"So that pretty much means we are all goners, I mean most of us probably have taken Nanotech Vaccines, but it being released in the air without anyone's knowledge especially people who don't even read the Papers, I don't remember this crossing the news at all ever" Eric said as he rolled up his blunt from weed he began to grow in the greenhouse the town made. "Where do you find all those blunt raps" Jade asked. "We are in California, go on a supply run anything is easy to find" Eric replied. He put the blunt to his lips and lit the tip taking a few puffs. "And you found this what just on the road" Almon asked. "Yes" Eric answered. Taking a few more puffs, "how are you feeling with everything, with Stephan even" Almon asked. "Working on myself that's all that matters" Eric answered. "I guess it does" Almon said

Meanwhile...
Jason shot a few Sniper shots killing the dead below, an Arrow immediately shot his kneecap as he fell swiftly from the Gates onto the outside. He screeched in pain as he tried to pull the arrow from his kneecap realizing it went threw and stuck halfway out the other side it was impossible to get himself. He looked over and noticed the Dead coming towards him. He quickly used his strength to stand up and limped on his good leg, then began hopping towards a tree. "F***, F***, F***" Jason said as he hopped behind one of the trees and pulled his knife from his knife holster around his hip. He leaned his back on the tree. And turned to look and see where the rotten creature was at, In his face, the Walker snarled as it went to bite down Jason stabbed it. "These Roamers are seriously piss*** me off" Jason said as he pulled his mini revolver from his holster and began loading it. He looked over and seen a message on the gate walls. He noticed a slab with a peice of paper. He walked over towards it and took the peice of paper off and read it "Got You" The paper read. Jason looked up and a Roamer bit the side of his neck ripping the flesh from the side of his throat. Jason blurred vision shoved the walker off him. And slowly slugged his way towards a tree. The Roamer followed behind. Jason shot his mini revolver behind himself missing every shot.

Almon looked up staring at Eric and Noah, "you heard those shots" Almon asked, "yes" Jade answered quickly. "Let's go, could be one of our people" Almon said loading his golden revolver Jason gave back to him up. They all exit the building and ran towards the Gunshots. As they got closer to the gate they heard screaming. Almon quickly opened the gate as fast as he could and they all ran towards the screaming as they got closer it stopped. They moved forward to see the site of Jason's head stabbed threw the eye into a tree with a screw driver. Almon in shock walked closer and saw all the walkers dead and a message Almon read aloud, "The Cleansing has begun" Almon in shock "what is this suppose to mean, what cleansing, they just, what "Almon we need to take Jason's body and go back to town now" Noah said. "I wouldn't do that" a man said wearing a Red jacket, black shirt, black suit pants, and black shoes, the read jacket sparkling a little. Almon, Noah, Eric, and Jade stood there shocked. "Who are you, and what do you want?" Noah asked, "well it's simple, each of you has been infected with Nanotech, and since we don't know exactly what causes this virus-" the man was cut off, "let me stop you right there, we are all infected, so cut the bull, tell us what you really want" Almon said pulling his Revolver out the gold metal shining as the sunset began. "You don't understand, every Human within the outside of our group is not welcome on this earth no more, our plan is to eradicate the virus, and that means everyone who could have potentially taken a vaccine." The man said smiling. "We call ourselves the Purifiers" The man said as footsteps were heard from behind the survivors. They turned around to see 4 other Men dressed in fancy suits coming towards them. Almons eyes widened as he quickly shot towards one of them. Shooting its shoulder they fell to the ground backwards as blood fell from one of there bodies they slowly tried standing back up. "EVERYONE SHOOT AND RUN" Almon yelled as he pulled his revolvers trigger again shooting one in its Head, Jade, Eric, and Noah, shot there guns as distractions as Almon picked up Jason's body. They began running back to town. "I've had enough of this horse shit, first thing tomorrow we start planning on taking each of our enemies one by one, we go to them before they decide its easier to take on us" Almon said as they got to the gates. They ran inside and Eric closed the gates and locked them, he looked outside the gate and seen no one in site. He looked at Almon, "No one is allowed to leave here alone, not without backup" Jade said out of breathe. "I wonder who these guys really are and why they claim there not infected considering it was shot in our air infecting everyone outside." Noah said nervously. "maybe they don't know that, it's best we don't snoop until we figure out who these people are and what they want" Almon said. "Well I'm thinking we push through the forest maybe head back that direction of the White IZC building maybe gather some more Intel from there if there is any, I won't really need anyone and it's probably safer if I go myself but if you want you guys can go, I'd obviously avoid anyone at all costs, including those purifiers or whatever they said" Eric spoke, "if you think you can handle it alone, you know I trust you" Almon said hand on his shoulder. Eric nodded and prepared to go on one last trip towards the white IZC building in search for more answers on the IZC and the purifiers if possible. As he walked towards the gate he began opening up the gate the best he could then had Josh close it back up. Eric holding his Beretta 92FS, he walked through the muggy forest and traveled down the long cement road. An hour in he began to realize it was getting dark and that he should not have gone as late as he did. As time went on he neared the building, the white building eye view distance away he walked closer towards the fence as he got up to the fence he heard something from behind himself. He slowly turned around jumping to the sight of a little girl in front of him. He walked up towards her, he then looked around, contemplating his next moves he slowly thought about everything that has happened the pictures he seen all the conversations and the thought about how this was the exact area both Charlotte and Stephan were killed. Alert he asked, "who are you?" But got no response she stood there, desperation filled her face as Eric walked up to her she backed up "I just want to help, I'm not gonna pick you up or take you, I'm just trying to get closer and have a one on one as figure everything out" Eric said. The sound of footsteps from behind grew faster and closer as he quickly pulled his gun and shot from behind himself. Turning around he seen a man in a white Suit drop to the ground. As he turned the little girl stuck him with a knife in his Stomach dropping him to the ground. White suited men started coming from the forest. Eric looking around as blood leaked onto the Pavement, backed up quickly using the rest of his strength to get himself back on the grass from the road. Gunshots sprang the air as all the suited men began dropping one by one. Coming from the forest shooting everyone is Daetrinn and a Woman wearing a white Suit as well. Daetrinn also wearing a white Suit. As all the men were gunned down Daetrinn walked up to Eric offering him his hand. Eric took it standing up "I figured you were alive when we went back to bury you and you weren't there" Eric said, "but what is this" Eric asked, "I was talked into bettering our world by this wonderful scientist named Samantha Taylor, we met during a meeting between the CAF and the IZC." Daetrinn said. "How so" Eric asked, "because she had these wonderful ideas, explain to me what the IZC has been doing to this little kid and I had enough and took action," Daetrinn said, "Who's running things at the CAF now" Eric asked, "No one they were recruited here" Daetrinn answered. "Makes sense, thank you for saving my life" Eric said breathing heavily as he slowly dropped to the ground knife still in his stomach. Daetrinn and Samantha ran over towards Eric as he slowly went unconscious.
