Chapter 2: Jackson Patrol/Abduction
Ellie trekked quietly into the abandoned store. Ryan and Crunch were handling The Infected across The Street in the other store. "Okay, three Clickers and 3 Runners, no fucking shooting this time. Gotta be smart." Ellie thought this in her head as she got her switchblade ready and her Pistol just in case.
Click. Click. Click. Click.
Ellie saw that one of The Clickers was roaming around on his own. "Okay, you first." Ellie crept up behind The Clicker, grabbed it and quickly killed it with her Switchblade. "Haven't missed a beat." Ellie thought about how she was still moving swiftly as ever even with her two fingers gone.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Ellie saw two Runners feeding on The Corpse of a Hunter, who was likely killed looking for supplies and food. "How the fuck do I deal with these two assholes?" Ellie whispered to herself while trying to find a way to kill both of these Infected at the same time. "Oh shit. I think I still have some Molotovs in my bag." Ellie pulled out a Molotov from her Backpack. She was behind cover so killing these two Runners would be on a scale of little to no effort. Ellie threw the Molotov at the two Runners, burning them to death.
ARGGGGHHGGHGHHHAHAHAHAHAH!
The two Runners dropped dead, after being burned to death by Ellie. Fortunately for Ellie, she had another Molotov on her. And on top of that, the sound of their Infected Colleagues screaming and burning to death attracted the final Infected. Two Clickers and One Runner. Ellie wasn't nervous at all. "Pfft. Scream all you fucking want." She whispered. Ellie then threw the Molotov at the Two Clickers and One Runner, burning them to death as well.
ARRRRGGHHHHHHHAAAAHHHHGGGGHH!
Ellie then rose from cover, having successfully and easily killed off all of the Infected in her store. "That wasn't even a challenge. Joel would be proud." Ellie search the abandoned store for supplies. She first checked out The Hunter's disemboweled corpse and found a note on him.
I was on my way to Seattle with with one of the groups on orders to see if we could join up with the military group or whoever the fuck runs Seattle.
I heard they were well armed, have a shit endless tones of supplies, vehicles, endless amounts of food, water and god knows what else.
But then my ass got bit by a fucking Clicker. My group probably found this letter or they didn't.
If any of you see this fucking note, I was bitten and hid from the infected until they eventually found my ass!
Sincerely, My dead ass.
Ellie was somewhat surprised that this guy and his group of Hunters were trying to get to Seattle. "Why the hell would you want to go to Seattle? All those people are fucking insane down there. Wolves...Scars...Doesn't make a difference." Ellie walked past the dead body, leaving him to his failed goals and misery. She continued to search for supplies. She found a Machete, which was good for her. "This'll be useful." She also found some Pistol Bullets, a Cocktail and 3 Nail Bombs. "I guess Seattle has it's uses. It lures dumbasses that get killed and I snatch their supplies."
Ryan and a bloodied Crunch eventually came into Ellie's store. Ryan looked happy. "Me and Crunch kicked ass in that store. 4 Infected, no bullets needed. It was pretty fucking worth it." Ellie jus brushed off his remarks and countered with her own.
"That was nothing. 3 Clickers, 3 Runners. Only needed to kill one with my bare hands, and burned the rest. My house could use a good cleaning."
"Ehh, it was worth it. While I was searching for supplies with Crunch, I found this." Ryan proceeded to pull out a gun Joel once had.
An El Diablo
"What the fuck? I should've went in that store." Ellie said in an Irritated tone.
"Well I'm not giving this gun away to anyone...that includes you."
"Shove it up your ass Ryan."
"No thank you...And I also found some strange fucking notes about a group of Hunters trying to make it to Seattle." Ellie was surprised.
"I found a note to. These assholes were trying to make it to Seattle to join up with The WLF."
"I've heard some strange shit about Seattle over the years Ellie. Doesn't sound like an intriguing place to be."
"Of course not. I know from experience." Ellie added, remarking her 'pleasant' experience in Seattle.
