The Dead Don't Die (Book 5)

Chapter 3: I'm In

I looked at my little brother, as he was old enough to not call him my baby brother any more. As I knew for one thing, that my 16th birthday was just in a couple months. Which meant that he was going to be 7, not all too much longer after all of that.
I knew that at some point fairly soon, he was going to have to start to learn as to just what it was that the real world was like. I hated that it was that I was going to have to be the one to teach him, none the less. As I kind of just dipped my head a little bit low to the ground at the thought of that.
I did in fact just seem to simply stare below me for a little bit longer. As in the end, I just then did in fact just seem to breathe in a rough sigh to my self, all at once. As it was that I then did in fact simply just shake my head all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that as well. I then eventually began to start to hear the voice of my little brother. As he then did in fact just seem to be the first one that decided to speak just now, at that.
As it was that I realized that it was in fact the case of course. I did in fact just seem to blink my eyes a few times, at that. As I then began to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he must say just now, all at the exact same time too.
"Well... I guess this is good bye Ben... Be safe..." He said to me, as I saw that he did in fact just seem to be a little bit hurt just now. As it was that he had in fact said as to just what it was that he had even just said to me of course, all at once.
As I knew that it was, that my brother did in fact love me. And I also knew that he was in fact going to be even more lonely than ever. As well as the fact that it was that I also knew that he was in fact going to be stressed out about me too.
As it was that I did in fact also seem to realize that second part. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to wake my self up to that all of the sudden. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly speak back to him, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that. I then in the end, did in fact just seem to breathe in a rough sigh to my self. As I knew that he was of course listening as to just what it was that I felt like I must say to him just now, at that.
"I love you Liam... Don't worry... I will be just fine..." I said back to him, as it was that I was almost tempted to say that I felt like it was more dangerous for him in here... Than it was rather for me to go out side of the walls, all at the exact same time too.
I stopped my self before I said as such a thing like that, all at once. As it was that I knew that I did in fact not need to stress him out. Nor did I knew to boost up his anxiety more than it already was right now.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have simply stood there and stared for just a little bit more time. I then did in fact just seem to all of the sudden notice that it was. That Liam then did in fact just seem to come right on in and hug me.
I of course did in fact not deny it what so ever. As it was that it felt like it was some thing that I could really use just now, at that. As I then did in fact just seem to let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self all of the sudden.
As it was that Liam did in fact just seem to let go of me, at that. He then also began to start to all of the sudden speak to me of course. As I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that he felt like he must say to me in the very first place any ways.
"I love you to Ben..." He said to me, as it was that I almost seemed to feel a few tears drop from my eyes. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to watch as he then did in fact begin to start to walk near where it was that the other kids were at right now.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to realize that it was the case. And I saw that he was safe and sound, as I watched him go through the door. As I heard a few voices speak to him from the other side, all at the exact same time as well.
That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to turn my head away from there. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to walk to where it was that Shannon's meeting room was at. Which I was fairly certain that she was waiting for me in there just now.
As I was here at the exact time that she had told me to be there for one thing, none the less. As well as the fact that it was that Christian had just come from there too. As I kind of just then did in fact just seem to simply speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe.
"Well here goes what ever this has to be..." I said to my self. As I kind of almost wished that it was that I knew exactly what this was going to be about, at that. As I was almost tempted to ask Christian about it, even though I knew that he would not tell me.
I kind of just simply let out a little bit of a loud grunt at the thought of that. As I then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead. And I continued to open the door to the meeting room, as it was stupid of me to not knock on the door at the very least.
It just didn't seem to come in to my head until it was too late how ever. As it was that I did in fact just seem to see that the room was in fact perfectly lit up just now. As I did in fact just seem to see that Shannon was at the front, as she then turned her head right on over towards me.
As soon as it was that I realized that it was in fact the case, all at once. I then did in fact just seem to start to begin to hear her voice, as she then began to start to spwka to me. As it was that I kind of simply stood there and stared at her, as I then began to listen as to just what it was that she felt like she must say just now.
"Ah... Good to see your face Ben... Are you ready to hear the news?" She said to me, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As it was that she almost seemed to have a little bit of an excited look on her face. Just as soon as it was that she had said what it was that she had said.
