-Six Years Ago-

"Any operations involving the apprehension of any member of the crime syndicate known as, The Piranhas, are now terminated as they are no longer a priority," declared May. "Agent Burke? Where's Agent Cane?"

"Oh, uh, he's… uhh…"

"Don't tell me he's going after Sherry."

"Well, he's not taking the loss of his family so well. I tried convincing him to not do anything reckless, but he told me something about not having anything left to lose. I can't stop him, Agent Hannas!"

"I can. I can suspend him temporarily. I'll even be generous and give him a few days off with pay," said May as she tapped on her phone.

George's phone rang as he walked to a laundromat. He quickly declined the call and silenced his cell phone. He went inside the laundromat and walked to the dry cleaner's section of the laundromat. He approached a man with a piranha tattoo on the back of his neck and asked for his clothing. The man, without thought, checked to see if his clothes were dried. George's outfit was able to disguise him well.

"Sorry, I can't find an orange and purple jacket," said the man.

"You're sure that my jacket is not there?"

"You can look if you want."

George entered a room where all the clothes were hanged and covered with sheets. George allowed the man to enter the room as well. As soon as he entered, George closed the door, without making any sudden movements.

"Hey, leave that open–"

George pulled out his pistol and smacked the man in the jaw with it. The man fell to the ground, groaning in pain as George held the man at gunpoint.

"Where is Sherry?"

"I don't know what the fuck you're talking about."

"Sherry Crowley! Tell me where the fuck she is or else I will find out where you live and murder your family! Tell me where she is!"

"Fuck, dude! She's at Syracuse, hanging around the canal, I think. That's all I know!"

George lifted the man up and patted his shirt.

"Don't fucking tell the police what just happened. Or else… you know what happens."

"Something tells me that Sherry must have ruined you somehow. My advice is to stay away from her and remove that tattoo if you want to come back to your normal life."

George gasped and touched the back of his neck. He then nodded.

"Now get the fuck outta my laundromat and never come back," threatened the Piranha.

George strapped the gun back to his holster and headed out of the dry cleaning room.

-Five Years Ago-

"Agent Cane? Agent Cane? Fuck, did you decline my call again?" hissed May while looking at her phone.

George took cover behind his pickup truck while holding his handgun and his phone. He placed his phone in his pocket and popped up from his cover. Sherry and two other Piranhas were shooting at George. The suburban neighborhood was no safer than the Bronx at the moment. Bullets flew everywhere, hitting windows, other cars, and mailboxes.

"Fuck off, Cane!" yelled a Piranha.

"You know what? Leave him be! Let's go!" ordered Sherry. "It's been fun playing with you, George, but I got some place to be at! Bye!"

"Oh, no you don't!" yelled George.

He aimed his pistol at the car windows and frantically searched for Sherry with his naked eye. However, he noticed frightened residents coming out from their homes and peeking out from their windows at the showdown. The vehicle then drove away with Sherry inside.

"Fuck! I can… I can try again, Mary…"

-Four Years Ago-

"How many times are we going to do this?" cried Sherry.

Sherry aimed her Colt 1911 at George and shot it multiple times. George ducked behind the firetruck. George's phone started ringing.

"Fuck, it's Henry!" whispered George.

"Put it in silence!" ordered May. "We don't have time to answer him!"

Sherry began to crawl away from the scene. May and George ran to catch up to her, but John covered his boss by shooting at both agents. The lamps in Chinatown were shot to the ground, and bullets flew where no one was, fortunately. By the time May and George peeked out from their cover, Sherry and John were gone.

"Where did she go?" asked May.

"She ran. Along with her right-hand man!"

"I admit it now, Agent Cane. Sherry is one hard bitch to catch."

-Three Years Ago-

"I was starting to wonder when you were going to attack me the next time, George! And, May! I didn't think you were going to come back after… you know… I killed your husband and your nephew."

"Are you good, May?" asked George.

"Yeah, let's just finish this bitch once and for all."

"Well, THIS bitch has a helicopter!" giggled Sherry.

She climbed onto the helicopter and prepared to lift off. George and May pointed their guns at Sherry. Three other Piranhas laid dead beside the agents, two who were killed mercilessly by May. Sherry sighed as she realized she didn't want to do something that George and May were going to force her to do.

"I really didn't want to do this. Honestly, I really didn't."

Sherry hopped off the helicopter and into the landing pad in the hospital roof. She then took out a mechanical device that appeared to have switches.

"There is a bomb inside the hospital. And it will blow up in the next hour or so! Now, you can waste your time and arrest me, or… you can let me go so you have time to find the explosive. What would it be, May?"