"Yep. Alright, come on. We've confirmed Maria's rumors about Hordes and Growing Hordes. Let's get the horses and Move out of this area. I've got a new weapon, you've got some supplies, and Crunch here snacked on Infected."
"Yep. Let's go." Ellie, Ryan and Crunch left the store and started heading back to their horses, successfully and swiftly clearing this area of Infected.

Dina and Ray, Ryan's older brother were riding their horses on Patrol. "You know, you've gotta stop acting like an asshole to Ellie and Ryan sometimes Ray."
"Ellie's a fucking asshole Dina. Ryan likes her ass for some reason."
"I know, but just because I'm not with Ellie anymore, I won't act like a piece of shit towards her."
"I just don't like her Dean." Ray called Dina his nickname for her. "Your one of the only people that keeps me from losing it all, you know."
"I know. You helped me deal with my anger when Ellie ditched me to go hunt Abby down. You comforted me a lot and surprisingly, JJ, really enjoys time with you."
"Surprisingly?" Ray jokingly asked. "Everybody likes me. I'm a cool ass dude." Dina joked and laughed at her boyfriend's saying.
"I don't know, Ellie hates your guts, and Ryan, is just well Ryan. They may not see it now, but both of their angry asses are more alike than they realize. Tommy and Maria can put up with your shit. Tommy likes that annoying charismatic asshole side of you. Says it reminds him of himself and Joel. Maria told me that."
"And what about you? You like the asshole in me...right?"
"It's half and half." Dina flirtatiously joked.
"Oh really?" Ray and Dina stopped their horses to talk with each other.
"Hey I'll tell you what?" Dina said, still with the flirtatious tone in her voice. "After we're done with Patrol and Relieved, me and you can have some fun. Deal?"
"Crystal." Dina and Ray continued riding on patrol. They were unsuspecting of the 7 Wolf Soldiers stalking and following them like prey.
XXX
The 7 WLF Soldiers were making their way through Jackson, in search of the 'Immune Girl'. "Trek lightly, they have god knows how many patrols out here." John ordered his men to be careful because they were treading on. Enemy Territory. "Once we find the Girl, we can get the fuck outta here. Are you sure that was the fucking Girl?"
"Yes I'm sure John. We'll find the bitch, then we'll be seen as heroes!" The 2nd Wolf Soldier said.
"Yes! The fucking girl rode through here on her horse with her fucking boyfriend! We can track them, ambush them, deal with the fucking boyfriend and bring her ass back to Seattle in the Van!"
"Come on man! I wanna get the fuck back to Seattle already!" The 3rd WLF Soldier yelled.
"Shut the fuck up!" The 4th WLF Soldier yelled loudly.
"YOU TWO! BACK TO THE FUCKING VAN! WE NEED A QUICK GETAWAY ONCE WE CAPTURE HER!" John yelled at two of The WLF Soldiers that were in the group of 7. He didn't know any of their names or cared for their names. General Washington just sent 6 Random Soldiers to help him in Jackson Wyoming.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU YELLING AT?! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOUR GENERAL WASHINGTON'S BEST SOLDIER, I'LL FUCK YOU.-" John cut off the defiant Soldier by flipping him to the ground and swiftly breaking his arm. "ARERGGGGGGGG! WHAT THE FUCK?! MY FUCKING ARM! ARGGGGHHH! SHIT! FUCK! UGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" The 5 Wolves looked at John with obedience, not wanting to earn their temporary leader's wrath.
"Anything else you slick fucks have to say?" They all nodded their heads in fear and decline. "I fucking thought so...you two, Drag his broken ass back to The Van and wait there for us. You three are with me, we'll ambush the fucking girl and her boyfriend! You all have your orders! Let's move it!" Two of 7 WLF Soldiers dragged the Soldier who had his arm broken back to the Military Van they had. John and the three Soldiers with him tracked the two sets of Horse tracks, Belonging to Dina and Ray.

