It was 2010, and Frank and Rick, were walling in the streets that were filled with dead people, and what happened next was that they saw a sign say No Gas, Frank said "It may be worth a shot." Frank took a picture of the sign. Rick then went and said to Frank, "Yeah you're right." Rick was a Georgia County Sheriff's Cop and Frank West was a photojournalist. They entered inside and saw more dead decaying bodies, then suddenly, they saw a little girl, pick up her teddy bear. Frank said "Hey that's a kid." Rick then said "Little Girl, I'm a Police Officer, Little Girl." Frank then said "We're not gonna hurt you." The little girl turned around and was revealed to be a zombie. She came at them and Rick said shocked "Oh my God." Frank then said "Oh." Rick pulled out his Python 300 Magnum and shot the undead girl in the head, killing the zombie.
Intro
Rick and Shane were discussing the difference between men and women, and joking them around sexually about turning off lights, and then Rick and Shane were discussing Lori arguing with him, and asking him if he cared about his family enough or not, in front of his 9 year old son. He said that he would never, say that in front of Carl, ever. Then suddenly, they got a call about a shootout that was happening and a speed chase as well.
They then went off and chased the muscle car down, and then suddenly, the criminals came out, as the cops lined up in position, and Rick screamed "Put it down!" They all shot the two criminals dead. As they were doing so, a helicopter was flying over them, and Frank West was taking photos, and then suddenly, Rick was on the ground from the shootout, saying "I'm alright!" Shane said "Are you sure!?" Rick said "Yeah the son of a bitch shot me!" Then he said "You never tell Lori about what happened you understand--." He was cut off when Frank was shouting out "Officer, behind you, look out!" They looked up at Frank and Rick said "What the--!" Boom "Ahhh!" Rick screamed as he shot. Shane yelled "Rick!" He shot the criminal dead. Frank screamed "No!" Shane said "Come on stay with me you understand, stay with me, please Rick!" Then suddenly, the chopper was coming down, as Frank was screaming "Look out!!!!!" Shane said "What the hell." He looked closely and saw a creature eating the pilot Ed DeLuca and Frank was panicking. Shane's eyes burst out of his sockets, and then screamed "Get out the way now, MOVE!!!" He carried Rick while running. Frank jumped out as it crashed, surviving, and the helicopter crashing into the police cruisers. They all survived.
Shane ran up to Frank asking "What the hell happened, are you alright!?" Frank said "Yeah I think I--" Frank passed out. Shane then noticed as he saw the paramedics carry Rick into the ambulance, as he demanded Leon to go and get one, he saw Frank's ID, and he read "Frank West, Denver, Colorado, Photojournalist." Shane then said "Don't worry Frank West, I'll look for you too." They then carried Frank West onto a gurney and into the same ambulance as Rick.
Frank West POV:
Frank West, from Denver, Colorado, was flying over the Georgia plans taking pictures on a helicopter. Ed DeLuca said "Say buddy, you mentioned something about research for a story." Frank said "That's right got a tip something big is happening." Ed DeLuca then said "In a quiet state like that, they sure didn't mention anything about it on TV." Frank then said "Yeah well I'll freelance pal, I don't go out of my way, to have the TV to tell me what to cover." Ed DeLuca laughed out loud. Then suddenly they heard gunshots, Frank said "Wait did you hear that, it sounded like gunshots!" Ed DeLuca said "Let's check it out." Frank said next "Agreed."
The two then flew over the site, where they saw the Deputy Sheriffs have a shootout with three criminals. He heard Rick yell "Put it down!" Frank started recording the scene from the camera. He recorded everything from start to finish. He then saw them shoot the rest of them, but Rick got shot, and Frank screamed in shock "Shit!" Frank was routing for the cops. Next, the thing he saw was that a criminal was sneaking up behind Rick and screamed "Look out, behind you." Then suddenly Rick got shot and Frank screamed "No!" Next, he saw Shane try to help him regain consciousness, and Frank looked in sadness. Suddenly, a creature came up to Ed, and started eating him, and then Frank panicked and saw the chopper going right to them, and Frank screamed "Look out!" Next, he saw them ove out of the way, and then he jumped out, and the helicopter crashed into the police cruisers. Next, he saw the man from before running over to him, and he said to him "What the hell, are you alright!?" Frank then said "Yeah, I think I--." Frank passed out. He was then lifted into a gurney and put in the same ambulance as Rick.