May and George lowered their guns. May called for a bomb squad to the hospital.

"That's what I thought."

Sherry climbed inside the helicopter and wore ear protection. She turned on the helicopter and started lifting it in the air.

"Third floor! Trash can!" yelled Sherry.

She then made her escape as the helicopter hovered away. May and George quickly proceeded to head down the hospital.

-Two Years Ago-

"You just won't learn… George!" yelled Sherry.

George was handcuffed to a pipe on the ground. He watched as the Piranhas lifted Henry from the ground. His mouth was bloody and his face was bruised from the beatdown that he received from the Piranhas. Sherry stared at Henry.

"There were no soft targets in your case."

Sherry then looked at George.

"Don't think I'm serious, huh?"

"You're always bullshitting around! Always letting other people do the dirty work for you! If it were just you and me, you would've been dead, five years ago!"

"So, that's what you think of me. Time to change that!"

Sherry took out her Colt 1911 once again and aimed it at Henry's head. Placing her finger on the trigger, she hoped to break George. But he wasn't broken. George looked intensely at her, while Henry continued to look straight ahead with a hundred-yard look. Sherry smiled smugly and lowered the pistol. George continued to look at her intensely. Sherry smiled and raised her pistol, shooting the gun at Henry's head. At the sound of the gunshot, blood splattered into a white wall in the Piranha Headquarters. Henry dropped to the ground with half of his face disfigured from his bruises and blood. George was left speechless as a tear came from his left eye.

"Who says I don't have balls?" blurted Sherry. "Oh yeah… my gynecologist."

John, Andrew, Russ, Gus, Gina, and other Piranhas burst into laughter. George's tears fell as he looked down into the ground. George was then uncuffed and led out of the headquarters. Even though he was no longer inside the room, he couldn't shake off the image of his executed partner.

-Day 45-

"So, Lincoln and I entered the room… and we found some roamers. They were all shot while they were alive and they were not killed by the napalm that was dropped on the buildings. And for what? Could it be because they were infected? Or just because they were in the same room as Tim Crowley? And to think that Carol was going to be one of them!"

"Oh my god, Carol! I'm sorry for having treated you like an outcast!" apologized Becky.

"Even though I hate what you did in the past, it's alright," said Dana. "It's in the past."

Carol sighed.

"Well, I'm glad we made up."

"Something wrong, Carol?" asked Lincoln.

"No, it's just the fact that I could've died because of a general's paranoia… it's a lot to think about."

"Just be thankful that you wasn't in the same room when he had those people killed," said Jason.

"Yeah I guess your right."

"Alright, time to head to Albany. We should be there in an hour or so…" said David.

As the group headed back to their vehicles, Vonda walked towards Carol and tapped on her shoulder.

"You are probably the only one in this group besides George to talk to my dad. Did you talk to him?"

"I… think so."

"What do you mean?"

"I… actually don't know how he looks like."

Vonda rummaged through her backpack. She took out a picture that was more updated than the picture of her and her father in Disney World in 2006. Tim Crowley had graying fringe bangs and crow's feet on his baggy eyes.

"Yeah, I remember him now!"

"So, you did talk to him!"

"Well, just a little. But it wasn't anything important. He just said that I had a nice Polaroid and he asked me how many films I had. I told him I didn't have too much to which he responded by nodding his head. He was eating a bag of peanuts too."

"My dad loved peanuts."

Vonda smiled as she went inside Sergei's car. George also entered Sergei's car and sat next to Vonda. Vonda tapped on George's shoulder.

"Yeah. Tattoo removal wasn't too good on the back of my neck. Good thing it wasn't such a large tattoo, otherwise, I would've been scratching my entire neck off."

Vonda laughed. George softly smiled as the vehicle started.

After an hour, when the night sky appeared and the headlights of the RV beamed, the shadow of a few cars appeared. David thought that he had reached Albany when in fact he did, but he was met with another surprise. As he got drove further along the road adjacent to the Hudson River, he noticed that the headlights of the vehicles turned on suddenly. One woman stood on top of the middle vehicle, and that woman was none other than Sherry Crowley.

-May 27, 2016-

"Head to the first floor and apprehend ALL gang members. You three, stay outside and patrol the west side of the headquarters. Agent Cane, are you sure you want to do this?" asked May.

"Yeah. I want to see her brought to justice, Agent Hannas."

"Alright. Agents! Move in! Now!"

The agents proceeded to move inside the headquarters as quickly as possible. They were aided by Albany police as they arrested as many Piranhas as they could find inside the faux fishing warehouse. The building was surrounded by police and much time passed before they left.

