Silent Sniper

Chapter TEN

We walk for a while, just enjoying each other's presence and when we are almost there, we discover the problem. They are stuck. We rush over to them.

"Are you guys ok?" I ask.

The had pulled stuff over them, and all the zombies dented it in, so my the can't move.

"We will be if you get us the heck out of here!" Murphy yells.

10k grabbed one side, and I grabbed the other and they all got out and when they did we dropped it. Intubation my arms and hiss. Haven't lifted something that heavy before, and 10k did most of the work

"Good to see ya." Doc says. He doesn't look at me. He was still upset. You know when there is something wrong with Doc. He is always in a good mood. But he is down.

"Doc......Can I talk to you?"

I ask. 10k tells then what happened and Doc and I walked ahead.

"I miss him too." I say. He nods. "That little guy. He was the best baby I had ever got the pleasure of holding. And you did the right thing giving him back. Even if you didn't really like doing it. You still did." He sighs.

"I had a kid out there. His name was James. Don't even know if he is alive or not."

I smile. "My dad's name was James." I say. "When did you leave?" I asked.

"Well, I was 19 when he was born."

"James Kyle." I stop him after he says that. I get my bag and dig out a picture of my family.

"Doc.......Is this your son?" He looks at the picture and the. Looks at me.

"I knew I recognized you." He says. And he's right. I was a spitting image of my father. "I may not have known him, but I know my baby boy when I see him. I remember him from the first time i held him. I held him once but I left ....I was scared and too young to be a father."

"My god." I hug him and he hugs me back.

"Can't believe I'm a grandpa." He says. This day got a whole lot weirder

"How did you not know from him being a zombie?" I ask.

"I didn't see him. Mack and 10k took care of the bodies before you came out of the room." Thinking back, I didn't remember seeing the bodies in the hallway.

"Well what do we have here. Grandaughter and grandpa reunited. Even though the were never together. Or apart. You get what I mean."

"What's going on here?" Warren asks with her hands on her hips.

"Well, it seems Doc is my only known living relative." I say.

10k looks at me. "I feel weird." I look at him.

"Why?" I ask chuckling nervously.

"I don't know." He says puzzled.

"Well you got a lot to learn about conversations Grasshopper." Doc says. He pats 10k's back and then walks off.

I laugh. "10k, can I have a ride?" He nods.

I jump on his back and he grabs my leg. We start walking back to the truck.

"Doc.......My grandpa. Who knew." I say.

"We're still best friends right?" He asks.

I hop down. "Why would you doubt it?"

"Well it's obvious you will be hanging out with Doc more." He says.

"You think, just because Doc is a relative I will leave you? We will still be like we were. I don't even really know him, none of the group really. I barely know you. Well I sort of know you, but I still don't know your name."
