“Xander, anything on your mind?” Phillip asked him as he woke up from his little recap. For some reason, he had begun to remember all the events that led him to their current situation.“No, I’m fine sir. Nothing to worry about here.” Xander said as he regained focus on the gates in front of him. Greyson saved them, who knows what would have become of them if they didn’t stumble across them.He joined the SLF immediately in order to rid himself of the shame that went with him wherever he went. His father's death was on him as far as he was concerned and he had to atone for it.He didn’t like the nonchalant attitude of some of the people in the force, especially their leader but he put up with it anyway despite their taunting and insults at his professionalism.“This isn’t the army kid” or “loosen up a bit.” And “you’re still young”. Those were all things he heard quite frequently since joining the force but he didn’t let them get to him. He simply did what was required of him.As the

“Where did you leave her?” Christopher asked his son in between breaths while simultaneously clutching his side.Xander looked a bit closer at the area he thought his father had originally gotten injured before, it almost seemed to be becoming… darker-“Xander answer me! Where is Hailey?” Christopher asked again, bringing Xander back to his senses. “Yes, yes I’ll take you to her right now.” Xander said as he opened the door to the bakery and rushed into the kitchen.“Hailey, you’re still here right?” Xander asked as he knelt down next to the cupboard he left his sister in.A moment passed and he could hear her subtle sobs through the wooden door. “Sniff.. yeah... I am... sob.” The little girl said and a wave of relief washed over both Xander and his father.“Come out for me sweetie.” Christopher said and quickly the little girl rushed out and ran to hug her daddy.“Daddy… sob... I thought you were gonna get hurt.” She said as she jumped into her father's arms who lifted her and hugge

The sun had barely risen when, just as they had previously planned, everyone had assembled in front of Greysons safe house.Phillip, Frank, Andrew, Dina, Xander, Greyson and a couple guards were all standing in front of the building. Obviously Greyson and Frank were not going to follow them on the expedition, however he came to offer his moral support.They were given a single armored vehicle with enough food and water to last them at least a week. Their objective was simple. Find the kid and bring him back to the base.“We are all packed and ready to go.” Andrew said as he joined the group who were now standing in a circle. Philip glanced at Dina who noticed and turned her gaze away from him. “Alright. I am sorry that I have to rely on all of you once again but that is simply the situation that we find ourselves in.” Greyson said to them.“Not at all, this is what we signed up for when we decided to become a part of the settlement.” Phillip said to Greyson.“Definitely, besides this

Phillip took a deep breath and nodded towards the guards beside him. They opened the door and led him into the building. As they walked past, Phillip could see the design of the building was different from what it displayed outside.As they entered the building, Phillip noticed that there was a large space between the four corners of the building. Trees and other vegetation occupied the area, it was refreshing to see greenery well-kept in such a chaotic setting.They turned a corner which led them to a hallway that stretched for what felt like miles. Eventually, they got to another corner when the guards surrounding him came to a pause.“You’ll need to put this on from here.” One of them said while bringing out a black mask, which he wanted to put over Phillips's head or so he supposed. “What exactly is the point of that?” Phillip asked with a lame expression on his face.“The location of Sir Greyson is confidential and respectfully speaking, you are still an outsider. So please compl

The silence that filled the air sent shivers through the spines of everyone there, including Phillips Circle who could not believe what they had just seen.Perhaps not Christopher but Andrew and Dina were visibly shocked. Their eyes widened in shock and mouths dropped at the sight of Phillip, their Phillip had just murdered someone in front of them.Yes, he was evil, yes he was a menace and yes he was working for the enemy but Philip ended his life without so much as a second thought. The smile he had after was eerie as well, this was a new side they never expected to see.Killing infected when necessary and incapacitating people, that was what they knew him to be capable of. This however was beyond what they had expected.“Everyone, attack!!” Kiara said after suddenly being brought back to reality after seeing Xavier’s body drop to the ground. “Andrew, Chris, get to cover!” Phillip said as he disappeared from their sight. All of a sudden all they could see was the body of guards bei

CHAPTER 32Dina and Andrew tiptoed through the large city, trying their best to stay away from the hidden lights of the watchtowers. They covered a decent amount of ground before finally coming across the more bush part of the settlement: the slums they had passed earlier.They saw some guards but saw no reason to be scared of them since they began to see other residents moving about so they just decided to blend in with the crowd. They had covered themselves up with scarves to hide their identities, especially Phillip. His hair and eye color always stuck out like a sore thumb. They began moving through the slums, they saw people sleeping under the tents and inside the makeshift container houses.However, the more they walked the larger the crowd seemed to become. As they were reaching towards the center they saw a gathering of people surrounding a bonfire. The air around them was one full of cheer and heartiness.It was admirable considering their deplorable conditions. Phillip loo