I suppose that I could not at all blame her for that being the case. As it was that I knew a little bit as to just what this was about of course. As I then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden go right on ahead, all at the exact same time as well.
And I then did in fact just seem to simply smile right back at her. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to also nod right back on over towards her as well. As shortly after I also had done as such a thing like that.
I also then did in fact just seem to start to speak right back on over towards her too. As I saw that she had her eyes right on to me right now. As it was clear to me that she was listening as to just what it was that I had to say to her, none the less.
"Yep... I am ready to hear what this is about... I'm ready to fight back..." I said, as I was fairly certain that I was right with my assumption. As to just what it was that I had in fact even just thought that this had to be about, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of almost expected Shannon to be a little bit surprised as to just what it was that I had said. Almost as if this was not actually what this was about what so ever. Or perhaps it was the fact that she was surprised that I would know what it had to be about, never the less.
How ever, she just simply continued to smile right back at me, at that. As she then did in fact simply nod right back on over towards me. Before it was that she then did in fact also seem to start to all of the sudden speak right back to me, at that.
As it was that I realized that it was in fact the case, all at once. I simply let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once. As I then began to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she felt like she must even say back to me, all at the exact same time too.
"The people that you met in the mountains quite a while ago... We have spoken to them, and they have other smaller groups just like them, we are all going to meet together and plan some thing to fight back... There are thousands of men, women, and children in those prisons..." She said to me, with quite a bit of a serious look on her face.
I was a little bit surprised for what ever reason or another, as to just what it was that she had said to me. As to the fact that it was that there was even thousands of people still left alive in the world, at that. How ever, I also knew that it was a huge prison that it was that I had in fact been at, as I felt like it did in fact make sense.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for a little bit more time. That was when it was that I then did in fact just seem to wake my self up, at that. As I then did in fact just seem to suddenly start to speak back to Shannon of course.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. That was when it was that in the end, all at once, at that. I knew she was in fact listening as to just what it was that I felt like I must say back to her, all at the exact same time as well.
"So... We are going to meet them? Do you even know where they are at right now?" I asked her, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to breathe in quite a bit to my self. As I then did in fact just seem to start to shake my head, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for a bit more time. I then eventually began to start to see her roll her eyes right back on over towards me. Almost as if it was that she felt like I had in fact asked a stupid question.
Which perhaps it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to start to simply see that she was now speaking back to me. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to blink my eyes a few times at first.
As it was that I had done as such a thing like that of course. I then did in fact start to wake my self up, all at the exact same time as well. As I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that she felt like she must say, all at the exact same time too.
"Yes... I have their exact coordinates on the map... I know exactly where they are at..." She said to me, all at the exact same time as well. As I once again did in fact just seem to see that she had an excited smile on her face. Just as soon as it was that she had told me as to just what she had said.
I felt like I could not at all blame her for that being the case. All at once, as it was that I then did in fact just seem to start to rub my chin. As it was that I was a little bit lost as to just how this was going to work still, all at the exact same time as well.
I felt like it did not matter too much if it was that I was not going to lie to my self either. As I then did in fact just seem to start to simply shake my head quite a bit to my self. As I then in the end, did in fact just seem to stand there and stare for a little bit longer.
As I then did seem to start to suddenly speak back to Shannon as well. As I still saw that she had her eyes locked on to mine just now. As it was clear to me that she was listening as to just what it was that I felt like I must say to her never the less.
"I've seen that place... It is huge and heavily guarded... I'm not sure if a few small groups will be enough to stop them..." I said, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that I did in fact just seem to sit right down in to a chair at that, all at once.
As it was that I felt like some one else would have told her as such a thing like that already. And I was also sure that it was that she also knew that it was the case her self at this point. As it was that she really did in fact not seem to be at all worried as to just what it was that I had in fact said.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared at her for a little bit more time. She then all of the sudden simply once again rolled her eyes like before. As she then did in fact begin to also start to speak back to me as well.
As it was that I seemed to realize that it was in fact the case. I kind of just simply tilted my head a little bit just now, at that. As I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she felt like she must even say just now, all at the exact same time too, at that.
"Don't get too comfortable sitting there... And yes I am well aware... But I need you and many others to go and meet with them..." She said to me, all at the exact same time too. As it was that she still did in fact just seem to have the same smile that she had on her face long before now, at that.