"Yes, yes it was surrounded by police. And you still got caught…" said Sherry as she walked around George and May. "I told you guys to stay away. Now that your precious police force left my headquarters, and they, by the way, failed to arrest more than seven of my people, you guys are going to get fucked."

Sherry lifted May up and pointed a gun at her.

"This way."

George was lifted by a Piranha and was held at gunpoint. When Sherry returned, she grabbed George's neck and led him downstairs to the ground floor. She then opened up the door to the basement which was hidden behind a freezer that held the medium-sized fish. George walked down the dim-lit tunnel and was frightened by what he would see downstairs.

"Here we are."

George clenched his teeth as he saw a Hispanic teenage girl locked behind a makeshift jail cell. The basement was very small and was no larger than a school classroom. Andrew opened the cell and pushed George inside. Sherry smiled and prepared to leave the basement.

"Have fun with your new roommate. If you knew what was going to happen to you, then you would fuck that girl. You know, rape her, anything for pleasure, and that's alright! It really is. She's used to it. Go ahead! I'll just leave you guys alone now! Bye!"

-Present Day-

Rapid gunfire went off as Sherry shot her submachine gun in the air in anger. The Piranhas were holding their guns in the direction of the RV, although they did not aim it. The headlights were now beaming brightly on the vehicles of our protagonists. Sherry grabbed a megaphone, still holding her submachine gun.

"COME OUT NOW, DAVID! LET'S HAVE A TALK."

David grabbed his shotgun from the back of the RV and he placed shells inside the gun. Jason grabbed his M4A1 and had a piss of look on his face. Lori held onto her AK-47 and placed her hands on the door handle. As much as David wanted to keep the others from following him, especially Lori, Jason, and Richard, he knew he needed them in case Sherry wanted to take him against his will, or even kill him.

"You're coming too, Becky?" asked David.

Becky grabbed her Glock and nodded. She fixed her tank top and prepared to leave the vehicle. However, David rushed ahead first and opened the door. David looked at Sherry, who placed her megaphone down and jumped from her pickup truck.

She walked towards David and slowed down as soon as David cocked his shotgun. Lori, Richard, and Becky stood behind David, although still in a wall-like formation.

"Where's George?" asked Sherry.

"I told you to leave me and my group alone."

Sherry scouted the vehicles and looked inside each one.

"Where's George?"

"Listen, Sherry–"

"No! YOU listen to ME! I got a hella lot of men and women on my side, ready to slaughter your entire group."

"Will you shut the fuck up, your going to be bring the dead here!" hissed Jason.

The roamers were walking towards the road where David and Sherry were. The sound of the submachine gun attracted the roamers with the promise of prey. Two Piranhas moved away from their positions and stabbed a few of the roamers.

"Sherry, this is not a good time to talk–"

"Ain't no other time to talk. Now, I need George to come out of that SUV or so help me. You know what? I want your entire group to come out."

"Now, why the hell would I let that happen?"

"Why not? I'm a reasonable woman. I have limits. I'm not just going to mindlessly massacre you and your group when I only need a few of you."

"You. Reasonable. Your not reasonable, the last time we meet you tried to take one of are vehicles and tried kill us because we kill some of your man and woman and wouldn't give you the car, you wanted George we gave him to you like you asked and let me make this clear to you. Your people shot at us first they got what they deserved," said Jason glaring at her.

"Believe it or not, but I a reasonable woman," replied Sherry.

"Yeah share," Jason said rolling his eyes then smirked when he saw Gus. "Oh Gus great seeing you again, how's the arm doing along with your face."

Gus glared at Jason wanting to do nothing more than to put a bullet in his head but remembered that Sherry wants him alive.

"Believe it or not but your going to die today Gus," said Jason.

"A little cocky don't you think, making a treat when we out number you?" replied Gus.

"I wasn't making any treats, I never said I was going to kill, but what I'm saying is not a treat it's the truth. Your going to die, you get shot in the neck, not by me but you will die."

"Jason. Shut it!" hissed David.

Gus was very tempted to shoot Jason but he controlled himself. Sherry believed he was just bluffing, but for some reason she had a feeling Jason wasn't lying.

George exited Sergei's car, approached David, and stayed behind him.

"Right, George? I keep my word, ain't that right? Now, do it or else my group will have to drag each member of YOUR group forcefully."

"As much as I hate following Sherry's orders, you gotta do it," whispered George.

"George is right, I hate this too but if you don't listen to her this will end badly," added Jason.

