*Readers pov*
I drop down, the middle of the night.
I am behind a car while holding my butterfly knife.
I hear a mans voice, a womans voice and a soilders voice sorting some stuff out.
Wheres the package? Are these the 2 Marlenes friends getting thrown about by a solider?
They all begin fighting.
Should I help? Ah, fuck it.
I jump out of cover and cut the throat of another solider so he dosen't scream. The body drops to the ground with a thudd which reveals me to the 2.
I crack my knuckles.
The man speaks.
???: Who are you?
You: You're Marlenes friends?
The woman speaks.
???: "Friends"? Fuck her!
???: Whats it to you? What do you want?
You: I was sent here by Marlene to deliver a package with her 2 companions. Is it you?
Is it a trap?
???: Joel! It's the guy!
Wait...Joel?
Joel: He's a kid! Christ sake, Marlene...
You: Joel? It's me.
I take my mask off and put it back on quickly.
The woman is Tess, I haven't seen these 2 for so long.
Tess: Firefly Hunter...What a coincidence...
You: We're all outside Querantine Zone. Watch out for infected.
Tess: We have loads to talk about.
You: Whats the package and where do we take it?
Joel: Pretty far out. And your "package" is-
Theres a beep.
We all look towards it.
It's a girl my age holding out a device. A infected tester.
Was she there the whole time?
Tess: Yeah, she was there the whole time.
Tess takes the device.
Tess: Oh, Shit.
She chucks it to Joel and he catches it as he looks at it.
Joel: Jesus Christ...Cutter, look at this.
He throws me it and I catch it.
Theres a flashing screen with the words "Infected" popping in green.
Is Tess or Joel infected? Oh, shit...
You:...Which one of you is infected?
Tess: The girl.
I look at her.
You: And? We are here to deliver a package, not babysit. So...
My deep voice is rough due to my mask.
I take out my pistol and point it at her without looking.
Joel:...Cutter!
I look at him.
Joel: She IS the package!
???: I'm not just some fucking package! Stop pointing a gun at me, asshole!
She shouts at me clearly upset.
You: You're infected. She's the package...We're smuggling a infected package.
Joel reaches to Tess.
Joel: Marlene set us up? Why the hell are we smuggling a infected girl.
???: I'm not infected.
Joel: No? So this is lying?
He throws the device on the floor next to her as she continues to lay down on the floor while resting on a cargo box.
???: I can explain.
Tess: Explain fast.
Tess has her gun out like I do.
???: Look at this!
She reveals her arm with a bite on it.
Joel: I don't care how you got infected.
He turns around in disappointment and frustration.
???: This is 3 weeks old.
Tess: No. Everyone turns within 2 days.
You:...I mean not really.
Joel: What?
I roll up my sleeve and show a huge part of my arm thats damaged.
You: Got bitten and cut the whole chunk off. She could be similar.
I put my sleeve back.
Tess: Well, she has a clear bite mark so she didn't cut it out.
You: Fair. Shoot her.
???: Why would she set you up?!
Theres quiet as the girl looks for reactions.
Joel: I ain't buying it.
Theres quiet again.
We hear a car driving up.
Joel: Fuck...Tess, run! Come, Cutter!
You: No, I'll meet you at the bridge! Take the girl.
Joel: Fine. See you there.
I run off.
