Fort Lauderdale, Florida - 11:34pm


Richard sped down the highway with his gun in the passenger seat. He heard whirring police sirens that interrupted his little drinking session, and when he went to look, hell had broken out on the street. He didn't know until he checked the news. The whole country was going to hell. He kept on driving. He had to reach his sister's house to find her and get her out of the state, and hopefully to some place safe. He'd seen people covered in blood, all torn up and frenzied - some ran, and some walked. He didn't know what to do, but he stayed well away from them. He was curious to whether or not there were other people who had seen these things, or if someone had been killed by one of them yet. He didn't want to think about it, not one bit. (@Harbinger)

Boston, Massachusetts - 11-40 PM


Jason busted through the door of his home to escape from his now turned friends. He woke up a few minutes later to hear loud screaming from the living room. His girlfriend was being opened by his two friends that were covered in blood and had eyes dark as night. While trying to not draw the attention of them, he threw up though when he saw the blood and alerted them. Breaking a sweat while trying to get to his car, he floored it and began his trek down the highway to see buildings burning and bodies limping across the roads chasing after fleeing civilians.

 

[DrTrollinski]

He heard some crying coming from a house nearby his sister's own. He didn't know what to do - it sounded like children were crying, but he couldn't tell. It was too muffled. He charged into his sister's house with his gun in hand looked around - he couldn't see or hear anything. He charged to her room and froze when he saw her body lying on the floor. Oh god. Her throat had been born out, she lied in a pool of her own blood - the person who saved his life so many times was dead, and he couldn't even return all the favors she did for him. He fell to his knees and started crying; he soon fell to the floor and placed the gun to his head, sobbing and blubbering and pondering over what he was going to do from now on. He had nothing left.

Within a few hours Jason had reached the lower part of Connecticut and had seen more people dying and buildings on fire. He was running on adrenaline and was nervous of everything that appeared to the side or in front of him. When reaching the state line, a figured appeared in front of him and he couldn't hit the brakes hard enough. The man laid on the road all bloodied and dead, Jason took the gear from him, there was a satchel with some food in it and a small hatchet. Driving away before another infected person came and started to eat the body, Jason continued to drive before his vehicle ran out of gas and he took another vehicle and began to drive in an unknown direction.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Richard heard the crying get worse. They were definitely children, young ones too. This was his salvation. He sprung up and ran out of the house and busted through the door of the house - he remembered now, when he last visited his sister's house, these kids were much younger. He didn't know their names, and he didn't know them, but he needed to help them. As soon as the door got kicked down he heard a shriek followed by fast footsteps running from upstairs. He raised his gun, and as soon as the two came into view he fired two shots - both the man and woman dropped to the floor. He ran upstairs and went to the room he heard the crying - the door was scratched up, but the kids inside were lucky the door hadn't been knocked down yet. They both screamed and scrambled under the bed when they saw him. (@Harbinger)

Jason had reached what he believed South Carolina around 4 am or so. He saw the same thing but less of it and more wooded areas. Finally running out of gas in the middle of no where, he decided to walk the rest of the way until he ran up to a small group of people that were willing to trade some things for food. Giving them his last bits of food and some water, they gave a him an old assault rifle with one clip of ammo left. He continued walking until the sun rose and hid in a now abandoned, cleaned out gas station for a while to get some rest.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Richard instantly went to the bed and crouched down beside it. He knew that he couldn't scare them any further or he'd have no hope in helping them.