Ellie, Ryan and Crunch were traveling throughout Jackson clearing out Infected and searching for supplies. "Your a good shot with that thing." Ellie commented on how good Ryan's shot was with The El Diablo gun he had found a little while ago.
"I know my way around firearms. I could teach you a thing or two."
"Why would you need to teach someone who's a better shot than you?" Ellie replied back smugly. "My house is a little messy."
"Are you gonna continue to be a dick about your lucky victory?"
"Pfft. If you mean guaranteed victory than yes...yes I'll continue to be a dick."
"Of course you will...Anyways, why did you go back to The Farm you and Dina used to stay at?" Ellie was taken a bit by surprised.
"...I don't know...I guess I wanted to catch a reminder of how bad I screwed up."
"Ah I see. I ju.-" Ellie and Ryan's conversation was cut short when Crunch spotted a threat in the distance and began growling.
RAWRRRRRRRRRRRR! RRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Shit! Hunters!" Ellie whispered. "Quick, put the horses over here, they'll never find them." Ellie and Ryan placed their horses inside of an old empty Horse Trailer so The Hunters wouldn't spot them. After enforcing the safety of their horses, Ellie, Ryan and Crunch were ready to deal with the oncoming threat.
"Crunch. On me and Ellie's signal, you'll go get that guy over there while we take out these two over here." Ryan appointed Ellie and Crunch to the three guys they saw. One standing by himself and two others walking around the area together. Crunch growled lightly in obedience as he awaited his Owner's orders.
"Let's get these two assholes." Ellie said.
"These Settlement assholes have it all. Supplies, Guns, Food, Water, Horses you name it." The 1st Hunter was talking to his colleague about how well The Jackson Community Settlement was living.
"Tell me about it man...every time we try to raid these fucking bastards, they always gain the upper hand. How's the crew doing?" The 2nd Hunter wanted to know.
"The group that's supposed to travel to Seattle to get us with them? I don't fucking know. I think they're.-WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" The Hunters saw Crunch easily overpower and kill the 3rd Hunter that wandered off.
CRACK! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Crunch easily snapped the enemy's neck in a single bite. Ellie and Ryan easily snuck up on the other two and grabbed them. "Fuck up!" Ellie said this as she put her switchblade through the Hunter's throat, killing him.
"These assholes are annoying Ellie. Good shit. Crunch." Ryan petted The Battle Hungry Mountain Lion for his good efforts.
"What the fuck is it with these guys and Seattle?" Ellie was starting to get annoyed and agitated with all of the Seattle Bullshit that she's been seeing on her and Ryan's patrol. "We need to warn Maria and Tommy when we're done here. There may be Seattle guys out here."
"Definitely...we have to inform Maria of this info. It's to risky to leave it untouched and unconcerned."
"Yea...keep your eyes open...anybody could be out here...watching...waiting...listening."
"Damn Ellie...you sound exactly like Joel. He'd be mighty fucking proud of you."
"Yea...he would."
"Alright, let's get the horses and get the fuck out of here." Ryan, Ellie and Crunch headed towards The Horse Trailer they had left the Sunshine and Ryan's horse at while dealing with the light threat.
They rode off to the next location Maria told them about, having successfully cleared out two locations.
XXX
Dina and Ray were riding through an Overgrown area of Jackson. They cleared out a solid amount of Infected on Patrol so far and they were feeling pretty confident. "We may kick Ryan and Ellie's ass in Killed Infected this time." Dina happily talked to her boyfriend about their numbers this Patrol.
"You damn right...and to make them further look like shit, they have a fucking Cougar to assist them and we'll steal beat them."
"Hey...I was thinking before we have fun tonight, we should get some drinks, then things will be intense." Dina was hinting at Ray that they should be drunk and nasty at the same time after patrols are done.
"Sounds fun."
"I know."
