What the fuck is going on?

A million questions are running through Kevin's mind as he watches the T.V. and loads his .45 Automatic, his baby. Why hasn't R.P.D. contacted me yet?

"Hey you copper, what's dis shit about walkin' corpses I hear?" the old fellow sitting next to him asks.

"You're tootin' the wrong ringer buddy, I have no f'n clue, nobody has contacted me, I honestly don't know what the fuck is going on."

And then it happens. As everybody is watching the news intently, the windows to the bar cave in, followed by a huge swarm of moaning, zombie like people. Their flesh is hanging off their body, their heads are cocked, and their eyes are expressionless. The people immediately start screaming as the corpses latch onto whoever they can get their rotting hands on. It all happened so quickly, Kevin only had time to hop over the bar counter to avoid being bitten. He tries to pull the man next to him over the counter with him, but the bloodthirsty monsters rip him right out of his hands, and devour him from the neck down. The man didn't even have time to scream. Kevin aims his gun. Fuck this, there's too damn many of them.

He runs back into the kitchen trying to find a way out. The cook had already fled, and the kitchen was empty, food still cooking. FUCK! Candy is out there, GOD , she shouldnt have left! I HAVE TO FIND HER!

He runs out the back door, slamming it shut. The door lead out to an alleyway. Kevin darts across, next to a dumpster and holds his body against the wall, catching his breath. The alley is surprisingly quiet. R.P.D is probably fucked. Why haven't they reached me? God how am I ever going to find Candy in this mess if she's still even alive, he thinks as he leans his head back against the brick wall. It was all happening too fast.

Suddenly hears a faint Click! Click! Click! coming towards him. The sound was getting louder and faster. Kevin peaks around the corner slightly, and what a sight for sore eyes. It was Candy running towards him full bore, high heels frantically clicking on the pavement. Just as she is about to run right by him, he reaches out his muscular arm and hooks it around her waist and pulls her against him, covering her mouth. Any screaming was sure to attract those God-awful monsters. She kicks and squirms to get lose, trying her hardest to scream. God she's strong!

"Hey! Stop! It's me! Don't scream!" he pleads.

But she's so frantic she pays no attention and rips herself partially from his grip, giving herself enough room to hit him. She elbows him hard in the jaw with a huge SMACK!

"AHH!" Kevin screams in pain as he releases her and grabs his jaw. She spins around and punches him in the face, hitting his left cheekbone, causing him to fall on his ass.

"FUCK!" he yells squeezing his eyes shut.

Suddenly Candy snaps out of it, as she realizes its Kevin.

"Kevin!" she says frantically, eyes as wide as soccer balls.

"MMM HMMM" He groans holding his face and rocking back and forth. Pain was shooting up his jaw, and up the left side of his face.

"Oh my God, Im so sorry!" she cries and helps him to his feet.

"So you do see stars."

"What?"

"You really do see stars when you get hit in the face." he smirks, trying to blink his left eye, which is already becoming red and puffy.

"God Kevin I am so sorry." She cries and hugs him. "I thought you were one of those things trying to eat me."

He hugs her back, holding her trembling body tight.

"Sounds tempting, but I think I'd have to work a little harder than that for my meal."

She starts to cry.

"What's happening Kevin, I'm so scared."

"I don't know Candy, but we need to find out of this town, they have the main roads barricaded, but I'm sure we can find a way out.But I think if we stay here any longer than we have to, we wont live to see the sun rise."

She slowly lets go of him, sniffling. He could clearly see she was terrified, but something about her showed she had a lot of courage.

"How close is your house to here?"

"About a block, why?"

"Because you need different shoes for sure, or I'll be pushing you out of here in a wheelchair by the end of the night."

She smiles at him.

"My house is at the end of that alley, but there's a shit ton of monsters down there well never make it without them noticing."

"Well, have you met my pretty lady?"

"What?" she scrunches her eyes.

Kevin puffs up his chest, raises his .45 Automatic, and smiles at her. He looked pretty tough, especially with that shiner she gave him.

"Nothing gets past her." he says as he checks to make sure the gun is loaded.

"I see" she grins and raises one eyebrow. God Kevin your hot.

"O.K. lets go, we don't have much time." he says as he reaches his hand out.

Candy takes his hand as they start down the alley, toward her apartment.

"So where did you learn to hit like that, jeeze that hurt, holy fuck!."

"My dad is a D.T. instructor." She laughs.

"Well that explains a lot, I think you broke my jaw to be honest."

"I'm really sorry, I honestly thought you were one of those things."

"Don't worry about it, I like shiners." he laughs. What an optimist.

They continue to walk down the dark wet alleyway until they approach Candy's apartment. Candy stops and squeezes Kevin's hand the minute she notices the group of zombies, feeding on a corpse, right on the steps to the apartment. Her heart leaps in her chest as Kevin pulls her close.

"Come on, lets do this." he says as he aims his gun, fearless.
