“Is he going to be alright?” Mark and Oliver asked
“Yes. It was just a knock out drink. He is okay. 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 wish we could get somewhere and settle.” He said looking dejected
“Don’t worry… we will.”
Right at that moment the radio broadcasted
“ Can someone here me… Hello.. if you are out there and alive, please reply.
We are looking for survivors.”
“ Hello, we are here.” Peter took the radio from the table and answer before anyone could reply
“ Thank God. I am Lisa. We are at Medivines railway station. We have a large space with food, security, water and medication.&rdquo
"Emma we have to go. There is nothing you can do." James pulled me away as he killed another one behind meOld Kibali and Mark helped the kids and Mr. Oliver senior cross the fence. 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. I cried but there was nothing I could do" Let's go". Old Kibali said after he closed the fence to delay the dead from coming after usWith my weapons at hand I felt at my end.The kids, Mrs.' Kibali and Old Kibali were ahead as Oliver ran forward to help his brother carry their father. We walked through the farm going to the main road.I could no longer hear Peter scream. The gnarling grew distance on every step I took.In the next hour, we killed few on our way. I vent my anger and frustration on them. I made sure I killed them to stupor. The others looked at me like I was crazy. Even Javi looked at m
"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. He saluted and looked at him in anger. He found the gun in my boot. I wore a piece of sheath down there. It helps to keep weapons hidden.They took all our weapons and put them down in front of us. The leader
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.
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 soldiers on the other end st

“ 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
“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
Well, like any other virus affecting the world, this one come all too sudden and with little control.Early morning on Monday, I prepared my son Javi to go to school. I packed his lunch, water and breakfast for the whole day. It has been a routing for years that it only takes me an hour or so.At exactly 6:30 am, I led my son to board the school Van to go to school. I said hi to the school driver and the teacher on duty before going back in the house. I had so many things to do.I was done with laundry and heading to the kitchen when I heard shouting’s from outside. We live on the third floor room number 205. My husband worked at a research facility.For the last few days he had been busy and had little time to spend with us. Which is normal regarding his line of work. Saving people’s livesI rushed on the balcony to see what’s happening and I was stunned.People were attacking each other. It was weird. When two people atta
