Previously on Left 4 Revenge:
"Well what about you and Shara … or should I say Kalila … or Angie" he says with a snicker. "heck, I've even seen Lexy peaking your way."
"Oh I don't know. A relationship with any of them would just cause a ton of problems. But still, it would be nice…" I trail off a little.
"Yeah" he says growing quiet, then all of a sudden "Hey, there's one" he says pointing out the window. As I turn the truck my heart jumps at the sight of the truck then sinks as I see what's on top of it. A witch.
Eric's POV:
We both hop out of the truck and walk around the gas rig then stop at the back and look up at the witch, weapons drawn. It whines and cries as it looks back at us.
"If we try to shoot it, it'll probably kill one or both of us." Jack says.
"You're right" I say "we need to get creative with taking this witch out." Then an idea pops into my head as I spot a large tow truck with a ramp on the back.
…
Jack is steering the tow truck and pushing from the driver's door while I'm pushing it from behind. When the truck is close enough to the gas tank trailer, Jack steps on the brake. But not soon enough. The truck continues a little and bumps the tanker. This agitates the witch and I can see it stand up and look down at Jack who is almost directly underneath her. I have to act fast. I pull down the small ramps at the bottom of the tow truck's ramp and begin to walk my way to the Nissan 370Z, that Jack and I had decided to use earlier, without alarming the witch. It's about 200 yards away and as I get farther from them I speed up.
"Hurry up!" I hear jack yell at me, with fear in his voice.
"Try not to talk, it might set it off." I try to say back to him as quiet as I can. I know she sees him for sure because she's pacing back and forth, looking down at him. I begin to sprint toward the car. I keep thinking, Nara will kill me if something happens to that dork.
I finally make it to the car and wrench the door open, jump in and turn it on. Then I line the tow truck up in my vision and slam on the gas. The other cars on the side of the road fly by and I race as fast as I can to the tow truck. As I get closer I see Jack standing under the witch with her big clawed hand high in the air ready to strike Jack down. I shove my foot harder into the accelerator and the tachometer jumps up. The MPH marks shoot by 80, 90, 100, 110. Then I'm right there at the ramp and I feel the front of the car scrape quickly as it jumps onto the incline. Then a sudden rise in height and the witch is right in front of the hood and I strike it dead on. But in my rush to get to Jack in time, I mess up my speed and over shoot my landing area. Instead of coming down on the road on the other side of the tanker, the car flies over the sidewalk and smacks into the brick wall of an apartment complex. I lurch forward in my seat and my head bangs against the steering wheel. Pain surges up my neck and into my head but I don't black out, sadly.
It's very dark in the car and I can feel the blood streaming down my forehead. I can hear the engine of the car try feebly to continue turning. Then the bricks beside my door begin to rumble and move. I struggle to find my pistol that had been at my waist but got lost in the crash. Then, suddenly, Jacks face appears in the window and I can hear him pulling on the door against the bricks. After a short while he frees the door and offers me his hand.
"I'm okay" I say stumbling out of the car.
"You don't look okay."
"I'll be fine, just give me a minute" I try to walk off a little but I can feel my sides scream, must have broken a rib, and I'm still dizzy from my head injury. We make it a few paces from the car when it suddenly gives off a large explosion of flames and debris. we both fall quickly to the ground and cover our heads. Then I slowly rise to my feet again. I walk my way over to the tanker to examine it while Jack dusts himself off. I look around the front of the tanker and...
"Jack!"
"What? What? What is it?" He says running quickly over to me with his shotgun drawn. I point around the front of the tanker to a large building a short way down the road where three large tanker trucks just like the one we just cleared sit, clean and pristine. He looks over and I see his head hang low and his shoulder sink. I walk over to him and throw my arm over his shoulder.
"That my friend is what I call extreme irony" I say giving him a smile and a low chuckle. this sparks a laugh in him too and soon we are both stumbling over each other laughing out loud.
"The girls are never going to believe this when we tell them" He says through wheezing breaths.
"I know" i reply as we walk over to the perfect gas rigs. I pick up my weapons on the way and we each hop in a separate tanker. Well, actually, I make more of an agonizing slid into the drivers side, and I feel the sting again in my side as I settle into the drivers seat. Once we're on the road i call to Jack over the CB radio. "Techy-7, this is Big-Gun-1, do you copy, over?"
The radio crackles and then i hear Jack on the other end. "Hahaha, Techy-7, i like it. Oh, sorry. This is Techy-7, I copy you Big-Gun-1. Over."
"Good, we're going to need to stop by Radio Shackand pick up ten other CB radios, with as much broadcasting radius as we can find. Over."
