Cure of 54

Baltimore

I walk out of the building feeling a bit confused of why a survivor would run from one of the safest people on this planet right now

. Zack:Hey Xavier look what I found running past the truck. *I peek my head out the glass door and walk towards him* Xavier:Maria? Maria:You guys are monsters!No better than THE REST OF THEM! *As the heat got to me I just couldn't stand a whiny woman right now I pulled Maria by her arms and swung her against the alley way's wall. * Xavier:Look at me! YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY IF YOU STAY WITH US! Maria:I rather die then be with you MONSTERS! Xavier:It's 84 degrees out,we're all in a pissy mood but we might just be the last people on this earth and you could help us save millions of people perhaps even the whole world.Zack and I are just two men from an science lab that did not get effected from any of these diseases.I'm surprised that we survived two years with this! Trust me you're a tough person and we need you as much as you need us.We're your new family and we won't hurt you. Maria:Liesss! You're...you're like some sort of evil scientist!Putting me up for the test of survival! Zack: You'd be surprised of what we're doing. Xavier:THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP ZACK. Maria:WHAT DOES HE MEAN. Xavier:He means we doing for the better.. just come on! *I release my grip on her wrists and starts walking towards Zack* Maria:Sigh...I guess I got to do what I got to do. I woke up on the shaking floor of the truck sliding to the back and hitting my back and sliding back to the other on my knees. I tried to stand up with the best might I had and held onto the car seat I look over to see Zack driving and Maria sleeping in the passenger's seat.Xavier:W-what time is it Zack? Zack:That time that is considered night?Do you think I would have something to tell time with? We lost......everything. I noticed Zack was trying to sound happy but I knew deep down he just wants to choke me for losing everything we had.Xavier:Oh cheer up pal!We got all this stuff around us!Just think about it we got food,clothes,HAIR DYE! You're favorite. Zack:haha shutup! Xavier:I mean dammmnnnn boy you got that blue hair and ain't no roots grow in! Two years! *Now I felt kinda awkward for saying that.* Zack:Man wow. Well yeah it's permanent. Xavier:oh...well do you want me to take the wheel. Zack:I guess I can take a hour of sliding and hitting the sides of this truck.. *Automatically I slide to the front and Zack bumps back and forth to get to the back* Xavier:Atleast the sun is setting. *I hear Zack scream over me* Zack:FALSE! The sun neither rises or sets it's only EARTH rotating. Xavier:Education kills the common sense. Well we'll get to Washington soon...why not for now we get some fun stuff starting. Zack:Huh? Xavier:The next town we get to. I'll get off the highway and go there...just maybe to..do what we want.Think about it Zack...we have no laws.Nothing or no one pulling us back. We'd get out all of our rage. Zack:Out of two years you ...just think about this? Xavier:We've been caught up on work that's most likely not even anywhere anymore. I mean come on!I still have my name tag. "Xavier Q. Dao" and you still have your's "Zack A. Velco" I would think we would of cared more about our radioactive suits then these.Zack:You know what I care about? Sleep. *Zack slides back from holding onto the front seat and grabs the bar from the side and clings on.*I gripped my left hand to the driving wheel and held onto a cup of water in the other hand. -2Hours after driving- Xavier:Oh I can't wait we're five miles to a town. Maria:What are we doing? Xavier:Well first of all lets go take a shower! and get tons of food! I could go for the choclate since well..it is the most expensive food in the world now. Maria:So are..you and Zack brothers?Or ...something more. Xavier:No...oh hell no;Zack's my well he was my intern before all of this. Also he's in his 20's for some reason since ever I took him in from his college I got this brotherly bond.I think he needs me in his life. *I turn my head to her and smirked and She just looks at me and then looks at the cup of water* Maria:Did you ever wondered what real water tasted like? Xavier:I never really thought about it. Ah!Look we're almost at...-bal...um Balte..Maria:Baltimore. Xavier:I could never understand cities. Maria:Yet you're a scientist. Xavier:I remember my testing room all of my wicked ideas on my wall.Telling my wife Toria about the things we could create. She had the most beautiful carmel colored eyes and long black hair always wearing a pair of skinny jeans and her lab shirt. Maria:....What happen to her? Xavier:That's a story for another time. I hear Zack sliding up to the front of the truck and he holds onto Maria's chair Zack:It's night time you sure we should go out? -As I all of the sudden step on the break slowly but fast.Zack flies up to the Radio and Maria grabs Zack by her left hand and her other hand on her car window and I backlash in my seat.We all look forward to see about five zombies from an distance Maria and I gasp and Zack's whimpering from still hitting the radio not noticing our faces- Maria:We're screwed they already heard our car stop. Xavier:We don't look for excuses here Maria! Zack:For fuck sakes don't hit them they're people! -I look in the rear window and started to shockingly grab the pole in the car and put it in reverse; driving backwards is not as easy as I thought it would be. Maria:This isn't helping us!They're coming towards us. Zack:Switch with me Xavier! -With the little time we had I slid onto Maria's lap and Zack took the drivers seat,I felt like I'm an a funny thrill.Like do you ever get so scared you start to laugh? We're all screaming while Zack is swirling the truck to each side backwards and all we see is our lights on the car flashing on the zombies and off and on again.