A/N: Sorry this isn't much but I was building up for next chapter. It's going to be really awesome. This chapter is sort of their back story...well, Kendall's. There's also like one line of flirting lol so that counts for something.

I sat down on the couch in the living room and began to unwrap Hannah. I put the blanket on the back of the couch and began to change her clothes. I had a few little outfits that I took from the store that she could fit. I changed her diaper as well. When she was all nice and clean, I got up and went to go see what Kendall was cooking.

"Whatcha making?" I asked him.

"Chicken and rice." He said before he stirred the pot.

"It should be done in a while." He told me before he sat down at the kitchen table. I joined him.

"So, tell me about yourself, Carlos."

"Well, my name is Carlos. I'm 22 and I'm from Minnesota. What about you?"

"Are you seriously asking me who I am?" He asked me.

"Uh, yeah."

"Kendall Knight."

"I've heard your name before." I told him.

"Yeah a lot of people have. I'm in this band and I'm the lead guitarist. We're pretty famous. Well we were."

"Oh cool. Maybe after all of this you can try to find them and maybe get back on the top of the charts or something." I said.

"Nah we can't."

"Why not?"

"Because they're all dead." He said, chuckling at how my eyes widened in shock.

"I'm so sorry." I told him.

"It's fine. They decided to be jerks and it backfired on them so now they're dead."

"Would it be too much to ask you how?"

"Not it's fine. Well I had fell and fucked up my leg pretty bad. We were all traveling with each other and I thought that they would help me. In the middle of the night, I heard them talking about leaving me to die because I was slowing them down."

"That's fucked up."

"I know right, anyways, they didn't think I heard them but I did. They were so busy trying to figure out a plan that they didn't notice that zombies were on their way in. I was by the window and those idiots had a light on. The zombies made their way in so I hid in the closet. I could see through a crack in the closet as they fumbled with their guns and tried to shoot them. They failed and all ended up dying. Luckily, in the process of the all of this the zombies knocked over the lamp and the lights went out. I made sure that nothing was getting in by tying a rope around the nobs and in the morning all of the zombies and my bandmates were gone. I'm guessing they're now zombies."

"I want to say that they deserve it but I don't know."

"They did, I mean what person just abandons a friend like that. Not to mention I started the damn band." He said as he got up and checked the pot.

"What about you?" He asked me.

"Well I grew up in Minnesota where I met this girl named Stephanie. We had a thing and she ended up getting pregnant from it. So for the sake of the baby, we stayed together. She wanted to move to California because Minnesota's was supposedly too cold. We moved and I got a job as a cop with the help of my best friend Dak. Stephanie went into labor and when she had Hannah she ended up dying. Dak helped me take care of her until I got myself together. Then as soon as I get perfectly together this happens. I've been living day by day surviving for her." I told him.

"Two things: (1) You're only doing this for her? (2) What happened to Dak?"

"Oh, whell when I found Dak he was living in a basement type place. We stayed there for a while until he told me that he had gotten bit. That same night we heard zombies outside the place. He risked his life and ran away from the place, getting the zombies to follow him."

"And the whole only doing this for her thing?" He asked.

"Well, after losing so many people in my life. I realized that I'm only doing this for Hannah." I told him, honestly.

"So after she's safe you're going to kill yourself?"

"No, of course not, she still needs a father. I'm saying, if anything happened to her I would more than likely kill myself. I mean the whole world is full of zombies no one would really care."

"I mean now that I met you, I would care."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean you're really awesome."

"How? We've only known each other for about 2 or 3 hours."

"I just think that it's awesome that you are doing so much for your daughter and you seem like such a people person."

"Thank you. I would say the same for you but when I met you I had a shotgun in my face."

"Sorry about that. I just couldn't take a chance. The last person I let in didn't tell me they had been bitten. I woke up to them trying to eat Bell, my dog."

"Oh my gosh, that must've been scary as hell."

"It wasn't. Bell knows how to get away and handle it." He said as he rubbed her head as she ate.

"Shit." He said before he washed his hands.

"I have to be careful. The zombie world doesn't take pity on the sick." He explained when I gave him a look before he finished up cooking.

"Be careful, it's hot." He told me as he sat a bowl in front of me.

"Thank you so much." I told him.

"It's no problem." He said as he got himself a bowl and sat with me.

"So you never told me, did you learn all of this from the movie, I Am Legend?" I said as we ate.

"Yes, actually." He told me.

"Well, most of it." He corrected himself.

"How so?"

"Well he was fighting those monster things that didn't like the sun. Zombies stay out 24/7."

"That's true." I told him.

"Not to mention, I am nothing like him. I wouldn't know where to search for or know how to find a cure for this."

"So what are you planning on doing?"

"Well, I use those tunnels as a way to travel. I am planning on heading to a zombie free zone."

"What?" I said, almost choking on my food.

"Yeah, I heard about it on the radio. They have shelter and food and medicine. They also have people searching for a cure as we speak."

"That's awesome but where is it?"

"They say that they are a small place in southern California but they are moving to a bigger place in Texas soon. So I am gearing up and heading down there." He told me before we finished our food.

"I can't thank you enough for helping us." I told him as he handed me a blanket and a pillow.

"It's nothing. Sleep tight." He said before he walked upstais. I took my things and laid on the couch with Hannah close to me and the gun on the table just in case. I put the pillow at the end of the couch, just above Hannah before I covered myself with the blanket. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

A/N: I feel like this chapter could've been something more but I didn't want them to start on their relationship just yet. At least Carlos now knows about the safety camp. Stay tuned for the next chapter because it's going to be really, really good. REVIEW PLEASE! :D