XXX
John and The 3 other WLF Soldiers could here Dina and Ray's conversation about their relationship. They were waiting for them to get closer so they could strike them. They had the element of surprise in their favor so things wouldn't be to difficult, depending on the situation and how much 'The Girl' would fight back. And the boyfriend factor as well. "Alright, get in positions. You...Over there." John ordered one of The Soldiers to hide over a tall nearby tree. "You, get your ass behind that ruined piece of shit over there." John ordered the 2nd Wolf that was with him to hide behind a nearby destroyed piece of concrete belonging to a building or something that was Pre Outbreak Life. "And finally you...your dumbass will stay here with me. We'll ambush the bitch and bring her back to the Van and then we'll all get back to Seattle with no difficulties."
"Yes sir." The Soldier simply replied as they hid in the tall, wet and overgrown grass, ready to strike. John had a pistol ready just in case things turned into a brutal gunfight.
"I'll bring this bitch back crippled, beaten, dead or alive. I don't give a fuck." John thought about these words his head as he clenched his pistol tightly and waited for the girl to pass by.
XXX
Dina and Ray were riding on their horses checking their surroundings. The area was overgrown and Hunters or Infected could attack them at any moment. "I don't like this Ray. It makes me miss our old routes."
"Don't worry...if a Hunter or Infected tries to fuck with my beautiful girl, I'll make their asses regret every step they take."
"I can see why Me and JJ Like you...your so badass and brooding...my hero."
"I care about you...I'll die before they take you." Unfortunately, this light prediction would soon become a serious and life threatening reality because Dina's horse was suddenly shot dead. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Dina screamed.
"DINAAAAA!" Ray dove off of his horse to save his girlfriend. Ray's horse ran off in fear as Gunshots tried to get it but they couldn't reach him. Suddenly, Ray and Dina felt two sets of Arms grabbing the both of them. "GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME FAGGOT!" Ray shot one of his abductors in the chest, killing him.
"DOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!" One of the WLF Soldiers screamed as he watched his now deceased comrade drop dead into the overgrown grass. Dina was struggling and eventually knocked unconscious with a single punch to the head by the tall, muscular, tough, strong, Caucasian and super athletic man now known as John. He had natural brown hair and a Buzzcut Fade.
"Who cares. Casualties are lost all the fucking time in battle!" John barked at the Wolf who was mourning the loss of his friend. "Carry the girl back to the fucking truck! Now!"
"FUCK YOU! THIS ASSHOLE KILLED DON! PAYBACKS A BITCH!" The angry and irate WLF Soldier tried to shoot the tied up Ray in Revenge for the death of his friend.
"I SAID TAKE HER BACK TO THE FUCKING VAN NOW!" John was getting pissed off.
"WHAT ABOUT FUCKING DON?! THIS ASSHOLE KILLED HIM!"
"DO WHAT I FUCKING SAID AND GET THE GIRL BACK TO THE FUCKING TRUCK SO WE CAN GET BACK TO SEATTLE!" John snatched The Gun from the soldier, who bitterly helped the other soldier in carrying the unconscious Dina back to their van.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER! YOUR FUCKING DEAD! YOU HERE ME?! YOUR FUCKING DEAD WHEN I FUCKING FIND YOU!" Ray yelled as he helplessly watched Dina being carried away by WLF Soldiers. He was tied up and couldn't do anything about it. John then turned and looked at the tied up Ray.
"You'll see the future and what's coming...all you have to do is be prepared. Her gift will save your dumbass." Ray quickly put two and two together and knew John must've been referring to Ellie's Immunity to The Cordyceps Brain Infection. John then tightly balled up his fist and punched Ray so hard in the face, he was knocked out in a single punch. He then decided to untie him and place his unconscious body under Dina's dead and shot horse, making it seem like a Hunter attacked. Him.
John then assumingely left Ray for dead and made his way to his group, who then made their way back to Seattle, thinking they had the Immune Girl.

Ellie, Ryan and Crunch were now finished with all of their Patrolling Duties and were now heading back to Jackson. "We fucked those Clickers up bad. Right Crunch?" Ryan was talking to The Motivated Mountain Lion as they Rode and Ran back to Jackson.
