes his head and stumbles to the table. "Sit down before you fall down." Ed obliges.

"You know names are also common courtesy." Ed says. The man smiles and removes his glasses.

"I'm Lieutenant-Colonel Maes Hughes, and this is my 12 year old daughter Elicia." Hughes holds his hand out.

"I'm state deputy Edward Elric. Nice to meet a fellow officer." Ed introduced himself. Hughes eyes widened and then a smile creeped onto his face.

"It's an honor to meet the youngest state deputy." Both men shake hands and begin to eat their dinner. "So do you even know what's going on?" Ed shook his head and told Hughes all that he knew. "But you know about the dead people right?" he asked.

"Yeah I a lot out in the loading dock behind the hospital." Ed said.

Hughes shook his head. "No, not the ones they put down. The ones they didn't. The walkers. Like the one I shot today. He would have ripped you open if I wouldn't have. He would have eaten you." Ed gulps down the food that was in his mouth. "I know it must sound crazy…" he trails off.

"They're out there now, in the street?" Ed asked.

Hughes nodded. "Yeah. They're more active at night sometimes. But as long as we stay quiet, we should be fine. The only thing you need to know is don't get bit. The bites kill you, fever burns you out, but then after….you come back." Hughes told home with a sad look.

"I saw it happen." Elicia said solemnly. The group continues to eat quietly. After dinner, Elicia goes to sleep next to her father.

"So who's Winry?" Hughes piped up. "She your daughter or is she your girl?" He asked.

"She's my wife." Ed says with a smile.

"A wife? How old are you?" Hughes asked with his mouth agape.

"I'm nineteen." Ed says with a laugh. "What is it bad?" Hughes smiles and shakes his head.

"So you looking for her?"

"Yeah, her and my little brother Alphonse. He's a year younger than me." Hughes nods. He turns his head when he hears a muffled 'Dad'.

"Yeah, sweetheart?"

"Did you ask him?" she tell him.

Hughes laughs and Ed looks to them confused. "She saw the bullet wound and thought you were a robber or something like that." He tells Ed. Ed chuckles.

"Yeah that's me a big bad robber, nah quite the opposite." He laughs. Suddenly a car alarm goes off outside, Hughes rushes to turn off the light. Ed peers out to the street through the heavily covered windows and boarded up doors. The street is filled with walkers, they are moving in the direction of the car, drawn by the noise of the alarm. A lady in a night grown comes into view, her hair is the same color as Elicia's. Elicia runs away from the window crying. Hughes immediately goes to comfort her, While Ed stares at the woman through the peephole of the door. The woman walks to the door and stops right in front of it, she grabs the door handle and tries to turn the knob.

"She died in the other room on that bed." Ed hears Hughes tell him. "I should have put her down…" He regrets. "But I didn't have it in me. She's the mother of my child." He whispers as he hugs Elicia. Ed nods and places a comforting hand on his shoulder. They both look at the door knob as it continues to turn and shake.

*The next morning*

Ed is no longer in his hospital clothes, now he's in a white shirt and some jeans. They walk out of the house, Ed is holding a baseball bat and has a clear mask on. "You sure their dead right?" He questions uncertainly. Hughes nods and points at the head. Ed nods and walks to a walker who is sitting on the floor next to the fence post. The noise catches the walker's attention and it stands up, then it starts to hobble toward Ed. Ed walks towards the walker and swings the bat, hitting the walker straight in the head, the walker falls to the ground. Ed stands over the walker and begins to smash its head in with the bat. After he's done Ed falls to the ground, breathing hard and holding his side.

"Are you okay?" Hughes asked him as he kneels next to Ed.

"Just need a moment." Ed assures him. Ed takes a few deep breaths, then stands up. They walk in the direction of Ed's home. Inside the house Ed looks around more closely. He finds empty drawers in the bedrooms. "They're alive. Winry and Al. At least they were when they left." Ed says as he looks at missing clothes.

"How can you know?" Hughes questions. "By the look of this place…"

"I found empty drawers in the bedroom, they packed some clothes, not much, but enough to travel. We had photos pinned up on that board." Ed points to an empty pin

Board. "No random thief would take them. Our photo albums, family pictures, all gone."

Hughes begins to laugh. "Photo albums…my wife… the same thing, here I am packing survival gear, and she's grabbing photo albums." Hughes laughs loudly. Ed smiles.

"I bet they're in East City." Elicia says. Hughes nods in agreement.

"Yeah, East City was said to have shelter, food, and military protection." Hughes said to Ed, who was still rummaging through drawers. He finds key and takes them. "They also have the CDC, last I heard they were working on how to solve this mess." Ed nods and tells them to follow him. Ed gets in his police cruiser and drives in the direction of the police station. He stops the car in front of the front of the police station, they enter the office and walk to the locker room where Ed turns on the shower. He smiles when he feels that the water is still hot. The trio luxuriate in the hot showers, thanks to the separate heating system. After the great showers, the small group gets change their clothes and start to scavenge what they can from the station. "We never made it to East City….after Gracia died we kind of got stuck, so we stayed in that house." Hughes Whispers so that Elicia wouldn't hear from the other dressing room.