David ordered everyone to leave the RV with the exception of D. Lori demanded that everyone leaves Vanzilla with the exception of Clyde, Leni, and Lily. The group gathered together, and Sherry inspected each member. Vonda held her breath as Sherry made eye contact with her. The locked eye contact would remain locked as Vonda was too afraid to look away from her mother's blue eyes. Jason placed his hand on Vonda's shoulder calming her down a little. This did not go unnoticed by Sherry. Sherry then looked away and continued looking at everyone else.

"I have a couple demands. First, I want you to hand in all the weapons in the SUV. Next, I want you to give up yourself and George. After you two, I want my daughter back."

Vonda gasped in surprise to how her mother knew about her. Sherry walked closer to the group, each holding a gun or some sort of melee weapon. Sherry then looked at David, unable to believe his own ears.

"That's my daughter, right? Tell me that she is my daughter, Vonda."

"Whether she comes with you or not is up to her."

"I would rather have her in my hands than in the hands of those who killed my soldiers in cold blood."

"As if you were one to talk," blurted George. "My family's blood lies in your hand. My partner's blood lies in your hand. My colleagues' blood lies in your hand."

"Yeah, we didn't kill your soldiers in cold blood as say, they tried to kill us first. Your a fucking hypocrite you killed so many people innocent people, families, parents, and children, you and your gang are the ones who have killed in cold blood and you have the nerve to say we killed your people in cold blood!" yelled Jason.

"That doesn't change the fact that you killed my soldiers, now those it," replied Sherry.

Jason gave a murderous glare to to Sherry scaring her but she kept her composure as best she could.

"I also don't want JUST her. I want that girl as well."

Sherry pointed at the girl holding the red recurve bow.

"Lynn?" asked Vonda.

"Yeah, I want Lynn too. Along with you in the black vest."

"You want Jason too!?" asked George.

"Yeah, I him as well."

The roamers began to growl louder as some came together in packs. The Piranhas began to use their guns to dispatch the roamers. The roamers dropped to the gun one by one, creating a pattern of growls before a gunshot.

"Why do you want, Jason and Lynn?" asked David.

"It's very complicated. I wouldn't expect you to understand."

"Outrageous? I need those guns to make sure that you guys won't attack my group after the deal was done! I need David for an execution in order to keep my people safe! I need George in order to keep myself safe since he won't stop trying to go after me! And I need to be safe to keep my promise to my estranged husband about keeping Vonda safe! How is any of that outrageous?"

Sherry walked and grabbed Vonda's arm.

"I'm going to reunite us with your daddy, Vonda."

Vonda, visibly confused, followed Sherry with genuine curiosity. David was surprised to see that Vonda was going to follow her mother, despite the horrific acts that she had done. Vonda thought that maybe, just maybe, her own mother could've been the last person to talk to her father before his death. Or perhaps, Tim visited New York before the apocalypse in a search for Sherry in order to warn her of the impending doom that would end almost all human life on Earth. Tim wouldn't want one of those ended life to be Vonda. However, Sherry was truly clueless about Tim's death, meaning that Tim's death was not supposed to occur the way it did in Detroit. Vonda wriggled her arms, which caused Sherry to stop in her tracks.

"Wait…"

"Yes, Vonda?"

"What do you mean you're going to reunite me with my dad? Don't you know?"

"Know what?"

The roamers came in larger packs until it started overflowing the roads. Sherry watched as the roamers started coming closer to the Piranhas."Hold that thought. We gotta go. Tim wants to see you as soon as possible."

"But–"

"Vonda, we gotta go now!"

Sherry shot her submachine gun at the roamers. David fired his shotgun at the roamers that were closing in on his group. Vonda ran back to David's group as soon as she saw a chance of escape. Her hatred of her mother overcame her curiosity. Sherry clenched her jaw and swallowed hard, trying to appear unhurt by this.

"Vonda! Move! I'm about to shoot your friends right now!"

Sherry ran behind her pickup truck and fired her submachine gun at the group. However, the warning allowed the group to hide behind their vehicles and take the necessary cover to avoid getting shot at. The wrecked cars on the road also provided great cover and allowed the group to catch some of the Piranhas off-guard. David popped out of the RV and fired his shotgun at two Piranhas in rapid succession, killing both of them. George aimed his pistol at Sherry and shot it. However, the bullet missed her and shot another Piranha in the shoulder.

"Lori! Go open the hatchback door of the SUV and grab a couple grenades! Bring them over here!"

Leni and Clyde shrieked and yelped as bullets went flying, shattering some pieces of the van. Lily was crying at the moment, scared by the sound of bullets ricocheting. Jason come of cover aimed his assualt rifle and destroyed the head of a Piranha and mowed down two more. Lori quickly opened the back door of the SUV and took out a crate. Rummaging through the crate of magazines and bullet chambers, she was able to find two grenades. She ran back behind the RV and handed a grenade to David.