The main POV:
Rick and Frank, were in the same room as each other, and had saw Shane come by, saying "Hey, Rick and uh Frank, I know you guys are still in the coma, but I wanted to leave you these flowers, for you two to wake up and get well soon, I love you Rick, and uh Frank, here's your camera as well, I wanted to return it, Lori's doing good as well, and Carl, anyway here are the flowers and camera, ok."
Next Rick said which looked like he was awake and responding back "Did you get those flowers from your Grandma Jean's house, hahahahaha!" Frank then said "Yeah how about the camera it better not be in a coma too, hahahahaha!" Rick then said "Shane." Frank then followed saying "Hello, anyone there, anybody." Next they both looked over and saw the flowers dead, and the camera was dead too, it needed more batteries. They woke up and fell and they both screamed weakly "Nurse help!!" They we're both in hospital robes. Rick then said "Who are you?" Frank then said "I'm the guy from the helicopter back at the shootout, Frank West, photojournalist." Frank said smiling offering his hand. Rick then smiled back saying "Deputy Rick Grimes, police officer." They shook each other's hands. Frank found batteries and put them in the camera.
Dead Rising beginning Music from finding Brad in the tunnels starts playing:
They then walked, and saw dead people all over, and badly decomposed, dead for weeks possibly months, or who knows years even. Frank took a video and pictures at the same time like last time, and they were walking in horror when Frank eventually said "Huh!" He bumped into the door and saw "Don't open, Dead Inside!" A creature stuck her hand out of the padded lock door, Frank back away." Rick too. They then walked out of the hospital in disgust. They were walking, for what seemed miles, and they then saw a eaten woman that turned, her legs were all gone, just a bone was left, she was badly decomposed and had blonde hair, and was crawling towards them. Frank threw up and Rick said in horror "Oh my God." They found a bicycle, Rick got on the drivers seat, and Frank got in the back seat of the bicycle.
They rode to Rick's house, in Rick's neighborhood, in Macon. They stopped, and saw it with the American flag and they went inside, and saw the house, and Rick called out numerous times "Lori, Carl!!!" He thought they were dead, until he saw photo albums missing and clothes as well, he knew they were alive, and someone didn't rob and kill them. Rick then said assuringly, "My wife and son, they're alive." Frank said "You sure." Rick said "Yeah, who the hell else would steal photo albums." Frank chuckled and said "Yeah that's true." Rick said next "You ready to head out?" Frank said "Yeah."
They then walked down, until a boy smacked them over the face with a shovel, and they started bleeding, after the two looked at a similar creature like before with the chopper again, and the black little boy screamed "Daddy, Daddy." The man ran over, shot the creature in the head, and next he said "What happened." Rick then said "Carl." The boy said "The man called me Carl, and the other one just passed out." The man said "No son, these men are alive help me drag them inside." He said "Okay."
Six hours later.
It was now nighttime, and Rick and Frank woke up, and saw they were on the bed, and the man walked in saying "Oh hey, you two are awake, I'm sorry about my son, he didn't mean anything by it, he thought you two were the walkers from outside." Rick then said "Walkers?" Frank then said "You shot that man point blank in the face!" The man then said "Oh no, he wasn't no man, he was a walker." Rick asked "What's a walker?" Morgan said "Zombies." Frank said "Are you serious?" The man said "Yup, I'm Morgan by the way, Morgan Jones, and my son is Duane Jones, and come in and eat dinner with us, we'll tell you more about them." Rick and Frank walked inside and Morgan said "They're zombies, if you get bitten, you get sick, die, and come back as them, and they don't talk or think, they kill and eat people, and they started having red eyes, at 7pm on the third day of the outbreak. That means they're deadlier then before. A good blow to the head kills them, you can't kill them if they are shot in the leg or arm or chest. If you get bitten though, you have to cut a limb off, if not on the limb and instead the neck or body, you die."
