Chapter 13: The flying Murder
Mr.X rose from his crouching position and stared at President Graham, he was the target and had to be eliminated. As the Tyrant made his way over to the President who had stumbled back upon seeing the massive monster, he felt two bullets hit him in the back of the head. Unfazed, he turned around and saw Leon aiming his pistol at Mr.X, smoke creeping out of the barrel.
"I killed you once, guess I gotta do it again." Leon said before firing again into the monster's chest. Suddenly Mr.X uncharacteristically started running full speed and charged into the agent sending him flying through the wall and crashing into the hall. Mr.X then turned back to the President and after swatting away several flying debris the President had thrown to protect himself, he grabbed the President by the throat and was about to crush his throat when he felt a sharp object enter his leg. He turned around and again there was Leon, his knife embedded in Mr.X's thick calf. Getting angry, he threw Graham at Leon and sent them both flying back out into the hall.
"We gotta out of here, , hopefully Delta Team is still at that Wal-Mart." Leon and Graham got to their feet and ran down the hall, Mr.X slowly but surely followed them.
"Here we are...Matt's Gunshop." Rebecca said opening the door slowly, the store was fairly lit and racks of guns and ammo could be seen everywhere. Rebecca grabbed two handguns and grabbed 4 clips for both guns, Billy grabbed 2 cases of shells and placed the 14 shells in his pockets. The other survivors each grabbed a pistol and a clip of ammo.
"So,should we head to the police station now?" Billy asked reloading his shotgun.
"Sounds good to me, let's just hope the police made it." The group exited the store and were about half way to the police station when they heard wings flapping. Turning around, they saw about a hundred black crows resting on a pole, their red eyes staring at their potential meals.
Caw Caw Caw the Crows shreiked as they flew off the pole and headed for the group.
"Run!" Rebecca screamed and fired two rounds at the blood thristy birds." As the group ran through the streets, the birds got closer and closer, suddenly one of the survivors, an 11 yr old boy tripped and fell to the ground. The Crows landed on him and vicously pecked the boy as the boy screamed in pain, Rebecca shot several of the crows which sent them flying back giving Rebecca a chance to check the boy, he was dead. The mother and brother of the dead boy tried to go back for him but Rebecca got in their way.
"He's dead, we gotta keep running, they're coming back!" Rebecca said and the three caught up with the group as the flock of crows pursued them. They finally made it to the Washington police department and after Billy cleared the way of a few undead, ran to the doors.
"If the doors locked, we're don't be locked!" Billy thought as he went to open the doors, luckily they opened and the group and ran inside and they slammed the doors shut as the birds started to slam themselves into the double doors.
Author's notes: Well Billy, Rebecca and the survivors made it to the police station but lost a child to the crows. What awaits them inside the police station...plus can Leon and the President avoid Mr.X and meet up with Delta team? Stay tuned...
PS...Murder is the name for a group of crows...seems to fit these crows since they killed a child
