~~~~~Chapter 4: Death's Invitation~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wally and Garr both laid on the roof hidden by a plaster wall but it had holes to there rifles could poke threw and see the entire stretch of the lawn. Down below a black motorcycle sat idling with a man dressed in black with a shiny black helmet with a black visor covering any part of his head, he even wore black gloves so you couldn't tell what his skin color was. He was sitting on it just staring at the house. A minute went by and the engine was cut off and the mysterious figure took his weight off the bike and sat up straight.
"What do you think he wants?" Garr whispered to Wally, not taking his eyes off the guy below.
"I don't know for sure, but maybe he thinks this house is deserted and want's to stay here… or raid it for supplies." Wally whispered back.
The figure pulled off his helmet to reveal he was a guy that looked about there age with black spiky hair gelled back and before he could open his eyes he pulled out a pair of sunglasses to cover them. His black trench coat blew in the breeze that swept by and he smirked at the roof.
"Do you think he see's us?" Garr asked.
"Hey!" The guy lifted a hand and waved it with that smirk still on his face.
"Yeah, he see's us" Wally sighed and narrowed his eyes on the coat when the wind blew and saw two guns in holsters at his side.
"Drop you're weapons!" Wally cried.
The guy just sighed but complied as he took out the two gun's and then knife from his boot, and then a staff that extended from somewhere behind his back. He then moved away from the small pile and looked back up smiling.
"Friends! I'm not here to hurt you! I bring security and safety! Food and shelter!" He called out.
"What are you babbling about?" Garr called out.
"If you could just invite me in I could explain everything!" The man in black called out.
"Should we let him in with Jinx and Raven here?" Garr asked Wally.
Wally looked down then to Garr and sighed, "Tell them to wait in the other room out of sight, also give them weapons, just in case this guy goes crazy. I'll head down and talk to him before we let him in."
Garr nodded and army crawled to the opening where the ladder was and went down to do his job.
Wally casted the guy one last glance before standing up with his gun lowered. He looked down to him and then went to the exit to meet him at the door. Once Wally opened the door he looked at the boy who was still smirking like a cat.
Once Wally collected the weapons from the ground he had the guy follow him inside. Once he was in Garr came downstairs with a blank look on his face and he shut and locked the door.
"You're very trusting" Wally commented once they reached the living room.
"Well I bring peace, so why would I give any reason other then to show just that?" He sat down on the couch and looked around.
"So what's you're name stranger?" Garr stood across from him with a raised eyebrow.
The guy smirked again and looked to the fire in the fireplace, that kept the cottage warm.
"My name is Richard Wayne, and like I said I bring you safety and security" He looked back to the two men.
"What do you mean by that?" Wally asked.
"Let me start from the beginning." He leaned back and stretched his arms over the couch.
"When all of this went down to first to fall were the police, then the hospitals, the military, then the government, and next the nation. We all know this beginning very well." He glanced back to the fire that reflected off his sunglasses.
"A week into the infection, there was chaos everywhere. When it came to jolly old England… well shit hit the fan. But when the military and government failed to protect us, there was one man that stood up above everything else." Richard took on an excited glow.
"He was a professor at Cambridge, and with his amazing mind and calm thinking he did what all the nations and government's couldn't do" Richard smirked.
"What was that?" Garr asked.
"He created a safety zone that can never fall." He said in a low voice.
"What do you mean it can't fall? What makes that safe zone so special?" Wally asked his eyes narrowing slightly."
"There was this gated community near the college where he taught. Once the infestation went down, he got and army of his student's, myself included, and anyone who would help and cleared out the infected from the gated community. By the end of the day they had a huge city quarantined. This community has over 70 houses surrounded by a large brick wall, and before that wall is a cast iron fence that is taller then the brick wall. Everyone inhabited the houses, and we established a community. In total there are 43 adults, and 3 children. We all live in blissful happiness." Richard spread his arms smirking as if that explained it all.
"What about food? Supplies?" Garr asked.
"And what about the infected trying to get in?" Wally didn't want to trust this guy, something was off about him.
"Just like any community, everyone has job's, and if you don't do your work you can't stay at the community. We have a special team that goes out into the city's and scavenges food, clothing, medicine, luxuries, and more. Another job are finder's, that's what my job is. I search the city's and country sides and find survivors that meet the qualifications of coming into the community.