"Sounds good, over"
"Yeah, just one problem, I'm a little banged up" i look down at my side which has now produced a rather large circle of blood on my shirt " i don't think, I'll be able to move fast enough to watch your back. what do you think of me pulling up to the front and covering you with the sniper rifle while you go in. i know the lay out of the store, it just goes strait back and only has a few aisles, over."
"That sounds fine. I'll be in and out fast anyways. I know where most of the stuff in the store is, over"
"Okay, good, over and out"
"Over and out" The rest of the way to the store is quiet and when we make it there I pull into the parking lot and stop the truck right in front of the store to get a good look out on it. Then Jack pulls his rig up to my driver side and hops out with his weapons and a sniper rifle. As he comes over i slide over to the passenger seat and roll down the window. he passes me the rifle and then makes his way to the store, giving me a thumbs up before he passes threw the doors. So i lean down and watch him threw the scope. I see him stand just inside and look around quickly then head off down the closest aisle. i watch him look down the shelves and then run back to the entrance and grab a cart then head back down the aisle and begin to load up boxes which i can only assume are the radios. I count as he put each in the cart, 20 in all. That's weird, must be getting back ups in case some fail, good idea. then he pushes the cart back up theaisle and starts toward another aisle. On the far side of the store there is a normal infected half way down the row and i quickly aim up and shoot it directly in the head just as Jack walks right up to that aisle. He jumps quickly from the sound of the shot and then turns and looks at me then down the aisle at the dead body, then turns back and gives me the okay sign. He goes down the aisle and I see him stop at the body and pull out his pistol and give the infected another shot to the head, as if one wasn't enough. well I guess you can never be too safe. I then think of safety and notice that he didn't bother to try to turn on the lights in the store. I'll get after him for that when he gets back. Now he's loading up what appear to be antennas \es. Then at the very edge of the sight I catch a glimpse of a shadow running across the back wall. This sets me off and i franticallystart searching the store for the shadows owner, checking on Jack every once in a while. I wish he would hurry up, he doesn't even know he's in there with something else. Then, when checkingon Jack I see the bright pair of red eyes behind him crouching in the back. I try to find a shot but Jack is in the way. I can see the eyes creeping closer to Jack and I begin to circle him madly withthe cross hairs trying to find a clean shot. He finally turns and heads up the aisle to the front but in doing so i lose sight of the Red eyes completely. And then I see the figure jump up high at Jack, right abovehis head and he doesn't hear him. BOOM! I fire but the figure continues through the air and i see Jack collapse under the sudden weight of it and fall to the floor, with the figure on top of him. and nothing moves. Then the figure jumps up again and I see jack roll off to the side and stand up. He gives the body a strong kick and it lays silent. I must have gotten him. Jack pulls out his pistol again and delivers a shot to the back of the figures head. Then he goes over to the cart and pushes it out the store, and up to the truck. I slide back to the drivers side and Jack opens the door and starts to load up the stuff from the store.
"Was it a Hunter?"
"Yeah, it was. Thanks, you really saved me out there."
"No problem. we just need to get home, i need to get patched up." i say gesturingto my side which has still been bleeding out steadily ever since the crash. Once everything is loaded up and ready we bothhead out down the road. The ride home seems very long and quiet, but finally both our rigs make it too the house and we park them in the far back end of the property. When we get out, Jack comes over and puts my arm over his shoulder and helps me make our way back up to the house.
"Wow, was that fron the car too?" he says noding at my leg.
I look down to see a large splotch of blood on the lower part of my left leg. "I guess it was." I say, continuing to limp my way to the house. We finally get there and come through the front door. Once we go in it's like a small welcome home party just for us. As soon as the door opens, Nara rushes past me to get to Jack and gives him a big hug. I'm able to stand on my own and hide my leg by the wall and my ribs under my jacket, just to postpone the attention and questions they'll draw for a little while.
"What's that?" Kalila says pointing at a deep red spot on the tongue of my left shoe. Damn it, I was hoping for a little more time than that.
"Oh, nothing, just a scratch." I lie.
Lexy calls my bluff "A scratch huh? Well then walk over and stand in front of me." I give out a sigh and manage to limp my way over to her.
"Well, let's see it." she says
I pull up my pant leg and reveal the large cut down my leg. A few of the girls cringe and cover their mouths.
"And why are you holding your side" she says looking me up and down.
I pull away the side of my jacket to show the now very large circle of blood on my side that has dripped down to my hip.
"Is there more?" she asks seriously "Don't lie to me." she says in a serious tone.
