I do not own any of the Chicago Fire characters nor do I own the walking dead universe.
WARNING: Walking dead universe, violence included!
Walkers were swarming through the Chicago streets and Matthew Casey nodded at Kelly Severide as they grabbed their helmets from the floor and grabbed their axes.
''Ready?''
Matthew nodded and placed the helmet on his head as Severide kicked the backdoor of the firehouse open. Loud growls as the walkers were coming their way and Matt raised his axe, slamming it down into the head of the walker in front of him. The female walker fell to the ground, dark blood coming from her head as she fell into the grass.
Matt wiped his sleeve over his forehead where the blood had been dripping over him. Severide nodded at him; ''Nice hit.''
''That made my counter twenty-four, behind you!''
Severide turned around, pushing the walker away and two other people joined them with their rifles.
''We have to get out of the city! Atlanta should be safe!'', Shay yelled as she shot the walked in the head that appeared behind Severide. Dawson kicked one of the walkers away before shooting the walker in the head.
''You are only attracting more walkers!'', Kelly yelled as they ran towards the fire truck, parked at the end of the block.
''We can't fight them all.''
''You don't have to.'', a hoarse voice whispered and Cruz came outside and the group of survivors backed off as he was bitten when Boden turned.
''I will distract them. Go!''
Matthew nodded at the man, blood streaming from the large hole in his upper arm and Cruz lifted the pistol, shooting in the air as the walkers kept approaching them.
''Go!''
The four ran away, the man upfront as they kept hitting the walkers away with their axes and the EMT's followed them with their rifles, pushing the walkers back.
''We are going to make it!''
Casey pulled the door open he usually got in and he moved to the other side, to the drivers chair where walkers scratched the window, growling and begging for his flesh.
''Matt!'', Gabriela called for his help as she was trying to close the door but one of the infected was between it. Matt pulled her back and Kelly grabbed her arm, pulling her into the cabin. With a harsh kick Matt's heavy boot hit the walker in the face and he closed the door and sat back into the driver's seat.
''Do you know to drive one of the these?'', Kelly asked as he hadn't seen Matt driving it for years.
Shay pulled the last door shut and Matt locked the truck from the inside.
''We will find out soon enough.'' He started the truck and it came to life with a loud roaring and immediately Matt's blooded boot hit the gas pedal and they drove away, taking a lot of walkers down in the process. A few blocks further Matt stopped the truck again.
''Casey, this is not the time to get some T-shirts.'', Shay shook her head as they stopped in front of his house.
''I have something better than T-shirts.''
The blonde lieutenant jumped out of the car, axing two zombies away and running into his house, only to drops his keys near the door. A walker came up the steps and Dawson wanted to shoot the walker from the window she opened but Kelly pulled her back again and while the walker stretched his hand out, Matt grabbed the keys, sticking it into the walkers lobe and the undead fell to the ground. Matt disappeared in the house while walkers were swarming near the front door.
''He won't be able to use the front door.'', Shay mumbled but suddenly a chair came crashing through the living room window and Matt jumped out, carrying a large bag and he ran towards the truck, getting in again, throwing the bag into the cabin.
''What is this?''
Shay slowly zipped the bag open, looking at the cans stashed in.
''Something I always had in my basement.''
''Are you some doomsday prepper?'', Dawson said, surprised.
''Well, it is perfect now.'' , he said and they drove away again, zombies walking in front of the truck.
Gabriela crawled back to the front and sat down in Casey's usual seat.
''Do you think it will all be better in Atlanta?''
''I don't know, but there is nothing left here.''
Slowly Matt looked around at the ravaged buildings and the broken infrastructure as walkers were still wandering in the streets. Two days ago, everything had been normal but as the infection had already spread through Illinois, the army hadn't even tried to safe them. They had been safe in firehouse 51 for a few days until it turned out that Boden was infected and he had bitten the others.
They reached the highway and Matt looked at the large jam in front of off the ramp to get out of Chicago.
''What are you doing?'', Gabriela yelled as Matt suddenly turned the wheel.
''We are leaving Chicago!'' Matt turned the large fire truck onto the actual exit to Chicago instead of the ramp to enter the highway and they drove out of Chicago on the wrong side, looking at the large jam of cars on the other side of the highway.
''So, Atlanta it is.'', Severide sighed in the back of the truck and Matt looked in the camera functioning as a rearview mirror one last time, to see the skyline of Chicago disappearing, hoping for a safer place to survive.
NOTE: This is what happens when you draw Chicago Fire fan art while watching the walking dead... anyway, I hope you liked it! I have to admit I had a lot of fun writing it! Kind of gave me a Left 4 Dead idea as well. Needless to say...the Chicago fire fan art didn't really get finished.
For now it is just this one part, but if you like it, please leave a review and it might get expanded!
