When I first walked in I walked to the back of the house to the laundry room. I grabbed to hand fulls of dog food and put them in a bowl and set it on the floor. Duke and Nugget had followed me all the way to the laundry and started eating when I put the bowl down on the ground. Then I walked to the kitchen and poured me a glass of iced tea and walked to the living room and sat on the couch.
As I grabbed the remote to the TV Duke and Nugget came running in and jumped on the couch.
"Down." I said as I turned the TV.
When I turned the channel to channel 7 there was a reporter in the field what I was guessing was Albuquerque.
"The world is in utter pandemonium," the reporter said. "The cops have stated that they had to use deadly force. They shooting them in the chest but to no avail. They chief of police here in Albuquerque told reporters less than ten minutes ago they the casualties are rising the estimated in the hundreds to thousands. I am being to I ha..." The reporter said just before a man jumped out from behind the camera and talked the man. The camera dropped showing the man bite the reporter before the screen cut back the people at the studio.
"Oh my God" The anchorman said under his breath before he shook his head and continued. "I just pray that Keith is okay. This just in there are reports of this virus showing in Chicago, Boston, Dallas and even D.C. We have been informed that President Obama is being transported to somewhere secure and safe. Mayor of Albuquerque Richard Berry has released to board up your windows lock your doors and keep away from anyone that looks sick or ill." The anchorman continued but I turned the TV off and just sat there. I sat there what seemed like forever until Duke and Nugget bit my pants and pulled which awoke me from the trance that perplexed me. I got up and ran outside trying to figure out what to do.
"Crap that guys body is still there." I said aloud. "Better move it before Dawn gets home. She will freak out." I said walking towards the body. I picked it up (after making sure it was dead) and took it to the burn pit that we had which was about four feet deep and 5 feet wide that we used to burn our trash. When I was walking back to the house I heard tires hit our cattle guard, then I seen Dawn park the truck and start running towards me.
"JAMES!" She yelled as she came running towards me. When she got close enough to me she jumped to me and I caught her.
"I thought you would have been hurt, and if you were hurt I don't know what I would do without you," she said crying.
I hugged her and kissed her. "Dawn I am fine don't worry, go get changed and relax." I said trying to reassure her but refused to tell her I already met one. "I am going to get the generators and some wood from down at T-Wayne's house, if anything goes wrong get a gun and hide." I said looking at her in the eye.
"But Jam..."She said I as I interrupted her.
"Promise me," I said.
"Okay," She said as she was walking back to the house.
"Duke, Nugget watch after her," I told the dogs.
Duke and Nugget took off after Dawn and I walked to the truck and turned it on, wondering What if T-Wayne is not home? and What if something happens to Dawn? I thought to my self as I drove down the rode.