Morgan then continued saying "Also, if you see a queen bee, with red eyes, do not go near it, it means they sting you, and then you turn even faster, but if you destroy a queen bee nearby, they all die and their heads blow off, crazy right." They all understood but then suddenly there was banging, more walkers came up and they all looked astounded and saw them out there, Duane then saw his mother at the front step, and he ran into the bed and started crying. Frank asked "What's wrong with him?" Morgan said sadly "My wife is out there, she got bit, died, and came back, I couldn't kill her, so I let her out on the streets, and now they're all out there." They then saw a 1996 Ford Taurus, go off, and the alarm was raging like crazy. Next they then saw the undead wife trying to open the door, the knob was turning. Later, they all fell asleep, Rick, Frank, Morgan and Duane
The next day, Rick and Frank changed into street clothes, had swat masks on, and both killed their first walker, clubbing the two walkers to death with a baseball bat. Next Morgan said "Nice, well done, is there anything else I can do for you two." Rick then said "Yeah, follow me and Frank to the police station, there we can get clothes and weapons, are you for it." Morgan then said "Yeah sure, Duane come along with us." They then got into Frank's Red Ford Mustang Convertible he found on the street.
They drove the car to the police station, and once they entered, Rick said "So boys, do you all wan to hop in the shower." Frank said smiling and laughing along with Duane they said at the same time "A shower!?" Morgan's eyes lit up, and Rick was winking and smiling.
They were all laughing as they were bathing, with Rick saying "Wow it feels amazing bathing in fresh water." Morgan then said "Oh my God I forgot almost what this felt like." Frank screamed "Woo! This feels amazing, fresh hot water, hahahahaha!" Duane said "Damn man, I wish I can take this damn shower all day, man it feels great!" Next, they entered the police lockers, Rick put on his police uniform, a jacket, a badge, a button shirt, pants, and shoes, Frank dressed the same as Rick gave him the clothes to dress in, along with Morgan, Duane was too small, he couldn't have a pair. They then went into the Armory, and Rick and Frank got anything from pea shooters to bazookas, same with Morgan. Duane saw Morgan put a bunch of rounds, into a M9 Beretta, and Duane said "Can I daddy, I'm old enough." Morgan said "Yes you are and you're going to learn how to do so tomorrow, got it young man." Duane said "Uh huh." Rick and Frank got themselves two Springfield Rifles and two M9 Berettas as well, and they said next "Well we're headed to Atlanta, my wife and son, they're alive, and Frank is coming along as well." Morgan said "I wish you two well."
Rick then said "Same here Morgan, and by the way, take this transceiver and map, therefore we can keep in touch." Frank grabbed one too saying "Yeah, I'll call you everyday, and will let you know when we leave the city, okay." Morgan then said "Alright, it will do." They then went outside, and Morgan grabbed a police cruiser, and drove off, beeping the horn and waving to them, and next Rick saw Leon Bass from the shootout and said "Oh no, it's Leon Bass, from before at the shootout." Frank then said sadly "Oh." Rick then went up to him and shot the walker version of Leon Bass saying "I'm sorry partner." Frank nodded out of respect to pay his respects.
They then drove off together, and Rick was driving, while Frank was in the passenger seat, taking pictures.
Three Hours Later...
They were driving off and almost were in Atlanta, and Frank was taking pictures, and Rick was talking in the radio saying "If there's anyone out there, please respond, repeat, anyone near Atlanta, please respond." Frank was taking pictures.
Meanwhile in the woods near Atlanta.
