The sound of despair

- AMANDA!

- Hey fuckers! Do you want some quality lab rat? I'm right here! - Amanda screamed picking a rock and throwing it on a window of a car that immediately setting of the alarm.

- What the- AFTER HER! - The soldier that was chosing people shouted to the others. - Quick, before the dead arrive!

The soldier who was watching the students on the wall distracted himself with all the shouting and Guilherme took advantage of that. In a quick movement he crouched down and sweep his leg, the soldier falling flat on his face in the parking lot. Before he could get up the boy with glasses kicked the man's head as hard as he could, knocking him out. It seems that the 4 years of capoeira were good for something. His attention was attracted by the shots that started to be fired in the street, walkers started to show up because of the car alarm, while the desperate students started running in any direction with less walkers.

- AMANDA!

- SHE COULD GET SHOT!

André and Murilo tried to run to the car where the brunette was hidden, but Gomes and Rodrigo stopped them.

- LET ME GO RODRIGO! MY SISTER-

- If you try to go after her you'll die!

- It doesn't matter-

The car's rearview mirror was shattered by the bullet that was trying to hit one of the 10 or 15 walkers that came down the street where the 5 just passed.

- If we don't get out of here now, we're going to die anyway! - Murilo replied.

- Where are we going then? - Rodrigo asked.

- To that garage! - Gomes said pointing to the underground garage of the building next door. - There must be some cars there yet, just remove the plastic from the steering column, join the battery wires and make a spark with the ignition cable!

- I won't ask how you know that, but thanks. - Said Rodrigo.

- I won't leave without Amanda! - Murilo shouted about to run to his girlfriend.

Meanwhile Amanda was still behind the car just in front of the college gate using her spear to kill the oncoming walkers. They were starting to fill in, some falling by the soldiers' bullets but more and more were coming.

- Let me go!

Upon hearing Ana's cry she turned and saw a soldier dragging her to the truck. She also saw that some of the students were caught, like Danilo who was unconscious. Without thinking twice, she crossed the distance between them and, with her shoulder, pushed the soldier away from her friend.

- André is behind the gray car! Go! - She screamed before being thrown on the ground by the soldier.

- You little bitch! - He said before hitting the butt of the gun on her face knocking her out.

Ana wanted to help her friend, but she knew that if she tried, she would end up captured again. With a heavy conscience, she took her friend's improvised spear, turned and ran towards her boyfriend, dodging the walkers and passing Murilo.

- AMANDA! - Murilo called trying to reach her.

- Murilo! No! - Guilherme shouted running and holding his friend.

- Sir! We have to go! - A soldier warned the man who knocked out Amanda.

- Very well! Put this one in the truck too and let's go!

Murilo fought against his friend while watching the soldier carry his girlfriend, whose face was bloody, into the truck.

- THEY ARE TAKING HER!

- THEY TOOK ISA TOO! - The boy with glasses shouted making Murilo stop.

- We will find them, but not if we die here!

Murilo looked again at the truck and after a few shoves from Guilherme went towards André and the others who were surrounded by walkers.

- André we have to- HOLY FUCK, LOOK OUT!

- No Guilherme! He's human! He helped us get here. - Warned André preventing his friend from hurting Gomes.

- You need to get out of here, get the car and go to Chácara Klabin Station, it's empty and Getúlio will meet you there! - Gomes said moving away and mixing among the walkers.

- Who the fuck was-

- No time! Come on! - André said guiding the others to the parking lot.

The five went down the ramp and went to the first car they found. Murilo tried to open the driver's door, but it was locked. He hit his glass with his steel weapon and as soon as it shattered he opened the door, after he unlocked the others entered, Rodrigo at his side and Guilherme, André and Ana at the back.

- Okay, now remove the plastic part and-

- I know how to make a direct call Rodrigo! - The brunette shouted already taking the plastic and pulling the wires.

- They are starting to come down! - Guilherme said watching the human shadows on the ramp.

- I'm going as fast as- A roaring engine interrupted him. - YES!

Murilo wasted no time and stepped on the accelerator, didn't slow down even when the dead began to hit the hood of the car as they climbed the ramp.

- PLEASE! HELP ME!

Matheus screamed in despair as he was devoured by the neck by a walker, two others joining soon after. Ignoring the scene, Murilo directed the car to the side that descended where there were fewer of them and began to formulate the route to the station where they would meet Getúlio.

Now that he could breathe, André realized the chaos they were in. They lost their only safe place, their group had much fewer people, they had no food or water, and ... Amanda. His sister was taken by those animals. He put his hands on his head trying to calm his breathing while listening to his heartbeat like cannon shots. He wanted to cry, scream, punch the seat in front of him, anything to get rid of the anger he felt inside him. How could he let them take her?! He vowed to protect her at any cost! He felt a hand intertwine with his and turned his eyes to his girlfriend. Ana had tears in her eyes and whispered an apology to him. He knew what she was talking about, he saw when Amanda pushed the soldier so that Ana could escape. He pulled his girlfriend into a hug and placed a kiss on her cheek letting her know he didn't blame her. They would find her. They would find them all. Amanda, Isa, Danilo, Igor and Sasha. He didn't know which of the others had been caught, but they would try to save them too.

He turned away from her and looked at Murilo in the rearview mirror. He didn't have to say what they were going to do or where they were going. They had only one goal now.
