“Yah, those are just the ones we have seen.” #zombie


“Granger, can you take the kids out and I will go and help my wife?”

Jayce starts to round them up.  In an attempt to focus the children, he asks them if they would like to play army.  The children nod with excitement.  Jayce then gently explains that they are going to march to the “Tank”.  Jayce un-holsters his pistol and hands it to Harris, who gladly takes it.  Jayce walks out the door leading the playful march to the waiting vehicle.  Ty and Ben fall in behind them, as the others keep their positions.  Andre opens the hatch.  Playing along as he salutes the children, allowing the children inside.  Jayce returns back inside.  Harris hands the pistol back to him as he enters.  Jayce takes the three small bags from Harris.

“You just help your wife out, I got these.”

Jayce reads the grown terror in Harris wife’s eyes.  Leaving the house behind, Harris locks the front door.  He points across the street and informs Jayce that the house across the street is his co-pilot’s house.  The co-pilot’s girlfriend sees Harris through her window and walks out to make sure everything is alright.

“Dan, is everything ok?” She asks.

“You need to quickly pack a bag and come with us.”

“But I have to go work.”

She looks at Dan’s wife, reading the terror in her face, and reluctantly agrees.  Jayce orders Harris to wait in the “Tank” with his family as he and his unit accompanies the young lady to her house to get her things.  Shortly later they return and situate all of their passengers.  With all of the VIP’s, only standing room remains, and they begin their journey back to the base.

Jayce stands by Ben as he drives back.  They watch out the windshield as the same buses and ambulances pass them once again.  It is a surprisingly smooth ride as Ben takes the vehicle over medians and anything else in his way.  With the base in sight, Jayce turns and calls Harris up to where he is.

“Captain, can you keep everyone preoccupied so they don’t have to see this?” Jayce asks him as he points towards the gates.  Ben abruptly swerves the vehicle.  As Jayce catches himself from falling, he sees the numerous creatures running towards them from a canal, paralleling the road in.

“Sir, I think the problem is bigger than anybody thinks,” Ben tells Jayce without taking his eyes off the road.
“Yah, those are just the ones we have seen.” Jayce answers.
