Incident Z chapt1sec2 (2/12/11)

I put the gun in my pants so Jacob would not recognize. He was jealous of my shooting skills, and jealous that dad trusted me more. A scream broke my train of thought “shit, man call 911!” I ran down stairs as fast as I could

            “What!?”  I saw Jacob sitting on his ass pointing at the door,

            “That man needs help” I looked at the door, pulled out the gun and slowly approached. “ whoa shit why do you have a gun, don’t shoot the poor guy”

            “Shut-up Jacob” I was at the door now,  and looking through the peep hole I saw what scared Jacob. It was a man, or so it appeared, his  check bone was exposed and his eyes where a white cooler. There was blood all on his face. I could here him moaning. “Jacob, dad wanted me to kill anyone who was infected, now I don’t know why or what, but I think….I think I should kill this man.” I looked back at Jacob who looked from me to the door to the TV screen. His game was paused and the screen showed an image of a gun pointed at a man who looked oddly similar to the man outside. “Jacob…I know what your thinking, but…it cant be”

            “ no man…that’s a fucking zombie out there!”

“no…” part of me wanted to fight it but I was sure that Jacob was right. Just then moaning got louder and I looked back at the door, then in the corner of my eye I saw more men at the windows, they were hitting them hard. Slowly the glass started to break. “Jacob go, wake up eve and Dan we need to get the hell out of here! Go now!”

             I never killed a man before.  I was scared, Jacob knew how to drive though, and my dad had his prized car still in the garage covered.  A yellow Chevy Camaro with the transformer logo on the side, to represent Bumblebee.  My dad put a lot of money into that car, it was a funny thing but he never drove it. Jacob came down and Dan and eve were now wide-awake, no doubt Jacob had said something that scared them. “ ok, just, what’s the plan”

            “we go out the back, take the car”

            “are you crazy our dad is gonna kill us”

            “yeah so will-“ the glass broke “ shit just go now!” I turned with the gun, one of the men was trying to climb in but they were too fat, I didn’t shoot, instead I turned and ran, we got to the garage safely and Jacob started the car. It took almost no time for the men to get in front of the car, despite them all being big and some just plan fat, they moved at an alarming rate of speed. I noticed one was missing an arm, I also noticed one of them was my neighbor, an old geezer that never left the house, unless it was to yell at my younger sibling to get off his lawn.  Jacob drove past them and ran over a fat one who could not get out of the way on time. Jacob was smiling, he never drove a car like this one before and I could tell he was enjoying himself.  

            “What’s the plan, where do we drive to?” he asked eagerly, and unfortunately I had no idea, I had not thought that far ahead.  

            “Maybe-“ just then my phone went off.  I forgot I even had it in my pocket and the vibrations made me jump. It was Chris.

When I answered and he was all shaken,”hey man me and my sister just got in the car, you meet any of the zombies yet?”

            “Hey man, do me a favor and don’t call them zombies, not yet.”

            “Sorry man, but what else should I call them?”

            “I don’t know, just not that, where are you guys?”

            “well we took the van were going to pick up as many people as we can after that we don’t really have a plan.”

            “yeah well nether do we, how about we meet at whatever house your planning on going to first and were escort you…I have a gun.”

            “ok sure, I think I’m going to head to johns house first he is closest.”

            “ok see you there, and Chris”

            “yeah?”

            “good luck man”

            “thanks you too”

Jacob gave me a scared kind of “ok fine lets do this, but I’m not going to like it” look.

            I reassured him “we are stronger in numbers”. He nodded and we headed towards johns house in silence
