After Ebola

Chapter 4

Connor and I wake up on the floor. We must have had one too many shots . Genie isn't up yet, thank goodness .

"Connor wake up ,come on wake up please!" I say in a desperate whisper . "What ... my head hurts . " he says dazed.

"we have to clean up before Genie gets up, if she found out we took shots , more than one , she'll kill us." I say as Alex starts to get up.

"How are you handling this so well ? My head hurts so bad. You've done this before haven't you Kate ?"

"Yes ... I was out with friends and my dad made me sometimes ." I say

"Your pretty good at this , cleaning up with a hangover . "

"Done !" We say in sinc . Genie wakes up . "Wow you all cleaned up didn't you ? This whole place looks much better " Genie says. "Thanks" Connor and I say at the same time.

I wink at Connor and we both laugh.

"I want to go outside , there are six AK47 guns with bayonets in gun room Arabs there is over six thousand rounds for each gun . That room is completely full of guns and ammunition . " I say and they stare at me.

"Why would you want to go out there with those zombies You could die, Kate." Genie says .

"I know but it would be fun and Connor and I could practice for if we ever have to fight them." I try to reason with them.

"Ok . Who said I am going out there ? " Connor says.

"Do you want to go with me Connor ? "

" Well now that I think about it , and you pleading , Yeah I'll go as long as we can suit up in them suits this place has ." He replies . "Lets go then , see yah Genie " I say.

"I forgot to tell you about the gun room, Connor . There is over two hundred guns and at least one million rounds there is also a lot of knives in here too, grab a couple of machetes ."

"Ok" he says .

I grab two AK47 's with bayonets and about a hundred rounds . I give a gun and fifty rounds too him . "I don't know how to use it . " Connor says . I laugh.

"it is easy . Pull the trigger, rounds fire . It is an automatic so it is easy. " I load fifty rounds into the gun . Then I pull out the bayonet "this is for stabbing . Got it ?" I say.

"Yeah let's go get suited up." We go to the exit where the suits are and get dressed . We are wearing a gas mask, a big camouflage suit tall rubber steal toed boots and we have our guns and machetes .

"Bang" Alex fires the gun , shoots the zombie but doesn't kill it. "maybe it is like that old show The Walking Dead and you have to shoot them in the head" I say. He shoots it in the head , and it falls to the ground.

"I call being Rick !" Connor says , and we laugh.

Now there is a herd of zombies coming our way . "Shit " Connor says .

"Can we take them ?" "Bring it on " Connor says as he starts climbing a tree ,I go too. Bang , bang , bang . We are killing them left and right .

"Bang bang choo choo train come on zombies we'll fuck your brain!" I scream at them as I shoot.

"Was that necessary?" Alex looks at me and laughs. I laugh too.

We shoot them for an hour . "I'm bored Connor ." he looks at me confused . Don't shoot this one yet only shoot if this goes wrong I say, and look him in the eye .

We let the zombie come close and he is three foot away. I jump down and land beside it. It moans the most horrible sound I ever heard , and comes at me , at a fast pace . "Hit me with your best shot ,bitch." I say as I doge an attempt to run at me .

"What are you doing Kate ?!" Connor screams. "having fun" I laugh and doge another attempt . It tries again and I grab its arm and twist it backwards . Crack The arm comes off and I have it in my hand . I slap the zombie in the face with its own arm.

Bang Connor fired the gun and killed the zombie . "Why did you do that? I wasn't done yet . " I whine. "that crossed the line , Enough of this shit. You could have died . Do you know what you mean to me ?!" Connor says with his heart in his hands.
(not literally). "No I don't but I was having fun ."

"Aye" I scream. The arm is moving .I drop it quickly and drag Connor inside . More zombies are coming.

We go through the decontamination and go inside to cook dinner . We eat and go to bed .