As I was still quite a bit lost about it all, if it was that I was not going to lie to my self either. As I kind of just then did in fact just seem to shiver quite a bit, all at the exact same time too. Almost as if it was that I was a little bit worried as to just what it was that she was about to tell me next.
I simply just seemed to stand there and stare at her for just a little bit more time, all at once. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to simply stand there and stare for a bit more time. As I then did in fact begin to start to all of the sudden speak right back on over towards her.
She did in fact just seem to continue to stand there and stare with the same look that she had before. As it was that I was not all too sure as to just what it was that she might even be thinking just now, never the less. As I knew that at the very least, she was listening as to just what ever it was that I felt like I must say to her just now.
"So... Where exactly is it that we are going then? And isn't it dangerous to be sending out so many people? With the other people out?" I said to her, all at the exact same time too. As I once again did in fact seem to expect that it was that she had not thought about that, and that it was now beginning to start to worry her.
How ever, she seemed to just continue to stand there and stare at me. As she seemed to show the same strong look on her face that she had long before now. As it was that I kind of just then did in fact just seem to close my eyes, all at once.
As it was that I felt like there was a whole lot of stuff that was going on through my head right now. I was still so lost as to just what it was that was going on, never the less. As it was that Shannon eventually then did in fact just seem to simply begin to start to speak back to me.
As it was that I began to start to realize as to the fact that it was in fact the case, all at once. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead. And I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she had to say, once again, at that.
"Well... The best that I can tell you is that you need not be worried... We are going far away from their home... And I am only sending 10 of you... You are one of my most trustworthy Ben..." She said to me, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
As it was clear that she was in fact complimenting me, all at the exact same time too. Which I felt like would normally kind of make me feel a little bit better, at that. If it was not for the fact that it was that I was thinking on quite a bit just now.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to simply just stand there and stare for a little while longer. I then in the end, did in fact just seem to start to breathe in quite a bit of a rough sigh to my self, all at once. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly begin to speak back to her.
As it was that I began to start to do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. I saw that she did in fact just seem to have a calm look on her face at this very moment in time too. As it was clear to me that she was still listening as to just what it was that I felt like I must say to her, all at the exact same time too.
"Well... Where exactly are we going then?" I asked her, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to squint my eyes right on over towards her. Just as soon as it was that I had in fact asked her what it was that I had asked her, none the less.
As it was that I just seemed to simply just stand there and stare for a little while longer. I then in the end, did in fact just seem to simply breathe in a rough sigh to my self. As I then did in fact begin to start to get my mind and my focus off of every thing else, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I seemed to stare at her, she for what ever reason or another, all at once. She did in fact just seem to turn her head away from me, all at the exact same time as well. As she then did in fact just seem to look right on over towards the map of the USA east coast that was on the wall.
For a moment, I almost thought she was about to point to me where we were in fact going. Which I was not all too sure as to just how much that it was that it was really going to help me just now. As it was that either way, I then did in fact begin to start to hear her start to speak back to me.
I was still quite a bit lost as to just what exactly it was that was going on just now, at that. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to simply stand there and stare. As I then did in fact begin to start to all of the sudden listen as to just what exactly she felt like she must say back to me of course.
"Well... I don't really want to tell you all exactly until I know that you are going... You are going to be gone for at least a month or so at the bare minimum... So I need to know if you are in..." She said to me, all at the exact same time too. As I saw that she had her eyes squinted directly at me, as soon as it was that she had said what she had said to me.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have thought on all of that for just a little while longer. I then in the end, did in fact just seem to simply breathe in a little bit to my self, at that. As I then did in fact just seem to just get my mind and my focus off of every thing else that I had been thinking on long before now, at that.
I kind of cringed a little bit at the thought of leaving Liam away for that long, all at once. But I also knew that I wanted to figure out what the plans were of getting my sister back. As it was that I knew that it was that was more important to me and my brother, none the less.
As it was that I just then began to start to realize as to the fact that it was in fact the case. That was when I then did in fact begin to start to all of the sudden speak back to Shannon. As I knew that she was listening as to just what it was that I had to say to her of course.
"Yes... I am in..."
