So let's start with this. I do not own any of the rights to any of the Walking Dead Series. What I do own is the plot and the characters. I would like to thank Robert Kirkman for the conic book series. I would like to thank AMC productions for producing such a great series. Beside them I would also like to thank my good friend Warren for helping me develop and work with such a great plot. He also let me use a few of characters.


Episode 1: Guys Night Out

The sun is shinning on a busy LA freeway, the radio is blaring a local news station.

"Its currently 98 degrees Farenheit so make sure pack plenty of suntan lotion, and plenty of water to drink. And if you plan to head beach bare with the crowds," said the news caster.

"Damn its hot today," David said looking up from his 3ds.

"In local news there has been a string violent homicides in LA county. Police are currently investigating each homicide, police currently have no leads and refuse to comment on the victims," said the new caster.

"Andrew, shut that shit off," Donald said angrily.

"Geez, calm down," replied Andrew.

David looked up from his 3ds again and looked over at his friend Warren nose deep into the book he currently reading. David said nothing and went back to playing. Their attention was from the freeway to the sound of nearby sirens. They all looked over to the southbound lane and saw four highway patrol cars speed past.

"I wonder what type of shit is going down?" Andrew asked.

"Its not our problem," replied Donald.

The group of them were in for a long drive they were meeting Justin up at Big Bear Lake.

"So Warren, how long have you been a park ranger up there?" Andrew asked.

"Its been roughly about a month," replied Warren.

(A Few Hours Later)

It was now night time when the group finally meet up with Justin. Everyone was tired and at each others throat. One in particular bitched the whole ride up, even though they meet up with each other for him after all one of them was getting married a week later. Donald started to walk around the campsite to see where to set up the tents. Warren and Andrew went over the local watch tower to meet up with one of Warren's fellow employee's. David began the long task of loading the car. The group brought some tools like a couple hatchets, Donald brought a pistol just in case.

(Andrew and Warren)

Andrew and Warren arrive at the watch tower and they were meet by Gusty.

"Hey Gusty," said Warren.

This lady was in her standard park ranger with a coffee mug in hand.

"Hey Warren, I thought you were off for a week," replied Gusty.

"Oh, I'm just here with some friends. We are having a bachelor party," said Warren.

"Why are you guys here and not at some club downtown LA," replied Gusty.

"Not all of us are single you know," said Andrew out of the blue sky.

"Remember Andrew, Donald also wanted to give back to nature. He wanted away from his job and do manly things," Warren said jokingly.

"Well no place like nature then. Remember to have a shovel and don't wipe with ivy you hear," replied Gusty.

"What do you take us for?" Andrew joked.

"Yeah, that's what scares me. The last group that was out here got chased by a bear. Also make sure to leave no food out," said Gusty.

"We don't have to worry about that. We got plenty to handle to a bear," replied Andrew.

Gusty looked over at Warren. "Let me guess you brought your long bow,"

"Yeah I did. I wanted to work on my archery," Warren replied.

"Last time you used your bow you couldn't even hit the center," said Gusty.

"Its a work in progress," replied Warren.

"I think its time we head back to the group," Andrew said looking down at his watch.

Warren and Andrew made the trek back to the others.

(Back at the Campsite)

When Warren and Andrew got back, tents were already up fire was set and the three of them were by the fire. Donald had already opened the cooler and downed three beers. David was working on his first beer, and Justin his second while watching the dogs. Andrew and Warren took a seat by the fire and grabbed a couple water bottles. Justin handed the dogs out to everyone. Warren looked around for the ketchup and the mustard.

"Well it looks like we forgot to buy the ketchup and mustard. It looks like we are eating plain dogs," said Warren.

"Damn it Andrew I told you to grab them while we were at the gas station," said Donald.

"Well at least we have the s'mores stuff," Justin said trying to stop the tension.

After eating the group the decided to talk around the fire. They talked about the common thing amongst guys.

"So Donald how does it feel to be getting married?" Andrew asked.

"Well I feel like a lucky man," replied Donald.

"So, Warren how about you?" asked Andrew.

"What relationship mine ended a month ago," Warren replied.

"I haven't talked to you in awhile Justin. So how about you?" asked Andrew.

