I thought I made you wait long enough to see who dies so here it is...
Disclaimer- Honestly you would be stupid to think that I own Lab Rats.
It was Adam and Leo's turn to go out and get lunch. Of course they didn't do this every day. They had stocked up on junk food a while ago but they were all out so Adam and Leo were gonna bring back a big stash of food.
"Be careful." Chase said before they left.
Adam and Leo were almost at Publix when they were ambushed. There were too many to fight. They tried running the rest of the way to Publix but along the way, Leo tripped.
Adam stopped. "Leo!" He tried to run back to Leo but the zombies were nearly on top of him now. Adam froze in horror.
"Just go Adam! Save yourself and find the cure!" Leo was then cut off by screams of terror as a zombie started taking bites of his flesh. He twitched around in pain but eventually, the zombies figured out they could just held him down and continued chowing down on their meal.
Adam tried to ignore the screams emerging from Leo and ran to McDonalds, occasionally with a few glances back. How could he have just left Leo?
There was no sight of the Owen guy Chase had told him although Adam didn't mind. He just wanted to be alone right now.
Adam quickly got his stash of food and in a big bag left and ran back. When he got to the spot Leo was brutally killed he saw the corpse was gone. Must have been reanimated already. Leo was a zombie. Adam broke down there. He angrily threw the bag to the ground and got on his knees. Leo had died, all because of going to Publix for food. Adam would rather starve then loose Leo. He just sat there for a few minutes, tears running down his face before he decided to go. He grabbed the bag and ran. Ran as fast as his legs could take him.
Adam made it home safely but Bree and Chase immediately realized something was wrong by the tears in Adam's eyes.
"They got Leo." Was all Adam said before slumping down. He tossed the bag to Chase before putting his head in his hands and had fresh tears leak.
Bree immediately burst into tears while Chase looked down on the floor and let a single tear roll down his cheek. Chase put an arm around Bree and she was too upset to notice.
"I never got to say goodbye to him." Bree sobbed.
Chase saw Adam lying there on the ground in defeat and Bree crying her eyes out on the couch at Leo's untimely demise.
He decided to comfort Bree since he knew that Adam liked to be alone whenever something bad happened. Chase walked over to Bree and sat down next to her.
"Bree are you ok?" Chase said softly.
Bree looked into Chase's eyes. She just put her head into Chase's chest and started crying even more.
"What do you think!? My brother was just eaten by zombies! What are you stupid!?" Bree said. It was muffled by Chase's shirt.
Bree saw the flash of hurt on Chase's face and realized what she just said. She lifted her head up off of Chase's now soaked shirt and looked him in the eye.
"I'm sorry Chase. I didn't mean it. I'm just upset about Leo's… death." Bree choked out.
"It's ok. I know you didn't mean it." Chase said with a reassurring smile. Bree sat there looking down with tears falling every once in a while.
"I just wish... that I was a better sister to him. I admit that whenever we were at school, I tried to just stay out of it. I didn't stand up for him with the bullies, or with anything matter of fact." Bree sighed. "I'm a horrible sister."
"No you're not." Chase said.
Bree raised her eyebrow and said "Chase I think we both know that's not true. But thanks for trying."
Chase slowly nodded. It was true after all. Bree never really even LOOKED at Leo from what he could recall.
Chase then got a look of anger. He glanced over at Adam to see that he hadn't moved during the whole time. He just sat there with tears and looked frozen. Chase gave another look at Bree to see that she was glancing around sadly as if to say that Leo should be here joking around. "I'm finding that cure now!" Chase was more determined than ever. They all were.
Powered by grief, they were more ready than ever to find and make the zombie cure.
The next day Chase estimated that they had four days left before he turns into a pile of rotting flesh.
Chase was more furious than ever. He has been searching for over a week and still couldn't find anything. But that frustration quickly turned sour. The human race was gonna die. Zombies are gonna rule Mission Creek and eventually, the world. It was all gonna be because of him. Chase silently cursed himself about how he should have been more careful with his chemistry project. It was Chase's fault that Leo was dead. It was his fault that nearly everyone in Mission Creek were zombies. It was gonna be Chase's fault for the end of the world.
"I give up!" Chase announced before sitting on a chair, a look of defeat on his face. He put his head in his hands.
Unfortunately for Chase, Adam had just taken a sip of water and it ended up all over Chase which he ignored, too sad to yell at Adam.
"What!? You can't just give up! We need you!" Adam said while Bree chorused him.
"It's hopeless! I've been searching for forever! And I've come nowhere! Every single link leads to a dead end!" Chase said.
Bree sat next to Chase. "Look Chase, Adam and I both know that you're frustrated but you can't just give up! We need you. You're the smartest one here! I know that there is a possibility that we can't find a cure and I know Adam knows too. The human race is on the line but we need to fight until the end."
"Yeah Chase. If you're not gonna do it for us do it for Leo. I can't get his screams out of my head and the fact that I left him to die. If your gonna give up and quit then how do you expect me and Bree to survive? We need you Chase." Adam added.
Chase thought for a moment, contemplating Adam and Bree's words before saying "You're right guys. I'm not giving up just yet. Not until I become a zombie."
"He's back!" Adam and Bree said simultaneously.
Chase went back to his laptop.
Once again same old routine except in the middle of the night, zombies attacked. It was Adam's shift and he shook Chase and Bree awake.
The zombies were tearing the door apart and pretty soon, there would be no more door.
"What are we gonna do? The only exit is the one filled with zombies!" Bree said.
"We're gonna have to fight our way out!" Chase said. "There's no other way to escape."
Ok! Only four days left to find a cure...
