Planet Undead (Book 2)

Three - Radio Silence

The cannibal runs to a campsite where Dante is tailing the cannibal. Margo sobs as she realizes Emmett committed suicide and he left a suicide note for the group. Margo screams for everyone to come to the bathroom except for BJ and Kimberly and everyone comes. Everyone is in shock as Cameron picks up the note and he starts reading Emmett's suicide note out loud.
"Dear survivor group. Don't be mad that I left my daughter in this cruel world, be mad that this cruel world caused me to do this. You know, it's crazy how much the world has gone down the shitter but still, we managed. The sad thing is that I sadly can't manage this time. Please give Kimberly a mother and a father and make sure they're the bestest of parents to Kimberly."
Margo sobs as she looks at Cameron. Finn cries as he takes off his jacket and covers Emmett's body with it. Dante leaves the bathroom in tears as BJ walks in. BJ screams as he sees Emmett's body and Kimberly can't hear the scream. Finn tells BJ what happened and BJ cries as he holds his dad Anton's leg. Anton whispers to Anna to go to the other bathroom to put on the makeup. Anna goes to the girls bathroom and quickly puts on makeup that covers the purple and black bruises on her thigh, right arm, and leg. Anna looks in the mirror and cries as she realizes she can't get away from her abuser. Anna takes off her backpack as she takes out a pencil sharpener. Anna rolls up her sleeve as she disassembles the pencil sharpener and takes out the blade. Anna puts the blade on her stomach as she cuts herself and blood starts to drip down. Anna cries as she plans on cutting even deeper but then, she remembers that she would leave BJ with her abuser. Anna stops herself from cutting deeper and Anna prays to Jesus that he'll give her the strength to do something about her situation. Anna gets an bandaid out of her backpack and puts it on the cut as Anna walks out the bathroom and puts on a fake smile. The cannibal makes it to a crowded campsite as Dante hides behind a tree to hear what they're saying. The cannibal says "Dinner served!" and the rest of the cannibal group start to chow down on Lorenzo's remains. Dante turns on the radio so the group can hear what happens and the radio suddenly coming on attracts the group out the bathroom. The group in the gas station run to the radio and hears Dante. Dante whispers to the radio that he sees the cannibals eating Lorenzo but Dante suddenly stops speaking and the group at the gas station hears a thud and then someone falling to the ground. Tiffany wonders what just happened and starts screaming through the radio. Turns out, Dante got caught by the cannibal group and got knocked out. One of the cannibal walk up to the radio and say "The Brotherhood is the new start." and the cannibal stomps on the radio, breaking it. The gas station group hears radio silence and they panic as Dante is getting dragged to the Brotherhood's campfire. Dante wakes up and starts screaming as the Brotherhood eats Dante alive. Finn panics as he hears radio silence and he frantically tells the group to track the previous radio signal. Anton tells the group that Dante's dead but Tiffany tells Anton to shut the fuck up. Anton raises his fist at Tiffany but Tiffany's not scared. Anna screams to tell Anton to stop and tries to stop him from getting closer to Tiffany but Anton shoves Anna and she falls and hurts her spine. Anton tries to punch Anna but Cameron holds him back. Anton lashes at Cameron and Anton punches him in the face. Cameron falls to the ground as Anton pummels him in the face. BJ sees his father beating Cameron to the point where Cameron is bleeding out of his mouth and BJ grabs a baseball bat and knocks out his dad Anton. Anton falls to the ground as Kimberly sees Cameron on the ground bleeding and Cameron signs to Kimberly "I love you."