"I have been dating mine for months now and have decided to propose to her soon," replied Justin.

"Congrats man," said Warren.

"So David how about you?" asked Donald.

"Damn, I work a full time job. I don't have time for that," replied David.

"Your no fun David," said Donald.

"Hey, your not the one that lives with Warren," replied David.

"David, I found my current job a month ago," said Warren.

"Yeah, its your fifth one Warren," replied David.

"David, you have that wrong this is my forth one," Warren said jokingly.

"What that fast food job didn't cut it for ya," said Donald.

"I liked the breakfast burrito's but the pay and benefits sucked," replied Warren.

"I don't have to worry about it I'm a store manager," David boasted.

"So Andrew how about your relationship?" asked Justin.

"You got remember Katie is a vet. I'm working all the time so is she so we don't see each other much, but when we do the time is nice," replied Andrew.

"Oh, yeah you work in the local news station," said Donald.

"Shit is always breaking someone has to fix it," replied Andrew.

Justin, grabbed the chocolate out the cooler then walked over to the car and got the marshmallows and graham crackers and walked back over to the fire. Just then everyone heard the coyotes howl, and owls fly by.

"That's odd," said Warren.

"Oh, well so who's on watch tonight," Donald said drunkenly downing the last of his beer.

"I'll do it," Warren said begrudgingly.

After Warren volunteered, everyone retired to their tents.

(A Few Hours Later)

Justin comes walking out of his tent half asleep. He looks over at Warren and Warren looks back at him.

"I have to take a piss," said a tired Justin.

"Just don't wonder off to far," Warren said flipping the page of his book.

Justin walks off into the forest with a flashlight in hand to take his piss. An hour later Justin is not back and Andrew is waking up. He is thirsty and gets up and walks out of his tent. He walks over to the cooler and gets a water on his wake back to his tent he stops and notices Justin's tent unzipped and wide open.

"Warren, where's Justin?" Andrew asked.

"Well he got up to take a piss," replied Warren.

"What time was that?" asked Andrew.

"It's about 10:50 when he got up," replied Warren.

"What time is it now?" asked Andrew.

"Its about 11:50 now. He should have been back already," replied Warren looking down at his pocket watch.

"Something happened to him if he's not back yet," said Andrew.

"Nah, he's probably just lost. Let's go find him," replied Warren.

"I'll wake up the others before we go," said Andrew.

Andrew walked over to Donald's tent and woke him up.

"You better have damn good reason for waking me up Andrew," said Donald.

"Justin's missing," replied Andrew.

"So, its not my problem I didn't invite the guy," said Donald.

"I try to be nice to Katie's cousin and invite him to our night out here," replied Andrew.

"Oh, I forgot you'd do anything for fucking Katie," said Donald.

"Fuck off, and go back to sleep then," replied Andrew.

After leaving Donald's tent walks over to David's tent. Andrew unzipped the tent and saw David's mouth wide open and snoring obnoxiously. Andrew taps him and wakes him up.

"What's going on?" asked David with one eye open.

"Justin's missing," replied Andrew.

"He probably just got lost. He'll find his way back. I'm going to go back bed now," said David laying back down.

Andrew leaves tent and says something to himself.

"I hope a bug flies into your mouth," said Andrew.

"You know I heard that right," replied David.

"Yeah, just go back to sleep," said Andrew.

Andrew walks back over to Warren who was getting ready to hike up the trail. He has his Long bow slung over his shoulder and a bag of marbles in hand. Andrew quickly walks back over to the car, grabs the hatchet, the flare gun and a flashlight. He then walks back over to Warren.

"Why do you need the hatchet?" asked Warren.

"You never know what your going to find out here," replied Andrew.

"A hatchet won't take anything down," said Warren.

Andrew and Warren start to head out from the camp. The stick to the trail and go looking for Justin.

"So Andrew do anything about those crazy murders that have happened?" asked Warren.

"I'll make a call and get back to ya on that one," replied Andrew.

They walked the trail for half an hour and found nothing so they went back to camp. After just getting back to camp Andrew and Warren see someone walking from the trail. Andrew shines the flashlight over there to see it was Justin. He had a fresh bite mark in his neck. Andrew was left speechless and looked over at Warren who was also speechless. Andrew cautiously walked over to him.

