Hai er'body!
The daylight burned our eyes. For a second it was impossible to see our surroundings, and then a tall building emerged from the trees. There were other buildings, small huts that. Like Charlotte observed earlier, there were pools for every few buildings.
"We're at the Te Tiare Beach Resort, Huahine." Russia says. "I came here once as a child."
"It's beautiful but…" Reaver pulls out his map. "You can hardly see it on the map." He squints. "It's pretty far from New Zealand."
"Well… close enough." I say. "Now. What to do, what to do." I begin pacing around the area, studying it.
"Are there zombies here?" Someone says. I ignore them and look at a pool of blood.
"Are. There. Zombies."
I look at Bipolar. She was in her annoying mood and I didn't want to deal with it. "Of course there are zombies." And I walk closer to the next shack. "But let's find out." I motion for Reaver to come closer and put a finger over my lips. "Sh." I bust the lock open with the back of my axe and burst in the door. Then there's the inevitable, "Ouuuhmmmmannnnnn."
"We got ourselves a hot one!" I howl.
"What does that even mean?" I hear Reaver behind me.
"It means grab your gun."
"I think you've been hang out with Jay too much." He pulls his gun out and shoots the damn thing.
"Thanks. Now let's get out of here." I dance my way out of the shack. "God damn!" I sing. "I think I missed killing them sons of bitches!"
"You didn't kill it. I did." Reaver reminds me.
"It's better than when we were with those control freak, psychopaths." I point toward the jungle.
"Maybe… Maybe they weren't crazy…" Charlotte whispers.
"Huh?" Reaver asks her.
"Well… I'm just trying to say… well… maybe we're the crazy ones. Maybe we've changed."
"None sense!" Russia cries.
"Yeah, yeah. Now let's get to kill'n. We'll go in groups. Russia, Jay, Nick, you're with me. Reaver, Charlotte and Bipolar, go to that tower over there," I pointed to a radio tower, "And see if you can get a signal started. Fairbanks, Texas and Bavaria, you look for supplies in these shacks. Nick… I changed my mind. Go with Reaver, Charlotte and Bipolar. Got it?" I ask.
"See ya!" Nick waves.
"Later." Texas says.
Reaver grabs my arm, "You going to the hotel?"
"Yup."
"Be careful."
"Of course. If anything happens down here. Let me know right away." I dig through my backpack and toss him a phone.
"See if this'll do you any good. My number's on speed dial… three." I say.
"Good luck."
"Same to you." I motion for Jay and Russia to follow me.
We walked toward the tallest building as the silence started to set in. This was quite possible the most dangerous thing we've done in a while. And as usual I didn't really have a strategy. But I hoped things would turn sunny side up… as the always had.
"What do you think is in the hotel?" Russia asks us.
"No clue. Civilization? Preferably not as crazy and strict as our last encounter with people." I say.
"Sounds good. Or there could be the more likely option." Russia smiles.
"Zombies!" Jay pumps his fists in the air. I sigh, but they ignore me.
Switching to 3rd person… sorry if I screw up….
Bavaria waited just outside the shack keeping guard. Fairbanks and Texas were inside looking for food and other stuff. They had been in there for a while and Bavaria started to get worried.
"Everything okay in there?" She called inside. No response. "Guys?"
Silence.
Then an ear piercing scream emerged from inside the shack. Bavaria ran inside and to her horror saw one of the girls in a blood pool on the floor. Texas knelt on the ground next to her, backed away from a giant, hulking body in the corner. It moaned out of the darkness.
"Go! Go get help!" Texas cried.
"But…" Bavaria couldn't form words. A bite mark on Texas' left arm appeared.
"Go!" She repeated herself. And Bavaria ran out the door to find the others.
1st person
"Wow." Jay says looking around. "That's a lot of cars."
"They might be useful. We need to find an airport, by the way." I remind them making my way around the cars whose lights were on… didn't want to start any alarms…
"Jesus shit. Again?" Jay asks annoyed.
"Of course." I yawn.
"Ain't ever letting you fly that god damn plane again." He glares at me. I glare back.
"Who else is going to?" I ask.
"I think Nick can." Russia says thoughtfully.
"What?!" Jay and I ask at the same time.
"Yeah, I think he mentioned it while we were at the airport."
Well gee, that would have saved a lot of time.
"So you're telling me…" Jay starts.
I finish for him, "That we could have been in Australia this whole time?"
"It's possible." Russia smiles.
"Oh, well in that case…" I slap Russia's head.
"Ow…" She winces.
"Oh like you haven't dealt with worse." I roll my eyes. She shrugs. I then realize that we lost Jay.
"How the hell… Jay!" I call.
"Var da hell did he go?" Russia hisses.
"You know the question we should be asking is where could he have gone?" I sigh.
We searched for the next twenty minutes without any luck.
"That's it. He's gone." I sigh.
"He'll turn up somewhere." Russia says.
"Maybe."
Yay!