"Alright, so just pull back the pin like this…"

David pulled the pin of the grenade and tossed it at the vehicles that the Piranhas hid by. Some of the Piranhas were flushed out, while a few stayed and took their chances. The grenade blew up and launched shrapnel at two Piranhas, killing them. Sherry watched as two of her soldiers died in the hands of David.

"Alright. Here goes nothing!"

Lori pulled the pin on the grenade and threw it where David tossed it. The grenade landed in front of the vehicles where the Piranhas quickly ducked behind the cars. The shrapnel launched from the grenade and killed no one, although it disabled some of the vehicles that the Piranhas drove in, especially Sherry's.

The group was being pushed back as the roamers started coming between David's group and the Piranhas. Some of the group members decided to stay in the RV, trapped only by roamers and flying bullets. The Piranhas started pushing towards the group, shooting the windows of each vehicle, and rendering the wheels useless.

"Luan! Tad! Becky! Come inside!" yelled Benny.

Tad and Becky looked at each other and nodded their heads. Luan helped Lana hide behind Chunk's van and searched for Benny. Tad escaped from behind a wrecked car and ran as fast as he could to the RV, using the roamers as a distraction to keep himself from being shot at. Becky followed Tad, knowing that the Piranhas were distracted by the roamers in the road. However, Sherry had different plans. She diverted her attention from the roamers and aimed her submachine gun at both teenagers.

"Almost there–!" yelled Tad before he yelped.

"TAD!" shrieked Becky.

The bullets from Sherry's gun lodged themselves on Tad's pelvis and caused him to drop to his knee. Becky quickly ran to his aid, hoping that the other Piranhas were distracted by the roamers. And they were. Except for Sherry, who fired her gun once more before running out of ammo, this time aiming for Becky. However, she missed Becky, but because she was next to Tad, the bullets went through Tad's arm. Tad dropped to the floor with his knee bent and gasped as he held his arm in pain. His heavy breaths started to die out as Benny came out the RV and grabbed Becky, who didn't want to leave someone she loved.

"Let me go!" yelled Becky, tears flowing out of her eyes.

"It's too late!" exclaimed Benny.

"Go... go!" huffed Tad. "Please..."

"I'm so sorry, Tad," whispered Becky before Benny took her inside the RV.

Luan prepared to run to the RV as well, now that Sherry was forced to drop her submachine gun and fend off the roamers like the other Piranhas. Sherry took out her Colt 1911 and shot it at the roamers.

"Sherry! I suggest that two of us ditch these roamers and go after the people hiding behind the vehicles!" yelled Gus.

"We should go inside the RV, instead," said John. "There are people hiding in there."

"Well–"

Gus was interrupted by a bullet flying through his throat. Luna shot her gun once more and grazed John on the shoulder. She hid behind Chunk's car and reloaded her gun. Sherry looked in the direction of the bullet, trying to see who shot the bullet. She motioned John to come closer as he rubbed his cut arm. A roamer dropped to Gus's body and started helping itself with his flesh, devouring his arms first.

"Guys!" exclaimed Luan. "We need to help the others! The others, they're–!"

A gunshot.

Luan collapsed to the ground. Sherry pulled the trigger on the pistol, aiming at Luan's head once more, before realizing that she ran out of ammo. She left Luan on the ground, her temple bleeding from the gunshot. Blood soaked the ground she lied on, answering the question she asked herself in the beginning of the apocalypse. "Will she ever make it to the end?"

-May 27, 2016-

"I'm not going to harm you. I'm an FBI agent. My name is George Cane."

"Hey, George. I'm Cassandra."

"Hey, Cassandra. I'm gonna get us out of here. I have some buddies who are working on saving our butts."

"Well, that would be nice, but it's too late for me."

"Too late? What… oh my bad. I'm sorry, I didn't–"

"It's okay. So, George. How are your friends going to save us?"

"Well, tomorrow, they should finish inspecting the warehouse, and they WILL find us. After that… wait. Do you hear that?"

A growl came from the tunnel. Cassandra shook in fear and held onto George, who stared at the tunnel intensely. A zombie appeared from the tunnel, growling at George and Cassandra. The zombie was an unknown beast, whose name would soon die out to be replaced by another name in the apocalypse, if it has already not happened to these two people. They stared in fear as the beast grabbed the bars and struggled to get inside the cell, clawing the bars and biting the air. George examined the monster and flinched with each bite the monster made.

"What the hell is that?"
