~~~~~~Chapter 13: Going Down in Flames~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kori was eating her breakfast when Jericho busted in looking at her franticly and she stood with his help.
"Is it Richard? Is he ok?" She asked but was pulled out of the house to the clinic.
Once there she saw Richard standing over a woman with black hair and pale skin. She looked over the love of her life with worried eyes and once she was satisfied he was ok she moved to the woman's side and looked back to Richard.
"What's her story?" She asked.
"Helicopter accident, there's four others coming in as well." As he said this some construction men brought in the other guys and Raven came in after them tugging on her white coat and putting on her stethoscope.
"What's going on?" She went to the largest of the men on the tables and checked his heart.
Richard explained to her how he found them and backed away to let them work. Kori worked on the woman while Raven took down the vitals of each male.
Richard helped Raven take the pilot's helmet off and Raven looked to his vitals and bit her lip.
"He's dead" She placed a white sheet over his body and turned to the other three men.
Richard kept his eyes on the body while the women worked.
"Check for bite marks" Richard said and both women nodded as they looked for wounds.
Raven moved to the white haired man and unbuttoned his shirt to see a pale white chest with no marks but as they rolled up she met icy blue eyes staring back at her. Raven gasped and jumped back as Richard jumped in front of her.
"What's… where… ugh my head" The man said grasping his head.
"You're safe, Richard saved you from the crash" Raven said from behind Richard.
"Crash?" He looked down in thought and as if everything came back to him he gasped.
"How is everyone?" He looked over to the sheet and grimaced.
"Who is that?" He pointed.
Raven walked over to the sheet and lifted it up, "The pilot… sorry for you're loss" She covered him back up and walked to the other men while Richard watched him.
"Can you tell me the names of yourself and you're friends?" Kori asked as she cleaned dried blood from the woman's chin.
"Um… My name is Malchior, and our pilot's name was Hal Jordan… He saved our life's" He trailed off into silence and shook his head after a few seconds.
"Her name is Lauren Tom, and the two other men are Jonny, and Katarou." He winced and grabbed his side.
"Careful you might have a broken rib. Just stay there and don't move" Raven said as she checked over the muscular large male names Jonny. He had black spiky hair, large bulging upper body with tattoo's down his arm, and dark rings under his eyes.
Kori looked over the woman and signed, "She's bite free, and besides a broken arm she is fine." Kori moved over to bandage the woman's arm.
"So do both these men, not a bite on them" Raven looked over Katarou and noticed his tan skin and that his muscles were just as large as Jonny's. The Asian man had only a few bumps and cuts which was lucky for him.
"What's you're story?" Richard asked Malchior.
"Well it's kind of a long story but here it is." He took a deep breath and began.
Malchior was in his school's library when the evacuation went out from the army. He didn't want to leave all the books he had yet to read behind. His university was huge, and the library was the 10th largest in the world. The building was completely desolate of human life except for his own as he watched from the roof as people tried to run to the building when the zombies chased them. The library sat upon a hill with 50 or so steps leading up to it. The steps were cluttered with dead bodies that tried to make it inside for shelter. No one made it and Malchior boarded up the building using book shelf's and other items he found around the building. The library was 3 stories tall with its own cafeteria on the third floor.
Malchior was alone for 4 months with just him and his books when one day he head commotion outside and went to check it out. From the roof he saw a small group of people fighting there was threw the zombie horde. After being alone for so long Malchior called out to them and lead them all to the back way where he let them in using the fire escape. Of the group, only 4 made it, Jonny, Katarou, Lauren, and the pilot who they called Hal.
Malchior made friends with Hal instantly as they bonded over adventure stories and love of knowledge. Jonny and Katarou just shunned his books and spent there time held up on the roof watching the zombies scurry around. Lauren was quiet and kept scratching her arms which Malchior noticed old marks on her arms. Hal told him he was a army pilot that saved a group from roof tops when they were being evacuated. He found Lauren on one roof with a group of men that had cocaine and other drugs. He told them they couldn't take drugs on the copter but they tried to bring them anyways. A fight broke out and Hal shot them all and brought Lauren with him. She was totally strung out as she kept asking for more drugs. The army base he was flying her to was actually under attack when he flew over it so he kept flying. They touched down in the next town and they met Katarou and Jonny who joined up with them and their group as they ran for shelter. They held up in a gas station for 2 months before leaving for food. Next they came to a old apartment building a few miles away and stayed there for 2 months. Finally a hoard attacked and they made a run for it to the city were the university was. There was a recent fire there but it went out leaving the school burnt to a crisp but the library standing perfect since it was across the street on a hill.
The months went by and Malchior looked up to Hal like a father. Lauren became better with time and with Hal's help she found herself again and confessed to her horrible life and the things she's done. She sold her body multiple times for a fix, and she's stolen food just about every day. She held up a convenient store at the age of 16 to get condoms for her and her drug dealer boyfriend. She didn't get them because the cops came but she did shoot the old man at the register in the leg. At the age of seventeen she got pregnant and that didn't stop her from doing drugs while she was carrying it. She burned down a woman's house that spelt with her boyfriend. Also when the zombie attack came she went to her old boyfriends house and offered her body to all the men as they provided her with drugs and safety.
