Ben

Ben was a merc TK had hired, he said some BS about outbreaks and protecting him. It would a good gig, for the past few weeks Ben and many other mercs sat around the casinos all day, Ben got a free room and took a girl there almost every night. When the outbreak finally happened he had Ben and every other merc secure certain areas and assets. Then they were going to loot the cities vaults, if that was it Ben would have cared less but heard things. At first he thought was caused by Chuck Green but as he soon learned that Phenotrans and Tk were the real ones involved.

He didn't mind profiting from others misdeeds but he refused to work for those who caused those 's why de was going to leave city. "Hey Ben you coming?"

"Uh yeah. Just watching out for the zeds."

"God this place is Paradise." One of the mercs said.

"But are we going to report TK to the authority?"

"Whoa buddy why would we do that?"

"He started the out-"

"I know he started the fucking outbreak so I say we just rob the city vault and use that access tunnel to leave. That will teach TK to kill people. HA." The group left and made it to their first target. The vault door was wide open and a woman was there.

"You alright?"

"Step aside Ben. Let me check."

"I'm alright but can you take me to a safe place?"

"I think we can work something out." One of the mercs took off his pants.

"What the hell dude!" Ben yelled.

"She said." Ben snapped. He raised his gun at the mercs.

"Get out." He helped the woman leave while keeping his gun on the other mercs. The woman ran away and he looked back at his 'friends'. "I'm but there are lines I will not cross."

"We're going to make you pay Ben."

"Yeah if you ever get out of the city we're going to hunt you down."

"That's why I'm sorry." He fired, a bullet entered both of their skulls.

"Tommy you guys getting through that vault? TommY!" Ben ripped off his mask and ran out of the casino. Zombies were everywhere, and he need away out. That's when he saw some hispanic man running, he was cutting off the heads of zombies with hedge trimmers.

"Hey buddy where you going." The zombies must have been to loud because he didn't seem to notice. He did however open a sewer grate and went down there. Ben opened fire, killing a dozen zombies and Ben followed him. The sewer smelled like shit but if it was going to lead him somewhere safe he can't really complain can he. As he went through the sewer he found his way out of the city.

He smiled as he walked down the road, he patted his phone. He had recorded some things he heard. It was garbled but he could bring TK to justice. Right now though he was going this diner he saw on his way to the city. After he would wait for the military he would show show them the recording. After ten minutes of walking he saw the diner. He ran to it and stopped in his tracks when he heard people yell at him.

"Stop right there. Are you infected or do you have zombrex?" A woman asked.

"NO! To both. Can I come in?"

"What the hell. Can't say no." Ben walked into the abandoned diner, to his surprise he saw the hispanic man.

"So you came from the city?" The white guy asked.

"Yeah. God, shit." Ben said.

"What is it?" A woman with a blade shield asked.

"TK hired to rob the city. I wouldn't mind it but he started the outbreak." Everyone mouths dropped.

"That bastard. Why though?" A new woman asked.

"I can explain that, Dan Rogers by the way."

"Ben."

"Tk show rating were droppings, sponsors pulling. He was selling the wasps to Phenotrans to make a hundreds."

"He killed thousands to make a few million." Dan said disgusted.

"Well he was a part of it." The Woman with a briefcase said.

"Jenny he didn't release the zombies."

"Maybe he did." The woman with the blade shield said.

"Emma...Nick back me up here."

"Dude I don't know what to think." There was an argument about whether to kill, kick or let him say.

"I'll leave." Ben said. "I may of not started the outbreak but I was involved with the death of thousands. And I'm sorry."

"You can stay." Jenny said. "You can't keep your rifle though."

"Hmm." Ben looked at his gun then back at Jenny. There was a silence but Ben gave up his gun. They still had two days and there were barely any zombies in the area. Doubt he need his gun.

"Hey I'm seeing something. They're unmarked vans."

"Can I see that?" Ben asked. Emma handed Ben a pair of binoculars and he looked out at the road and saw three vans that looked like the mercenary vans. "We're about to have a fight."

"Why would you say that?" Dan asked.

"I may have betrayed TK and the company I work with are pretty ruthless. So they're going try to kill me and wipe out any witnesses."

"HOLY SHIT!" Nick said.

"This place is defendable. There's probably no more than a dozen mercenaries but he have weapons. I just need to upgrade." Dan threw him a roll of duct tape and and a homemade shive.

"On TIR they were going to do a combo weapon special and taught us how to do it. For most of you got some cool stuff we need to make it better. We got about twenty before they get here." Emma stepped up and revved her blade shield.

"Let's kick some ass."
