Chapter 10
"I don't know that much, young lady." He said, the box suddenly lighting with ember.
"Are we ever going to get out of here?" Jesse said, eyes wide.
"You will, if you can find the stone aircraft. It's way on the other side of this lot. I've gotten there, I just haven't left. I guess I have a likeness for the undead." The general cackled.
"How many waves does it take to make it there?" Jake asked.
"You oughta make it to twelve, but it may take twenty." The general added.
Carly scooted into the back corner of the box, sweating.
"I know." She stammered. "I know what happened."
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Reena screamed. "We could have known so much!"
"The pilot that was chosen had a contract with the undead. If he brought them young ones, he would not be killed. When he was hired as our pilot, he purposefully crash landed the plane right here. I remember overhearing it as the plane went down. I was last to be knocked out." Carly said, tears falling down her face slowly.
Brandon sat down next to her in attempt to comfort her.
No one spoke.
"Damn pilot, you can't trust anybody these days." The general scowled, stomping on his cigarette.
"Well, it's been nice talking to you, but I need to get back upstairs." John said, pushing up the lid of the box and leaving.
"John!" Carly cried, but he slammed the lid.
"Carly, this is unrelated, but you can't love two boys at once." Jake said, looking her right in the eye.
"Yeah, remember Twilight? How well did that work out for Bella?" Reena asked.
"What's Twilight? Is it a time of night that I never see?" The general said.
"You don't even want to know what it is." Jesse grumbled. "It's disgusting."
"Okay." Carly said. "But don't pressure me or anything."
She got out of the box and took a gun, since the round wouldn't end until all the zombies were gone.
"When this round is over," The general spoke. "Come to me. The next few rounds won't be easy, and I know this terrain."
"Thanks, but so does John." Jake remarked, lifting this lid with his fingers.
"Just trust me." The general said. "You can do that, can't you?"
