Dangit! I read over the fourth chapter after I was done with it… but I also waited until AFTER it was posted… ELLIS DOESN'T HAVE HIS ACCENT! *breathing heavily* How could I forget to… ugh. So screw this man. I'll probably end up replacing it later. But right now I'm busy so I'm going to wait 'till after it's finished to fix any loose ends. So I hope you guys like it.

Disclaimer: Sorry I haven't been doing this but I did at the beginning…. (I hope) but I'll do it now. Just to be… sure… and… yah….. I'll…. Uh huh….. ON WITH THE SHOW!

Left4Dead

"Here, Ellis, take this." Nick walked up to Ellis and handed him an adrenaline shot.

"Thanks." Ellis took it and pumped it into his leg. His chest was KILLING him.

"How you holding up?" Infinity came up behind him and put her hand on his back.

"Ma chest hurts, ma leg hurts, ma hands hurt, and did Ah mention that ma chest hurts?" He complained. He knew he sounded like a bitchy little baby girl, but it REALLY hurt. He was glad he had gotten used to the bandages around his chest. It had been a pain in the ass to run around while being restricted. Now that he was used to it, it was easy as pie.

He felt her hand run up and down his back as they walked down the street together, the others up front. They had kind of had a silent agreement, the five of them, to have assigned positions. Coach and Nick took point, Rochelle in the middle, himself in the back, and Infinity went back and forth between back and middle.

"I know baby. The safe house should be nearby, you can rest up." She sympathized.

Ellis sighed and kept a sharp eye out and listened closely. He couldn't hear any moaning or special noises. That's what he hated most. He didn't like the total silence.

Left4Dead

Infinity listened to sounds of their footsteps echoing off the empty buildings as they walked down the street. Not hearing any zombie noises, special or common, was driving her mad. Even though she liked the breaks between hordes, she didn't like the silence. It was uncomfortable.

Leave it to Ellis to help out with that.

"Did Ah ever tell you about this guy, dude? He raced dirt tracks, not stock cars but open wheel cars, ya know? And he was racing once, and a goat…"

"Ellis, sweety, can this wait?"

"Okay! But there was a goat."

Infinity smiled at him and he flashed her a goofy grin.

In a lower voice he started, "So this goat jumped like right in front of his car. And he swerved off the track and…."

"Jockey!"

Both Infinity and Ellis snapped to attention looking for where the Jockey was coming from. As soon as they both saw it the Jockey jumped on Nick's back. The Jockey started forcing its victim down the road.

They chased after it, trying to get a good shot at it, as he and Nick ran down the road. The followed him around a corner not too far from the attack and they all froze.

"Hooooly shit." Ellis drawled.

"Oh this is not happening… this is nooot happening."

"Damnit!" Coach swung his axe at nothing in particular.

Infinity immediately ran off after Nick and the Jockey. If she didn't get to Nick soon, Nick would die. She ignored the thousands of moans from the dozens and dozens of zombies and shot at them with her duel pistols. She pulled out a pipe bomb when she came to an intersection and threw it in the opposite direction of the Jockey. "Pipe bomb!" she warned.

The horde of zombies all swarmed to it. The Jockey was almost completely alone now. She heard the others coming up behind her, shooting and bashing with their weapons at the zombies who had escaped the wrath of the bomb or her pistols.

Infinity kept running towards Nick, the Jockey pounding on his head. She watched in fear as her fell to his knees, at least 7 zombies coming in around him.

"No! Nick!" She screamed and ran faster.

Left4Dead

Ellis' heart was pounding. The adrenaline was still on high, the pain in his chest was nothing more than a dull nuisance now. Ellis felt something pulling at his leg, he looked down to see a zombie grabbing and dragging itself closer to him. He replaced his rifle with his shotgun and aimed at the zombies head and pulled the trigger.

He looked around; Coach and Rochelle were fighting off several zombies, Coach hacking at them with his axe and Rochelle shooting with her high powered rifle. He turned around looking for Nick and Infinity, when he found them it was quite the sight.

Nick was fighting, or at least trying to, the Jockey that was STILL on his back; while Infinity held the several zombies back from Nick.

Ellis looked back to Rochelle and Coach and made sure they were handling alright before he ran off towards Infinity and Nick. He didn't stop running until he rammed the Jockey full force off of Nicks back. He, again, aimed directly for the Jockeys head and pulled the trigger. He helped Nick up and kept fighting alongside Infinity until all of the zombies had fallen dead.

