Chapter 52 The port

Authors notes: the beginning of this one will be quiet long since I'm using a lot of the dialogue from the game before they get to the actual port but with that said hope you still enjoy.

"I wish we were heading to a deserted island, can we each get our own." Francis asked, "you know I wasn't liking the idea of a deserted island at first but I'm starting to get a good feeling about this" Louis said happily, "I hate your good feelings" Francis retorted with a grunt. "Yeah I guess maybe this won't be soo bad after all" Zoey said finally coming to terms with the fact this was the girls plan now, "you know what I'll miss checking email seeing what's new" Louis said. "Nah keep your computers, emails and whatever just give me a pen and paper" Bill said causing laughter from Louis, "you are literally the oldest man in the world aren't you, did they have TV when you were born?" He asked. "They didn't have electricity when I was born" Bill said causing a giggle from Zoey, "one thing I'm not gonna miss Bantu civilisation IT, I will never have to teach another human being to reboot their damn computer" Louis said. "Yeah I get it Louis, Bill gets it for Christ's sake and he can't even work a flushed toilet" Francis said as Louis laughed, "but you know as long as I have a Molotov, I can make a fire wall, get it Francis, a fire wall" Louis said laughing at his own joke as Francis shock his head disapprovingly.

"Louis you spare such a nerd" he simply said as Louis turned to Zoey, "hey Zoey we are heading to a deserted island, top 10 desert island movies go" he said as the girl thought for a moment. "You asked me that last year it would've been 10 zombie moves, now probably a documentary on how to make toilet paper" she said causing him to laugh. "So Bill once find a sailboat how far is it to the Florida keys?" Louis asked, "not far at all we find an island and make it ours, no more army, no more CEDA, no more horse hit" he said much to everyone satisfaction. "No more internet, no more XBOX, no more nothing" Louis said, "no more human race" Zoey added, "no more vampires" Francis finally added, "so once we are on a boat can zombies swim?" Louis said asking the question of the day. "In most movies they sink, I think that means we are safe once we get out to sea" Zoey said, "hey bill once we find a boat you gotta island in mind?" Louis said. "Yeah a couple of em were gonna clear the island and spend the rest of our lives relaxing on the beach" he said, "I do like the sound of that" Louis said before Francis intervened.

"Why don't we just live in the boat?" He said, "unless your gonna stop eating your gonna need a damn big boat to hold all the supplies" Bill shot back, "well there was that ship back there, Bill I just wanna make it clear in front of everyone that I'm against the island plan" he said. "Cut the horse hit Francis" Bill scowled, "Jesus have you ever been to an island they are good damn horrible" he said, "they're defensible Francis as far as we know zombies can't swim" Bill said again, "they're not the only ones" Francis said sheepishly. "Well shit Francis, when we get to the island I'm gonna teach you how to swim" Louis said offering his support, "I seriously doubt it" Francis shot back. "Who's ready time go live on an island paradise and get away from all the infected, man I cannot wait!" Louis said clearly excited, "the vampires wanna kill us, the army wants to kill us, with our luck Zoey probably crossed their mob, what makes you think we're gonna live long enough to see bills god damn island in the keys. The biker said still objecting to the plan. "I'm in too good of a mood to get angry at you Francis" Louis simply said, "alright then people that's enough chatting, its 3 on 1 Francis so feel free to stay here if you don't wanna come but we heading out as soon as we find a boat" Bill said. He then opened the safe room door and stepped outside leading out to a building out the back of the alley they were in, let's find a boat that can make it to the gulf" he said.

...

They were now standing in a Main Street with a bridge going across the river right down the street in front of them, "alright we need to find a sailboat, let's split and search the area, check that street, that house, that building and this one and meet back here in 5 minutes, any sign of to rumble you call for help" bill said proceeding to enter building to the right. Zoey going up past a generator into a building to the far right, Francis entering a house to the left and finally Louis took a street to the left leading down to who knows where.

...

Bill searched the large dark room where he found another generator, Dede using that perhaps they powered something in the area, he continued to look around finding a pipe bomb and Molotov which he took for safe keeping. Zoey hadn't managed to find anything useful except for killing a few scattered infected, she did learnt hat her building lead into the building Bill was in a proceeded to cross over into the old mans. Francis had entered a club of some kind and unfortunately found nothing of value except some gas cans which he knew wouldn't help here so he left the, where they were. Finally Louis had realised the street was blocked off and was simply a dead end, however there was another generator in the area he was in. Francis had found something of great value however, by the bridge on the left side in the river was a fully intact sailboat, he was generally shocked and happy he had located the one thing that they had been looking for and immediately called out to the others. Once they were all gathered around he showed his discovery to his team, "why Bill is that a sailboat by the bridge why yes it is" he said proud of himself, "your doing this unit proud kid" Bill said generally impressed.

"Oh thank god we are almost out of here" Zoey said as Louis also shared her enthusiasm, "if we wanna take that sailboat we need to raise the bridge and get to the other side and then we are home free" Bill said as the others began to get rather excited. "My guess is the 3 generators in the area were set up to power the bridge, we need to get them running before we can raise the bridge, and generators mean only one thing noise" he said. The others realising that meant infected, "we can't give up now, we've come soo far we have to see it through to the bitter end" Louis said the others nodding and agreeing with him, "alright then let's do it" Bill finally said. "Well save the one by the bridge for last since we can start it and then run straight to the bridge, let's start with the one inside that building where me and Zoey were" he said as they made their way over to the building interior. They were all inside ready to fight for their right to get to the Florida keys, bill stood by the generator as his 3 colleagues took up different positions in the room, "everyone ready for this?" He asked. "Yeah man let's do this" Louis said his finger on the trigger ready for the enemy to come and attack them, Bill pushed down the button on the generator. For several seconds it stuttered before finally roaring to live loudly, soon after angry screams and shouts became audible as the infected in the area were disturbed by the noise of the generator. Bill went and crouched by Francis the 2 men acting as the frontline in the battle against the horde, the final battle was about to begin and it was gonna be a good one...
