I opened my eyes as I drowsily sat up and quickly closed my eyes before opening them slowly for my eyes to adjust to the light, the first thing I saw was Rash standing in front of the window staring outside with a serious expression, seeing this I unconsciously grabbed my gun thinking there was danger and the noise drew the attention of Rash who grinned as he turned to me.“You finally up sleepy head, I was starting to think you were dead” Rash joked as I got up and wiped my eyes before staring outside where I recognized the figures of Roger and some other people with a few familiar faces from the previous night.“They’ve been there for almost 30 minutes, just standing there” Rash said after seeing my actions.“Grab the guns and wake the girls, we’re going out” I said with a frown as I walked back and picked up my gun as I counted the remaining number of bullets, we needed to conserve our ammo because we didn’t know what the future held for us.*****************************************
“Because of the recent activities, we’ve stuck to sleeping in small groups so you guys will be staying here, if you need anything someone will be outside to attend to you, I’ll leave you guys now, when you’re ready you can come downstairs and I’ll introduce you to the rest” Roger said with a smile after leading them to a huge room before he left.“Hmmp, attending to us? More like watching us, I don’t think we should trust them, Dom, I’m telling you” Rash said with a look of annoyance.“I think he’s right, since we don’t know whom we can trust at this point, we should try to act amicable but keep an eye out for any suspicious activity” Tasha suggested with a nod after hearing Rash.“Hmm, something feels off about this whole thing, I keep having this bad premonition like something bad is coming” I said with a deep frown, I couldn’t shake off this bad feeling like something big was approaching.“It’s probably since you haven’t, you know drank any blood since that day” Rash joked.“Rash!”
“It’s you” I said in shock as I stared at the figure before me trembling in fear.“Please don’t kill me, sob” A little voice sounded from the figure who then started sobbing as I suddenly realized that the gun was still pointed at him.“Oh no no I’m not going to kill you, don’t cry” I quickly placed the gun back as I stared at the child crying in front of me, when I first entered the room, I wasn’t able to recognize the figure because he was crouched but now I could finally see the full appearance of the figure, it was a kid maybe 10-11 years, he had brown hair and blue eyes which were clouded as tears fell from them, he was wearing a red sweater and it was actually because of this that I had recognized him, he was among the kids I had seen when I first arrived.“I’m sorry if I scared you, I just…I was just startled that’s all” I said while taking a step toward the frightened kid who retreated in fear, seeing this I tried to think of a way to make the kid feel okay.“Oh, hey look I ha
“I need to speak to Roger now” I said to the guard that was standing in front of the door which led to the conference room.“I’m sorry but they’re currently having a meeting so they can’t be disturbed” The guard said with a look of disdain on his face as he waved his hand in a motion to say ‘shoo’.“Hey, now you listen you little…” Rash started and was about to blast the guy when I stopped him.“It’s okay Rash, I guess we know who’s working with the reaper now” I said as we turned to leave.“Wait what do you mean?” The guard asked with a frown, his interest piqued.“Chuck is it? Yeah so I just discovered a key clue that could help us catch the killer and I was about to share it with the others but since you’ve decided not to grant us access, it means that you might possibly be a partner to our neighborhood killer, I’ll be sure to chip in that point the next time I have a chat with Roger, come on Rash let’s go” I said with a shrug as I turned to Rash with a wink.“Yeah I’m sure he’ll b
“WHAT! How dare you accuse us” Henry exclaimed angrily as he stared at me.“Your behavior seems suspicious, you sure you’re not the killer” Rash said suspiciously to Henry who glared at him.“I dare you to say that again” Henry said coldly as Rash got up ready for a showdown. “Hey just calm down, listen Henry as much as I would love to praise you and overestimate you for being the killer, I’m sorry to say but you are too dumb to be the killer, the killer would never be someone as stupid as you” I said with a smirk toward Henry who with each word got more and more furious, he was about to blast when suddenly a crackle of laughter sounded which caused everyone to pause and turn towards the source in shock.“Hahahahaha, I’m sorry for that, I’m sure you have your reasons for suspecting us, and with all you’ve brought forth, your actions are justified but if you suspected us, why did you tell us all this even while you know that the killer may be among us” Max asked after his hearty laugh
“Whooosh” A military jet roared as it descended onto a landing zone, seconds after it landed, the door opened as a calm and handsome man walked out with a bag over his shoulder, as he got out he first breathed in the fresh air and smiled as if reminiscing old memories.“Welcome back General Dominic, it’s nice to have you back” A soldier said with a military salute to the young man who just arrived.“It’s good to be back General Cross” I replied with a military salute then hugged the man as we both laughed.“let’s go, the boys have all been expecting you” Sergeant Cross said as he walked me across the field where several soldiers could be seen training, after spotting Cross and I together, some of the soldiers paused as they studied me curiously.“Who’s the Major General talking to?” A soldier asked his senior officer.“Have you ever heard of ‘The Lone Wolf’?” The senior officer asked with a smile.“The lone wolf!...you mean the guy who never failed a mission during all his time in the
“Maria wait” Roger shouted out to stop her.“ROARRR” A loud roar suddenly echoed from the room as Maria froze in fear and watched as a zombie leaped towards her.BANG BANGTwo shots sounded as the zombie dropped to the ground and started twitching, from the bullet holes, green blood flowed from within as Roger stared at it in disgust.“Maria, are you okay?” Roger asked Maria who nodded while trembling, the situation had evidently frightened her.“I’m fine” Maria answered while staring at the zombie.“Is that Alex?” She asked with tears in her eyes.“I’m sorry” Roger replied as she placed her head on his chest and cried out.“Listen Maria, I need you to leave now, go to Max, he’ll know what to do, something urgent came up and you need to be protected, go I’ll explain later” Roger said to Maria with a serious face, seeing his face, she knew that he was serious, that coupled with the recent incident caused her to leave in a hurry.“Hey Dominic, danger averted, she’s safe thanks to you”
“Fuck, I need to escape fast” I said to myself as I put my hand into my back pocket to see if what I placed was there but I was disappointed to find out that it was missing.“Of course he wouldn’t leave it” Obviously Jack The Ripper was too smart to not have searched me, I was lucky he didn’t find the radio, but I had also obviously also expected this.“Yes it’s still there” I grinned as I felt around my right wrist where I located my wristwatch, I took it off and opened the back and used my finger to fee within where I located a broken blade, I gripped the blade tightly and got to work cutting my bonds, after a few minutes, I had finally cut off the bonds around my wrist.“Whew, finally free” I let out a sigh of relief while I massaged my wrists.“Now to get back” I got up and grabbed the knife on the floor then left.*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************“W
