Here is another update for you guys! Please enjoy!

Benny sat there on the floor with his legs crossed as he held a hand of cards in front of him, looking at Ethan who was intently studying his cards as well. Benny could feel his heart pumping quicker as he thought about his move, feeling as the sweat began to roll down his temple before wiping it away.

"Got any five's?" Benny asked, feeling a sense of power run through him as he flashed Ethan a smug smile before Ethan flashed him a smile of his own.

"Go Fish." Ethan said as Benny threw his cards up into the air and crossed his arms before falling back onto his back.

"Bloody hell! Your too damn good at this!" Benny said with a smirk as he stared up at the ceiling, listening to Ethan laugh at him. It was the first time he had heard Ethan laugh since meeting him back at the house.

"It's been five days since we were put in here, how much longer is it going to take?" Ethan asked, putting his cards down as his laughter died down to a small chuckle and then to nothing.

"I'm not sure, the other survivors we encountered were in quarantine for about a week but since you were bit...it may take longer." Benny said as he looked over at Ethan, knowing the outlook could be possibly grim.

Benny suddenly heard the door audibly click as the locks were taken down as he sat up and expected the nurses to come in with their daily testing. He turned his head, only to see a blonde haired man walking into the room. Benny looked over and noticed the lights of the security camera's were down before looking back to the man and standing up. Benny looked over to Ethan, his face was as white as the snow that falls in winter.

"R-Rory? Is it really you?" Ethan said as he stood up and backed away slightly, the man walking over to him quickly.

"Yes Ethan, it's me...God...I never though I'd see you again. It's been so long Ethan." Rory said as he raised his hand to place it onto Ethan's cheek before the other darted away from his hand. Benny kept his eye on the two as he watched Ethan's eyes beginning to fill with something he hadn't seen from the other before, rage.

"How are you still alive? I saw you running across that field with them chasing you." Ethan said softly, his eyes beginning to twinkle as more and more water built up in them.

"I escaped Ethan, I took refuge on the coast and stayed there until I was found by NATO forces. I've been working with them as part of security. I have clearance to a lot of buildings, except this one. When they mentioned your name and said you were the one they found...I...I couldn't believe it. I've temporarily shut down the security camera's and disguised it as a malfunction, I had to see you Ethan." Rory said as he stepped closer to the Ethan who evaded his approach one more time. Rory lurched forward and grabbed Ethan's arm before Ethan pulled his hand back and thrust it forward, decking Rory straight in the face.

"You abandoned me...I was screaming for you...and you abandoned me. For three years I gave you my life and time, dedicated myself to making a better life for us both. After everything I did to dedicate and give myself to you, you abandoned me!" Ethan screamed as he stepped towards Rory who backed away. Benny decided it was best to stay put for now, knowing Ethan had a lot to get off his chest.

"Why Rory? Why after promising our lives to each other, why after all the things we went through together, why did you leave me there screaming for you. Why did you leave me to die?" Ethan asked, a few tears beginning to run down his cheeks as Rory looked at him with fear.

"Ethan...I...I...I didn't think there was anything I could do for you at that point...so I ran. Ethan, I've been mourning your death for the past few months and now I know I haven't truly lost you. I can talk with the commander, I can get you out of here!" Rory said as Ethan just shot him a deadly glare before looking away down at the floor.

"No...you did lose him. The Ethan you knew isn't here anymore, he died in a ditch in the middle of a forest while the sun set in the distance. As far as you know, he's still dead and he isn't coming back Rory. I would rather stay in here for the rest of my life...than spend another second of it with you. You left me Rory, left me to die...left me to become one of them...and now you don't get me back. I laid there in the cold crying, bleeding, and alone. I traced my way back to the home we shared, and I survived by myself. I'll survive even after all of this, but it won't be with you. I want you to leave...and don't ever come back for me again. Go back to thinking I was dead, seemed a lot easier for you anyways." Ethan said, tears dripping from his chin down to the white floor below as Rory stepped forward to touch him. Suddenly Benny was in front of Ethan, staring Rory down as if his eyes could shoot to kill.

"He said leave. And you better hurry, won't be long before those camera's are back online and this whole room will go back to being watched again." Benny said coldly, watching Rory back up before turning around and walking out of the room. Benny closed the door again as the door clicked shut and the locks locked in placed. He turned around to see Ethan sitting on the side of his bed before suddenly he heard a soft beep as he looked up to see the camera's lights come back on as they began monitoring them again. Benny walked over to Ethan's side as he took a seat onto the bed, not sure if he should touch the other or not. He stiffened up slightly as he felt Ethan lean onto him as he sobbed, holding his sides with his arms. Benny relaxed his muscles as he wrapped his arm around Ethan's shoulder as the other quietly sobbed into his gray sweatshirt.

"I know it's hard to think so right now...but it'll all be okay Ethan, I promise." Benny said as he rubbed Ethan's forearm lightly as the other just leaned into him and cried. Benny just looked down to his lap as the former student's crying died down to sniffling and then soft breathing. Benny looked over at him, he was lightly snoring. Benny knew this was a lot for him emotionally and he knew it must have zapped his energy levels. Benny stood up slowly as he leaned Ethan's body onto the bed before picking his feet up and putting them on it as well as he covered the guy up. Benny went to pick up the cards they left on the floor before returning to his bed, awaiting for the nurses to come check on them and administer their daily blood work and vitamins. Before he knew it, he too was feeling the effects of a adrenaline rush escape his body as it left him tired and nostalgic. He watched as the lights began to dim, knowing the people on the other side of the monitors were dimming them for them both.

