It's been a little while since the last outbreak of an infection which turned people into undying cannibals, or zombies, to put it bluntly. Luckily, a temporary cure was made for those infected who weren't dead yet. Zombrex. But with how expensive i...
The adult says sternly, noticing the blood on the boy and unsure of what to think. And he had every reason to be. A lone child in the middle of a zombie infested city who was covered in blood? Anyone would be a fool not to be weary.
Boy: M-Mutasim.
Chuck: Where are your parents? And what's with your eyes?
He looks down, not wanting to answer. The boy's silence told Chuck everything he needed to know. He nods solemnly.
Chuck: Well, I'm not about to leave a kid like you around in a place like this. Just stay with me for the time being and I'll get you to a safe house.
With hardly any other options, the boy nods.
Mutasim: Okay. What's your name?
Chuck: Chuck Greene. You know how to handle yourself?
Mutasim: Y-Yeah.
Chuck: Good. Let's go.
The duo leave the area and proceed through the city. Hiding his hands, Mutasim found and wore a pair of gloves and used a butcher's knife that he found stabbed in a zombie's corpse. Along the way to wherever Chuck was going, they killed a few zombies. The more the boy fought the undead, he realised he was somehow a lot stronger than before and he didn't feel so tired as easily.
Soon, they had arrived at a hotel. One that was somehow a lot cleaner than the rest of the city.
Mutasim: What are we looking for?
Chuck: I'm looking for a reporter called Rebecca Chang. I... Was framed as the guy who started this. But it's not true.
Mutasim: Why would someone want to frame you?
Chuck: I don't know and that's why I'm looking for Rebecca. To get some answers.
The duo walk further in the hotel before Chuck sees an ID on the ground. He kneels down and grabs it. Getting a good look at it, Chuck saw it was Rebecca's ID which meant she was here. As to why it was on the floor, he couldn't say. Unknown to him, a zombie approached from behind. Mutasim heard the low growling and turned around, slicing at the zombie's throat such a speed he didn't even realise what he did. The zombie fell on the ground.
But with the zombie out of the way, Mutasim saw a woman holding a gun up. She had long black hair, wore a black skirt and a white shirt showing off her cleavage.
Woman: Well, at least one of you is aware of your surroundings.
She lowers her gun upon realising she was aiming her gun at a child. Chuck turns and recognised the woman.
Woman: Rebecca Chang, Channel 6 Action News.

Chuck hands her back her ID card which she happily takes. However, when he introduced himself, she pulled away from his offer of a handshake.
