TWD - Catch Me If You Can (Reincarnated) The Walking Dead

Serve and Protect

Chapter 3 Serve and Protect

I walk into the police station and the noise of people in panic is surprising, police officers running from one side to another, women crying, and people trying to use their phones in vain. They even released the prisoners from the cells. The noises from the radio also give a sinister touch to the whole situation.

"Unit 47 we found ourselves surrounded inside my patrol, there are dozens of those things and they bit my partner, we need help please." The noises of a broken window are heard along with some gunshots and screams.

"Unit 78 we saw some soldiers shooting civilians outside the hospital and then leaving. There are many of those things hanging around the streets, we are taking shelter in a church with more people."

"Hello? Does anyone hear me? Things are bad in the refugee camp in the center of the city, there are too many people and the military can't keep up, more of these things keep coming and many of the people here are injured or bitten. If anyone listens to me, don't come to the refugee camp. Is not safe." More sounds of gunfire are heard over the radio.

I turn away from the radio as I continue walking, some people stare at me, specifically because of my bloody shirt, however, they don't seem to care too much since they're still doing what they're supposed to do.

This police station is the largest in the city, it has about 10 floors, between the basement and the upper floors of administrative work. The shots outside don't stop and I doubt they will stop.

A woman in a police uniform walks up to me, looking me up and down. "Hello child, where are your parents?" She asks me as she crouches in front of me.

"I'm lonely, I don't know where my mom is and my dad is in Japan, I guess." I say in a low voice, making myself sound cute. Let's play with it a bit. I can see the conflicted face she gets from her before showing a smile and taking out a chocolate from her pocket.

"You know, I need help finishing this last chocolate, would you help me?" She says handing me the chocolate, which I take quickly and start eating it. What doesn't kill me will make me stronger and I'm a bit of a chocolate addict.

"Thanks for the chocolate, I'm Justin Smith in about 2 weeks I'll be 12 years old and I'm addicted to chocolate." I say with a smile as my mouth is full of chocolate. "What's your name miss?" I asked tilting my head slightly.

"My name is Emily, you will be safe here little Justin. Do you see all those officers running around?" I nod my head. "Those officers will protect us from the bad things outside and if that's not enough, I'll protect both of us, okay?" It seems that Emily's maternal instincts were activated, it could well be useful to me let's continue the game.

"I'll protect you too Emily." I say puffing out my chest with pride as my lips start to tremble and I hug Emily burying my face in her breasts with occasional hiccups as she just hugs me and tells me everything will be alright. Hidden from everyone I keep a smile on my face.

"Come on I'll take you to my office, it's not very comfortable but it's better than using the cell beds." She leads me up the elevator to the 7th floor where Emily's office is, we walk a bit when she opens a door and we enter her office, shortly after she throws me a pillow and points to a small couch. "You can rest if you want, you must be tired."

I look at the decoration of the office and on the desk, there is an image that catches my attention, in a portrait Emily appears together with a familiar man. "Emily, who is the person with you in that photo?" At my question, Emily smiles." He is my boyfriend, he is also a police officer, his unit was sent to dispel some disturbances near the Walmart but so far no one from his unit has returned, I guess they are taking shelter. " Emily says a little worried. "When he comes back I'll introduce him to you. His name is Rudy."
