I waited at the back of the warehouse for a signal from the Old Kibali and James Kemeli. My hand was ready on the staring wheel and the engine running. Everything seemed like a dream to me
I kept on looking outside through the side mirror. In the next few minutes, we could hear gun shots from the other side of the building. I was worried for them and us. I saw through the rear window Old Kibali and James running towards the truck from the residence.
Placing my foot on the brakes, I waited for them to jump in before stepping on it. I took the corner and turned towards the main entrance of the warehouse. The men were shooting randomly at the door and stopped to shoot on us when I took the corner. All their attention were on us. I almost ran through them.
They ran out of the way but they did not stop shooting at us. I rolled over some of the bodies on the road bumping as I drove. I drove past the gate damaging the whole gate and the

“Where are they heading. They are thousands of them” Peter asked holding a touch running ahead of me“ I don’t know but something is happening. Probably they are hungry” James answered. His face could tell it all. He was scared and uncertainIn could feel the fear that I tried to suppress creeping in on me. I looked at the two boys under my care and became scared. I didn’t want anything to happen to any of them.“ They getting closer. Shit” Peter was getting agitated. All of us were“ Faster. Run faster. Lets get of the road.” Old Kibali said and we ran towards the grass field. It was the worse decision we made“ They too many. Mummy. Will they kill us”? Javi asked.

Early the next morning, I woke up to find Oliver senior and Mark had gone out to get gas supply from the neighboring ranch.“Good morning Oliver?” I walked outside the parlor and saw Oliver working on a few wooden sharp weapons“ Good morning Emma. How was your night?” he asked standing straight and dusting his clothes. He seemed tired and sweaty.“ I slept like a baby.” I answered him crouching down to look at the long and short wooden weapons on the ground“ Nice.” I admired the work of his hands. They were light but firm to hold in your hand. I stood up picking one long and swung it imagining fighting the dead“ Its great. Its light and easy to use. You are great.” I said picking a short and trying the same.“ Where is Mark and your dad. Have not seen them.” I asked curiously looking around further swinging the short wooden weapon unconsciously“ They hav

We are going to take turn to carry him until we reach a safe distance.” He said placing him down“Peter are you okay.” I walked to peter and asked. I noticed he looked deep in thoughts and worried“ I am okay. I am just tired of all this movement.

I ran and crossed the fence James and Oliver following behind me. I turned to see Peter being chewed by the dead right in front of me. His screams were miserable.

"Everybody down. Down. On your knees. Hand behind your head." They were too fast for us even to think. I held Javi and Dan and went on my knees with them. I could not give them a chance to separate us. I had hidden the gun, but I didn't know for how long though."Search them" I didn't even have time to breathe when the men came over to us. We had to stand and allow them to do everything on our bodies in the name of the search. The guy caressing my body was smiling evilly when Oliver ran to him. He tried to run to him but held back," don't you touch her." I had never seen such a look on his face. He was damn angry. It made me feel warm inside.Not only him but all the others were so angry, and you could see on their faces."Behave," the lead man said to the guy, searching for me.

The rest of the crew were happy with the treatment and a place to sleep. It was much safer and a great place to spend time before the virus could be developed.Richard was a beast. He could not let me sleep the whole night.It's like his life was active again. Like I was his antidote. He didn't stop until he was drained of all energy. The following morning he went o the lab leaving me sleeping in the huge bed. I cannot say it's a king-size bed, but it was better compared to what we had experienced the months before. I slept in late, and breakfast was brought in by one of the soldiers who brought us yesterday. I ate and looked for the kids.They had gone to play on an open floor in the building turned into a pitch. They were a basketball pitch and a golf pitch on the next floor. It was great for them to release their tensions sometime. I could see inside the other lab from the floor as the scientists went through the different procedures testing the rats set on small transparent boxes.

“Did you inject that thing?” Mark could not keep his curiosity to himself. That’s what I admire about Mark. He never shut his mouth when he feel dissatisfied or something disturbing him. That was something everyone was thinking“ No. Richard stopped me” He said looking at the injured Richard in gratefulness“ You knew it would turn people? Then why did you still take it out?” Oliver asked though I had doubt and questions on my mind as well.“ I dint know there would attack me to take it. It wasn’t finished but with it, we could solve the weakness and come with the right virus. It was incomplete.” Richard explained standing. He exclaimed holding his leg which I found weird.“ Are you okay?” I asked him in a low tone. He nodded but there definitely something wrong with him. The others walked ahead with Andrew to barricade the doors and the windows. Wherever there was a weakness and a possible attack point.I helped Richard go to the room and requested for Mrs. Kibali to open. I took him

“ What was their intention” I asked looking at the scientist on the other office. They looked pensive. Their eyes were on the soldier with Richard. It seem there was more to the injection than met the eye. Soon, all the infected in the room were send out successfully. The soldier with Richard looked our way and signaled for us to come down. I didn’t hesitate and moved down“ Javi and Dan. Remain here. Lock the door from inside. If anything happen don’t let anyone in.” I said to them kneeling down. I wasn’t sure about anything.“ I think senior Oliver should remain here as well” I turned to look at the old man. He looked at me like I took something precious from him“ Why me. I haven’t had fun since I woke up from this crazy man’s tea. I am going as well.” He said looking disgusted at Old Kibali“ Suit yourself. Don’t let us killed” Old Kibali retorted looking at him furious. It seem the old men would not let go of it if we let them argue“ I will stay here with the kids. You go” Mrs

After dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms. The kids, Richard and I went to ours while the others went to the next room. It was quiet in the room except in the middle of the night. There was a siren. The fire alarm had been triggered. The sound was irritable, but it was dangerous. We all ran out of the room as I asked the kids to wait inside. Richard came out with a gun which surprised me. I have never seen him with one. But could that really be a surprise at that chaotic time?"What's happening?" Richard took out a walkie-talkie he had with him and asked."One of the soldiers who came back is infected and has affected some of the others. One has entered the building, but the rest are locked out," a soldier shouted from the other floor."Everyone is careful. One of the soldiers you came with is infected and has affected the ones outside. I don't know the exact damage, but it will be handled. We are safe inside. Only one got in." he said when the soldi
