Wake up 1
I Don't own Left 4 dead, I'm just addicted to it.
Someone shakes my shoulder,"Cody wake up! Cody wake up! We'll be late!" I heard my brother, Shaun, yelling at me,"5 more minutes mom!"
Shaun, "Ha. Ha. Very funny." he grabs his little brother,rustles his blonde hair a bit, and walks to the hotel bathroom,"Fine, I'll use all the hot water then."
Cody, "No, I'll freeze!" He runs into the bathroom and saw his brother naturally dirty blond hair, blonde at the tip, brown in the middle, and black at the root, and his Dark brown eyes with a little bit of green in it. To realize, "Hey your already clean!" His brother laughs throws him a towel and runs out. Cody just shut the door fuming and got into the morning routine.
Later
Cody looks at his brother as they leave hotel room, "We've been traveling for three whole days, how much longer till we get to the campsite?"
Shaun-"About four more hours through the back woods, before that though we need to get some extra food and supplies from the store. I still can't believe mom let me bring you with me, had to go all the way back home to get you."he said mumbling the last bit.
Cody, "I'm 12, I can do parker and camping in the wood just like a you."
Shaun sighed as he opens the door to the stairs ,"It's called Parkour, and you don't have the muscles yet to do my level of tricks."
Cody," Yeah, yeah,'oh look at me I Shaun the big hulking high schooler"
Shaun,"College Cody, my friends and I are in college." As he opened the front door to see a man, with reddish orange hair and hazel eyes, leaning on a van,and smoking a cig. Shaun waves his hand,"Hey Hector, we're ready where's Jackie and Zack?"
Hector, "Zack's asleep in the backseat and Jackie is listening to the radio." He said as he got in the car with Shaun and Cody getting in the middle seat.
almost to the mall
Car radio," This is the national broadcast station, we are here to announce a state of caution. Please remain calm, there is a very strong strain of flu that has been marked in your area. Please do not be alarm. Please wash hands, wear masks, throughout your day, and stay away from people who show flu like symptoms. If you have flu like symptoms, please go to the hospital, at once. Thank you for your time."
Everyone was quiet as Hector pulled into the malls parking lot.
Hector looks around the car, "Who coming?" Everyone but Zach raised their hand. "Zach?"
Zack coughed, "Nah, besides we need someone to stay and watch all this stuff." pointing to all the camping gear in the back.
Hector,"You sure?"
Zack, "Yeah, but hurry up ok?"
Jackie,"I'll stay too."
Zack, "No, you go get what you need I'll be fine. Now hurry, after that broadcast this place will be full of people." he sees everyone was nervous,"Don't worry I have this."He pats the bat, next to a box of tissue on the back seat.
Hector, "Alright, Be back in a bit."
Walking through the mall the group spotted a cloths store on sell.
Hector,"It get cold, in the woods at night. We should make sure we all have warm enough clothing."
Shaun runs up to the 75% off rack, "Hey! They have hoodies for 5-15 bucks." Shaun bought a red hoodie with a black flame designed strip in the middle.
Cody, "Why do they have taping supplies here?" He grabs a white one with a light blue strip and a snow design.
Jackie,"Their having a Ninja warrior tournament in a month or so, a lot of the Parkour crowd are out training together." She chooses a black hoodie with a purple gem design and getting Zach a white one with a money design(Golden coins).
Hector, "Seem like a big deal." Grabbing a green hoodie with a yellow strip and mud design.
outside the mall
A man and his friends were looking though parked cars.
,"Aye, let's check that one." He said to his three friends as they drew nearer.
,"This ones a gold mine." one said, looking at the camping supplies in the red van.
,"Wait, you guys. Look in the backseat..." The last said, a look of fear in his eyes.
Zach could not stop sneezing, 'I know my allergies are bad, but this is ridiculous.' He sneezed again, this time paused, 'green and yellow? am I getting a sinus infection?' He coughed a bit, felt a chill go up his spine. Looks out the window to see three grown men looking, staring at him with wide eyes. He moves some tissue around feeling for the bat. His hand touches the hard surface of the weapon, not even noticing his hands smear the thing with greenish yellow goo as he holds it. He eyes stay on the men whose eyes are going wider by the second, as they moved their eyes up, down, and then slowly back away. "I shouldn't have jumped to violence, maybe they just had a question."
In the supermarket.
The crowed was unbelievable, to the crew. They were happy they'd bought the supplies, early. Taking Zacks words and Jackies death glare to heart.
Even still they were having trouble moving though the crowed. People pushing, yelling, trying to steal others already bought canned goods.
Jackie slaps a mans hand away from the left side of the buggie,"This is getting ridiculous."
Shaun, "Well at least we're finally at the door." He said as a man came out of nowhere, scream at the top of his lungs, Shaun jumps and kicks him in the head.
Hector, "Let's hurry to the car-"
The crew is silent for a sec, the crowd outside was worse than inside. People were breaking into cars, stealing from buggies, going to blows, crying, screaming, leaving buggies in easy tripping distance. They run to the car, one of the only cars that tooken no damage for the panicking crowd.
Cody turns to the backseat, "Cool! Zach how'd you stop, the,people" Cody stops speaking.
Shaun finish carrying everything, "Cody what's, wrong" He looks at Zach, his face dirty with flecks of grime, eyes stuffy, tissues of green mucus around. Shaun shivered," Zach, you ok?"
Zach looked up from whipping a wet towel on his face, "Yeah, just a runny nose. My family and I went to a chinese resturant a few days ago, we came down with a little case of the sniffles."
Shaun, "You sure?"
Zach give him a deadpan look, "If I thought it was serious I'd go to the hospital, not a two week camping trip with a parkour fanatic."he says before he looks to the front when he hears Hector get in and start the car and Jackie grabbing and oranizing the map.
Shaun , "I have you know alot of people do parkour, it's one of the top sports next to weights and Sumo wrestling!"
Zach,"Oh, so if Parkour didn't exist you'd be a Sumo Wrester?" Zach grinned when Shaun leaped from his seat and got snagged by his seat belt.
Hector, "Settle down children." He calls behind him as he turned on the cars CD player.
Jackie, "Here, if I hook up my phone, we come listen to one of your books, old man Hector." She smiled at Hector's blush.
Hector, "I'm only 24, I'm not old."
At the campsite
Everyone had the tents in a little circle around a fire pit, Hector taking a picture of them all together, asking them to stand still so he could have 5 identical picture, and giving one to each.
Shaun looks over at Hector the only one not taping his hoodie and pants legs, "Hector you coming on this run with us?"
Hector pulls out a fishing pole from his supplies box, "Nah, I'm going to fish." Hector says as he sits by the edge of the water-bed, lights a cig, pulls out his audio book, and starts fishing.
Shaun, "Okay." He said as he ran behind Cody tagging him as they all run into the woods. Shaun ran from camp taking a leap on to a fallen log, before jumping onto a tree breach, then moving from breach to breach. Sometimes swing, rolling, or leaping. He smiles, 'Feels like I'm flying.', he thinks for a split second as he looks over at Jackie. She's jumping around near him, while Cody and Zach stay near the ground.
Jackie, "Shaun be careful, It's steep drop over there." She says as she spots a clearing and darts to the right to stay in the tree tops and continue their games.
Until night came and the little crew came back as smoke from a fire and the smell of fresh fish filled the air. The crew sat for a few hour sitting, eating, chasing one another, joking, and laughing.
Until Zach passes out
