Fall into Ashes

[InsaneTruth]

Kai was surounded by the gaurd Kat taking the rear he closed the door to stop any threat from coming up behind them. The tunnel was unco,,om;y dark it was a good thing Sage had her light or they'd be walking almost blind.

 

[Ricia]

"Do you really think it's zombies?" The red head asked while they walked.


Sage sighed, "Zombies... who the hell coins that term?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Its nothing that can't be handled in time," Kai said arms crossed walking through the tunnel well surounded by armed to the teeth people.


"Yeah," Kat said "I think its a bunch of loonies on bad drugs,"

 

[Ricia]

"Drug epidemic?" The girl asked.


Sage huffed, she had seen a few people on drugs. It was not very pretty.


There was a sudden sound of metal hitting the ground in the distance and the girl loaded her gun and pointed out in the distance, Sage shinned her light the direction the sound came from.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat drew his hand gun and the blonde pulled out a similar gun.


Kai focused to see what was up ahead even as Edmond sheilded the young lord from veiw of any attacker.

 

[Ricia]

"Come out." Sage commanded, "We won't shoot if you come out unarmed." She said out loud.


There was a turn, someone had ducked in cover there. The person who turned the conor was none other then Shade. He looked packed as much as they were. It looks like he too was getting the hell out of town... and taking the safe way.


"I'm not looking for a fight." He said with his hands up. "I'm just leaving."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"A temporary pact? Its best to stay in groups," Kai pushed his way to the front dispite Edmonds disaproval. "I know this will only get worse, there is safety in skilled numbers," Kai offered Rick his hand Kai was oddly unarmed right now pretty vunerable Shade could kill him easy and Kat was not happy the boy had his hand tight on his gun.

 

[Ricia]

Shade didn't move for several moment before shaking Kai's hand, "I'm not contracted right now and I think the value of money is about to tank. Survival is priority.. and groups will indeed be best." He agreed-ed with Kai.


Sage let out a soft breath when Shade looked at them, "Death, Shadow." He greeted.


"I take it we have all meet before?" The girl asked.


"Classified." Sage said with a soft growl. "Lets go."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat chuckled at Sages growl "Nice to be on the same team," he told Shade before gently nudging Kai back to protection.


"I am not made of glass Shadow!" KAi retorted to the behavior.

 

[Ricia]

Shade nodded. He took a side of the group, though he walked a bit further away from it then the tight circle around Kai. Sage just made sure to flash tthe light around slowly, to make sure there was nothing to worry about.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai sighed the silence was bugging him.


Kat and Edmond both were so sufficatingly close all because they wanted to keep distance from Shade and to any who knew Kai could see the early effects of sheer annoyance. In a shallower tunnel closer to the top side they could hear screaming coming from air vents.


Kat cringed there was no way to get to anyone to help and even if they could they have no information on the monsters.


Kai cringed as well but his was internal externally he was cold and calm as always. "This is shit," the blonde said holding his gun with both hands.

 

[Ricia]

"Can't we help?" The girl asked.


"Only if you have a death wish." Shade told her as they walked, "They are high in numbers. They are making their ways across the city. Leaving dead people in their wake.. only to get up several hours later and increase their numbers. I've been watching their moment all morning. People are trying to contain them, but their are just too many.. they are being taken down by sheer numbers. If you go to help, you were surely be swept away."


"Who are they?" Sage asked.


Shade was quiet for a long moment, "I don't know. They news just says zombies. I'm not sure how much is true or not true if that is the case."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai sighed "This could all be bionuclear," he tried to rationalize "bio chemicals can do freaky stuff after all,"


"We can;t run forever... what will we do when we find them or them us?" the blonde asked


"I suggest you aim for the head, undead living I don't care you cant preform movement without a brain to send signals to the body," Kai replied


"yes boss," Kat said saluting Kai

 

[Ricia]

Shade nodded lightly when Kai made the suggestion. It was a good suggestion.


"So where were you headed Shade?" Sage asked him.


"Just out. I had not real destiniation... just out of the city." Shade said.


Sage took a small breath, they were headed to a safe house, but that felt way to far right now.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"They are taking me to a safe house," Kai said simply an unspoken invitation to Shade.


"Boss," Kat said in an uneasy manner.


"We need all the skilled allies we can get, I plan on going out to get my siblings," Kai was to the point about it Sage and Kat would both know how protective Kai was over them. "They will be fine for today,"

 

[Ricia]

"And where and how far is that, exsactly?" Shade asked walking with them.


Sage sighed softly, she was not sure if she wanted togo back out. But she didn't have a choice.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"The safe house is a few hours away since we are walking," Kai said simply.


"Boss, I'll go out to get your siblings... stay in the safe house," Kat told Kai and got a glare. Kai knew Kat was only trying to protect him the guy was always trying to protect him since he saved him when they were little.


"No," Kai said simply to his guard.

 

[Ricia]

Sage hadn't said a word much like the other foot solders. However, Kai knew when they got into private, Sage was going to tear at him. She always was quite in missions, but behind close doors was a different story.


Shade nodded while continuing onward with the group. They heard constant screaming and fear above them, sometimes it was silent. Eventually they got to where they thought was about right, Sage consulted a map ti double check before they started their emerge.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Edmond being the senior member of the group was the first to look out to see if the coast was clear. Kai was again trapped in a tight circle of armed bodies.


"Clear," he told them softly not seeing any of the so called zombies.

 

[Ricia]

"I'll go first." Sage told Edmond, She was about to take his place when shade stepped up.


"We need to get the manhole off as quietly as possible. I'll do it." Shade said, he had a lot of upper body strength. That he did, pulling the man hole up slowly before setting it down just as quietly. Sage popped her head out and looked around before she got out.


The girl followed behind Sage, leaving Kai to get up and the other three to come up last.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai climbed out quietly he looked around and was unnerved by how empty the place was people most likely were to scared to leave their houses if any were even left.


KAt followed Quickly to guard Kai's rear he handed Kai one of his hand guns in case they needed it. Kai was a pretty good shot so Kat was sure it was ok.

 

[Ricia]

"Shouldn't there be other guard here?" Sage asked looking up at the building.


Shade was looking around as well, he seemed pretty on edge.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Should be... but doesn't appear to be," Kai said


"Maybe they ducked inside to be safe," Kat suggested on edge and looking around.

 

[Ricia]

Sage sighed before head to it and trying to open the door. Maybe they'll get lucky one some of his sibling will already be here.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Sage was not lucky. In fact if Kat had not been so on edge she would have been the first victim of the group as a suited male groaned and went straight for her. Kat shot it in the head but the shot made more noise then he would have liked. the rotting corpse fell over and jerked a few times before stopping.


"Theres... no way they could have gotten here already," Kai said pulling Sage away from the door.