- Zack:Man,I'm sorry but fuck this.-He slams onto the break and I go face first into the radio and Maria smacks into my back-Zack:Art thou you are not worthy I'll save us! Maria:The hell? -He slams the car into motion and the sound of the skewering tires blasts like an race car and goes full force-*I look up to be face to face with a gruesome 54 against the windshield-I shriek like a little girl and slid back into the back of the car and hung onto the pole so I didn't go flying out the doors onto the road and out of the panic I grab Zack's axe and climb over Maria and opens the window to feel the fast warm air crossing my face and my clammy hands holding onto his axe I slam the axe into the zombies back and the body went flying off and slides quickly under the tire and we hear his bones crush as the truck lashes over the body I look back to see the four others looking at the truck and onto his body crushed in agonizing pain the zombie screamed out. -We're all just screaming like idiots with a truck going over 80 miles per hour swerving side to side.To see an open road with no more disfigured shadows we all sigh in relief- Maria:Damn the creepy dark sky just couldn't be enough? Zack:I think...my nose is broken -Maria and I look over to Zack to see blood dripping down his shirt- Maria:Don't say that! Your nose looks perfect -He just gazes at her like she's stupid- It's not as bad I don't think it's broken but you did pretty much fuck it up from hitting the radio. Zack:THANKS TO YOU XAVIER!,asshole. Xavier:I didn't want to hit innocent people... Zack:What did I do so wrong to be the one with a fucked up nose?! Maria:Not wear a seat belt? Zack:Meh meh meh meh Shutup! There's only two seat belts Maria:DON'T YOU BACK TALK ME MISTER! .Enough!-I cried out to stop the heated anger- Look we're all going through some adapting with others at an hot day but you seriously need to stay calm.We have an potential of being killed any time no one can save you but your self.We're in this together; not to sacrifice! We're......we're a family,a team.We don't fight against each other! Maria:Damn,Mr.Emtionalsupport man. Xavier:Well I'm not a fighter I'm a creator. Zack:I'm pulling over I seriously need to stop this nose bleed. -As he slows the truck down slowly and steps down onto the road and takes a glimpse onto the shadowy road to the distanced buildings.Slowly sliding his hands onto his knees and letting the blood drip from his nose and not noticing his hair over his eyes- Xavier:Zack?You okay? Zack:Of course it's just a nose bleed calm down pussy cat. - Maria stares down the rest of the truck to make sure of clearance- Zack:You. -He stares right into my face with exhaustion- You lost my...favorite...axe. .I smirk and look back down at him :Trust me Zachary we'll have the most thrill in the morning. I whisper at him while he's holding his shirt back from his nose. Xavier:Now get back in the truck we'll let Maria drive this time and we'll do something about that nose! He looked up to me and give a laugh and a smile. - -- - July 13th,2234 : New name for this journal. Idea #1 Super epic book of zombie attacks! Anyway the others and I have been on our journey to Washington step by step in the process of getting there we'll take a few stops. Sitting here thinking about what is waiting for us at the White House.I'm not sure if survivors or not or any type of "potion" or cures. I think personally Maria has started to adapt to Zack and I. I have a question for you: If there is 8.72 billion people in the world running off to be zombies and be away from you...have a little fun?Come on.No cops,no judges,no kids,no douchebags yelling at you cause you're smart and you didn't get the hot girl!Well fuck you you're a zombie what now! I'm getting a little carried away but anyway there's bound to more than just us three that survived in two years With 8.72 billion people on this planet ; like animals.I've noticed that these 54's have not had a temptation for animals but only their own kind. I really hope my other workers like Jonathan are still alive. I wonder what my lab is like...tiled walls with molding and blood...broken...glass of mixtures.Files...all of them...lost.Well atleast we get to see what the C.I.A is hiding from us . My eyes feel deepened by tiredness,my hair scruffy and in need for a cut,Maria's curls slowly frizzing into a puff and Zack...still has his hair. . . . . Maria:How's that nose of yours Zack -She looks to him in the other seat to see his head bowed down with his blue hair covering everything except his nose he looks back