Author's Note: Well, this is chapter 10, enjoy :D

And also, If I don't manage to get all the back-stories in Unsecured. Then, I will publish them in "Unexpected Scenarios" as a separate chapter containing all the missing backstories that I might miss.

Anyways, this chapter takes place immediately after chapter 9. On the helicopter.

Nobody's POV

(Time – 6:00 PM)

The sun had now pasted and in it's place, a nice beautiful moon is there. The full moon shines on the ocean as it reflects the rays back at the moon. In the distance, a wolf howling a song can be heard. What it's howling...is anyone's guess. Over an ocean, a helicopter can be seen flying towards land.

Ryan's POV

I was in a chopper, polishing my revolvers. Trujillo was sitting across from me. While I was polishing, I told Trujillo what's been going on lately. Joseph, Miles, and the girls were all sleeping. Whether or not Travis was sleeping, I couldn't tell...His dark sunglasses were covering his eyes.

When I was halfway done telling Trujillo everything, the chopper landed. Trujillo got up and said, "You could tell me the rest of your adventure later, Come to the meeting house for debriefing. And that's an order." Everyone else got up to leave. I placed my guns back in my satchel as I left the chopper too.

Fort Red Night...hasn't changed a bit since I had left. Everything looked overall unchanged. By the entrance, I saw Jason, and it looked like he was fully healed from his injuries from the stadium. We engaged in a little brotherly hug, then he says, "What going on, bro?"

I replied, "...it's sorta of a long story, I'll tell you all about it if you go to the meeting house. I'm gonna get a debriefing."

"Alright, I'll be there. See ya later." He walks away, waving good-bye over his shoulder. A question emerged in my head that I wanted to ask him, but it was too late, he was already long gone.

As I was making my way to the meeting house (while getting cheers from fellow survivors that stayed in the outpost), I couldn't help but feel like as if someone or something was watching me from the outskirts of the fort. I looked towards the forest that surrounded the military outpost and...for about a split-second, I think I saw a pair of red eyes staring back at me (?). Could that be Rosa? Or someone else? Or was it just my imagination? Shortly after that, I had a strange, sudden desire to go into the forest...but I knew couldn't go yet, I had the debriefing to go to.

At the debriefing, The survivors I rescued was there and so was Trujillo and Jason. Jerry, for some reason, wasn't (?). Jerry was someone I expected to be at the debriefing. Where is he? And why isn't he here?

Anyways, The debriefing went by smoothly. I told Trujillo and Jason what happened. The signaled survivors told their side of the story. And right when I thought the debriefing was over, Trujillo ushered me over to him. He looked around making sure nobody else was around. Then, he told me about the "The Red Claw Incident".

By the time Trujillo was done telling me what happened, I felt like as if a firecracker was gonna go off in my stomach. Then before I realized what I was doing, I was shouting.

"Why the Fuck didn't you go after her?"

"Because my best friend was fatally injured!"

"If you haven't forgotten, So was Rosa! You just told me that you saw her clutching her chest in pain."

"Well, Thanks to Rosa, It's possible that Jerry could be infected!"

Then, I just walked out the tent angrily. I couldn't think of a counter-argument to that statement. I had to find Rosa, check if she's alright. I went to the medical tent to retrieve a first-aid kit. As I was getting a kit, I found an audio diary (Labeled, "Dr. Price: Missing & Stolen.") hidden behind some first-aid kits, It contained a conversation between a doctor and a nurse.

"Doctor, have you seen Patient 151?"

"151? That's Jerry. Nope, Haven't seen him. Why? Is something wrong?"

"Yes, He's missing. One minute he's on the bed the next he's gone."

"What? If that's the case then don't say a word of it to Trujillo. Who knows what would happen if he heard."

"And also doctor, we're missing several first-aid kits."

"What? Missing kits too? *sigh* Don't tell Trujillo about that too.

"Alright, I'm locking it in the vault."

"...the vault, Nurse Owen?"

"Yeah, the vault. I got it from an old show. It means-"

That was all I heard before their voices slowly faded away into static. But that was some nice info I just heard there. Jerry's missing (?). Where did he go? Where would he go? And the the missing kits (?). I had one more thing I might need in case I needed to defend myself.

I went to my own tent and dug into my satchel and eventually found it. The Silver Bull. I also took about 24 extra bullets just in case and attached a suppressor to it. As I walked out my tent, I got that feeling again. Someone was watching me again. I looked behind me and saw some bushes rustling. I fired a bullet into it and nothing. Not a screech or a death cry or anything rang through the air. What is going on?

