Viruses II Spread

Zombie?

Danger: Help, a zombie has attacked my wife.

Noah: A zombie?

*Everyone starts running around not knowing what to do?

Noah: Shit, is this really happening, it's not another dream?

Danger: Please, somebody help me!

Noah: Let's see, where exactly is your wife?

Danger: About two blocks from here.... We were walking when she was bitten.

Noah: How do you know it was a zombie?

Danger: Because I've seen a lot of movies and that looked like one.

Noah: Okay, let's go see what your wife...

* At that Noah feels a peck on his neck but he doesn't worry about it.

Danger: Hey buddy, are you okay?

Noah: Yeah, why?

Danger: You suddenly started sweating, and you're a little agitated.

Noah: Don't worry, it's nothing serious...

*Noah starts to stagger and falls down in the street.

Danger: Shit, it's a good thing we didn't walk that far... I'll have to take him to the hospital....

*Two weeks later*

Noah: What happened? Where the hell am I?

Julio: Compadre until you wake up. - he answers him like someone who has been waiting for a long time...

Noah: What? I was asleep?

Julio: Ha! I wish I was asleep, you've been unconscious for two weeks.

Noah: Two weeks? What the hell happened to me?

Julio: I don't know, according to a stranger who was taking you to the hospital you passed out in the middle of the street, you're lucky I was entering the hospital when I saw you, that stranger came asking for help.

Noah: But this is not the hospital?

Julio: No, in the hospital they only had you for two days, after that they took everyone out, because of those zombies that attacked the facilities.

Noah: So where are we?

Julio: Actually in a basement of a house that is three blocks from the hospital, it's the only thing I could get to keep your ass safe.

Noah: Thanks, but what were you doing at the hospital?

Julio: I followed you because you were going to talk to that doctor you liked, but apparently you couldn't. You don't remember anything?

Noah: No, I really don't remember shit.

Julio: Well, at least you woke up, we'll wait for you to recover better and we'll get out of here. We need to go to the house...

Noah: Yeah, I need to pick up a few things.

Julio: Ok, you rest for now, I'll go out for a while and see if I can get something to eat. Do you want something special," he asks, making waiter gestures.

Noah: Anything is fine.

*Julio leaves the basement, and goes to a nearby supermarket.

Julio: At least I'm not alone anymore, I was worried that Noah wouldn't react -I thought- I think it would be good if he recovers quickly, so we have more chances to survive.

Tom: Hey asshole, what are you doing here?

Julio: I'm just looking for something to eat.

Tom: Things don't come easy around here, you have to pay for the resources you need.

Julio: How much do you have for bread and meat?

Tom: For you, it costs a lot, you see I don't know you and I really want to steal from you.

Julio: At least you admit that you want to steal from me, ok let's do something, how about if you charge me the right amount and don't steal a single peso?

Tom: I'd like to, but you look like you can pay anything.

Julio: And you look like a freeloader.

Tom: So what are you going to do, baby?

Julio: You want to know?

Tom: Just tell me.

Julio: Ok, I'll break your face if you don't give me what I want, I'm hungry and stressed and you won't help me.

Tom: You'll break my face? Man, you don't know who you're messing with.

Julio: Do I look like I care?

Tom: No, you look like a faggot.

Julio: Now you'll see - he lunges at Tom and starts hitting him - you'll fucking give me what I want, otherwise you'll never talk again, understood?

Tom: Hey, calm down old man, I was only joking, take whatever you want.

Julio: That's the way I like it when you cooperate, now please, give me everything on this list - he hands him a shopping list he had made while Noah was waking up-.

Tom: Are you going to pay for all this?

Julio: If you charge me the right amount yes, now hurry up, I have things to do.

Tom: As you say," he says while making a gesture of displeasure.

*After doing his shopping Julio returns to the basement where Noah was trying to get up.

Julio: Noah, what do you think you're doing?

Noah: You're not looking, I'm trying to get up.

Julio: You need to rest.

Noah: What I need is to see what's on my neck, it's starting to burn.

Julio: Ok I'll see what's on your neck but then you need to rest.

Noah: Yeah, just watch.

Julio: Let's see," he says as he pulls Noah's shirt down a little to see his neck, "Apparently it's just an itch, you sleep.

Noah: Are you sure?

Julio: If nothing happens, you need to rest, tomorrow we'll see if you can get on your feet.

Noah: Did you get something to eat?

Julio: Yes, here, have some bread.

*Julio gives Noah some bread, while he thinks about what he saw on his neck.

Julio: Shit, that doesn't look very good, it's a bit livid and has some black lines around what looks like a bite, could it be infected? -he thought worriedly.
