A World In Chaos

Chapter Nineteen: Where I've been

YEAR ONE: Eight Months In

Eli remained hidden behind the steel chemical barrel even tho it was clearly empty so didn't offer much protection from bullets it also meant no explosion if it were to be struck by a bullet from one of the military assholes hunting him down, angry at him for abandoning his post due to not wanting to harm what was left of the human population, even with the infected roaming about and the buildings crumbling down around them Commander Frazer seemed to give a fuck less as long as Eli's guts were strown about the wasteland and since there was no longer law that's exactly what Frazer had planned for him and anyone caught aiding him.

"You let your country down Walkman, you denied commanding your chain, you abandoned your post, you abandoned the U.S of fucking A and the United States government isn't about to let that slide, global doom or not... law is law... your word is your word and you swore you'd protect this great nation no matter the cost... you failed... come out now and I'll kill you fast, we won't even drag this thing out in that bullshit they claim is still court... there is no court anymore... however... your word and your word and I swore I'd do my job and bring you in... dead or alive... come on now stop making this harder I'm tired of hunting you the fuck down...." Frazer said as he peaked over crates and around barrels in the now abandoned and half destroyed chemical factory.

Groans from the dead started to fill the air as deadheads approached the building, they had been at it for hours and all the noise began to draw attention, " we're bringing em all down on us Walkman... soon we'll both be dead... now's your chance to save us both kid... come out now... That's a fucking order son... don't make me hunt down your fucking brother" Frazer continued as he grew ever so worried about the approaching enemies.

Eli slid over to another group of barrels and ducked down as low possible just in the nick of time for a runner to sprint by and stop damn near in front of him, he could smell the death and shit on this creature as it looked around extensively, apparently it didn't see Frazer or rather the man had left just when the deadheads reached them, it stood there for a while before running off again as walking deadheads came through the big hole that had been blown into the side of the structure and went back out through the door.

After nearly two hours Eli stood up and dusted himself off, checking his surroundings he saw no one so grabbing his belongings he left through the hole and made his way into a nearby house, once inside he checked every room and nothing that it was clear, took a nap in the bathtub.

"Rise and shine boy" Frazer said as Eli awoke to him and four other men surrounding the tub in the tiny restroom, "don't fight this boy, I have no problem fucking you up good before we get to our superiors, on your feet maggot" he shouted as two men punched Eli and pulled him to a standing position, "WHEN I SAY DEADMAN YOU SAY WALKING" Frazer cackled as he pulled out a baton and cracked Eli in the ear with it causing blood and ear juice to spill from the canal.

"Can ya hear me now" Frazer joked as his militia forcibly laughed, "Salute me boy" Frazer snapped as he whipped Eli across the other ear causing him to yell in pain this time, Eli's ears rung as he slowly lost his balance and fell to the ground "know what boys I think we ought to fuck him up now and save our selves the trouble" he said as they began to stomp the living shit out of Eli.

"TAKE IT FOR YOUR COUNTRY BOY" one of the troops shouted as he kicked Eli in the ribcage, Eli coughed and weezed as Frazer laughed like a psychopath before taking the baton and cracking him in the back again causing Eli's fingers to go numb, "Let's fuck him with they baton... for our country of course" the commander cackled as he spit in the tip of the blunt weapon.

Just as all hope had seemed lost Eli remembered a flash bang he had found on a dead troops fatigues and in the midst of getting his shit rocked, he pulled it out and dropped it to the floor with a BANG! Everyone in the room was blinded including himself but he reached out and felt a gun on someone's belt, pulling it from them Eli shot wildly as he pushed his way through the group and managed to make it outside in a hasteful run he was gone.
