"You both need to stop right now and take this out like adults. You see that he is dying." Lisa pointed at Joel. "Go ahead, doctor. Have the bullet taken out." Rick said he was staying by Joel's side. The doctor looked at the nurse, and they immediately prepared for surgery. The loud noise and pain of Joel were heard each time the bullet was tried to be removed. The time was slower than usual, but they finally had Jeol stabilized. "Thank you very much, doctor. I am indebted to you." Rick shook his hands. Dennis smiled. "I am only a doctor, and I am only doing my job." He said it with a smile on his face. Rick looked around and didn't see Martha. "Where is my wife?" Rick asked, looking at Lisa, who was a little sleepy. "She was here a few minutes ago and..." Lisa looked around and didn't see her. "Can you stay with him? I need to find her. We have some unfinished business, and we need to talk about it right now." Rick said that and got up to his feet. "Okay, but promise me you are go
Rick was immediately taken into the infirmary to heal. "You both need to start explaining right now!" Lisa said it with anger. "He entered my room, and the light was out. I had thought he was an intruder, and we fought. That was when Martha walked up to him and stabbed him. Nothing more than that happened." Mark said, looking at Martha, who also noted The doctor walked out with his hand soaked in blood. "We have managed to stop the bleeding. He should be up by evening." He replied and walked away. "I am going to stay with him." Martha said, looking at Mark and Lisa. Lisa looked at her with the corner of her eyes and back at Martha. "I don't think you should. I am going to stay with him. You both can leave now." She said she was looking at them suspiciously. Rick had been one of the best fighters she had ever seen. They had both gone through a lot together to get to where they were now. "Why would you want to stay with my husband? Is there something you are hiding from me?" Martha sa
Rick walked into the council's midst as they planned the progress of the community. "You are not supposed to be here." One of the council elders said, looking at Rick, that he didn't care about what he said. "Since when?" Rick shouted at Mark. The atmosphere was tense as the men looked at both Rick and Mark. They didn't understand what Rick was saying. "She didn't love you, man. She never has." Mark replied with a cold gaze, making Rick even more angry. "Are you telling me you have been lying to my wife all this time?" Rick asked with anger visible on his face. "I don't understand why you would take this up with me when you should be talking to your wife." Mark replied. It was obvious that he wasn't remorseful about what was going on. Without wasting any more time, Rick climbed the table and raced towards Mark. He headbutted him in the face, and both men began to fight. The elders tried to stop them, but they were out of control. Lisa looked back and saw one of the men running to
Lisa looked at Joel's face. "Joel, dad is waiting for you. He asked me to bring you over." Lisa said with her hands stretched out to him. "Listen to me, Joel; I am your mother. Don't you answer her?" Martha scolded Joel with a stern face. "Is dad alright?" Jeol asked, lowering his gun. "He is; he wants you to come with me." Lisa said with a smile. Jeol took Lisa's hands, and they both walked out of the room, leaving Martha alone. Rick was about to walk out of the hall when Mark got up from the ground. His face looked as vicious and white as snow. "Do you think you can get away from here unscathed?" He snarled at him. Rick looked at him, and he knew he had become a human zombie. "How?" Rick said, slowly looking at Mark, who was enjoying his new form. "I don't have to pretend anymore; we are past friends now. Do you think I have loved you all this time? You took the most precious thing away from me, and you think we can be friends. She doesn't love you, Rick. as she loved me." Mark s
Martha looked at Rick as she looked back at Mark. "I am pregnant, Rick. Why don't we let this die down?" She said it slowly and with teary eyes. Before she could finish her words, a zombie walked in and bit Martha on the neck. Rick stood still while Mark shouted and ran towards her, trying to save her. Without wasting time, Rick grabbed Joel, and they ran out of the building. They tried to avoid most of the people who are now being bit by zombies. They shouted in pain as they turned. Rico, Lisa and Joel, who are now the only surviving members of the community, were able to walk out alive without the bite. "Where do we go from here?" Lisa looked at Rick, who had a bit of a worried look. His life was a mess, with his wife being bitten and his best friend becoming a zombie. "I don't know. The system charged me with the mission of locating Grimagar, and I must. I don't know why, but I think he owes me." Rick replied "Why don't we first get to safety?" Lisa looked up, and the skies were
Rick fell to the ground beside Joel, shouting his name as the little kid closed his eyes slowly. "I am sorry; I didn't mean to. I thought.." The man looked scared. "Hurry; we have a medic in the community," he said, leading the way. Without wasting time, Rick carried Joel, and the race began to save his life. "Hang on, Joel. We are almost there." Rick said each time, looking at Joel and wincing in pain. They got to the front gate, and it was immediately opened, with Rick running through. The man shouted and was given an emergency signal, and some nurses ran out of a makeshift hospital. They immediately carried Joel away into the theater once again to be operated on. Rick looked at the man who was looking worried. He wanted to pounce on him. "Are you telling me you didn't know you were shooting a kid?" He shoutedMany people were looking at Rick, who was losing his coolness. It was the second time Joel had been treated for a gunshot wound. "We can't afford to make an enemy right now
{ BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE } " You do know my wife is hosting this party for your birthday?" Rick grinned looking at Mark as they stake out at the front of Lord Patrick's home. " I told you, Rick. Cassandra is planning a surprise party also and gosh I can't wait to have her all to myself." Mark replied " Cassandra? The girl with a big tilt." Rick looked at Mark and laughed. " Don't laugh, she is the woman I wanna spend the rest of my life with." Mark burst out laughing " oh really? You said the same thing when you met with, Lily. Or do I need to remind you?" Rick laughed passing the stethoscope to Mark. " Patrick is on the move, We need to catch him in the act if we are going to have him arrested. Let's go!." Lord Patrick was being watched by the FBI for some time now. He had been involved in some drug dealing and needed to be brought in. Rick took out his radio phone calling all police units. As the police units mobilized, Rick and Mark stealthily moved closer to Lord P
{ A LOST WORLD } WEEK THREE Rick woke up and saw the ward door was barred. He remembered trying to reach for a letter and quickly got up. He unplugged the machine he had stopped working and looked around. The hospital was a mess. " what happened here?" Rick asked himself as he walked closer to the window that was closed. Looking outside the hospital, Rick saw a lot of people walking up and down in circles. He was confused. " Why are there a lot of people at the hospital? is there an emergency?" He asked himself walking back to his bed He looked at the bed where he had seen a letter from Martha but it was no longer there. Looking at the beautiful flowers, they all seem old now and withered. " How long have I slept for?" Rick looked at the calendar right in front of him. " Have I been asleep for three years? l or three weeks?" He asked himself checking out the year on the calendar. The static television began to make some weird sound causing a little bit of noise. Rick looked up a
