Left 4 Dead: We came Back
Episode 1: Evacuation from San Francisco and Return
Louis' POV
"All survivors, proceed in an orderly line to the evacuation zone! You must be examined before you can board the aircraft!"
"Come on now!"
We had finally found a city still standing. San Francisco was still holding on against the infection, but the infected were about to overrun the border patrols. In a desperate attempt at survival, survivors were being evacuated from the city to Honolulu, where the virus had not yet reached.
"Alright you 3, come on!" one soldier said.
Francis and I got through without trouble, but they instead of letting Zoey through, they held her back.
"Miss, I'm sorry, but we can't let you through. That wound is likely infected. Doc!"
A doctor came over to Zoey and started looking at a wound she had suffered from an old nail. Then he looked and said something shocking.
"Sirs, I'm afraid that even though her records state her as immune, that this wound is infected with a virus that is likely able to infect even immunes. She will need to remain here at the airport."
"Then we'll stay with her." I said.
"Sirs, you need to go!"
"MOVE IT! THE INFECTED BROKE THROUGH, WE NEED TO GET THE PLANES AIRBORNE NOW!" one of the soldiers yelled.
"EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN CHECKED, GET ON THE PLANES, EVERYONE ELSE, GET INTO AN ORDERLY LINE. ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN'T BOARD, EITHER FLEE OR HELP HOLD EM OFF!"
Zoey then did something insane. Along with the survivors who couldn't board, she grabbed an assault rifle and started firing at the undead as they swarmed up the escalator and stairs.
"ZOEY!" I yelled.
"GO, WE'LL BE FINE!" she yelled back.
Francis grabbed me, and started pulling me towards the plane as the last survivors were checked and sent to the planes.
"THAT'S EVERYONE, GO GO GO!"
As we pulled out, we saw Zoey and the others, still bravely firing at the infected as the soldiers fled on their helicopters.
"ZOEY!"

"Alright, listen up and listen good!" Captain Hudson said. "San Francisco lies right in front of us! It's time we finally retake the city from the undead menace!"
"What's the plan sir?" McElhaney said.
"Our objective is take back San Francisco International, located south of the city, while the 7th army lands on the beaches with our heavy armor. The 4th will hit the Ports in Oakland to establish a beachhead for later reconquest of the American Mainland. From there, we'll spread out and clear the city before we seal up the border walls! Am I understood!?"
"SIR YES SIR!"
Zoey…We'll make it up to you, if you're still out there, we'll find you…