"Justin? What happened to you?" asked Andrew.

Warren slowly walked over to them.

"Justin were you attacked by an animal?" asked Warren.

Justin said nothing. He tries to grab Warren, Warren pushes him off.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" asked Warren.

Justin lets out growl and lunges at Warren. Andrew for a minute doesn't know what to do, but instinct takes over and he nails Justin in the back of the leg with handle of the hatchet. Justin falls face first to the ground with a thud and passes out. Warren and Andrew drag his ass back to camp.

"Warren, what do you think this is? Rabies?" asked Andrew.

"I don't know. Its not rabies because it take awhile for rabies to effect a human," replied Warren.

They get back to camp and Donald and David are both up. Donald is cursing up a storm and has a beer in one hand. Warren and Andrew drag, Justin over by the fire. David and Donald walk over and Donald has the shovel in hand. They turn him on his back to examine the bite mark.

"So Warren what type of animal would do this?" asked David.

"I don't know an animal that would bite like that," replied Warren.

"Donald come over and carry him, we have to get him to a hospital before the bite becomes infected," said Andrew.

Donald drops his beer and the shovel and walks over to him. He starts to pick Justin up and Justin then tries to bite him. They wrestle to the ground. Donald on his back and has Justin by the neck with his right hand. With his left he grabs the shovel and swings at Justin's head knocking Justin off and to the ground. Justin's on his back twitching. Warren walks over to him with long bow in hand. He takes out and arrow from his quiver and points the arrow at Justin's head. Warren hesitates for a few moments as he locks the arrow in and pulls back the string.

"Kill the fucker already Warren," said Donald getting up back onto his feet.

"We cant kill him," said Andrew.

"He tried to bite me. He needs to die before he can harm one of us," replied Donald.

"But he's friend we cant do that to him," said Andrew.

"Its either him or us," replies Donald.

"How am I suppose to explain this to Katie?" Andrew asks.

"I don't give a damn man," replies Donald.

Andrew walks off and Warren shoots his arrow right into Justin's head. Justin was dead. An eerie silence falls on the camp. Andrew was by his tent trying to wrap his head around what just happened while the other look at Justin's dead body.

"What the fuck just happened?" asked David.

Andrew walks back over to them and answers David's question for him.

"We just killed someone. That is what has happened," replied Andrew.

"Fuck him lets back up and go," said Donald.

"We cant just leave him here we have to burry him," replied Andrew.

"If you want to burry him here's the shovel you better start digging," said Donald handing Andrew the blood soaked shovel.

Andrew starts to dig the hole, but as he is digging more of them start walking towards them. Donald looks over at them and tells everyone.

"We need to hurry up and get the fuck out of here," said Donald.

The four of them quickly ran to the car. Andrew starts the car up and they drive off leaving almost everything at the camp site. The only things they had taken with them was what they had left in the car. They drove back towards Warren's house. They didn't know what was happening but they didn't intend to find out. The roads were backed up making driving harder but after awhile they made it to Warren's and David's house. They had to move quick as they saw more of those things walking around. They grabbed lots of canned food, water bottles some toilet paper. Warren grabs his rapier from his room. Donald was standing in the doorway looking at Warren as he grabbed his rapier. Andrew walks over to the window and sees more of the dead walking.

"What the hell is that for?" Donald asked.

"This is my weapon of choice. You might have a gun and be effective with that, but I'm effective with this and my bow and my rapier," replied Warren.

"That shit wont help you if you get swarmed by those things. What I have in the car will," boasted Donald.

"Guys, stop arguing and we have to hurry, before those things come banging on our door," said Andrew.

"We are moving as fast as we can," said Donald.

They finished cleaning out the house and get back into the car. They sped off, they had no idea on where to go all they could do was head north and hope not everywhere is like this. Everyone was was worrying about someone else. For Andrew it was Katie, for Warren it was his sister Lisa, for Donald it was his soon to be wife. After driving for a bit they realized that they would have to stay off the main roads and stick to back roads. The four of manage to do what it takes to survive a year.
