Alicia Emelia Anderson POV

It has been a couple months now since I arrived in Baltimore and found a place to stay. Not only did I find that, but I found people who I know would call my family. I had come to know that Tom's wife had died due to the Red Flu a couple of weeks ago. The kids had taken it hard, but we helped them through it. I took care of them as my little brother and sister. We have been through a lot the last few months, but for me it has been worth all of it. Occasionally we were attacked by rebels searching for a place to stay. I had been injured quite a few times, but it has all been worth it because I got to protect Sam, Ashley and Jed.

For Jed it took some time to warm up to me, but that's okay I guess. Who would trust a stranger that barged into their 'home'. But eventually after having risked my life for them quite a few times he had come to trust me. Whenever there was something wrong Jed would go and hide the kids and then come to help me, while I immediately walked into the gunfire quite some times. He had even saved me from almost dying which I am eternally grateful for. It was also a good thing that he knew a few medical things, because I was injured several times. And me being me would be to stubborn to take care of my wounds properly.

We had a few encounters with people dressed as Navy. Jed had almost killed himself during one of those moments thinking that his son Tom Chandler had arrived. That was the moment that Jed and I realised that we could not trust anyone at all anymore.

Every day I would take a walk around the street looking if there were any chances. If something was wrong. Just to make sure that we were all still safe in the house. And that is what I was doing at this exact moment. Jed and the kids were safely in the house and I did my round. With my gun hidden under my jacket I walked towards the end of the street when I suddenly heard voices. ''They are coming soon. Miss Granderson ordered another perimeter check for the sick. If it is true what they said they have the cure…'' I didn't take a second longer to listen, I turned around and ran back to the house. Bursting into the house Jed looked startled and stood up when he saw my worried face. ''Get the children now. They are coming to search the houses. I won't be able to hold all of them off they are with too many'' I said in a hurry. Jed ran up the stairs to get the kids. The moment they came down we left the house. Jed carrying Sam who has been infected with the Red Flu. I walked ahead of them checking every corner before gesturing that it was safe.

Tom Chandler POV

We had set course to Baltimore the moment Doctor Rachel Scott had made the cure and the vaccine. The entire crew had already been vaccinated now It was just waiting for the moment we arrive in Baltimore. We had gotten word on Amy Granderson whom is running everything in Baltimore at the moment. We heard something about a threat, he is call Thorwald. So I decided to take precautions by first checking everything out with the tac-team.

Jeter, Cruz, Green, Burk, Miller, Tex, Bivas and Wolf were preparing the rib and everything to go on land the moment we arrived in Baltimore. None of us knows if our family is still alive. Expect for Wolf, he knows that his family most likely has died, because he left Australia the moment the Red Flu hit there hard.

The moment we set foot on the ground three black SUV's arrived. Out of the second SUV stepped none other than Amy Granderson. She walked towards us. ''Ahh Captain Chandler it is an absolute honour to meet you'' she said while shaking my hand. I looked her up and down. ''The pleasure is all mine ma'am'' I said. I turned around to my team. ''Please meet my team.'' I said. After introductions were made we followed her towards Avocet. I ordered Green and Burk to check everything out along with Cruz and Tex. While Wolf and Bivas stayed with me. ''Is there any way we can find out if our families are here? Last I heard was that my father was in the area'' I asked Granderson while looking at her. She looked up at me and asked me to follow her. We entered a room where there was radio machines. ''Please do what you have to do. If there is anything you need just ask me.'' She said and then walked out of the room leaving us alone.

After trying to contact our families for a while with no luck, Danny contacted me. ''Sir something is definitely not right here. They are killing the sick and burning them so that they can get electricity for the entire city.'' He told me over the radio. I looked up in shock. We all thought that Amy Granderson was helping the sick. ''Okay we are on our way towards you now. Stay put and don't attract to much of attention'' I ordered before signalling Wolf and Bivas to follow me.

The moment we hit the street we looked around us cautious, not wanting to attract any unwanted attention. When we turned the corner I looked up in shock at what I saw in front of me causing me to stop immediately, Wolf and Bivas following me but each having their gun ready. ''Stay where you are right now or I will shoot you!'' a female voice shouted at us.