"Plan to move on?" Ed asked him, Hughes shrugs.

"Haven't worked up to it yet." Hughes admits. Ed looks through the armory.

"A lot of its gone missing." Ed says as he grabs a rifle from the gun rack. Ed looks through his locker to find some other clothes and his revolver. Ed changes into some black jeans, and a sleeveless black shirt, the thing that is missing is his favorite red leather jacket. Ed shrugs and grabs his state deputy hat, Ed grabs a duffel bag and loads all of the guns and ammunition he could find. He grabs his things and walks outside.

*Outside*

Ed begins to load the guns into the car and pulls out a rifle, pistol, and some ammo. Hughes looks at him. "You go ahead of us, we'll catch up in a few days. I want to teach Elicia to shoot before we head out." Ed nods and gives Hughes the weapons and ammo, Hughes thanks him and gives Ed advice to avoid hordes of walkers. Their farewell is interrupted when Ed hears a noise coming from the fence.

Ed walks toward the gate and sees a walker. "Jesus….its Kain…" He sighs as he shakes his head. Ed pulls out his gun, while Fuery claws at the chain link fence separating them. "I never thought much of him. He was smart, but careless, although…I can leave him like this."

"They'll hear the shot." Hughes warns.

"Then it's best not to be here when they show up. The walkie-talkie I gave you only has one battery, so make it last. I'll turn mine on, a few minutes every day at dawn. That's how you'll find me." Ed shakes Hughes's hand and gives Elicia a hug. Hughes then leaves with his daughter and Ed is left alone with what used to be a former comrade. Ed takes a deep breath and turns his attention to Fuery. He aims his revolver to Fuery's head and shoots him in the head, ending him. Ed leaves in his police car heading in the direction of East city.

*With the Hughes'*

Elicia quickly covers the windows again before it could get dark. Hughes goes up the stairs with the rifle in his hand. He reaches a room that has a window in the center of the wall. He has a clear view of the ground down below, Hughes sets up a chair to hold the rifle still. He pulls out his wallet that has many pictures of his wife smiling. Hanging one on the wall, he takes aim with the rifle. He lets out a whistle and one of the walkers turns to Hughes and he fires, killing the walker instantly.

Elicia hears the gun shot and runs to the stairs. "Daddy?" She calls out to him.

"It's alright, Sweetheart. You stay there. Don't come up here." Hughes orders her. He removes his glasses and cleans them, he then puts them back on and prepares to shoot again. Elisa shits on the mattress and covers her ears, she begins to pray. Hughes aims and shoots another walker, then he looks for his wife next. "Gracia…come on." Hughes begins to sniffles quietly. Several walkers start to walk towards the house. Hughes lets out a shuddered breath when he finally spots her. He chokes back a sob as he takes aim for her head, she looks straight at the scope. "Come on, come on." He tells himself. Right as he is about to pull the trigger, Hughes pulls the gun back, unable to bring himself to finish her. Sobs wrack his body, he brings the gun back up and takes aim. But again he pulls it away, unable to do it. Hughes sits there crying at his weakness.

*Park*

Ed stops the police cruiser and gets out of the car. He looks around the park but is unable to spot the woman he had saw two days earlier. He decides to walk more into the park, after a couple of minutes of walking he sees something crawling on the grass. Ed approaches the walker and sees that it is the same one he had encountered the day he woke up. He kneels next to the poor woman as she tries to claw at him, wanting to eat him. "I'm sorry this happened to you." He whispers to her. He then pulls out his gun and shoots her in the head, finally putting the poor woman out of her misery. Ed closes his eyes for a moment then stands up and walks back to the car. He then drives away with determination, He is going to find his family.

*On the road*

"Hello, Hello. This is state deputy Edward Elric approaching the East City from the north. I am broadcasting on the Emergency Channel. If anyone can hear me, please respond." Ed continues to look for someone over the radio while in route to East city.

*Survival Camp*

Inside a camp outside of East city with an old RV, with a man perched upon the RV with a pair of binoculars, hears a voice come over the radio. A girl with black hair and a green shirt drops the box that she was holding and runs to the CB radio.

"Hello, Hello? Can anybody hear me?" Comes Ed's voice through the radio.

"Hey? Hello?" The black haired girl says.

"Can anyone hear my voice?" Ed says again.

"Yes, I can hear you. You're coming through. Over." She says again.

"Anybody who read, please respond, I will be approaching East City on Highway 85. Anyone please respond." Ed pleas.

"We're just outside of the city. Damnit. Hello? Damn, he couldn't hear me, I couldn't warn him." She tell the rest of the group who had circled around her and the radio.

