"Hey!" Bernadette waves her hand and runs over to Annalise along with Jesse as soon as they see her.
"So how's your family?" Bernadette asks.
Annalise sniffles and wipes her nose.
"My uh..my mums dead and it turns out my dad was one of the scientists who used to work on the blood bomb thing" Annalise says quickly.
"Wait wait wait, blood bomb thing?" Jesse asks in a slightly angry and weirded out tone.
"Well yeah it turns out that we aren't all dead because we all have the blood type B-negative..I got the blood type from my dad, that's why he's not dead either" Annalise explains. Bernadette furrows her eyebrows and Jesse follows suit.
"Uhm what?" Jesse shouts as Bernadette shakes her head.
"Your dad, helped create a bomb to murder everyone apart from his own blood type? Why?" Bernadette asks.
"Because the government and their special services Army or the S.S.A, asked him to. It's for population control and to make stronger soldiers, he said something about whoever doesn't die will become stronger in some way.." Annalise rubs her head to in fish her blurry memory.
"It's all very crazy and hard to remember" she adds. Bernadette sighs heavy and Jesse shakes her head and then rolls her eyes.
"Y'know I knew, I knew that you..and your family where all a bunch of crazy, psycho, weird, stupid, animalistic freaks!" Jesse snaps in Annalise's face.
"Hey!" Bernadette pulls Jesse back by the back of her shirt.
"Annalise didn't know...go easy on her will ya?" Bernadette tries to reason with Jesse. Jesse groans and storms off.
"I'll survive by myself!" She shouts as she runs away.
"Jesse-" Bernadette groans. "Wait!"
Jesse doesn't wait, she runs away faster.
"Damn it..."
Annalise sighs.
"Hey Im really sorry I genuinely had no idea he would do something like that I mean I never really knew much about his job and stuff but I didn't think his old job was to build something to kill everyone and make a bunch of special soldiers and I just feel like-"
Bernadette grabs Annalise's shoulders.
"Chill girl. It's not your fault your dad is whatever the hell Jesse said ok? That ain't on you" Bernadette says and smiles softly. Annalise nods with a similar smile.
"Yea, yea I know" Annalise sighs and Bernadette let's go of her.

Bernadette and Annalise end up walking away by themselves, it's still pretty light outside and the sun is flashing through the trees on the side of the road.
"Sweet Mary Jesus!" Bernadette says as she walks past all the bodies on the bridge her and Annalise are walking over.
"My god..." Annalise adds.
Bernadette sees something on the other side of the bridge and bolts over.
"Hey bunny come look at this!" She yells.
Annalise shakes her head at the nickname and runs over.
"What is it Bernadette?" She asks.
Bernadette leans against the front of a big car with 2 seats in the front and an open storage bit in the back. The car is a bit dirty around the wheels and it's a dark blue colour.
"Well damn" Bernadette laughs and climbs in.
"Hop in bunny" Bernadette laughs. Annalise climbs in the car.
"Isn't this stealing?" She whispers.
"Girl basically the whole damn state is dead, no one's claiming this thing and it'll be a good way to get-" Bernadette stops talking.
"Bernadette what is it?" Annalise asks. Bernadette points out the window of the car at a man standing in the middle of the bridge.
"But..wasn't he dead 10 seconds ago?" Annalise asks in a panicked voice, Bernadette nods immediately.
"Drive drive drive!!" Annalise says, hitting the car.
"There's no keys!" Bernadette says, scrambling.
The man starts walking towards them.
"Shit shit shit" Bernadette says softly and quickly.
"Annalise's mouth is slightly agape and she's breathing heavily out of fear. Bernadette looks on the floor of the car and sees the keys. She grabs them up and starts the car. The man starts running now. Without hesitation, Bernadette drives straight over the man and this black and red goo splatters all over the front of the car and a tiny bit on the front window.
"So there's zombies now?!" Annalise questions.
Bernadette clicks her tongue.
"Guess your daddy dearest didn't get his formula exactly right. He didn't give our blood type strength or super powers...he made the others into zombies"