Two Days Later

Benny sat there in bed as he watched Ethan slumber, the lights dimmed down for him as Benny looked around and fiddled with his fingers. Benny heard a soft electrical buzzing noise before suddenly the lights in the room went red as the security camera's went offline. He stood up before a alarm started blaring out in the hallway, two lights in the quarantine room flashing red before he heard Ethan stirring in his bed. Benny lurched back as he heard gunfire beginning to come from the hallway as Ethan shot off the bed and backed up against the wall. Screams could be heard, only soft compared to what they must sound like beyond the door.

"What in God's name is going on?" Ethan asked as Benny joined him at his side, the sounds of screaming dying away before they suddenly heard immense pounding onto the door and a deep guttural snarling noise.

"Oh my God, it's the infected! What are we going to do!?" Ethan hollered before Benny clasped his hand over Ethan's mouth.

"The infected have a heightened hearing ability." Benny whispered quietly before Ethan nodded his head slowly. That's whenever they head loud gunshots before the pounding stopped, and then they heard the click of the locks giving out as the door opened. Benny stepped in front of Ethan as he watched a soldier walk into the room.

"Sarah? Is that you?" Benny asked as he watched the woman turn her head to see Benny standing there before taking a sigh of relief.

"Come on, we've got to get out of here!" Sarah said as she walked forward and placed a pistol into Benny's hands.

"What in the hell is going on?" Benny asked, refusing to move until Sarah told him what was going on.

"Dammit, why must you be so stubborn Weir! The whole city is in Code Red...the infection is back. Someone with security clearance infiltrated a lab and took one of our vials of the virus and injected it into themselves. We tried to rally up the citizens and take them to the disaster zones but it was too widespread by then, it only turned into a bloodbath and now the whole city is infected. The commander has ordered a shoot to kill...even if they aren't infected. Now come on!" Sarah hollered as she ran out into the hallway with Benny and Ethan taking a moment to look at each other before following her. Benny looked down at the body of one of the nurses that use to come in and do their blood work, her eyes blood red with the Rage virus. He saw blood everywhere from the walls to the floor as they passed two more bodies of doctors. Sarah took point as she moved up against the wall as they came to a information center, the windows that weren't smashed in were covered in bullet holes or blood. Benny put Ethan in the middle as he took the rear, seeing as Ethan had no experience in combat. Sarah signaled for them to keep going, a few of the lights hanging from their holes and wires dangling from them. That's whenever they heard screaming from down the hall as a female nurse in scrubs came running down it, two infected right behind her snarling and screaming as they ran. Benny stood up as he aimed the point of his pistol, shooting twice as the bullets met their marks and downed the infected chasing the woman. Benny could tell it was the woman who had first screened him when he was put into quarantine, her blonde hair drenched in blood and bile.

"Did you get any in your mouth or eyes!? Were you scratched or bitten?!" Ethan said as he backed away from her in fear, her skin wet with blood.

"She would've turn by now if she had been Ethan, she's clean. But we need to get out of this building quickly." Benny said as Sarah nodded her head in agreement before Benny helped the nurse up and got her on her feet.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" she said in between sobs as Benny placed his hands onto her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"I need you to calm down, or else we won't make it out of here!" Benny said as he tried to calm down the nurse as she bit her lip to quit crying and shook her head in understanding. Benny signaled to Sarah to keep going as she took point again and lead them down the hallway even further before coming to a exit door. She peaked outside before signaling the coast was clear with a hand motion and then opened it as the other three ran outside onto a emergency stairwell. Benny could see the stars again, as well as helicopters flying around as they shoot bullets down into the streets.

"Sarah! Where are you!?" came a voice from Sarah's radio. She quickly took it out as she brought it too her lips.

"I just exited the Infective Care Building, I've got one civilian in tow as well as Benny Weir and the other quarantine patient." Sarah said as she awaited a response.

"Do what! Are you trying to get yourself killed! Commander Ross said not to go back for them!" the voice on the other end said, clearly shocked and mad.

"I'm not leaving one our own behind! Now what's the infection plan?" Sarah asked, making sure to shut and jam the door they had just come out of.

"Goddammit Sarah, you need to get your ass and their asses out of there right now. All of District One is about to be firebombed by the commanders orders." the voice said as Sarah's eyes went wide.

"What!? He can't do that! We still have our men down there!" Sarah said as she stood there in shock, looking at Benny who stared back with the same look in his eyes.

"He's pulling all forces back now! Head for the Thames Tunnel, it'll lead you under the Thames River and out out District One. But you've only got twenty minutes before this whole District goes up in flames." the voice said as Sarah pocketed the radio before rushing everyone down the stairs. Benny ran with Ethan at his side, pulling him by the hand the entire time as they ran down the street which was now covered in bodies and wrecked cars.