"Qualifications?" Garr asked.
"Yes… For example, you and your friend here… I've been watching you for a few days now… and the two ladies upstairs"
Garr and Wally both tensed up and there grips on there guns tightened. Richard threw his hands up.
"Woah! Easy! I said I wouldn't harm you guys. What I meant by watching, I was just making sure you treated them alright. In our community we don't condone beating women or children. Which brings me back to qualifications…"
Wally and Garr both eased a bit and backed off slightly, as Richard sighed.
"You all are very nice people, you men are fit for good job's, and the women are nice, yet perfect for the job's we have the women do?"
"And what job's are those?" Jinx called out as her and Raven both came down the stairs with there arms crossed and walking into the room with a strong face on.
"Raven Jinx! I told you both to stay upstairs until we gave the ok" Garr groaned.
"We heard that he already knows about us, and we've been listening so we want to be here for this." Rave smirked at the annoyed look Garr was giving them, but she thought it was cute.
"Hello ladies" Richard stood up and bowed slightly to them which caused both girls to look at him slightly confused.
"What job's do the women have?" Jinx asked again.
Richard straightened up and looked to both of them, "Job's like doing laundry, dividing the supplies, but it's not as sexist as it sounds, we have 5 women on the scavenging team, and 4 on the construction team for building another wall around the city, and 2 are teachers for the children and so on" Richard put his hands behind his back.
Jinx smiled softly, "That sounds amazing"
Garr nodded, "Ya it does"
Wally shook his head, "But what about weapons?"
Richard shrugged, "Like any community you're not allowed to carry a weapon on you while inside the compound, but we do have all of our guards at the walls armed, and we have a house entirely stocked with ammo, and weapons. We raided a deserted military base and took all of the weapons and stock so we are as well equipped as the military once was."
Wally looked to everyone and then back to Richard, "Do you mind if we talk this over?"
Richard nodded, "I actually must be getting back to the compound. Tomorrow morning I will return with a car and if you wish to come to our community, we will welcome you with open arms… but if you choose to stay here and fight each day for survival and food, we will accept that as well…. But this invitation will only be sent out once… After that… you will not see me again. If you choose to come, pack your belongings but only things that are necessary." Richard made his way to the door and Wally let him out and the four watched as he walked to his motorcycle.
"Until tomorrow my friends!" He put on his helmet and got on his cycle and started it up, then made his way down the path into the forest.
Once he was out of sight Wally closed the door and everyone was quiet.
"So we could all throw out our thoughts at once but I think first thing first we take a vote… if we stay or if we go… if anyone votes to stay we all sit down and talk about it." Wally said and everyone nodded.
"Ok… who votes we go?" Wally looked around.
Garr and Raven both looked to each other and raised there hands.
Wally looked to Jinx and she gave him a small smile and raised her hand as well. Wally then raised his and after a few seconds Wally smiled, "Then we pack out bag's… were moving out tomorrow"
All of them smiled and there minds began to think of the happy community that waited them.
Far off as the motorcycle hit the main road to go around the city, Richard heard a crackling in the side of the helmet he was wearing and a voice spoke to him threw a radio.
"Com. Base to Robin…. Have you made contact with the group? Over." The voice asked.
"Enough with the code names Vic! Gosh you watch to many spy movies" Richard growled.
"Number one… My tech office, my radio transmitters, my rules, and one of my rules is we all get cool coke names! And number two, you need to say 'Over' when finishing a response… over" The voice growled back.
"FINE GOD DAMN IT! Yes I have made contact with the group" Richard mumbled.
"…. annnddd?" Vic said in a teasing tone.
"Over…." Richard gritted his teeth.
"Did they agree to come back with you?" He asked.
"They said they would talk it over, so I'm coming back tomorrow… but they bought it hook line and sinker, Over…" Richard smirked
"Excellent… you know HE will be so proud of you" Vic had a smirking tone, forgetting about there whole ending conversations with 'over'.
"I only live to serve him after what he's done for me…" Richard's eyes took on a demented look.
"Well get back here, you know he doesn't like to be kept waiting" The line was thick with tension.
Richard passed a group of zombies feasting upon a woman on the side of the road and he ignored them.
"I will never keep Professor Slade waiting" Richard chuckled and ended the transition, and took a turn down a road with all the car's moves into the grass leaving a clean drive for a couple of miles.
