Hey guys, sorry it took so long to update. I've just been busy with everything in my life and plus, I'm also writing my manuscript for my first book so this story is going to take a back seat to that. Sorry but please enjoy and review
Chapter 2
New York Zero
Yellow Zone
4:00 P.M
To say that this week was not a normal week for Zack Keith is an understatement. He was infected with the Mercer virus, was out for 2 days and just killed and consumed another human being. And it wasn't even Friday. Zack still stood atop the roof of his apartment building, still trying to sort through the memories of John Shoring (the Blackwatch soldier he just consumed) and his own. He sighed. "Okay. Now I just have to do the same thing to the other doctor and officer." He turned around and started to walk towards the door when he stopped. A smirk appeared on his face and he started to run towards the ledge. "I will KILL Mercer if this breaks my legs." He closed his eyes and made a giant leap over to the next roof. He felt himself fly through the air before he opened his eyes. He landed on the other roof with a crash; sending spider web cracks in all directions away from the crater he made. Zack expected to fall right down and grab his shattered legs in pain but no. He didn't feel a thing when he landed. "Good, now I don't have to kill Mercer." He smiled and then took another running leap and sailed right to the ground. Strangely, no one questioned him on how he isn't dead. Oh well. Zack started walking down the street, sorting the memories until he found one that told him of his targets location. It was a couple blocks away. Nothing he couldn't get to. He took off running down the sidewalk, ignoring the many strange looks he got from the many people he passed as he flew by them all in a flash.
It took him no time at all to reach the location of the doctor. It was an infirmary not unlike the many he passed by after he got out of the hospital. The problem however was that Blackwatch soldiers were everywhere. "Now how the hell am I going to get to him? It's not like I can just waltz right on in there." Zack thought. At that moment however, he felt a tingle all over his body. He looked around and found himself in the shape and form of the Blackwatch soldier Mercer had him consume. Zack just shrugged and walked right on in, with no problems what so ever from the other troopers. He did though have a problem finding the doctor. All of medical staff was dressed in bright yellow HAZMAT suits that just screamed SHOOT ME! Zack did manage to learn via eavesdropping that the real doctors were in Navy blue HAZMATS so it was a start. But then Zack remembered, sort of, that he was supposed to report to the doctor he needed. So he spent the next five minutes just asking around were the doctor was and finally he found him "Doctor Dice?" Zack asked, his own voice being replaced with the soldier's. "Yes?" Dice asked, turning around. "I am here for new orders sir. My officer sent me here." The doctor looked puzzled for a bit then brightened. "Oh yes that's right. Captain Burk sent you?" "Yes sir." "Good then follow me." Dice then motioned with his index and middle fingers in a come here gesture. Zack followed and they were soon out of sight. As soon as he was sure they wouldn't be seen, Zack thrust his right fist into the back of the Dice, who didn't even have time to yell in surprise before he died. Zack closed his eyes as he felt the doctor convert into biomass and add itself to his body. Zack leaned against a near by wall for support as the memories filled his mind.
Dice is in a laboratory, surrounded by other HAZMAT suited men. The man Zack saw in the other memory, Captain Burk, walked up to Dice and shook his hand. "So Dice, how is the experiment going?" "It's odd, more than half the people I inject the virus with just die right out but the teenagers and children I give it to actually live. I have a particular kid in here now that has some fascinating results."
Zack opened his eyes and found Mercer standing right in front of him. "Well now that you know what they are doing, the next step is to kill Burk so you can gain access to the lab and then destroy it. Simple." Mercer said, folding his arms. Zack nodded and morphed back to his normal body. "And I know just where to get Burk." He said. "Then do it." Mercer said before jumping away, leaving Zack to think out a strategy.
