Really Harry?

It's still pouring rain, unfortunately.
Ryder and I haven't removed our hands from our embrace ever sine we started, about 2 hours ago.

I have my other arm around Harry to keep him upright. It gets darker and has a tinge of green. Not a good sign.

From what I've heard a green sky is the sign of a tornado. Then it's followed by hail then heavy winds.
Speak of the devil. I jinxed it. It's starts to hail.

We take cover a nearby tree, there aren't any buildings around but there are multiple cars scattering the street. Just then in front of us zombies are starting to appear one after another. Great another crowd. I sigh.

"Ok guys we are going to have to hide under these cars and wait until they pass." I explain throughly. "Ok I'll help Harry, Ryder go hide." I say with a sigh.

Harry and I wobble over to a car and I help him under. After that I find a car. I go under slowly and find a dagger. It starts to pour even harder, but with hail this time. At least we are covered.

I begin to hear the shuffling of the undead creeps and I keep quite. I see Harry look over at me scared and unknowing what to do. I raise my finger about my mouth. He nods and looks forward.

After about 10 minuets they lessen but I know there are still some left. Harry moves to the side and pops his head out to check if they are still there. Big mistake. He panics and comes out. A zombie is right behind him. I curse. I grab the dagger and walk slowly behind the zombies following Harry.

Harry isn't making any noise but he's limping as fast as he can the opposing way. I grab the back of one of the zombies torn clothing and pull it close. I stab it's head and I let it down slowly not making much noise. I jog but still remaining quiet. I grab the next one and kill it.

Harry is still limping away. I run up behind him and grab his shirt. I pull him down under a car close by. We both sit under there for awhile until the rest of them pass.

It seems like forever but Ryder looks under the car we are under and says they have passed. Ryder helps me up and I help Harry.

We are almost there just a few more miles so by foot maybe a half an hour at least. We go ba c k to our normal position, Ryder holding my hand and my arm supporting Harry.

Harry starts to slow down a bit. He stops and I look over at him. He's very pale. He drops to the ground. "OH NO!" I scream. I grasp for him and shake him. "He might be dehydrated or hasn't eaten." Ryder says. "Probably" I reply. "Ok big boy, let's do this" I prop Harry up over my shoulders.

Harry's butt is in my face but that will have to do because I don't want to drop him. I sigh and we keep going.
"Hey, we should sing a song ya know, to be happy." I suggest nudging Ryder's shoulder. He looks over at me and smiles. " And I would walk 5 hundred miles just to be the man.." He begins. I giggle and we sing together playfully so we are off tune.

We manage to have fun when we walk up to CDC. There is a huge armored fence surrounding the buliding. We walk up to the huge door blocking the inside. I look over at Ryder and furrow my eyebrow. He shrugs. I knock on the door not knowing what else to do.

A person with gas masks appears above the door." ARE YOU INFECTED" He shouts below to us. "NO!" We shout back. He leaves and I look at Ryder confused. Again he shrugs. The door opens and the guy gestures us in. We pass a long corridor and enter a decontamination room with a bio hazard sign above the entrence.

I set Harry down along a wall and 2 people walk in. They have this weird wand thing and they walk up to us and scan us. "CLEAR" One clarifies.
One goes over to Harry and checks him. "CLEAR" another one says.

I go over and pick Harry up again and throw him over my shoulders. The guy who brought us in takes us to a small room with three cots. He points to them and leaves. We follow directions with out an questions and I lay Harry on a cot. I sigh and sit on another cot.

"I'm gonna take a nap sweetie, wake me up in a little bit." Ryder says as he takes off his shirt and lays down. "Will do".

After a bit I sit on my cot a lay up against the wall. I look at Harry and focus on his stomach. He's not breathing. I panic and run over to him. "RYDER!" I scream alarming him and causing him to jump. "HE'S NOT BREATHING." I wheeze. I'm above him and I'm so lost. "Uhhh.." I don't know what to do.

Oh wait. I can give him oxygen. I open his mouth and blow into his mouth. Nothing happens but I keep going.
He growls and I fall back but Ryder catches me. He has turned but then he blacks out again.

I breath heavily. "What happened" I say slowly. "I don't know" He says with a speechless look. We slump to the ground as he still holds me. We just sit there not doing anything.

I look at Harry's curly hair and just stare. I start to tear up. "He was supposed to be my brother..." I sob. Ryder hold me close and rubs his finger along my cheek.

Then I hear cough and jerk my head to Harry. He's coughing and holding his stomach. I jump up and smile. "Harry!" I choke out still crying. He wheezes for air and he then he starts to slow down. I run and hug him knocking him over. Ryder comes over and hugs both of us. "Thank you god" I say thankfully.

Eventually we let go and Harry just sits there trying to figure out what just happened. Just then a suspicious man walks in. We all turn our attention towards him and he closes the door. "We need your help" He says in a deep dark tone. We all look at eachother in confusion. What could they want?
