Episode 1

Pilot

The clocked ticked omniously in the background, each waking second becoming more and more of burden on each of them as they watched the snow fall to the ground.

It was almost mocking them: That cold weather that each and every one of them knew that they couldn't possibly survive though. It would be a fools man dream to do so.

Who knew if they would be able to find another safe house to hide in by nightfall and who knew how many of the Walkers were putsing around the mountain.

"Please..somebody say something, I can't take this silence..." A girl with long blonde hair and large, innocent blue eyes pleaded, her large eyelashes batting in an almost pleading manner.

Her voice was soft-spoken and innocent but her words trembled in fear, this was Ashley.

Another woman in the room, Aayilah, put a hand on her head, resting her elbow on the dark oak wood, tracing a finger in the patterns of the table. "...How did you hear about Coy?"

The name rang out through the room for a moment, it's shadowy sound vibrating and hanging within the thick air. Who was Coy?

For gods sake, no one had even ever seen the man before, yet he still held the rank as top detective..in the entire world..

It was the man they were looking for currently, the last name to be uttered on all broadcasting stations. Wether it be on television or radio. He, himself, of course never spoke through to the public, but the news and major goverment branchs always said that he was on the case.

They all were familiar with how cases turned out when Coy began working on them. Coy wouldn't stop. He didn't know the meaning of the word.

He was definietly no quitter, even if it meant death.

Or so they presumed.

They were sure though, that if the question were asked to him, he would respond in a similar fashion.

He would solve the case if it meant death.

Flipping cases like hamburgers, he truly was a record breaker. He was..genius..

But how could you find a man who you had never even heard the voice of? Never seen? No clues to where they were even? This brought on many reservation in their minds, but what else did they have to do? Lie out in the sun and bake on a Walker infested beach?

The silence clung on in the air for a few moments, like some kind of bad cologne, until someone broke the silence.

"Well..I first heard him on the radio..." Matthew murmured softly, scratching the back of his head nervous as he leaned over the slick table before letting a small smile crack on his lips, "I was driving home..ya' know? I mean..everything was fine then..everything was good. I was driving home..the pestilence..

"..well..it wasn't there yet and..it was the last radio broadcast I heard..the news reporter said, 'And now just in..the world can feel safe once again, The famous detective, Coy, is now on the case from what I've heard..' Then it went off..it all went to static..

"..then when I looked out of my window..there they all were..it was an infestation of..Walkers.."

It was quiet again around the room, it was true..

It was as though everything was normal and then all of a sudden, everything stopped in mid-motion. Everything became centered aroud the Day-Walkers and the Night-Walkers.

Two totally different things..in a way..

"They're so gross..I mean..I don't even get what they are.." Ashley whispered biting her bottom lip and staring off into the snow from the open window.

"They're walkers..Day-Walkers and Night-Walkers.."

"There's a difference between them?" Ashley asked with a raised eyebrow at the person who had answered her previous question, it was Danny..

"Well, yeah..Day-Walkers..well..they have a really good sense of sight..but there hearing is terrible and they're aren't as violent. The Night-Walkers are vise versa..the complete opposite of Day-Walkers..and I bet there is other differences too..we just haven't seen them yet.."

Ashley cringed and gave a disgusted look as she sighed and leaned back, hearing the creak of the antique chair. "Well..I don't want to see the differences..you can do that on your own time.."

"When I first heard about Coy..I was at home..watching the news..."

A sudden rough voice interupted their failing battle, it belonged to Robert Lee..the old war veteran..

"I was just watching the Seven O'clock news before going out for a short go around the block and the reporter was talking about how the 'California Murder Cases' were solved once and for all, the serial killer arrested and everything..it was amazing how that sunuvabitch could solve anything thrown at him..I'd seen it a couple more time after that, ya' know? About how he had done it once again..and again..

It was as if..he weren't real though..I mean, of course he's real but..no one had ever seen him, heard him, anything. At some point you'd think.."

He stopped there, looking distantly into the dark corners of the room before he sighed and shook his head, "THe sunuvabitch can do any damn thing and I don't doubt that."

"When I first heard about him..I was watching the news too..I was sitting by my brother and I couldn't help but find hope by just hearing his name..Coy...it seemed like it was the answer..not too long after...my brother died...I knew I had found my purpose..it was to go after Coy." Clarissa murmured.

It was quiet in the air for a moment, as every took a moment of silence in respect, and when it passed, another voide continued off.

"I've been following up on Coy for a long time..I've tuned in to every case he has attempted and solved since he has never failed a case or given up.." Aayliah began saying softly, the dim light shining through the window hitting the sequins on her skirt.

"I'm kinda like a fan of his.." Aayliah finished.

It was quiet again in the room, for only the umpteenth time that day.

"No matter how we heard of him, no matter why we are going to him. We all have the same reasoning in the end.." Matthew said as he stood up, pushing in his dusty chair and sweeping off some dust from his trousers.

"..The Pestilence.." He finished looking around the room at the different people who occupied it, "And I think, for the good of us all, we should all go to bed now..big day tomorrow ya' know.."

Everyone silently agreed with unspoken words that bit their tongues.
