Covert Affairs, Eureka, Glee, Saving Grace, Reba, Warehouse 13, YouTube, Global Dynamics, and the rest are not my property. I didn't create them. They belong to their networks and writers and producers. Well Here is Chapter 14, a day early! I might as well do 15 later too.
Chapter 14:
RHETTA'S POV
"They should be here by now!" I said.
"Relax Rhetta, your creating a trench." Butch said.
I looked down and saw I had been pacing back and forth for several minutes without noticing. I stopped and sighed.
"Aren't you worried?" I said.
"Course I am, but we need to think positive." Butch said.
LUKE'S POV
"Go faster!" Ingrid screamed.
I heard the zombie behind me but I couldn't see it. I unscrewed the third screw and started on the fourth Ingrid screamed. I looked back and I could see the zombie down the hall. I looked back at the hatch and just pulled with all of my strength. I was glad I had gone to the gym so much in the spring. I pulled it open and pulled Ingrid into it. She gasped and crawled in. I handed her the map and gun just as the zombie got close. I turned around and kicked it with the technique Annie had taught me. It staggered back and I ran in for a second attack. I kicked it in the face and heard a snap as the spinal cord broke in half. The zombie groaned and fell to the floor. I ran to the duct and clambered in. I followed Ingrid to the T junction and we climbed up on a ladder. We passed several floors and stopped when we reached Section 5. We climbed into another T junction and peeked through the vent. I saw a total of five zombies on this floor. I gulped and started to say we should just climb the rest of the way. But Ingrid was already kicking the vent open and cocking the gun. She smiled and me and busted through the duct. When she was on the floor I heard the gun go crazy. I saw splatters of blood and shells fly everywhere. Screams threw up into the air and mixed in with the gun fire. I cowered in the vent until little Ingrid popped her head back up.
"I'm waiting," She threw the gun on the floor.
"Holy Crap!" I said.
"I picked up a few things in Red River from some local hunters." She looked at her nails.
TESSA'S POV
My heart stopped as a plane landed in the middle of Red River. We all saw it. Everyone walked out of their tents and saw Eureka on the side. I gasped and we immediately went to work on packing. We left food and other suppies. All we took were sleeping bags, cameras, electronics, pillows and phones. Then we ran to our cars. The trek down the mountain had to be the most difficult climb we'd ever experience. People slipped on the rocks and cut their arms or legs open. I think Meghan hit her skull but went on. We were determined to get out of this Hell North America had become. When I saw the first of the cars I nearly shouted with Joy. But I also saw a zombie not too far away. It was just standing in front of the Honda. The others stopped and we stared at it. Sawyer pulled a gun out and shot it. Then I heard groans from the trees. I noticed more zombies in the forest around us. We all grew eyes of terror and ran to our cars. The zombies took full notice of the fresh meat now. They staggered out of their hiding places and walked to us. We all clicked the cars open and each of the trunks flung open. When we reached them we threw the bags into the back and shut them. Finally I heard the first scream and saw Sawyer being nibbled on by a female zombie.
"This would be so much hotter if she wasn't a zombie," Sawyer cracked one final joke.
I screamed and hopped into the nearest car. We all started off away from the zombies. Shawna cried profusely. I looked at her sadly and just focused on the road after that. The car bounced as the road turned to pavement. I saw Red River straight ahead. We all sped up quicker and turned into main street. I looked over to the cabins and saw zombies wondering around outside. How did they get into the town's limits? Red River was secured by guards everyday? I rolled my eyes and turned into the park in front of the Town Hall. Shawna was already out and getting the bags when I hopped out. The plane was being surrounded by people who wanted to be free. We all ran to it and I saw Tiffany inside. She looked around the crowds until she spotted all of us. She tapped the guard she was with and pointed.
"Get away!" Another guard sent off a round of bullets to the sky. "We're here for a few people! By order of the President!" He lied.
The crowds parted slightly and we burrowed through them. I felt hands pull at my shirt and bag as we walk to it.
"Take us with you!" a woman called.
"Please!" another said.
"This is bull crap, we have a right to get on this plane!" A blurry man screamed.
The guard rolled his eyes at him as we got on the plane. The man then raced forward and struck the guard. The guard fell down and another guard sent a ray of bullets into the man. The crowd screamed and ran away at top notch. Tiffany pulled me into the plane and we sat down in various seats. I dropped my bag below me and gasped for breath. I looked out the window and saw zombies in the distance. People were screaming louder now. I looked at my car key and ran to the door. I saw a woman with two children and yelled at her.
"Take the white car in the park over there, hurry!" I handed them to her.
"Bless you," she ran off with it and her kids.
I knew she was thankful but I could also tell she was anger about not being able to get on the plane. I sat back down and heard the plane start up. I saw the woman drive away in my car and get away from the zombies. I smiled. I had saved a life today. The plane started up and we took off down main street. I cried as Zombies tore into our Red River friends. Then we were in the dark skies. Red River was just an ominous scene of chaos below us. I looked at Tiffany.
"One, Why is Reba with you and two, where are we going?" I asked.
"Met her in Dallas, and England."
"Why England?" Chad asked.
"The bombs that deliver the cure are going to wipe out all power in North America for Ten years. Like nothing will be able to work here." She said.
"I guess that's the price we had to pay," I said.
I looked out the window and saw the towns fade away. Soon we would be in England. A new life would be waiting for us there.
LUKE'S POV
The elevator took us up to the LoadingBay. When it dinged open I saw only one helicopter and Rhetta and Butch sitting in front of it.
"Oh thank god," Rhetta exclaimed.
"Ready to go?" I said.
"Where is Annie?" She asked.
I shook my head and Ingrid looked down. Rhetta started crying immediately. I cried and hugged her. We would have stayed like that if it weren't for the zombies and starting helicopter.
Butch pulled us all into the helicopter as it started rising up. I saw zombies break through the door as we lifted fully off the loading bay ground. The large exit opened and we soared out into the storm filled skies. Rain poured down on the windshield. I looked back to Global Dynamics as the doors shut and we were gone. Eureka was soon just a memory of despair and hope. A place that would forever be remembered as 'The place that saved North America'. England here we come.
