Hey there Everyone, I thank you so much for being patient for the next chapter, so hear it is!
-TheItchyCocoon.
Anthony sighed in annoyance, and started to dig in. They ate mostly in silence, a few soft coughs and burps here and there.
Gomez shattered the relative peace with a few loud coughs. Anthony: What's wrong Gomez?
Nick: Think he's got a bone caught in his throat or something.
Gomez continued to cough loudly, spewing smoke all over the place. His tongue shot out and hit Nick, square in the head. Nick just gave Gomez a straight stare, then ripped the tongue from his head, and from Gomez's mouth. Cassilas: Gross.
Unbeknownst to the three friends, another human was outside. He was inspecting the remains of Gary. Only a few blood smears and shreds of clothing. He searched through the duffel bag the last three had brought with them, looking for anything valuable.
He cursed silently as all he found were some almost empty ammo boxes (for guns he didn't have.) Some past expiration date snack cakes, and...Playboy? Idiots...
The individual stood up to his full 5'12 height. He was wearing a tattered brown trench coat, and sported a pair of scratched glasses. He looked healthier than Hugh's little group, looked adequately well fed, and his red hair only slightly dirty. In his arm's was a fully loaded .556 Ar-15, sporting a holo-sight and a longer barrel. At his waist was a Kabar combat knife and a .357 magnum revolver. He looked ready for this apocalypse.
He turned his attention to the 7/11 across the street and started to walk towards it, hoping to find some supplies.
Cassilas stood up and stretched. He finished his meal first. Cassilas: "Hey guys, I'm gonna go look off more survivors, anyone coming with?" The only responses he got were Gomez's coughs as nick held him by the neck, still angry about the tongue thing.
Cassilas chuckled and headed for the door.
The man opened the door, and smacked straight into a boomer. They both stumbled back, with the man losing grip of his rifle, and it falling to his side in it's sling. Nick and Gomez turned their attention to the newcomer, with Cassilas stumbling into Nick. The man saw the three special infected inside of the station, and in the word's of a wise man, ran like the wind, with the three zombies clumsily giving chase.
Gomez shot his tongue out at the retreating man, and hit spot on, wrapping around the mans legs. As Gomez started to drag him in, the man unsheathed his Kabar and slashed the tounge off, quickly getting his to his legs and running once more. Gomez: What the Hell?! When did these guys get smart! Nick ran by and said: When did your aim get so bad?!
The man grasped for his swinging rifle, losing grip of it constantly. Panic and adrenaline surged through him, spurring him on. He looked back and saw the boomer was in close enough range to vomit on him! And vomit he did, with the man dodge rolling out of the way just in time to avoid the mesh of goo. Which landed on an unfortunate Walker. Walker: Oh goood, what the hell is this shi-OH GOD NO! He was then pounced on by a horde of other walker's, mauling him to actual death.
"Do I have to do everything?! Stand back loser's!" Nick shouted as he dug his gigantic fists Into the ground, and brought up a giant piece of pavement. He heaved it at the human with a loud grunt, and deadly precision.
The man was struck from behind, it had grazed him, but was still enough to knock him to the ground, his rifle spinning away.
The three infected gave a cheer and rushed at the fallen man. But the man wasn't completely helpless, he turned onto his back, 357. in his hands and opened fire!
Cassilas dodged the bullet aimed at him, but Gomez and Nick weren't so lucky. Gomez was hit twice in the torso, knocking him over, and nick once in the temple and once in the chest. A .357 at close range was enough for them to stumble and clasp their bodies in pain.
The man worked furiously trying to reload his sidearm bullet by bullet. Cassilas saw his opening and rushed forward.
As the man brought the now fully loaded magnum up to bear, Cassilas gave him a swift blow to the head, and all went black for the human.
Nick and Gomez were each shouting curses into the sky. Each one more incomprehensible than the last. It took them a few minutes to recover, and when they had they each had eyes full of rage. They saw Cassilas standing over the now limp body of the human. Cassilas looked shocked. Nick: Move it Cassilas! He's mine!
Cassilas just kept staring at the face of the human. Gomez stomped over and crouched ready to take a bite, but stopped short as he to saw the humans face. Nick: What's wrong?! He rumbled over and saw the man up close now, and he froze.
Standing in front of them...Was their old friend Eric...
