Romance In The Apocalypse

Episode 10: Dion's first Search and Rescue Mission

Dion's perspective

After weeks of doing pointless missions in and around the settlement, Dion finally joins Soldier Gobshite and his crew to go and look for more survivors and bring them to the settlement

Soldier Gobshite: "So Dion, what does your wife look like?"

Dion: "Why?"

Soldier Gobshite: "Well, if I'm going to help you look for her, I have to know what she looks like. Do you have a picture of her?"

Dion: "Unfortunately no, everything was destroyed at our house."

Soldier Gobshite: "Ok, describe her."

Dion: "Well, she has very short, but beautiful red hair, which she describes as edgy, but I really think she looks amazing. She has blue eyes, and she wears glasses, but more than likely she'll have them put away for survival."

Soldier Gobshite: "I see. Does she wear anything on her hands?"

Dion: "Just her wedding ring and a ring that her brother gave her a long time ago, but I don't know if she would leave them on."

Soldier Gobshite: "Ok. Anything else?"

Dion: "She'll more than likely carry her Katana, a small hand gun with a silencer on it, and her switchblade. I think that's all of it."

Soldier Gobshite: "Wow, I can imagine she'd even surpass you if we find her and she becomes a soldier."

Dion: "Not likely. She's not too excited about taking orders from someone else. She's very independent like that."

Soldier Gobshite: "I would say she's stubborn."

Dion: "The Irish Mafia would agree with you. Before the outbreak, they kept trying to recruit her ever since she became top of her class when she took katana classes."

A few hours later, they find a large hunting camp and found a few survivors hiding in the bedrooms

The soldiers except for Dion ransack the camp and take all the weapons, food, and anything else useful in the apocalypse and then radio the bus for the survivors

Soldier Gobshite: "Dion, why did you just stand there instead of helping us?"

Dion: "This is what the other soldiers did to our house over on Valentia Island."

Soldier Gobshite: "Sorry Dion, but this was the order for search and rescue missions."

Dion: "Why? Why do you have to ransack the whole place and take everything?"

Soldier Gobshite: "To avoid people threatening us and the soldiers of the other settlements."

Dion: "Alright I guess. Did you see any of the survivors?"

Soldier Gobshite: "Yes, but unfortunately, none of them fit her description. I'll have to be honest with you, finding her would basically be a shot in the dark, I just don't know 100% that we'll find your wife."

Dion: "We've gotten separated before. We'll find her. We have to."

Soldier Gobshite: *sigh* "Alright, well why don't you question the survivors and see if they've seen her."

Dion heads over to the cabin and sees an old man who looks like Rowan and he looks at him

Old man: "Dion!?"

Dion: "Do we know each other?"

Old man: "It's Stan, Rowan's biological father."

Dion:*thought* Dang it, why me?

Dion: "Hello, its been a while."

Stan: "How's my daughter doing? Or is she dead as well?"

Dion: "...She's doing ok actually. She didn't want to be a soldier like me so she was assigned to training new recruits since her sword skills are very high."

Stan: "I see. Well, its good to see that you're still taking care of her."

Commander: "Alright troops, let's get back to the settlement."

The survivors get on the bus and it starts heading to Settlement Meltdown
