Jake
"This place isn't secure enough" I said to Kain as I walked into the front room.
"Well where do you expect us to go" he asked.
"Where do you think" I asked him.
"Quit bull shitting and tell me" he said.
"The base, the army base, we're going there right now" I said.
"Why now" he asked looking at his watch.
"It's early and we can get there by daylight" I replied.
"Everyone gear up" I said to the group.
A few minutes later everybody was all packed and had guns loaded. I opened the door and we all headed out. We finally got up to the base. We saw a small flash of light, so I looked up. It was Morse code so I pulled out my flashlight and said that we were looking for a place to stay. I got a reply back saying come in, the place is empty besides me. I scanned my id card on the door and opened it, letting everybody in. Footsteps came from the opposite direction.
"What are you doing here private" I heard someone ask.
"I came here looking for a place that's safe, sir" I said.
"At ease private, start by telling me your name" the man said.
"Jake Wilson, sir" I replied.
"Private Wilson, Brian Blackwood, spec ops sniper" he said.
We shook hands and I introduced everyone to him. A few minutes later we were sitting around a huge TV screen watching the news. Surprisingly it seemed not everybody was a goner, the news was still up and it was showing locations of where survivors are in the local area. I got up and turned to face the group.
"Guys, I'm going home" I said to the group.
"Why you going home man" Wesley asked.
"I'm not going back to our apartment, I mean I'm going back home to my parents house, I need to know if their alive or not" I said to them.
"I'll go with you" Layla said.
"No, you're staying here with your brother" I replied.
I turned and walked out of the base and sat down. I pulled out a picture of me and my parents the day before I left for basic training. Tears started forming in my eyes, I just let them come out. The next day I spent walking to my house. I didn't get there until 12am of the day after. It would have only taken I think 3 hours by car and 2 by aircraft. I opened the door to my house. It was the same as I left it. When I got to the door which lead to my parents room I took a deep breath. I slowly opened it and saw them laying on the bed with a note in the middle of them. it read: Jake, if you get this note please do know that your father and I love you very much. With all this disease talk and infections everywhere we've just been staying in our room. Your father died a few minutes ago, I took some pills that I found in a cabinet, the label is scratched off but the description says that it poisons you, we thought your probably dead, but I'm sure we will all meet again in heaven. Love you. - mom.
I fell to my knees and started crying. My headset was still on my ear when I heard airstrike inbound. I pulled out a tracker and saw the missiles coming this way. I ran out of the house just as the explosion happened. When I looked up I saw Kain there.
"DUDE WHAT THE FUCK, WHY DID YOU DO THAT" I screamed at him.
"We were bombing the area, we didn't know your house was here" he said.
"BULLSHIT, MY RECORDS HAVE MY ADDRESS, MY RECORDS ARE AT THE BASE, YOU KNOW THE ADDRESS. YOU DID IT, WHY" I screamed.
"Jake, I didn't know your house was here I'm sorry" he said, sarcastically.
I pulled out my gun and aimed it at him.
"You have one second to give me a reason on why you bombed my house, or I swear to god I will kill you where you stand" I said, aiming my gun at him. I heard a gunshot and felt something go right through my chest. I fell back on the ground bleeding out. The gunman was in the chopper so I couldn't id him.
"Your home" he said turning and climbing back in the helicopter and flying away. I'm gonna die out here if nobody gets to me in time. Layla, my sweet, sweet Layla. If only you knew what your brother did to me just now, I'm sure you would kill him. Walkers started coming out of their hiding places. They all circled around me while blackness took over my vision. This isn't the end for me, I thought before losing consciousness.
A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. This chapters question is: who do you think the gunman was. This chapters choices are: (A): should Jake be wrong and this is where he dies or (B): should he end up surviving somehow. Your choice, choose wisely.