RRRRRRRRRR!
Crunch simply roared. "Seems to me like he's agreeing." Ellie added.
"He knows that I know best."
"He knows that I know that you'll be cleaning up my house the best." Ellie arrogantly taunted Ryan.
"Haven't you been taken my advice? Stop being a god damn dick Ellie." Ellie retaliated by sticking up the middle finger.
"I'm not being a dick...just glad I'm getting my house cleaned up and I'm not the one doing it."
"Sounds to me like your still being a dick."
"Yea whatever...We still have to warn Maria and Tommy about the possibility of Seattle Goons being here."
"Definitely...If I'm not mistaken, those fuckers are called...The Washington Liability Front or something?"
"No...it's The Washington Liberation Front. These guys are no joke. And if they are here, Jackson will have to be on high alert. These guys don't fuck around."
"I also heard years ago that these guy took the entire City Of Seattle from Fedra and The Military."
"Well you heard correct...when me and Dina traveled to Seattle to hunt down Abby and save Tommy, we found the bodies of Fedra Soldiers all over the place."
"What the fuck. These guys have gotta have some serious strength and power if the took down The Fucking Military and Fedra."
"Definitely...I found this one skeleton of a soldier, burned to a crisp inside of a fucking tank."
"Jesus Ellie...these guys sound legit...how the hell did you, Tommy, Dina and Jesse survive in Seattle for that long?"
"Simple...we fought our way through the city, killed some of them. Even tortured and killed one of the assholes that killed Joel...after I dropped her in a Spore Infested Room."
"My god...that's so fucking badass. Shit, remind me never to get your ass pissed off."
"Don't worry. I'm not angry...yet."
"Is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?"
"I don't know...figure it out."
"Gladly."

Dina lied unconscious in the back of a militarized vehicle. The 6 Wolves didn't even realize that they had captured the wrong girl and was bringing her back to Seattle. "After we get her ass back to General Washington, then what?" A first soldier said.
"I guess he's gonna get the bitch checked out and shit, then have her ass prepped for surgery." The 2nd Wolf added.
"Shit, I'm glad we're getting a nice long fucking break when we get back...shit, I'm tired, hungry and wanna watch some fucking pornos." The 3rd Wolf Soldier expressed his exhaustion.
"Shit, before we left, General Washington was sending our troops to other states and cities to control them. He really wants to have some fucking power." The 4th WLF Soldier added.
"Oh yea man, I heard that shit before we left. He's already sent A Good War Amount of our troops to Boston, New York, Florida and Catalina Island. I'm not sure about the other places in the country man." The 5th WLF Soldier told his comrades about General Washington trying to take power from these Quarantine Zones/States around the country. Everyone in The Military Van went silent as John got in contact with General Washington.
"General Washington sir...we've got the fucking girl. We're being her ass back to Seattle right now...she's unconscious at the moment and we'll be back in Seattle in a few hours sir." The New, Menacing and powerful leader of The Washington Liberation Front congratulated John for his efforts.
"Gooooood...I hope those men I've sent with you didn't give you to much trouble...the last thing I'd want is my best soldier and Lieutenant to fail."
"Not at all sir...I apologize for breaking one of their arms...he used his mouth to much." General Washington laughed menacingly, which spooked the other 5 Soldiers, except for John himself. "And one of my men was killed by The Girl's boyfriend." General Washington chuckled, showing or giving no remorse for Don's Death.
"It's alright...In battle, a lieutenant loses his men all the time...that's what I've learned during my years and experience of wars before the outbreak son. He went out for a good cause."
"Thank you sir...May your survival be long."
"And may your death be swift." The WLF Soldiers were used to hearing their trademark saying all the time, but it sounded more and more menacing when John and General Washington said it. "We'll arrive in Seattle in a few hours sir."
"Until then..." General Washington disconnected from The Walkie Talkie.
"She's one sexy bitch...let's have some fun with her before we hand her over." The Soldier who's arm was broken by John earlier was trying to undress the unconscious Dina, but John put a stop to it.