I turned on the flashlight that was attached to the bull and before I walked into the forest, I heard someone calling my name. It was Joseph. He was outside his tent smoking. Each of the signaled survivors got their own tent to sleep in.

"Ryan, out for a night time stroll, I see."

"You could say that..."

"What do you mean by that?", I explained to him what happened to Rosa and Jerry.

"Oh...well, good luck. If your not back within twenty minutes, then I'll send Felix after you, alright?"

"Okay...Wait, Why can't you come instead of sending Felix?"

"Because my ak's flashlight is broken right now. And there is no way I'm going inside some god forsaken forest. Even if it was to help you."

"Alright then." Why was he scared of the dark? He's a grown man.

I walked past his tent and made my way towards the stone bridge that led to the forest. Before I left the fort grounds, I noticed there was a light coming from a tent just outside of the fort exit. And my curiosity got the better of me. I walked on in. And found that this was Tracy's tent.

Tracy was just inside looking at this kind of book by flashlight.

"Hi Tracy. What are you looking at?" I asked.

"A scrapbook. It was made before the green flu came. I have kept it ever since." I took a glimpse of several of the pictures in her book. Most of these pictures were taken at some party.

"You look so happy in these pictures..." I said.

"Yeah, These pictures were taken right when the infection came to an office party of mine."

"Mind if you tell me about it next time?"

"Okay."

"Well, good night Tracy."

"You too, Ryan."

Two days after First infection...

Nobody's POV

(Time – 7:30 PM)

Things were looking rather calm. In a office building, the building was having an office party to celebrate it's 20th anniversary. Every where in the party, the workers were having a good time. There was upbeat music playing. They even had enough money to hire a DJ. Among the party was a young lady, It was Tracy, she was just sitting down on a seat drinking a glass bottle of cola.

Tracy was just about to leave the party when her boss joins her.

"Miss Evans? Where do you think your going? The night is still young, stay, and enjoy the party."

"No, I can't. I have be somewhere." She lied. She just didn't want to be there because she was having fun but it disappeared as soon as she noticed he was getting looks from her co-worker, Austin Rivers.

"What? At night? I find that hard to believe. C'mon...y'know, I hear that Mr. Rivers over there has a crush on you." He pointed at Austin.

"No, I don't believe in office romances. And plus, I hear that he smokes. Sorry Sir, but I'm leaving."

"But Miss Evans..."

But she left and went out the backdoor without another word. As she left, she heard a wolf howling in the city somewhere. She didn't know it but she was being followed by Austin. Tracy also absentmindedly held the empty bottle of cola that she was drinking during the party. She was almost home when she heard something behind her back.

"Austin...I know its you. Stop following me."

Austin came out of the shadows of a dumpster (cigarette in mouth, of course) and said, "Hi, Tracy."

"Austin, don't give me that crap. I know you've been following me for the past five minutes."

"Well, I-" but he didn't finish that sentence because he started having a coughing fit. His cigarette drops on the floor. And Tracy immediately became somewhat concerned.

"Austin? Are you okay?"

He couldn't answer and he just continued coughing. Then, his tongue came out and started extending. Tracy screams as she saw that Austin started growing warts on his face and arms. When it looked like he was done changing, He puts his arms up to his face and behind the ugly warts, he was shocked.

"Tracy...Don't worry. I'm still the same person."

Was what he was trying to say. But between each words was a fit of coughs. Austin stops talking and slowly walked towards Tracy. She screams and realized that she still had the glass bottle. She takes the bottle by the neck and smashes the bottle right on Austin's head. Glass scatters everywhere. Some of them had small traces of blood on them.

Austin screams through his coughing as Tracy ran the rest of the way home. Then as the days past, Austin slowly starts losing his mind except for one thing remained. Revenge. Over the next few days, he follows Tracy while covering his mouth, so he wouldn't give his position away. Then soon about two weeks after his transformation, he caught Tracy with her guard down.

Author's Note: Well, That's Chapter 10. Hope you enjoyed it.

The profiles will be updated and almost all of the character's status will be updated.

And also, I will be going through the previous chapters (Chapters 2,4,5,6,7, and 8) to fix typos, corrections, and possibly fill in a few gaps here and there.

And that's pretty much it. See ya next time.
