The Hiding ( VALGRACE )

-LEO/JASON-

TW : SEXUAL ASSAULT

Leo's POV

I'd gotten home from a long day of making weapons at the shop for the military. I mean, ten dozens of knives that cut limbs off like butter have got to take effort right?

I was making tomato soup for dinner with garlic bread on the side. I just finished making the batter for the bread when there was frantic knocking on the door. I quickly went to open it since I still hadn't made Jason a spare key yet and the people with bite marks really got me worried

I opened the door 

Jason's POV-

''See ya on Monday Jase,'' Frank clapped me on my back

I smiled ''How's it going with Hazel? Are you going to propose?'' I wiggled my eyebrows at the last one

Frank rubbed the back of his neck ''Uh no not yet, with the weird stuff going on around here-''

''I get it man, I hope you two end up together with ten babies soon'' I said packing up my stuff

''Ten bab-'' I cut off Frank again by waving at him and going out the door 

''JASON!'' I saw my co worker Tyler running towards me with files in her arms ''We got it! W-we know what's happening and all these missing people and the bite marks. They're zombies!'' She said at the end panting

I looked at her for some time before realizing that she was serious ''Erm. . . Tyler, I'm sorry to break it to you but zombies don't fucking exist. What horror films have you been watching again?'' I asked knowing her love for Horror movies

''It's not a joke Jason, here take these files they all prove it!'' She shoved them into my hands

I spread the files over the coffee table to look through them. In all the tests they were confirming that all the substances in the blood of these people were matching with those of horror films, stereotypes, everything ''What the fuck. . .'' I muttered ''This has to be a dream''

Tyler rolled her eyes ''That's what they all say''

I looked at her puzzled ''But what's causing this? Isn't there some sort of cure?''

Tyler shook her head ''It's a cancer situation Jase, no known cure no one in the movies bothered to figure out one neither did the scientists. They're so into the meaning of fiction that they never bothered to figure it out just in case.''

''But. . .'' I trailed of ''How will we get rid of them?''

Tyler gave a sad smile ''What do they do in the movies? They kill the zombies''

My jaw dropped ''You mean we're supposed to kill people who've been turned into cannibalistic monsters? Are you fucking crazy? We'll have to go into hiding in the woods and-''

''There's something else too Jason'' Tyler said biting her lip ''The. . .the government is closing down the public institutions. . . It's not safe for anyone to-''

''So that's it? We're all running off somewhere? We are police Tyler, our job is to protect people what about the army?''

''They. . .they're going into hiding too. . .'' She said miserably

''WHAT THE FUCK? What sort of country is this? Coward-opia? No one's looking for a cure?'' I said frustrated

Tyler shook her head ''I'm sorry Jason, I know it's messed up. They're sending everyone an email tonight about it. The government is donating camper vans to everyone though, to go into hiding-''
