We reached the check point where we were heading, we managed to meet up with Doc, addie, and Mack which were our friends from back at camp bluesky. We looked around, the checkpoint looked like an overrun evacuation center, throughout the parking lot were several crashed cars we looked at each car as we walked by when I heard a noise "guys, do you hear that?" I asked, I inched closer to one of the crashed cars "it sounds like a baby crying" I turned to the car next to me and looked at the front seat, there was a woman... she was giving Mercy on impact, I then looked in the back the backseat "holy shit, its an actual baby" I said as I gently grabbed him out of the car and held him as Warren looked at me "look I wasn't gonna leave him there...I'm not a monster jesus" I said as the rest of the group continued to walk, When catching with them somehow I ended up walking next to Murphy who looked in my direction "were you like a mother or something before shit hit the fan?" he asked me, I looked at him for a minute "no, but I used to babysit for my sister's kids since she was always working" I replied in a rather soft tone, he nodded and we kept walking, I knew I was lying to him and myself by saying that I was never a mother because I indeed had a kid, a little girl that was seven years old,she had gotten bitten during black summer...I had to give her mercy and I was never the same since then. We reached a place inside while Doc, Addie and Mack went to search the perimeter for supplies or other useful items. I had looked around the place still holding the baby in my arms, it was big enough for the whole team to rest for a moment, I had seen what looked like a brand new baby carrier on a table, I gently set the baby inside of it and set the carrier on the floor next to where I was sitting, We all knew that the baby was a ticking zombie bomb if we didn't find food for him. I hoped that Doc, Addie or Mack would find something, I watched as they walked in...they found something alright more like someone, I watched as a female walked in behind them "who the hell is this?" Hammond asked, Addie shrugged and sat in a chair not far from Mack. I sighed and gently rocked the baby back and forth in the carrier he was weak but he was hanging in there, in the meantime Murphy leaned against the wall behind where I was sitting, I looked at Warren while Hammond was shouting orders "can you stop bossing people around for once and shut the hell up, you're giving all of us a goddamn headache!" I said bot having a care in the whole apocalypse, Hammond got in my face "if you don't like it I'll send you to walk amongst the dead" he replied, I beat him at pulling a gun "I would be careful with what you say next because I will become the runner of this whole entire goddamn shit show or yours!" I yelled as Warren looked at both of us "will you two stop bickering, puppies and kittens about two hundred yards out" she said. Hammond looked back at us "Coleman you and Garnett will stay with Murphy and the baby, the rest of us will go take out the z's", I rolled my eyes as everyone else went outside "still shouting orders" I muttered and sat back down. A few minutes went by and Warren and Hammond came back inside, Hammond pulled Murphy outside while Warren, Garnett, and I stayed inside for a moment "how's the baby?" Warren asked, "he's weak but he's there" I said as Warren and I heard a small growl, I looked over at the baby carrier and sighed the baby had turned, we were startled as it got up and ran across the room, we all moved to the side "kill it!" I shouted, All of a sudden the baby came running at us, we all hurried for the door, when we got outside we shut the door behind us, I took off past the truck as my already bad anxiety hag reached a peak, at that moment in time I doubled over not being able to breathe "what...the...absolute...f-" I said before blacking out.
