Chapter 5: We Learn How To Use Firearms

The door opens to a gun being pointed straight to my forehead..i was terrified. I then heard a deep voice say,"are you bitten?" I replied by saying,"nope..I'm not...Are you? Because you sound pretty infected with that deep as voice." The person started laughing and said,"yo mo! It sounds like your ok." I said,"yea bro but i would be better with a gun not on my forehead." He did a short laugh and put the gun down. Then we noticed the zombies we passed in the stairs coming through the stairwell door. He immediately told us to come inside, i didn't hesitate. We came in and he immediately locked the door and attached the chain lock it. When we turned around we saw so much guns on the table and couches that i just had to ask him,"Graig....are you a terrorist?" He then laughed again and said,"naw...my dad worked for the military and had a little hobby of collecting guns." I said,"a little hobby!!? This place looks like a arsenal room from a video game." There was RPG's on some couches...machine guns on the table and shotguns on the dining room chairs. I then said," yo Graig...what happened to your dad?" He paused...he didn't laugh this time...he said,"he got bit protecting me and then he died committing suicide. I knew it..but i didn't say it...it was too shocking...and then there was this awkward tension on the air. The tension was easily broken when zombies started banging on the door like it was a police break in. E and I grabbed for the closest weapon(E grabbed a machine gun and i grabbed a shotty) and Graig opened the door and unhooked the chains. He pulled the door open and started runing backwards and E started spraying(shooting randomly) like a cleanex bottle. One zombie got through and rushed Graig but i came closer and shot it with my shotty...but i guess the recoil was too strong..i got sent flying to the wall and i passed out like a little baby. I remember waking up to a huge headache and my friends laughing at me. I felt embarrassed but i played it cool...i was like...,"i tripped.." and that made them laugh harder. I asked,"how long was i out?" Graig said,"not long bro..you were out for like 10 minutes." Then he looked at the shotty laid next to me and said,"you need to learn how to shoot bro." I tried to defend myself by saying,"i was just playing around." but i knew...i couldn't shoot for nothing. I knew Graig knew too because he was like..don't worry bro..Ima teach you. So me and E spent about an hour learning about a guns recoil and the correct way to hold it so that the recoil wouldn't affect us as much. After we were done we spent a couple minutes learning how to reload our weapons. We then ate food his crib and then i told him we had to go. He said alright bro. I asked,"are you going to stay here?" He said,"i don't know man..." I asked,"if you're not home and we need weapons...do i have your permission to take some?" He said,"yea bro." And then he have me a spare key. Me and E proceeded to head for the stairwell but this time..we were prepared. We had guns..ammunition in a transport book bag and bats in our hand. We ran down the stairs swinging or bats in any zombie in our way..it wasn't that hard because there wasn't that much zombies and most of them had there backs toward us. We made it down quicker then it took us to come up and when we made it down..we wished we had stayed up. It made since why there was barely zombies on the stairs...they were mostly in the parking lot. We didn't panic though..because they were mostly spread out and then we saw it. Our way home...we saw 3 bikes against the side of the building but the only problem was there were the 4 zombies around and one was messing with one of the bikes..me and E waited for an opening and ran towards them..he pushed the first one towards me and i swung my bat across its face. Then i ran towards the second one and it started running towards me..it was limp running so i slid towards the foot that was helping it run and it fell straight to the ground and then E slammed the bat across its head as it laid flat to the ground..i ran towards the third one but it leaped towards me..making me fall to the ground. It grabbed my arms and attempted to bite my neck. I pushed against its arms just in time to make it change its direction. Then i punched his arm in..forcing him to lean towards the bent arm and then i grabbed the bent arm and pulled it against my body..then i spun. After that i was on top of the zombie..then i punched it...over and over until it let go of me. My fists was covered in blood. I got up and had the strangest desire to look back..so i did..the last zombie was already running towards me...it lunged towards me and just before it was going to grab me...someone came out of no where to tackled it to the ground. He rolled of it and E smashed it with his bat. The person said,"yo mo!!! I saved yo f*cking life!!!" And i knew automatically who it was, it was my homeboy Adlay. I took out my shirt and cleaned my fist with it and said,"thanks bro. You wanna go to my crib with me and E?" He said,"yea bro..it's not like i am going to get in trouble or anything." E asked," we going to your crib?" I answered," yea...it's the closest house from here." I threw my bloody shirt on the ground and we took the bikes and headed to my crib.