There was a brief silence that enveloped the room before Phillip finally broke it. “I’m sorry, what do you mean by saving everyone?” He asked, obviously intrigued by what she had just said.“Well Phillip, I know what you are. In fact, I’m just like you.” She said while leaning forward. “You see, just like you I was infected with the virus. When it happened I thought I was going to die, but I started experiencing changes in my body. Would you believe me if I told you I was only 28 years old?” Andrea asked to the surprise of everyone.Aside from her eyes, her skin was wrinkly and soft. The lines on her face whenever she smiled and the gray hair on her head. They all completely went against what Andrea was saying. She probably expected this, as she started explaining her circumstances. “Whenever I use my powers, I get a glimpse into the happenings of the future. The more I use this power, the more it takes a toll on my body. So I try my best to use it sparingly.” She explained to them.

Crap.' Philip thought as he tensed and struggled inside the cage."Don't bother, there's no way for you to move and gather enough force to break through since every part of your body is trapped." The guy said with indifference and with a wave of his hand, Philip was pulled to him."Now that I've captured you, my mission is complete. Now be obedient and let's go." Hearing this, Philip shouted some obscene things, but the guy made it so that sound couldn't escape from the cage.Seeing this, Philip slumped in his binding.'What am I supposed to do? I can't pull my fists back to attack the barrier, and I can't run either.' Philip was at a loss and wanted to pull at his hair. His frustration was understandable. After all, they'd put so much effort into running, but he got captured like this?"Unfortunately, I have to carry you back. Otherwise, I would have gone to kill those pests. After all, we can't have you being distracted when you eventually go and meet the boss. Oh well, I'll just do

Xander was in a bind, the cabin they had struggled so much to get to was right in front of them but instead of relief, he felt tension. The people there numbered about ten or so, it wouldn’t be wise to confront them head-on.Furthermore, he did not want to approach them either. After what he had experienced with Mark and Adrian, he did not want to give anybody the benefit of the doubt. He could still remember the look on his face when he tried to choke the life out of him. He had gotten wiser in the last twenty-four hours believe it or not.He concluded that the best he could do was simply try to get enough cans of food before the others entered into the cabin. Funnily enough, they seemeddisagreeing. An older man with patches of grey hair seemed to be telling them not to forcefully enter, while a slightly younger man, probably middle-aged was raging for them to break the door down.This however was not a time for him to gawk and stare. It was a time for him to act! “Hailey, stay here

"Life can be annoying honestly," Andrew said as he looked through the window at the harsh downpour of the rain.When the group thought that they could move for a few more hours until sunset, it suddenly began to rain heavily. Enough to force them to seek shelter.Hence, they quickly found a gas station and decided to hunker down there. On the bright side though, there were some old comics they could use to entertain the kids. And a toilet, so they didn't have to ease themselves in the open as they had been doing since."With how hard the rain is falling, we might be leaving here by noon tomorrow. Just our luck." Andrew lamented. But who could blame him? They were trying so hard to cut their travel time and arrive at the settlement, and yet they just kept facing setback after setback."Fretting over it won't change anything. It's unfortunate but that's just how it is. The only thing we can do now is take it the best we can and keep moving." Philip said, however, Andrew raised a brow.W

“Do not even Think about stopping until I say so!” Andrew barked at the troops who were visibly tired while running laps.Their bodies seemed to ache and their chests heaved with each breath they took in. Andrew watched their progress with a whistle around his neck and arms folded across his chest.Ever since he became Captain, he had completely turned around the training regime of the force. They were now more effective and able to handle more difficult situations, thanks to Andrew’s guidance.He continued to watch over their progress when he heard the sound of a vehicle drive onto the training ground. He turned around and saw one of Greysons aides alight from the vehicle and walk up to him.“Captain Andrew, I have been instructed to take you to Mr Greyson immediately. He said there is something you must need to know.” She said.Andrew looked at the troops who were running behind him, of course they prayed internally that he would leave so that they could get a chance to rest after