".. Hey, guys... I'm not here to hurt you..." He said softly, looking around the bedroom. They kept crying - he never had kids of his own so he didn't know how he was going to act here. He ducked down and looked under the bed at them. ".. I'm a friend... We need to get out of here - We need to go find the police, or something... you want to come with me?" He asked. A young girl crawled out from under the bed without saying a word and was holding a boy's hand. Richard sighed and quickly picked them both up and ran outside to his car. He got them both in the back and then started driving off - He was heading straight out of Florida. The first state he came to was Georgia. He got there within a few hours, but it was very late now, and they were all tired, but no one was asleep. (@Harbinger)

Jason began walking again after getting some sleep and some more food in him. He continued walking down the main road until he saw he was entering Georgia. He kept a small bandana over his mouth now and a hat to keep himself unnoticed and made sure that looters thought before trying to attack him. A few hours later he saw a car driving down the road, he pulled his gun down and waved at them to stop and maybe be kind to give him a ride.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Jesus..." Richard muttered. He slowly pulled over and looked at the man that was waving. He looked into the back at the two children who still hadn't said a word to him. He sighed, he didn't even know their names yet and they were still crying. He was clueless on what he was going to do - he'd figure it out another time, but right now, he reached to the passenger seat and grabbed his gun before tucking it into his pants and looking at the kids. ".. You guys wait here, okay?" He said, then he hopped out of the car and waved back at Jason. (@Harbinger)

 

[Harbinger]

"excuse me sir, I was wondering if you could give me a ride. I have nothing I can give in return but if we could work something out, I would do that as well." He kept his hands above his head to say that he meant no harm and kept his rifle down at his waist pointed at the ground. "If you want to leave me then go ahead, I'm just looking to get out of her before some of those things or people less friendly than you come."

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. Sure. Get in." He mumbled. He was a shell of a broken man on first glance - his breath reeked of alcohol and his skin was like red leather - surely his liver must have been like one of a french goose as well. Regardless, he was packing a heavy weapon and he didn't look like he had time for fucking around. He nodded his head backwards towards the car and then wandered off to the driver's side again and climbed in. He was sick of this already. He was still trying to get his head around what was going on - he waited for Jason to climb in and then started driving. Jason could have only gotten into the front passenger seat seeing as the kids were in the back. ".. What's your name, kid?" He grumbled. (@Harbinger - Sorry that some of my responses were delayed. I was busy with something :c)

 

[Harbinger]

"I'm not so tempted to reveal that yet sir, I'm just wondering where you plan on going. I came from Massachusetts and it is pretty bad all the way up there. Many of the people were doing unspeakable things, ripping the throats out of people, eating their entrails, blood all over their mouths." Jason stopped after a few more examples and didn't pay attention to the kids in the back seat who were crying. He took his gun and checked it to see if there were any problems and to see how much ammo he had left.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Richard reached out and punched his shoulder. ".. The kids don't need to hear all that." He sighed and continued driving onward. ".. I don't know where I'm going. Somewhere that's safe until this shit blows over, that's where." He added, he flicked on the radio and managed to tune it into a station.


'Country 108! Your home of Country Music!'





Finally. Something that was hopefully uplifting. He knew this station would be down in a few hours if things got any worse, but he hoped that this would survive long enough for them to listen to a few good tunes. He turned the volume to low. ".. What, you ain't revealing your name? This ain't no fuckin' spy movie. I used to be a therapist, oath of secrecy, and all that. I think the kids would be more comfortable if they knew as well." He said. (@Harbinger)

 

[Harbinger]

"I'm so sorry mister but I just lost my self in all the things I saw. My name is Jason if you care, I'm just a little wary of talking to new people. People are starting to be protective of things since every thing has happened. I don't think this thing will be slowing down, the army has been abandoning their posts from what I've seen and people are starting to loot them for supplies." He hated the music but continued to look out the window and do nothing.

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. I saw my sister's dead body." He said in a shaky voice. He locked his empty eyes on the road and then took a deep breath. "I know what you mean, don't worry... We'll be fine. I've got a gun, you've got a gun... If anything happens, we'll be ready..." He said, he then looked in the rear view mirror at the still sobbing children. "But nothing's going to happen, so that's okay." He said in a louder tone so that they could hear it. He began whispering to Jason now. ".. So, Jason, where do you recommend we go?" He asked.

(@Harbinger - I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that you're not longer interested?)
