CHAPTER TWO
THE MISSIONS
Mark has had a great life. He has a wonderful lover and a big crowd of fans. He was labeled as an international zombie hunter. He remembered the traffic jam and the publicity he and Diego attracted. And what the news didn't cover was the hardest part for Mark to explain.
Roanoke was a considered "the lost colony." And the reason why it's called that is because the colony disappeared. Mark and Diego found the colony but never reported it. So many people believed it was still lost.
He met up with Donny. Believe it or not they attend the same college. They entered a room and sat quietly. Martina Yuri entered, she was Donny's girlfriend. Then entered Elena Valdes, a boy named Edward's girlfriend. And then Edward, with a box he was ordered to bring.
Mark signaled for everybody to quiet down. He slapped a stack of notes on the table. They were the missions Diego had never completed.
"Hello everyone, my name is Mark Everest." Mark said.
"Hello Mark." Everyone said. Just like third graders, Mark thought.
"As you know we have a summer off. It's just around the corner." He said. "I have here a bunch of assignments that we need to complete before we graduate this year."
Edward gazed at the stack and asked, "Those?"
"Yes, and since you noticed would you fill your box with these?" Mark asked, taking a rubber band off the stack of assignment.
"Sure." Edward said, standing up and bringing the box to Mark's side. He took the stack and threw it into the box. He then shuffled it around mixing the assignments around.
"Now, find a partner for the assignments."
Edward got together with Elena while Donny gets together with Martina. Mark had no one.
"Anyone call for an extra?" A voice called from the doorway.
