SOS/Book 2/The Prison

Chapter 22

Nobody's point of view
"Carl can drive, he's the only one who actually knows how," Isla said, getting into the back of the car.
Once Andy, Fleur, Isla and Carl were all in they decided to head for their location- the army base.

The drive went fine, they just carried on down the main road for about half an hour then took a turn right. They listened to some music, mainly Queen, Abba and Culture club. It was a pretty easy journey.

Finally after about two hours they reached the army base gates.
"Me and Andy will secure the area while you two unload our weapons," Isla told Fleur and Carl who nodded.

Andy and Isla approached the gates and tapped it five times. There were about ten walkers inside that came staggering towards them trying to reach them through the gate.
Each one of the walkers were army men, the ones the Governor must've killed.
One by one the two stabbed them through the fence and they came falling to the ground.

"It's secure," Andy called to Fleur and Carl who handed them their backpacks and weapons.
"I'll let my dad know we reached the destination safely," Carl said taking out his walkie talkie, "This is Carl Grimes does anyone copy?"
Instead of Rick, Maggie answered first.
"I copy, have y'all reached the army base safe?"
"We have, what about your group?"
"Yeah we've reached Hershel's friends house, just about to go in."
"Same, we don't know how long we'll be but we'll keep you updated."
"Okay," Maggie said, "Over and out."

"Let's go in then," Isla said, cutting the fence with bolt cutters. First she climbed through, then Andy, then Fleur, then Carl.
"It stinks here," Fleur said holding her nose,
"It's the rotting flesh just ignore it," Andy said- how smart.

The four made their way across the grass and into the main concrete building. It was really dark so Isla took out her torch and shone it down the hallway.
"If the guns are hidden they won't be on this floor," Carl said, "My guess is they will be underground."
"Yeah it's too obvious if they are above soil." Isla agreed.

They wandered down the corridor until they found a spiralling staircase leading underground.
"Wait," Isla said rushing to a dead army man and snatching the machine gun from its lifeless hands, "Every gun counts right?"
Everyone else nodded and started making their way down the steps.

They had their knifes at the ready incase a walker came out of the shadows but none did.
When they reached the bottom they noticed they were in a very eerie, damp and cold room. The torch pretty much did nothing in the pure pitch blackness.

"Everyone else get their torches out I still can't see a thing," Isla said, and all of a sudden the room was still dark- but visible.
The room looked like a documents room, shelves and shelves filled with draws of files filled the space.
"Well it's definitely not an armoury," Andy said.

Fleurs point of view
I scanned the room but it was no hope, there wasn't one gun in sight. But at either ends of the room there were two huge iron doors, so I decided to at least try one of them.
"Where are you going?" Carl said,
"Just gonna see if there's anything behind one of these doors," I answered with a smile,
"Okay be careful."

I took out my knife with ease and got ready. I tapped the door five times with my knife and heard no growling from inside.
I still wanted to be careful though as I pushed the door open with a squeak.

I shone my torch inside and sighed, it was just an office.