"It's okay Rebecca, Try to raise him again. Come on. Russell, you know best how to work this thing." Says a man with grey hair and squinty eyes.

"Sure Falman." Russell grabs the radio. "Hello, hello, is this the person who called still on the air?" This is Officer Russell Trigram, broadcasting to an unknown person, please respond." Russel says into the radio. "He's gone." Everyone looks displease and they go back to doing their jobs. Russell stands next to Winry.

"So there are others." She asked him.

"Yeah, we knew there would be, that's why the CB was left on."

"Yeah, but I've been saying for a week, we out to put signs up on 85 to warn people to stay away from the city." She scolds Russell.

"Folks have no idea what their getting their selves into." Rebecca supports.

Russell shakes his head. "We don't have enough time." Russell grabs another piece of wood to cut.

Winry gets angry. "Well I think we should make time." Her hands on her hips.

"And who the hell do we send?" Falman asked.

"I'll go, just give me a vehicle." Winry crosses her arms across her chest.

Russell grabs the axe from the floor. "Nobody goes anywhere alone, you know that." He tells her.

"Yes sir." Winry walks away from him, Al follows her quietly. Russel grabs his arm to hold him back.

Al looks up to face Russell. "Hey, hey, hey, can you go with Rebecca to collect fire wood? I need to speak with Winry." Al frowns and nods. After Al walks away, Russell follows Winry into a tent. "What, you're pissed at me? Well you being pissed at me all you want isn't going to change anything." He tells her. "I'm not putting you in danger, okay? You can't walk off like that, half-cocked. You need to be strong, and don't do it for me. Do it for him, he's lost to much. He's already lost his brother he's not losing his last family member too, okay? Okay?" Winry nods.

"Okay, fine." They both smile at each other. Russell then walks up to Winry and kisses her.

"Winry?"

Russel breaks away and leaves before Al could see them kissing. Russell smiles to Al. "Hey man, go on she's in there." Al nods and walks in.

"Hey Al, don't worry I'm not going anywhere. Okay, now let's go finish the chores." Al nods and they both go back to work.

*In the police car*

Ed pulls out a photograph that he has of his family off the dashboard and into his pocket. He abandons his car and walks down the road to a small farm house to look for some gasoline for the car. "Hello?" Ed knocks on the door. "State deputy out here. Can I borrow some gas?" Ed knocks on the door with more force. "Hello? Anybody home?" Ed finds a window and looks inside. He lets out a gasp when two dead bodies with flies buzzing around them. On the wall there is a message written in blood that reads "GOD FORGIVE US" Ed shakes his head and tugs on his pony tail a bit. He then walks over to a truck that is sitting in the driveway, but the keys are missing. "Fuck." Ed curses as he kicks the truck. Ed walks back and notices a something. He notices a horse and walks over to it. "Hey buddy, don't worry, I ain't gonna hurt you." He coaxes the horse. He is able to put the saddle on the horse and mount it. He secures the bag of guns on his shoulder and starts to ride to East City.

*East City*

East City is not what Ed expects it to be. As he rides down the street, everything looks abandoned. Ed leads the horse down a street where there are abandoned helicopters, tanks and cars. Ed rides past a bus and some of the walkers see him. They get up and they start to walk towards him, Ed disregards them. "Steady now." He tells the horse. Ed rides past them and goes to ride down the street. Ed looks up when he hears a noise, he is able to see the reflection of a helicopter. "Hyah!" He makes the horse run after the reflection, he turns on one street only to be faced with hundreds of growling and decaying corpses that were now stumbling towards him. Ed turns the horse around goes in the other direction, only to be stopped by another blockade of walkers. The horse gets frightened by the walkers and knocks Ed off of it, dropping the gun bag in the process. Ed crawls away from the horse as walkers begin to swarm the creature. The walkers begin to rip apart and eat the flesh of the horse. In a panic, Ed scrambles under the nearby tank while walkers still try to get him. Walkers start to reach under and grab at him from both ends of the tank. Ed pulls out his gun and shoots several of them, but more keep coming. In desperation, Ed places the gun to his head. "Winry, Al, I'm sorry." He says, but before he could pull the trigger, Ed looks up to see an open hatch under the tank and immediately crawls inside before the walkers could get him. Ed closes the hatch, then sits back to catch his breath. He spots a gun on a dead soldier, and reaches for it, but suddenly the soldier growls at him. Ed freaks out and shoots him in the head, after the walker is dead Ed takes a gun and a grenade from the soldier. Ed sees that the top hatch is still open, and quickly goes to close it, he lifts his head out of the hatch and takes notice of the amount of walkers surrounding him. After closing the hatch, Ed sits down and a wipes the sweat from his forehead.

The tank's radio crackles. "Hey. Hey you, shorty," a voice says. "You in the tank. Cozy in there?" Ed looks up, slowly taking his hand away from his forehead.
