Episode 2

Radio Waves

The cold bit their faces, the winds howling through the trees and seemingly slicing their skin as moved forward, the sun barely rising into the sky.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion since The Pestilence had come about. Nothing seemed quick-paced unless they were running from a walker.

But even still, the adrenaline that had once pumped through their veins when filled with such axcitment from the chase, was now gone. Adrenaline rarely came about and it seemed as though it was a normal everyday thing to do: Run away from these savage creatures.

But now, in the still winter morning, their hearts were hollow, their spirits crushed and everything seemed off-balance. Their hopes were beginning to become lost in the chase for this detective and some of them were even starting to believe that perhaps, detective Coy, went into hiding.

Or maybe he was dead..

A walker?

Maybe.

There were all sorts of possibilities. All sorts of different angles to look at the reason as to why they couldn't find the man.

But each and every one of them became more and more believeable.

"This is worthless...we're never gonna find this guy...I mean, he's nationally known..he could be in Japan for all we know." Monica said flatly as she trudged through the snow, her red-converse becoming more and more frozen by the second.

"But we don't have anything else to do..I mean..what else can we do?" Matt replied, not missing a beat. His response was dry and used a many of times, if it was just the winters crisp wind or his actual tone, everybody knew but nobody wanted to say.

"This.." Geniveve began, letting out a pent in sigh as she looked at the dead trees around her and then at the footprint that scattered the winter ground.

There had been a heard of night-walkers during the night, that was plainly clear.

"This is how the world ends.." She swallowed and looked up into the sky that was a light blue but to her, it was a light grey...

"..not with a bang..but a whimper.."

It was quiet again amongst the group. No one dared to say a word because in their minds, they all knew this was true. Hope was fleeting fast and without a net, they couldn't catch it.

It was dark, the full moon flashing brightly in the sky as though the world was the same place. It almost seemed taboo to see the sun and moon rise each and everyday, unaffected by The Pestilence and to them, the Earth was so insignificant..so...bland.

Danny moved the knob on the old timey radio again that sat within the living room of the house as another thick crunch sound emitted from the hallway.

He glanced over and watched as Destiny gave another Walker a kick to the head, seemingly the last one.

"I believe the house is clear now.." She sighed as she brushed the front of her black tube top off and gave a small smile at the dead man on the floor, a sickly shade of green overtaken his face.

"Well I should hope so..that was only the eighteenth one.." Danny murmured as he fiddled again with the knob.

"I don't think you're gonna get signal on that thing..just leave it alone.." Zach whispered looking out into a different area of the house, a dark corner...his eyes moved along the walls until they finally stopped on the radio and then looked up to the man who was now staring into his own eyes.

"Well..it's worth a shot isn't it?" Danny murmured turning himself back around, fumbling with it once again, static the only thing coming through.

Zach blinked a couple times and shrugged, looking back into the dark corner of the house.

The familiar thick air set about again and the stifiling silence filled the room. It was almost sickening until a voice finally broke it like fine china.

"Hello."

The voice shocked them, literally. Their heads pounded, the adrenaline rush coming back to them again, giving them a familiar sense of excitment and fear.

'This is Coy. To answer your questions I know that you must be wanting to ask, Yes, I can hear you. I placed cameras along with microphones in every house on this mountain so that means I can also see you and, Yes, I know that you are wanting to find me. So that leaves only one question..'

"Where are you?" Danny came forward bluntly, looking around the room as though the man himself were inside the room, hiding.

"I'm actually a bit ways away.." The voice replied, flat..monotonous yet it seemed to have a sort of exasperated tone clinging to it, only slightly detached..

"Well we've walked a bit ways away to find you, I don't think another few miles will kill us if you just give us directions." Danny replied looking around the room to make sure that everyone felt the same, even in a time such as this, they weren't trying to run a dictatorship.

"...Right. I didn't think so." The voice almost sounded as though it were slightly dissapointed in their choice to continue on, but at the same time, uninterested. So they ame to a conclusion that you must have had to be able to see his expressions to truly know what he might be thinking..to even get a close estimate.

The very thought of being able to actually do this seemed to push exhiliration through each and every one of them.

"Alright.." He sighed and the next moment it sounded as though something was in his mouth, "..it's not too awfully far to be honest.."

He swallowed.

"If you keep going in the direction you were, it's just about a mile. There's a crater..there and you'll be on the ledge of it. If you look, there's a hotel. There's only one hotel so you shouldn't get confused...make your way there. I'm in room two thirty-seven."

Then the voice was gone, replaced by static once again, leaving no time to question the mysterious man.

Okay, so I promised a longer and more interesting chapter and I know this isn't it..haha. Sorry, but trust me..next chapter will be better and then the next chapter after that? It'll be awesome, just stick with me here. It's going to get good really soon! Just getting it all set up, haha!
