Chapter 2 Whats going on?

It was Bill from across the street and he looked really fucked up. It looked like something had taken a huge chunk out of his shoulder and blood was smeared all over his face and he had something meaty hanging out of his mouth. For a split second I noticed the other body on the ground was that of his girlfriend Susie, Sally or something like that. I stood there dumb founded until with a grunt from Bill as he jumped to his feet and started to run at me in the front door. Out of pure luck I think I stepped back and slammed the door shut just as he came to it. I heard a loud crashing sound as he slammed into the door.

He stared to pond on the door or I guess you could say wail away at it with his entire body. And for once I had to admit that my wife was right in installing that solid oak door. I put my body against it and rammed the dead bolt home as well as hooked up the chain for what good that would do. I slowly backed away keeping an eye on the door when I bumped into the dog who was growling. I put my hand on its head in a effort to either calm him or me down. I didn't know witch. I looked over to the coffee table and saw my cell there. I almost jumped all the way across the room in my effort to get it.

I dialed 911 as fast as I could and held the phone up to my ear. All I got was all lines are busy please try back latter. I through the phone onto the couch and started to look around for the home phone. Where the hell did I put it. I started to panic. Then I remembered on the floor by the couch. I get on my knees and start to look. When I saw it half way under the couch I grab for it and stand up. I look out the front window and see Susie or what ever her name sit up in the yard. Half her face was missing and she was looking around in pale vacant eyes. And then the pounding on the front door reminded me of Bill.

I ducted down from the window and tried 911 again. This time I got a ring.

"This is 911 where is your location?" came a voice over the phone. And I don't think I have ever been more happy to here a cops voice before.

Then the voice came again asking the same question. I snapped out of my little mini trance and started to speak fast.

"Yea! This is Kyle Weathers at 453 Webster st" I about yelled into the phone which caused Bill to start to pound even harder.

"Sir we will get to you as soon as we can If you are not in immediate danger stay where you are." came the female voice on the other side.

I took one look at the door and yelled "Yea! I'm in immediate danger. The guy across the street just ate his girlfriend and is try to get in my house to eat me."

"Is he in the house now sir?" The voice came back over the line with a hint of panic behind it.

"No hes not in the fucking house!" I yelled "He's at the front door trying to pound his way in."

"Is your door secured from breaking sir?" came the voice.

I was a little taken back by this line of questioning and decided to answer. "Yea! It's a heavy oak door my wife had me install a couple of years ago."

"Sir! Do you have any weapons in the house?" Came the reply.

I thought for a minute. "Yea! I have a 9 mm and an 22 rifle in my closet." I was thinking to myself what the fuck is going on.

"Sir you need to retrieve those weapons load them and keep them close until we can get to you."

"What do you mean when we get to you?" I was getting pissed. "I need you here now!"

There was a pause over the phone and then "Sir haven't you been watching the news?"

This made me start to think about the news I heard before I turned the TV off. "What news are you talking about?"

There was another pause over the phone. "Sir the whole country is under marshal law until the riots are put down."

"What fucking riots? All I got is some nut case trying to eat me. I need help." I was bordering on desperation now.

"Sir troops and police are working their way through town even as we speak and will get to you when they can. I suggest that you lock yourself in another room stay quiet and if any of the infected get in shoot them in the head. Good bye sir and good luck." with that the phone went dead on the other end.

I was staring at the front door and could see that Susie or what ever her name was had joined Bill at the door and was pounding on it as well. The phone fell from my hand and hit the floor breaking apart. I didn't notice because only one thing was going though my head. "If any of the infected get in shoot them in the head." At this point I did shit my pants.
