15. May 2011, Zeppelin or Ship?
Over two weeks after the first infection
"Sabrina, we really have to make a decision. What is safer for the people? Traveling with a ship or with the zeppelin?", asked Mycroft, he looked tired and was walking holes into the carpet of the cardroom. Everybody was in the cardroom except Sherlock,John and Beverly, they were still doing their duties on the other decks and didn´t have time to attend the meeting.
"My opinion is, that the zeppelin is safer. We still don´t know how zombies react to water, if they die because of asphyxiation or if they can swim through the ocean. So a zeppelin would be safer. But there is also the problem with inventories. We won´t be able to take that much with us, so we would need to fly faster, but that would mean we would need more fuel.", replied Sabrina and finally Sarah spoke up:
"That´s no problem. We tuned the system so we will need only one refill on our journey and that would be in Iceland. Also have we enough space, we didn´t pick any families up since yesterday."
"Yeah, I know. I had planned to use a ship to get to Greenland, so a group of my best employees are waiting for us at the docks in Stornoway. They are a group of about eight people and all of them are professionals in their jobs. On the ship there are some inventories, we would need to move them, while some of my employees and probably some of the passengers to guard the whole ordeal, so there would be no sudden attack of zombies."
"We could easily ensure that. Sarah and I researched on some weapons to kill or stop zombies with almost no effort. I would like to volunteer for guarding so I could test the weapons in a real fight." Mycroft nodded and finally sat down.
"You may do as you wish, as long as you don´t endanger anybody else."
"Okay, when are we going to be in Stornoway?"
"In one day. The kids will stay on board. Sarah you will stay with them and accomodate our new passengers."
"Yes, Mycroft.", Sarah replied, she was sad to be left out of the fun, but her foot was still sprained and moving fast to react to a zombie attack wasn´t an option.
2011
The zeppelin landed near the docks, right next to the ship. The space was big enough so there were no problems. The eight new passengers waited already on the ground for our arrival. They all wore their black uniforms and a rifle in their hands. Two constantly watched the landing area to make sure, that no zombie was near and the others watched the zeppelin land.
Mycroft, Sabrina, Lisa, John and Lestrade were the first to greet them, they also wore their uniforms. Lisa had a big smile on her face, she really wanted to test her toys and now was the perfect chance.
"Mycroft, I am happy to see you.", greeted one of the soldiers with a big smile. He was as tall as Sherlock and looked like a military man.
"Ah, George! It´s good to see you too. How many zombies did you see, since you are here?"
"About ten, they are dead now. They showed up in a little group. That was two days ago and no sightings since then."
"Good, I still want the guards to be careful. But first get on the ship with your personal belongings, one of the ships technicians will get you settled." George nodded and followed John on board. Sarah already waited for them and a bright smile was suddenly on Georges face.
"Nobody told me, that you have such pretty girls on this zeppelin.", whispered George to John and nodded in Sarahs direction.
"Be careful, she can bite.", replied John with a smile and remembered their encounter from yesterday. John had destroyed the laptop in his office with medical datas and Sarah had tried to reanimate it. She was furious, when she saw the mess on his computer and gave him a stern talk, so he would treat his laptop better in the future. John nodded and luckily Sarah was able to revive the laptop.
"I like tough little Ladys." George chuckled and moved in Sarahs direction.
"Hello, my name is Sarah Kinlan, I will bring you to you cabins and show you around the ship.", Sarah greeted the small group with a friendly smile, it grew even friendlier, when she looked in Georges direction. The group nodded and only George moved forward to personally introduce himself. He bowed fluently right in front of her, grabbed her hand and kissed it gently.
"My name is George Denham. Pleased to meet you, little Lady." Sarah blushed a dark crimson and John desperatly tried to stiffle his laugh. Suddenly Sherlock and Oliver ran trough the corridor, almost knocked the new passengers over and disapperead again in another corridor.
"What was that?", asked George with a frown. He just had seen a mop of black curls and a little boy with white hair.
"That were Sherlock and Oliver and there she comes. Better move out of the way." Sarah pulled on Georges arm, when only seconds later Beverly appeared in the narrow corridor.
"I will find you two! And you will clean up the mess you made in the card room and in the kitchen!", she shouted. Beverly was a very fast runner for a woman in her age and ignored the confused stares of the little group to follow Sherlock and Oliver. The doctor sighed and shook his head.
"Sherlock alone is already hard to manage, but the two of them together is like a real catastrophe.", John said and sighed again tiredly.
"Yeah, but I am happy, that they get along. The other kids don´t really like Oliver and it seems like Sherlock is reliving his childhood." Sarah laughed and George looked pretty confused.
"I will explain it to you, George. If you like?"
"Sure, Sarah, maybe over a dinner? Just the two of us?" Sarah blushed again and suddenly seemed pretty shy.
"S- Sure. I would be happy to eat dinner with you." John smiled at them and thought about his own love life. He hadn´t had a girlfriend in a while and he didn´t want anybody right now. His whole live revolved around Sherlock.
"Show them the ship, Sarah. I will go and find the two devils. Maybe talk some sense into them." Sarah nodded, but stared at George the whole time.
Oh, the wonders of a new love.