Coach and Rochelle ran up. Rochelle immediately went to Nick and gave him a light hug and then pulled out a medical kit and patched him up.

"That was…." Nick started.

"Retarded." Coach finished.

"Yah." Nick agreed.

"Okay so…."

"Is somebody out there? Are there other survivors out there? Hello?" Everyone looked around for the cause of the loud voice, it was echoing all over the block so they couldn't make out where it was coming from originally.

"It sounds like it's coming from a speaker…" Ellis thought out loud.

"Hello? I heard the gunfire. There has to be someone out there? I need help… please…"

"Er…" Infinity started out quietly, "Where are you?" She shouted.

"Sshh! Infinity you'll attract attention!" Nick snapped.

"Oh right…" she feigned stupidity. "Cause shouting from a speaker phone isn't already attracting attention?" She shot back.

Nick looked down. "Whatever."

"Sir?" she yelled. "Where are you?"

"I'm in the brown apartment building. There are stairs, it's the only building with the outdoor stair case!" The voicespoke.

The team looked around.

"There!" The all turned to see Rochelle pointing to the "brown apartment building with stairs".

They made their way there, being cautious of any "curious" groups of zombies. At the top of the stairs was a door. The landing wasn't big enough for all of them, only was able to fit 2; Rochelle and Infinity. Behind Infinity was Ellis then it was Nick, followed by Coach at the end of the line.

Rochelle knocked on the door. "Hello?"

"Oh thank God!"

"What do you need?"

"I need you to do me a favor. Are there more of you?"

"There are five of us." replied.

"Great! Fantastic, okay, my daughter… she was at school when the outbreak happened. I tried to get to her, but was swarmed. I ran up here to hide. I can't get back out without getting hurt. I just want my daughter here with me. Please can you get my daughter?"

"We don't have time for this… or the ammo." Nick said.

"He just wants his daughter." Infinity responded quietly.

"Does he even have proper food or anything to support either one of them?" Coach voiced.

Ellis looked between them all. "Sir. Do you have proper food rations to even feed you two?"

"Yah. There was already plenty of food from whoever lived here before. And I had stuff that I brought with me. I even have ammo!" There was a pause. "Look. If you get my daughter back… I'll…. well I'll give you the ammo. As much of it as I can. Please just bring my daughter back."

"We aren't your errand boys." Nick shouted to the man so he could here. "Besides," he continued before anyone could shut him up. "how do you even know she's still at the school let alone alive?"

Ellis glared at him. "What?" Nick asked feigning innocence.

Ellis had to will himself not to knock his lights out. Instead he spoke up, "Where is the school?"

"Not far from here. It's only a block or two away. Take Evian down to Lauren Lane, turn left there. The school will be on your right. Please get my little girl back. Her name is Marie."

"We'll get her back Mister…." Ellis trailed off.

"Ruiz."

"Mr. Ruiz we'll find your daughter."

"Thank you."

Left4Dead

Infinity walked down the stairs with the rest of her friends. Once back on the street they went down Evian.

"You okay?" Infinity turned towards the voice.

"Um, yeah, I'm fine Rochelle. Thanks."

"We'll find her."

"I know. I'm just not sure HOW we will find her."

Rochelle paused at that. She looked ahead both of them walking in silence.

"There's Lauren." Coach announced.

Infinity fell back in step with Ellis. As they turned onto the street.

"How are you feeling?"

"Adrenaline wore off, everything is killing me again."

"When we get to the school we'll look for the nurse's station. Find some painkillers for ya."

Ellis nodded and they fell silent again.

Infinity was grateful for once for the silence. She wasn't in the mood for zombies and she wasn't in the mood to talk.

"Are you alright Infinity?"

"I'm fine."

"Ah just wanted ta make sure because of the way we met… and the girls name and stuff…." He said quietly.

"The girls name doesn't make it anymore emotional for me Ellis."

"Well Ah just didn't know…"

"Thanks for asking."

"Infinity…"

"Not now Ellis."

"Okay."

Infinity felt bad, but she just wasn't in the mood. She wanted to help this guy find his daughter but she didn't really WANT to go into a school. She didn't want to find a dead girl, or another infected girl. She couldn't handle that. Infinity looked at Ellis. He looked sad. She knew he was just trying to help, but right now…. It just wasn't helpful.