For a second i consider not telling her about my head but decide against it since she's going to find out eventually. So i push away the blood soaked hair on my head to allow her to see that size able gash on my forehead.
"Okay, then. Well go and sit down in my room and I'll get you all put together again" she says and i limp my way down the house to her room and stop at the door and look back and notice that Lexy and Angie seem to be arguing about something. Now Lexy's walking this way and Angie is wearing a frown on her cute little face. Lexy must havewon whatever they were fighting about. As she comes this way i quickly go in the room and take a seat on her bed. She comes in a few moments later with a box of medical supplies, a tub, a pitcher of warm water, a few towels and walks in and closes the door behind her.
"Eric, what am I ever going to do with you?" she says as she kneels down infront of me spreads the things out behind her and readies herself to work on me.
"I don't know, let me get gangrene and cut off my leg" i say with a chuckle.
"Don't tempt me" she says witha smile as she pulls out a pair of tweezers and brings them up to my leg. I take in a sharp breath through my teeth as she pulls a large piece of glass out of my leg. "How did you even get into this sorry state your in?" she asks.
"I tried to beat up a building... with a car." I say through a cringe as she pulls out another sliver of glass from my leg. "So what were you and Angie disagreeing about, out there."
"Oh, it was nothing really."
"no really i want to know. Help me take my mind off my leg."
"Well" she says while still working on my leg and not looking up at me "We were disputing whose turn it was to fix you up. And i told her that since she did it last time, it was now my turn."
"Hm, and why are you guys so eager to clean up blood and broken glass"
"I think you know that it's not the blood or broken glass that we're fighting to be around." She won't look up at me but i can she her cheeks turn a light shade of pink.
"Really?" I say, but i get no response. Once she finishes cleaning my leg, she bandages it up and does a twist of her waist to lean back and grab stuff out of the box. Of course I can't help nut notice the lovely pair of short shorts she's sporting right in front of me. Somehow, i don't think that happened on accident. she leans back up to me and hands me some pain pills.
"Here, this will help"
Then she does the same maneuver. "Something is bound to help" I say under my breathas I take note of the beautifully tanned and smooth skin of her legs.
"What did you say?" she asks
"Oh, it was nothing."
"Okay. Well, off with your cloths, then." she demands.
"What?" I cough on the pills and her words.
"Your shirt, take it off. I need to mend your side." she says calmly, but i think she knows the way that I took it. Maybe she even did it on purpose.
"Alright." I say and pull my shirt off over my head and lay across the bed to expose my ribs to her.
"My god, Eric, your ripped"
"Is it really that bad?" I ask lifting my head up to look at her.
"No. I mean your body. Your built." she says
"Oh, yeah, I was in kick boxing for a while, before. Really gets you into shape."
"I'll say" she says running her fingers over my abs and up my chest"
I wait a while and then ask "Did you forget something" nodding toward my injured side.
"Oh, right. Sorry" she says quickly hastening herself with fixing me. she keeps her eyes away from mine but i can see her face turn an even brighter shade of pink. She continues to clean my side and then hauls me up to wrap it tightly. Once she's done there she takes a wet towel to my head and begins to clean, but she still refuses to meet my gaze as i stare into her eyes just inches away and right above mine. Finally she finishes and wraps my head up lightly and goes to turn and retrieve something from the box, but as she turns back her shoe slips in some water on the floor from the towels and she falls into my lap and knocks me half flat on the bed. Now her intense blue and green eye are staring right into mine and her breath is whispering across my lips. I can feel her warmth and smell her all around me. She close enough that i can feel her heart beat fast and hard against my chest. I can feel her hands holding around my arms. Then i feel her lean deeper into me and all we do is watch each others eyes. her lips barely brush against mine and i can feel them quiver softly and her heart beat jump again. "Eric" she softly whispers to my name to me.
The click of the doornob being turned instantly pulls her out of the trnce that had encased us both and she turns to the box of supplies just as Angie appears in the door "Are you finished patching up in there" she asks in a harsh tone "Diners ready"
"Yeah, yeah, we'll be right there." Lexy manages to say weakly. Lexy stands up and faces the door as Angie walks away, After a while i rise up quietly and go to stand right behind her. Then she turns and looks at me with surpriseat how close i am. She steps forward to me and keeps her eyes down on my feet, and raises a hand to run gently along the bandages on my side and up my chest to rest on top of my beating heart. she leans in close to me and pushes her head into my chest and under my chin, then she whispers to me "Be more careful next time, I can only mend so much" her words breathsoftly against my skin and i can feel the cold wetness of a tear on my flesh, she kisses my chest just above my heart, then rubs her cheek against me, and breaks away quietly without looking up and walks out the door.
