Finding love again

TS-19 part 1

Callie's POV:

  "Let's go!" I yell running to our car with Emma in my arms. I shoot one of those things on the way. I look back for a sec seeing Frank and Curtis running after us with a duffel bag each.

We made it to the car in a record of time and got in. Frank turned on the car and peeled out of here. We came to get Curtis, with all of this happening we figured we're safety in numbers. I buckle Emma in her car seat. Now we're on our way to get Shane.

    All of sudden Frank hit the breaks hard. I look out the window and my eyes widen. A massive group of those things are blocking our way. There's no way we can get through.

   Frank and I made eye contact in the mirror before he sighs heavily and turns down another street. I already know we're heading to our warehouse that's on the outskirts of the city.

   Tears full my eyes as I think of my other brother out there alone. "Momma cry?" I hear Emma say and look at her. I wipe my eyes quickly and send her a small smile. "I'm okay, baby," I kiss her head and she holds onto my hand.

   The bright light dimmed as we all stare in the building in shock. "Daryl, you cover the back," Shane tells him. We walk in slowly with our guards up. "Hello? Hello?" Rick calls out loudly, looking around.

Gun cocking made everybody aim their guns at a man with an automatic. "Anybody infected?" He asks us. "One of our group was. He didn't make it," Rick tells him sadly.

   "Why are you here? What do you want?" He asks looking at each of us. "A chance," Rick says. "That's asking an awful lot these days," he says making Rick nod. The man looks at all of us stopping on Emma for a second longer making my brothers block her.

    "You all submit to a blood test. That's the price of admission," he states. I wince, Emma's not gonna like that. The man sighs and puts down his gun making all of us relax.

   "You got stuff to bring in. You do it now. Once this door closes, it stays closed," he tells us moving to the door. The guys ran out quickly to get the rest of our bags. Once they came back they closed the doors and the man spoke into a lock pad.

...........

  I stayed close to my brothers in the elevator. God it's so cramped in here. "Doctors always go around packing heat like that?" Daryl asks from the back. Dr. Jenner looks back.

   "There were plenty left lying around. I familiarized myself. But you look harmless enough. Except you," he looks at Carl, "I'll have to keep my eye on you," he chuckles making Carl smile at him.

   The elevator stops and we follow the doctor down a hallway. "Are we underground?" I hear Carol ask the doctor. This is nothing compared to what Frank and I went through.

    "VI, bring up the lights in the big room." I look around at all the computer stations wondering why they are all empty. "Welcome to zone 5," Dr. Jenner tells us walking forward next to the computers.

    "Where is everybody? The other doctors, the staff?" Rick asks walking closer to him. I follow standing next to my brothers waiting for the doctors reply. "I'm it. It's just me here," I stare at him in disbelief.

    Surely there has to be more people. "What about the person you were speaking with? VI?" Lori asked him. I take Emma out of the baby harness since I don't see any danger here plus Emma was getting restless in it.

    I hand her over to Frank so I can take off the harness then put it in our bag. I grab Emma back gently holding onto her. "Hello, guests. Welcome," a computer voice tells us. "I'm all that's left," I sigh, great we risked a lot for one fucking man, "I'm sorry."