In the blink of an eye Phillip was already at the front lines where the soldiers were assembling themselves and putting on their gear. They were spooked when he suddenly appeared out of seemingly thin air. “Who’s in command here?” Phillip asked the slightly frightened group in front of him.“Well based on what’s just happened wouldn’t that be you sir?” A voice said sarcastically from behind, generating a slight chuckle from all the members behind him.He was an average heighted man with well built muscles, a full face beard and ebony black skin and a shiny bald head to top it off.Phillip asked that question to know the hierarchy of the group and who’s responsible for what. “That’s very funny, however I don’t know if you are all aware but that alarm means there’s a swarm of infected rushing towards this base, correct?” He asked while turning his gaze to all of them who were staring at him.“Yes we know, we also know we don’t need one of those freaks to tell us how to do a job we’ve b

Phillip and Andrew leave the room in silence, walking side by side. They were still trying to comprehend what they had just heard.Even Phillip who was the first to be informed still had a hard time believing it. Turning people into infected for personal gains was something he never thought he would discover.However that was the reality, and all they could do was stop it from happening. “When do you want us to leave?” Andrew asked, bringing Phillip back to reality.“I was thinking tomorrow, any later than that and it would be unnecessary. We do not exactly have that much time to waste, especially considering we do not even know if the boy is still wandering the streets by himself.” Phillip responded.“What about Dina? Has she been informed about what is going on?” Andrew asked once again.Phillip shook his head, they had not mentioned anything to her yet as he did not see it as that important. But now that he thought about it, he would need her help since they were dealing with a chi

In the blink of an eye, a whole week had passed.The group was getting more and more accustomed to their new residence and life in the settlement. It was weird since they were so used to finding an infected at least once or twice in a day, so returning back to a somewhat normal life was a little foreign.However, they did still adapt to their new lifestyle quickly. So when they were confident, they all finally decided to look for something to do.Also, Frank hadn't stopped collecting blood from Philip, and according to the bags under his eyes and the excited expression he had on his face each time he invited Philip to his lab, Philip judged that his blood was indeed helping.He had tried to watch Frank work but gave up almost immediately as he failed to understand anything he was doing.On the other hand, Andrew and Dina had been socializing with the other survivors in the settlement. Most of them were pretty hospitable and had no problem in getting acquainted with the duo.There was

CHAPTER 30Phillip and his crew walked closely together as they passed through the makeshift wooden gates which led them into the settlement. They tried to observe as much as they could while passing through, especially exits should they need to escape from the place for any reason.The walls were made from timber and reinforced by rows of lamp posts, despite the fact that the infection spread less than two months ago the measures they had taken to protect themselves were very impressive.And unlike his earlier assumptions, the walls actually spanned about 3 kilometers across all four sides of the settlement. Every 50 meters or so there was a watch tower with people with guns at the top.Upon closer inspection, some parts of the walls were covered in graffiti. Names of departed, days In captivity and other random yet strange things were painted on the walls.“Follow me.” Alice said as she turned and passed through what was formerly a commercial district but had now become a makeshift

“The primaries aren’t looking too good Mr Greyson.” His secretary said after making his presentation on the projector in Greysons office. He was holding some documents and graphs from the last primaries that had just been held concerning his rerun election. He was pursuing a second term in office as the next round of elections was coming up.“Just what could the problem be Chris? I kept all the promises I made during my campaigns, so just why are the polls so negative.” Greyson said as he leaned back in his chair and put his palms on his face.Chris could only look at his boss with a bit of sympathy. Ever since the introduction of the G-Virus which still couldn’t be explained, his competitors had begun to take advantage of the situation. Making promises such as protecting those who voted for them from the virus.Although it was a deplorable tactic, it seemed to be working. Greysons main competitor, Judas Layton was the embodiment of power hungry. He had always been guilty of making f

Frank opened the door and at the entrance stood two guards with masks standing at attention. They both saluted when they saw Frankwho acknowledged them before returning to their natural positions.“This was please.” Frank said as he gestured in front of him and took charge. As they walked, Phillip couldn’t help but notice the other scientists that occupied the makeshift laboratory.The building seemed to be an old building which they had converted quite nicely into a suitable laboratory. There were at least a dozen people in there with their own secluded workspaces and tables set up with various gadgets and equipment.Lights flashed, equipment beeped and notes were taken as they studied the various tasks that were in front of them. He caught a glimpse of some fascinated faces when he was making his way past some of their desks.He could see their curiosity visible written across their faces as he walked by. ‘What a specimen!’ Some of their faces screamed as they walked further into th
