July 10th 2016

"I can't believe you talked me into this" Ben said as he and Melania walked down one of the streets of Manhattan.

"What's the matter, Ben?" Melania asked as she walked Comanche on his leash "It's a beautiful night out, what's the harm in coming out and enjoying it? Besides you haven't been out of the apartment in weeks; you need some fresh air"

"If I want fresh air, I'll stick my head out the window" Ben grumbled with his red hoodie over his head.

"Oh, very funny, Mr. Sunshine" Melania said sarcastically, "I don't understand why you didn't wanna come out"

"I told you already, Mel" Ben began "my friends think I'm dead and I want it to stay that way, if I was to come out in public…"

"You think they might see you?" Melania finished for him.

"Yea" Ben said nodding his head slightly.

"Ben, there are millions of people in the city what are the odds that anyone in this city is going to run into an old friend or someone they know?" Melania asked.

"With my luck, very likely"

"Oh, stop being so negative and just enjoy this beautiful night" Melania said looking up at the stars.

While she wasn't looking, Ben couldn't help but stare at her; her shinning emerald green eyes and her beautiful brown hair that made the light from the moon reflect off it causing a glow around her.

"It's not the only beautiful thing around here" Ben thought to himself with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mel" a voice behind the two of them said and they both turned to see a Hispanic guy around nineteen with short black hair and dark brown eyes with a smug look on his face.

Ben looked over to Melania and he could see some anger on her face at the sight of this guy as well as a hint of fear in her eyes, giving Ben the impression that she knew this guy.

"Who's this punk, Mel?" Ben asked.

"What do you want, David?" Melania asked, not even hearing Ben's question.

"Oh, not much" He answered with a shrug of his shoulders with a smirk on his face as his eyes trailed over Melania, "It's a beautiful night and I just happened to run into a beautiful woman"

"Flattering will get you nowhere" Melania said crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes at him, "now beat it"

"I'm sorry, I thought this was a free country and that people can come and go as they please" David said with some attitude as he walked closer to her, but was stopped by Comanche who stood protectively in front of her and barked fiercely at him, causing David to jump in surprise as he took a step back.

"I see you still have the mutt" David said with a sneer.

Comanche growled darkly at him, "He's not a mutt! You never like Comanche any way, you always thought he was a flea bag" Melania defended.

David then looked towards Ben, "I see you got a new man" he looked him up and down with a deadpan look, "honestly, Mel, this was the best you could do?"

Ben's fists clenched tightly. He really didn't like this guy; the way he's eyeballing Melania, the way he's speaking to her, insulting Comanche and now he's ripping on him. David was really making Ben's blood boil.

"Ben is my friend, David" Melania stepped in, "he's more of gentleman then you ever were and he has something you don't"

"Oh, yea?" David asked, crossing his arms, "Like what?"

"A brain and he actually uses it" Melania said as she and Ben turned to leave, but David grabbed Melania's arm and forced her to face him.

"You think you talk to me like that?" he growled as he gripped both of her arms and held them tightly, "Nobody talks to me like that"

Comanche was barking and growling him, "Shut up, you mutt!" he shouted as he kicked Comanche square in the face, causing him to whimper.

"Hey!" Ben said as he grabbed David's arm, "What is your problem, punk?"

"You stay out of this, scar face" David said with a sneer as he pushed Ben off him and knocked him back into a parked car, "and as for you" he glared at Melania harshly, causing her to shrink back in fear, "You're coming with me to teach you a lesson"

"Let me go!" Melania shouted as she tried to break out of his grip, but David just smacked her across the face, "You're just like your dog, Mel; you never shut up"

He began to drag her back down the street, but Ben grabbed his wrist tightly, "You keep your hands off her" Ben growled.

"Yea and what are you gonna do about it scar face?" David challenged as he shoved Melania aside and stood in front of Ben, just a few inches taller than him.

Ben narrowed his eyes and in a flash, his fist connected to David's jaw and he flew backwards into a fire hydrant.

Ben glared down at him before he turned back to Melania, who was checking on Comanche, "You okay?" he asked.

Melania stood up, "I'm fine, thanks" Melania said as she brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"What was that you were saying before about there being millions of people in the city and the odds of running into someone you k—"

Melania cut him off, "You zip it and keep walking" she said as she made a motion across her face and as Ben raised his hands up in mock defense as they continued walking down the sidewalk.

After a few more minutes of walking, Ben brought up something Melania really wished he didn't, "So…what's the beef between you and that David guy?"

Melania got a shocked look on her face as she looked over to him, she sighed knowing that this would happen, "Ben…" she began, but stopped when they noticed red and black droplets falling from the sky. Comanche then started to growl in a deep growl, not liking what he was seeing.

"What the…?" Ben asked in confusion.

Then, when the droplets landed on some people, they started screaming and then turned into red and black creatures.

"Oh, my god" Melania said in fear, "Ben, what's going on?"

"I have no idea" Ben said as he and Melania backed up.

Then one of the droplets landed on Melania's jean jacket and it began to spread over her, "AH!" she screamed, "get it off! Get it off!"

Ben then grabbed her jacket and tore it off her as he through it on the ground. The symbiot consumed her entire jacket.

"We need to get out of here" Ben said as he grabbed Melania's hand and they both began to run back down the street.

As they were running, they skidded to a stop when some of the infected people appeared in front of them.

"Can't go forward…" Ben began as they turned back around to run, only to see more carnage people.

"Can't go back" Melania said in fear as she clutched Ben's arm.

Melania and Ben were now surrounded by the carnage people, who were closing in on them.

"This is not good…so not good" Melania said as they carnage people closed in on them both.
