"Remember what I said, Don't you ever forget" said Mark, handing Dan an empty gas can.
"I won't and I'm grateful, are you sure you're not coming?" asked Dan looking between Mark and Kyle.
"No we have business here" said Mark firmly.
"I don't know how to repay you" said Dan.
" It's not like money matters" Mark chuckled. "But that girl, you're girlfriend, if you find her, you don't waste anytime because you don't get to anymore, you do what you have to do to show her you love her, before the time runs out" said Mark looking away sadly.
"Thank you" said Dan, not knowing what else to say.
They shook hands and Dan patted Kyle on the shoulder, before Dan went to find that bicycle girl.
Mark and Kyle went back into their house after saying their goodbyes.
"Stay here son, I just have to go upstairs and do something" said Mark.
"Okay dad" Kyle replied.
Mark went up the stairs, hands shaking, he had to do this, he knew he had to do this. Mark went into the bedroom and pulled out his nipper rifle from under the bed before balancing it on the window sill. Mark could have pulled the trigger, but he didn't.
"Come on , come on" he sobbed.
He aimed it again at his dead wife's head but looked to the left and saw the framed picture of her and couldn't bring himself to shoot. Mark took the rifle away and rubbed his eyes, this was the worst nightmare he's ever had.
Dan walked along the path with his revolver in his belt, looking for that girl, he needed to put her out of her misery. Dan saw the bike and then the dead girl, she hadn't even moved and started reaching out again when she saw Dan. Dan walked up to the creature and crouched down.
"I'm sorry this happened to you" said Dan softly before aiming the gun and pulling the trigger.
Zoe was folding her clothes in her tent, thinking about what she was doing with Chase, how wrong it felt, how easy it felt, she needed comforting and Chase was the solution. Chase needed it too, Dan was his best friend and he was affected too. Zoe was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard someone get in her tent, she turned and it was Chase, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You startled me" said Zoe.
"I seem to be doing that a lot lately" said Chase.
When Zoe didn't laugh and looked down sadly, Chase gently pulled her chin up with his finger.
"What's wrong?" asked Chase.
" It's Carl" said Zoe.
"What about him?" asked Chase, feeling uneasy.
"When should I tell him? how do I tell a young boy his father figure, his role model is dead?" asked Zoe.
Chase couldn't help but fell hurt, surely Carl looked up to him now.
"Hey, whenever you feel ready to tell him, you'll do it, and it'll be okay, he just lost Dan, I don't want him to lose you too" said Chase.
Zoe sighed away the tears.
"You're right" she whispered.
She grabbed his shirt gently and he puled in for a kiss. It was soft at first, but Chase pulled in harder, clutching the back of Zoe's head. They broke apart suddenly when Carl walked in, luckily he hadn't seen anything.
"Mum, my necks itchy" said Carl, touching a spot under his hair.
"He calls you mum?" Chase asked Zoe whispering, Zoe nodded.
"Let me see" said Zoe.
Chase went to look as well and chuckled.
"That's a spot kiddo, the joys of the early stages of becoming a teenager, your officially a new member of the pubitarious" said Chase.
"What does that even mean?" asked Carl, confused and looking up at Zoe.
"Don't ask me, it's a boy thing" Zoe said before winking a Chase.
Zoe kissed carl on the head and turned toward Chase.
"Could you give us a minute?" she asked.
Chase nodded.
Zoe crouched down to Carl's level.
"Carl I just want you to know I'm right here, your mama's not going anywhere" said Zoe.
"I know" said Carl.
Dan felt like he'd walked for miles now, he just couldn't find a gas station, plenty of cars, but no gas station. Dan sighed, this was going to be harder than he thought. Dan kept walking, until he saw something, something which made his eyes water with excitement. A perfect motorbike, was standing there, gleaming in the sunlight. Dan walked over to it and let his hand slide over the soft fabric, the leather was so smooth. Dan then realized this was a zero motorcycle, which was very silent, it would still make a little bit of noise.
Dan thought about it.
"Screw it I'm taking this" he said to himself.
Aneisha pulled a map out over the back of the car.
"Okay, so the city centre is perfect, get in, get what we need and get out" she said.
"Sorry Neish, not quite as simple as that, more like, attempt to get in, try not to get called, search the whole city centre for essentials we don't even know are there and try to get out without being a meal for a herd of creepers" said Tom.
"Creepers?" asked Christie.
Aneisha and Tom smiled at her, then at each other.
"Reminds me of old times" said Aneisha.
"Hmm the good all times" said Tom.
Aneisha giggled.
"I guess our biscuit Tom hasn't completely hidden his real self" said Aneisha.
"I guess miss sarcastic hasn't completely lost her drama queen side" said Tom sarcastically.
Aneisha stuck her tongue out at him.
"You guys are so childish, it's unbelievable" said Kloe.
"Come on guys focus, the city centre is perfect, we'll go there" said Connor.
Everything was planned and everyone gathered round to say goodbye.
Anna and Christie's goodbye was emotional, Aneisha believed in Connor and knew he would be okay, so their goodbye was short and sweet. Tom and Kloe looked at each other and nodded, Kloe believed that everyone would be back, and that they should share the rears for the reunion later.
As the car drove off, it suddenly hit everyone that they had to get back to work immediately because four extra hands had gone.
The work never ends.
Dan was entering the City now and he could hear some shuffles, but that was nothing to worry about. The place looked wrecked, it was like it because the army had clear every living person out of the City, there were tanks and everything. He stopped for a minute and looked in his pocket and took out the crumpled picture of everybody at the team at Saint Hearts, he ran his thumb against Zoe's smiling face. He just had to find her.
Dan thought about what Mark had said and how he should show his love to Zoe when he found her. An idea had been burning in Dan's head for ages and he wasn't sure if there was any point, but he could make it mean something. Dan looked to the left and saw a jewellery shop. He climbed over his bike and walking into the little store. There were many of what he was looking for but one caught his eye, it was beautiful, silver with a big diamond in the centre and two smaller ones either side, it was perfect and probably Zoe's fit. Dan put it in his pocket before walking out of the shop and climbing back on his bike.
Dan heard growls and moans and more shuffling than he did before. He looked up and saw a whole heard limping furiously fast towards him. Dan panicked and turned the bike in the opposite direction, only to be met by another herd. Dan was stuck and didn't know what to do. He spotted and tank from earlier and fell off his bike trying to get to it. The two herds came together and tried to surround Dan, he quickly scurried under the tank and turned around on the ground, seeing the the dead had followed him under. Dan began to shoot as many as he could, but there were just too many. Dan looked up and held the barrel to his head.
"Zoe, Carl I'm sorry" said Dan.
Before he could pull the trigger he saw a way in the tank from the bottom, he quickly climbed in there and shut the steel turret.
Dan was shaking and sweating, he could hear his fast heartbeat and he had a painful headache, just when he thought things couldn't get worse.
Dan heard a loud voice and jumped, hitting his head on the roof of the tank. Dan found that the voice was coming from a transmitter.
"Hello?" Dan asked, shaking.
"Yeah you asshole, cozy in there?"
oohhhhh, cliffhanger. who could that be? please review ~ Ella xx