A blonde woman picked up the radio and said "Hello hello hello." Rick said "Hello, ma am please let me know if you're outside the city, please respond." Amy said "Yes, we're just outside the city, please come help us." Rick said "No problem, me and my friend Frank are coming, and by the way this is Ri--" It lost connection. The lady then said "Hello hello dammit." A black man came, and said, "Amy what's the matter." Amy said "Brad, we had two guys on the radio, they're coming to Atlanta." Brad then said "Okay, Glenn, go out there and find more survivors in the city, I'll come with you to find these two men, and Amy stay here, watch Otis, Jessie, Carl, Lori, Carol, Shane, Jim, Dale, Ed, and Sophia, we have to go and find those two men, and then find T-Dog, Andrea, Merle, Daryl, Morales, and Jacqui, understand." Glenn, The Korean kid said "Okay." They then headed off and Otis stopped them for a sec saying "You ain't planning to go back out in the city without anyone to contact, anyway you young folks never listen to me, that's why, have this transceiver, and map too to look your way around." Glenn said "Ok got it, thanks Otis, be our lookout, okay." Otis said "Will do."
Back to Rick and Frank...
They then reached a barn and saw two cars parked there, and then they saw, a house, and Frank said "It may be worth a shot." Rick then said "I dunno it can be like that little girl again or worse." Frank said "Yeah, agreed, watch your six." Rick then said "Got it." They entered the house, and saw nothing but bugs and a foul smell, and Frank said "Aww God, Jesus, it smells." Rick then said coughing "I know." Frank started taking pictures. Rick then said "Frank give me your flashlight to see, the powers out." Frank said "Got it." Frank then gave Rick the flashlight and they looked around, and saw nothing but decay all over, and then kicked a door down, and saw two dead bodies, and a gun in one man's hand, and the reference on top said "God Forgive Us." They committed suicide with each other in order to avoid the outbreak. Frank took pictures saying "Jesus." Rick then shook his head saying "Unbelievable." They walked out the house saddened and then heard a noise, it sounded like a horse, they went to the barn, and saw a horse, and they then said happily "Woah." Rick said "Get on back, the police cruiser is out of gas, we're riding the horse to the city." Frank then said "Are you sure you know how to do this." Rick then said "Yes, but I haven't done this in years, so be patient." They got on the horse and the horse nayed, and Rick then said "Come on girl, giddy up." They then rode the horse to Atlanta. Frank smiled taking pictures of the horse and the environment.
They then reached the deserted highway, and saw decomposed cars and people trying to escape Atlanta, but failed, and then were riding in the opposite direction, where it was all clear. They then entered the city, saw crows eating walkers alive, and they were moaning, Frank said "Oh God Jesus." Frank tools pictures, and then they saw a businessman walk out the bus as a zombie, then more zombies as well. Rick said cautiously "Watch my six." Frank said "Got it." They then kept on riding the horse in the barren streets of Atlanta, and then more came out the horse panicked and ran towards two Do Not Enter signs and saw thousands of them, and the horse panicked and went off in the air on two legs, Frank said "Woah wooooaaaah!" Frank fell off and screamed "Rick run." Frank ran, and Rick followed, and more thousands of walkers came from the others side, and Frank ran away, and jumped on a tank, and Rick was surrounded, and fell off the horse, the horse got devoured easily, and then Rick crawled under the car, the bag of guns was left behind, and then he started shooting his way under the car, and then Frank screamed "Rick grab my hand, get in the tank, NOW!!" Rick grabbed Frank's hand, and then went inside the tank, and they were safe for now, until a reanimated US Army Soldier, moaned and Rick shot him, and then since they were in a tank, they went deaf due to the gunshot for a few seconds, they moaned and held their ears.
Next, the radio was screeching, and they heard it, and heard a man say "Hey, dumbass, yeah you two, you must be the ones from the radio." The other man spoke, this time he sounded black, and he said "Yeah, come on, we'll save you two, get out the tank and meet us in the alley." Rick and Frank looked at each other and smiled, they've been saved.
The episode ends for now.
