Chapter 4: Creating a Diversion
Stan Smith and the others were determine to survive the onslaught of zombies coming their way.
"I think those zombies deserve some old fashion American cowboy action" laughed Stan.
Stan took the grenade he was given by a Colombian soldier and threw it in the midst of the zombies outside to which the grenade exploded all the zombies into pieces.
"Come on!" cried Bill as he and the others fired their weapons at the other zombies that were coming out of the jungle.
"They just keep on coming!" cried Francis.
"Just keep on firing!" cried Louis.
As the Colombian General, his remaining soldiers, along with Bill, Stan and the others continued to fight, a few helicopters that were meant to rescue them came right on into the scene. Some soldiers onboard the helicopters began to fire at the zombies below.
"About time!" cried Stan as the helicopters made their way to the outpost.
The helicopters came swooping down blazing firing at the oncoming zombies to which Stan, Bill and the Colombian General provided cover for the others who were running toward the helicopters as more zombies continued to come their way.
"Come amigos, we have to leave now!" cried the Colombian General.
"You heard him!" cried Stan.
The trio ended up heading toward the helicopters to which the zombies were coming right into the outpost in overrunning it. One of the zombies tried to grab Bill's leg as he was trying to hang onto the helicopter as it was taking off. Stan immediately shot the zombie dead in its tracks along with a few others that were out to get Bill.
"Ha, take that!" laughed Stan.
As everyone felt somewhat of a relief as the helicopters were lifting up in the air and flying to safety, a few jets passed by as they were likely going to bomb the place into rubble. Indeed the jets released the bombs onto the zombies down below whom were typically mindlessly wondering about. Everyone who escaped the zombie onslaught could see the destruction the zombies had caused along with the virus the Colombian rebels had created turned into a major nightmare.
"Well, it wasn't how we planned it, but it was nonetheless a job well done, we can just say the Colombian rebels instigated a massacre of civilians and we cleared it up" said Bill.
"You guys are not going to tell everyone that we fought against actual zombies?" asked Stan to which everyone began to laugh at Stan, "What's so funny? It's the truth!"
"Stan, Stan, Stan, you have to learn more about how mini-department here in the same Company, no one's going to believe this report" said Bill.
"He's right, Louis wrote a report like what you said to our supervisor and he flat out laughed at him" said Francis.
"Great, just bringing up that humiliation again" sighed Louis as he shook his head.
"Well, I am not going to cave like the way you four caved" said Stan, "the truth must be revealed that these undead are among us!"
Stan was perplexed at this form of sentiment as he headed back to the CIA headquarters where Deputy Director Bullock was awaiting his report.
"Stan, I'm waiting for that report on your job in Colombia" said Bullock on the inner comm.
"Will bring it in before the end of the day sir" replied Stan.
Indeed as the end of the day approached, Stan had to do what Bill encouraged him to write a report up which didn't include the zombies that he fought, though he actually did fight the zombie onslaught. Stan was quite anxious to get this over with to which he handed his report over to Bullock to which Bullock skimmed the report a little bit.
"Hmm, sounds like those Colombian rebels almost outnumbered you from ten to one" said Bullock.
"Hey, we did one heck of a job when we bombed them into pieces" laughed Stan.
"Stan, you look worried, are these the statements of this report are true and accurate?" asked Bullock.
"Sir, I have to tell you something" said Stan to which he wanted to make sure no one else was eavesdropping, "what if let's say hypothetically I was lying to you, and that we fought zombies instead, hmm?"
"That would be for something out of Hollywood" continued Bullock, "but since you didn't lie in your report, there's nothing else for me to say about it, but keep up the good work."
"Yea" said Stan.
Stan felt uneasy about lying to Bullock about his experience in Colombia, even though in truth Bullock would have laughed at Stan. The CIA agent sat at his desk and filed the last paper before he headed on home. As he got into his van to head off, he couldn't help wonder why Bullock, Bill and the others keep it a secret. As the van heads off from the CIA headquarters, the scene ends from there.
