Chapter two: Meet the Team
Just then there was a banging on the both looked over, me trying to get up. "Stay down." She said, with worry on her voice. Soon the banging erupted again. but this time followed by a gruff voice." God damn it, open up Reb', its us." She un tensed and went to the battered red metal door and opened it in a hurry. What happen nest went like this, a man in battered bloody and torn military uniform, carrying an old looking M-16, he seemed who had seen it all, and was tierd of it. Following close behind was a man in a bloody suit carrying an axe and a pistol at his hip, he looked as if he could con us out of every thing we all owned. Next came a teenage girl who was carrying, by the looks of it a chainsaw, she wore a blue hoody and jeans, she seemed blood thursty, it was the look in her eye.
So this was her group an A tierd soilder, a conman. and a teenager. How they had survived this, he was not sure, by who was he to queston providence. "Wha' took you so long?" This was the girl, she spoke in a mixture of anger and disrespect. "The hord was right behind us!" She walked over to the couch in the corner laid down the chainsaw, and fell on the couch with a thump. "Sally, shut-it, she got to us, were alright, end of story." The soilder retorted. He looked over to me. "Oh so the crshed man live'th, namesPrivate first-class Brandon Simms, you?" He raised his hand,I shook it. "Richard Cox" I simled, kid seemed barley over 20.
I looked over to the girl to the girl who was aprarently named Sally, then to the man who had had the axe, he ws sitting in a chair smokeing, He looked over to me as I staired over at him."And I guess you'll be wanting to know my name."He smerked."Well it's nick, whats your name, I didn't catch it?" Before I could answer, Sally interupted me," The crippled guys name is Richard, defo." Everybody looked over at her me with anoyance, Nick with clear anger, Rebeca with a kind of sadness, and Brandon, well he seemed to not notice he had goten up into a chair near a widow, on look out.
About an hour later I tried to get up useing Rebeca to lean on. I could walk slowly at first, almost falling twice. He limped around the basement while Sally laughed, Nick stares at me and Rebeca in bemusement. Brandon looks back at us, then back at the window seeming not to care." Hey guys,"It was Sally,"we gonna eat or what?" I had to agree, I was starveing. Brandon got up from his post,*Sigh*,"Alright, I guess we can, whos turn is it?" Nick kind of slumped back in his chair, Rebeca noticed this and smile,"Ah, it's Nicks turn, wasn't it?" He gave her a death stare and left for the chow hall.
"So crippy what ou do before all this shit went down?" I gave her a hard stare, I could tell I was nt going to like this girl." I was a police officer, down in Baltimore." She blinked, then laughed,"Really, oh thats rich, well it explanes the uniform we found you in. or around you." Ya not going to like her. I tried to ask what Rebeca what she had done but all she said was a doctor, nothing .
Brandon was setup in the city when the infection hit, he had lost his squade and he was all that was left. He was a bit jumpy, a nervous man, I understood why. I had lost a good amout of friends on the force, a lot of friends. I limped over to the window were brandon was, I could see why he sat there. From the window we had a good vantage point of the street, even in the basement." You should'nt be moveing." He said this in a passing manner."But we were gonna need you to move soon anyway, were leveing in a day, we gotta get to the hospital soon."
About Sbout an hour later , after Dinner, it was lights out. There were some sleeping bags on the floor. "Night." I slept in the cot, because of the broken ribs. "Ya, ya, night." Sallysaid and got into her sleeping bag.I looked over to Rebeca who only shrugged and turned over. Nick rolled his eyes. Brandon, who was still at his post did not move."Uh, Brandon you comeing to bed?" He jumped,"Hu?" He looked over to me."No gotta be on the look out, always watch for them." He muttered 'them' and some curses to him self as I, a bit freaked, wet to sleep.