Months after there stay in the library Jonny and Katarou began to get stir crazy and threaten them with guns if they didn't get out of there. Hal heard the crazy behind there voices and put together a radio to see if there were any stations where people were trying to communicate. A month went by and finally he hit a wave where he head someone asking for survivors. He contacted them and they said they were a large group of more them 200 at the edge of England at the pier taking off to Alaska where they got another radio signal saying there was no infection there. He told them the pier was safe and the army had moved there to move survivors to Alaska.
Hal ended the transition and after discussing it they decided to go back to the helicopter since he thinks he remember there being enough gas to get them to the pier. They left the library, which was very hard for Malchior and left to the helicopter. The trek was simple if they stayed to the ally way's and killed the zombies without being loud. Half way there they came across a horde of about 70 or so zombies and they ran the next ten miles until they came to a jeep and Jonny hotwired it to drive them away to safety.
Once to the helicopter Hal started it up and they took off for the pier. The view was indescribable from all the way up there. Cities burnt down, dark clouds coming from certain areas, and the thing that bothered Malchior the most was the ant like people walking the streets. If he let his mind wonder he could almost think of them as actual people, walking to there jobs, or milling about in there daily life to get to there destination. But the truth was they were not people, they were dead, and he needed to stop before he started to cry for the people he never thought of while back at his library. His books kept him company, kept his mind from wandering. Now he had no books… nothing except these people.
After a few hours of flying the helicopter began shaking.
"What's wrong?" Malchior asked as she held onto the bar above him.
"Ugh something's wrong with the engine! Were stalling!" He yelled and Lauren screamed as she held onto Malchior and closed her eyes.
"Hold on everyone were going down!" Hal called and tried to pull up so they weren't cone down into the earth
Everything seemed to go slow motion as the sound of beeping coming from the consol dulled to a low buzz and the screams from his fellow passengers began nothing but muted cries.
Before he knew it the copter hit the ground and everything went black.
Everyone listened intensely as the girls worked on the men and Kori felt sad for Hal dying.
"You got a call from the army about a base is Alaska?" Raven asked.
"That's a lie" Richard growled.
"No I swear! Hal and me were they when they called, it's at pier 23B and they have multiple boats loading out. They will stop soon though since there's only 3 boats left" Malchior glared to Richard who looked to Raven.
"Do you have any sedatives? He looks like he is going to go into a frenzy" He asked and Malchior stood and winced but began to back away.
"Don't touch me!" He made a dash for the door but Richard tackled him making him scream in pain.
Raven hesitated but Kori listened to her love as she grabbed a needle and pushed it into Malchiors neck. He thrashed around for a minute until he became weak and slowly stopped and fell asleep.
Richard got off him and lifted his body to the table.
"Sedate the others until I get back. I need to speak with Slade about our new arrivals." He turned and began to walk out as Kori entered a sedative into all of there blood streams.
Richard made his way to Slade's office and once inside he took the elevator up. When it opened he saw Terra sitting in the hallway with a suitcase and bloodshot eyes.
He just ignored her and walked to the office and knocked.
"Who is it?" Came Slades voice.
"Richard and I have important news to bring you" He said.
"Come in" Richard opened the door and Slade was as his desk reading some papers.
"I head you came back early with new arrivals?" Slade smirked as he folded his hands on the desk expectantly.
"I brought back five from the helicopter crash, the Pilot Hal died but the other four are promising to live." He looked down.
"Excellent, once the doctors patch them up I will visit them and explain the situation to them. They will be a fine addition to our community and-" Richard interrupted Slade.
"Sir" Slade looked to Richard annoyed.
"What?" He growled out.
"They know about the army base at the pier taking survivors to Alaska" Richard bowed his head.
"What!" Slade stood with his hands on the desk.
"I just talked with one of the survivors, Malchior is his name. He told me about how him and the pilot made radio contact with the base and they were heading to it when they crashed." Richard bit his lip at the angry look in Slade's eyes.
"Fuck, Richard if anyone finds out about that base-"
"I know sir… I know the consequences" Richard bowed his head.
"Where are they now?" He asked.
"I has Kori give them each a sedative so they will be out for awhile."
"Finally you did something right! Go back and tell Kori once they are patched up to restrain them and keep anyone from seeing them, not even Raven or your woman can be in the room with them when they wake up. Wait with them and I will be over shortly." He turned away from Richard and looked out over the compound of people walking around talking about the new survivors.
Richard left and saw Terra sitting in the same spot outside and rolled his eyes to her.
"I'm done talking with him if you want to go in and lay on your back." Richard turned away not seeing the tear slip down her face.