"Don't make me fuck you up again! Get your ass back in your seat...there's plenty of time to fuck a bitch on your own time! But that time isn't now! AM I FUCKING CLEAR?!"
"Crystal Lieutenant Cocksucker." The Broken Arm soldier said as he got back in his seat."

The dominant three man, woman and animal trio of Ellie, Ryan and Crunch were making their way back to Jackson. They had worked their asses off and were ready to call it in for the day. "I'm thinking about taking a break from patrols. My ass needs a long break."
"Pfft...yea right. Maria would drag your ass out and force you on Patrol." Ellie remarked.
"Shit, we still on? Grab some food and drinks, then you get your new dog, I'll clean your house and we'll lay off for the day?"
"Yep...everything's good...hey, what types of dogs do we have? I've never really payed attention to The Pet Farm...I heard they got some pretty good shit."
"They've got German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls. The list is fucking endless. I'd still recommend a German Shepherd."
"Sounds great."
"Yea it does...hey, there's Jackson right up there with the other patrols. Let's go warn them."
"Yea." Ellie, Ryan and Crunch returned to Their Jackson Settlement to find their fellow Patrolmen talking very loud and worriedly with Maria. As well as two men trying to restrain Ray's stressed and scared horse.
"Are you sure they aren't anywhere?" Maria sounded worried and stressed out about something Ryan and Ellie were currently unaware of. "They've gotta be here somewhere!"
"We were supposed to relieve them, but they didn't show up! I'm getting worried." One man said to Maria
"Shit, you think Hunters ambushed them?!" A 2nd Man said.
"Those fucking Hunters man. I thought we taught their asses lessons." A 3rd Man added.
"They've gotta be here somewhere!" A 4th Man added.
"Fuck!" A 5th Man added.
"We've gotta find them! Who knows what the fuck happened to them!" A 6th Man expressed his concern and worry.
"Woah, What the hell is going on?!" Ryan demanded to know what they were talking about.
"What the fuck is going on? Who's missing?" Ellie followed. "Maria, what happened?" Ellie and Ryan looked at Maria with demanding looks. Maria then nervously and stressed out revealed the last thing they wanted to hear about.
"Ray and Dina are missing. They were supposed to be relieved a long ass time ago!"
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN DINA'S MISSING?!" Ellie was now enraged.
"THE FUCK YOU MEAN THEY'RE MISSING?!" Ryan was now enraged by the fact that his slightly older brother could possibly be in harm's way. "AH SHIT! Ellie! Remember those notes we found about those assholes trying to travel to Seattle?"
"BULLSHIT! Can't be those guys! The last time they were in Jackson was when they killed Joel!"
"You think it was the fucking Hunters?! Those assholes like to ambush lone survivors, beat them and steal their supplies and weapons." Ryan and Ellie were on top of their horses, now irritated and stressed out about Dina and Ray missing. Crunch The Cougar was standing there, confused, awaiting his Companion's orders. Maria was now stressed out as well about the ongoing chaos surrounding her Patrolmen.
"Maria. Double pair up Watchtowers. Keep Snipers everywhere around they gate. Don't let anybody enter The Settlement unless they are confirmed not dangerous." Ellie ordered Maria to tighten up Jackson's defenses just in case something bad happened.
"Crunch, you stay with me and Ellie at all times, got it?" The Mountain Lion roared in a sign of obedience.
"I want you all to spread out and find them. If you see any Hunters, wipe the god damn floor with them. Likewise for any other threats. You two..." Maria looked at Ryan and Ellie with a serious face. "Watch yourselves. Move out!" Ellie, Ryan and Crunch as well as the other patrols had to search to Dina and Ray.
"Hold on Dina...I'm fucking coming."
"Hang in their big brother...I'm coming." Ryan and Ellie whispered to themselves, determined to find their friends/family. The galloped the horses to speed them up while Crunch rand beside them at full speed.
