Ow my head I say as I attempt to lean up.
What happened and where am I?
I say as I realized I was in the back of a truck.

Found you lying on the ground with walkers all around you and someone running of with your gear

How'd you know it was my gear? I ask

Because it's me Jonah, besides you else has a sword inscribed with the name kindness and two black-n-red pistols

Thanks for coming when you did. Otherwise I'd be dead, well sorta. I chime in with a smile on my face, immediately regretting that as my head starts to throb with pain.

How long have I been out? I attempted to spit out

About two and a half days. He replies

As I turn to my left to look out my window To see us passing a group of walkers feasting on a dead body

Turning back to look inside the truck I realized it was just us.

Where's the girlfriend I ask, only to have him look at me and by look in his eyes I could tell that it wasn't good.

I'm sorry man I didn't know.

It's not your fault, it happened before I got there. There was nothing I could've done to stop what had happened. He replied with a depressed tone in his voice

I know what it's like to watch someone die. I know that feeling all to well.

Sitting back into my seat I close my eyes.
Wake me in twenty I'll drive I reply before drifting off to sleep

I came here to save people not to just sit around all day in the scorching sun doing nothing. It had been two months since I was deployed

Take cover, mortar. I hear my commanding officer yell as explosions are happening all around us.
Quickly ducking out of my cover I take some shots. Then look up as a mortar is falling right on us.

It all happened so fast yet so slowly. As I lay unconscious everyone in my squad is burning alive or died instantly in the explosion.
When I open my eyes everyone is dead. Chard bodies scatter the ground, then suddenly I feel a massive pain in my chest and look down only to see a piece of metal sticking out of my chest.
The second I look at it I pass out

Nick wake up. Jonah yell to me as he jumps out of the truck.

Without taking a second thought I grap my guns and sword and jump out of the truck only to have guns pointed at jonah's and my face.