up to her- Zack:It could of always been better but eh at least the bleeding stopped. Do you..ever wonder what a science lab is like? Maria: Based on movies and shows I'll think mostly white and scary Zack:Well...it's not that bad; because I was more comfortable being there then at my own apartment. Maria:But you're in your early 20's why didn't you go out and party? Zack:I don't know I guess I wasn't that type of person.It got pretty lonely sitting in my apartment and my..head is always running through thoughts that are just to...untruthful for the normal human eyes.Since I was a kid I always wanted to create things, get the girls,be like everyone else but with.. A crazy touch. . -I slowly engage into Zack and Maria's conversation in the back thinking to my self of the greatness before this crisis. How I'm the person who did all of this. Killed millions. My lustful mood for happiness was slowly fading away and sadness to fill. I hurt so many.But...I...I..I was only trying to help these people from..confinjia . But was I really trying to help or just beat government. Confinjia gave a better look for people to see our world; cause our world truly is like shit today. Waste land everywhere,crowed cities with garbage all around. Confinjia is technically like being very high for the rest of your life. Like come on Pennsylvania was partly the only state that confinjia did not hit because of the gases that already all in the air.Asthma died out in 2199. Our world is a mess.And all I did is just make it worse. Maria: Xavier?You okay back there?We're basically in town. We all gaze our eyes to the near distanced half buildings; broken down cars crowed the highway to the entrance of the town,smokey skies and little fires all around. Zack:We're not in Pennsylvania anymore. Maria: Baltimore,Maryland. Xavier:We can't get the truck pass all of these cars. -My stomach slowly feeling knotted up of thinking going outside into...that.- Zack:I guess we have to take all the resources we can carry and walk from here. If we took the truck through all these cars it would be to much sound and possibly we'd just get stuck.Come on we can use some walking.We'll probably find another car. -Maria slows the car down to an stop, Zack and Maria both open the two front doors and I open the back to let them grab what they want. - Xavier:Checklist so we got. : 5 bottles of water; 6 guns; 1 pocket knife; 1 watch; 2 jackets ;1 yard of rope; 3 belts;6 masks and.............. a bag of cookies. Zack:Fuck yeah cookies! . . . As we see the sun slowly rising on the horizon we walk towards the city seeing shadows of burned out broken cars scattered along the road looking back at the only easy transportation we had.We near the city to walk in the first road to see apartments with about an average of 4-6 floors with broken damaged windows and the ground filled with broken toys,bags,ashes,blood,what ever you could think people would have them. It's like an asteroid hit and all bodies perished. Xavier:Come on there's ought to be some food around here. Maria: I want to go home. -Maria falls to her knees;holding the tears back from hitting broken glass on the grass. -All I could say is- Xavier:Say good bye to everything,the only thing that's holding us back is the only thing that's keeping is alive.Forget your regrets. Zack:Come on Maria we have to go we don't have all year please. -Zack and I grab her hands to help her up- -I put my hand through my dirty hair almost getting my hand stuck from sighing in relief of all we had done lately- Xavier: Trust me Maria you're not the only one who will break out at this time. All of everyone has a time where they want to screech like a little girl and cry their eyes out. Even the toughest guys you see want to run away from their problems...but we still do what we have to for any one. -I set my hands on both of my hips and bite my lower lip in frustration of thinking of what we do next- Maria: So how do you guys think this zombie crisis started out from?? -Zack and I glance at each other nervously and Zack opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out he looks up toward the sky and bites his lip and cross his arms putting all his weight on his right side and sits there thinking; she looks at him and stares directly in my eyes I tried to look away not having contact but not make it look obvious I sigh and say: Science can be a bitch when your testing things out. - Zack gasps and bites his nail on his thumb trying to hold back the truth- Maria:But..aren't you guys scientist?- I slowly do a 360 to see where we were at basically in at the entrance of the city but the start of the town on the side walk with blood and glass and looked back at Maria with a nervous smirk and glances over to Zack who's lanky body is standing with his hair down to the ground biting his nail looking to the ground and looking back at me and back to the ground. Maria:why are you...REALLY going to Washington D.C. Xavier:Zack grab her. -As I feel a force push me from the back and I hit the ground to smack into the sidewalk to see boots covered in blood and Maria screaming and Zack calling out our names I slowly close my eyes in desperation- _______________________________________________________ Hello.
