Criminal ~ Murphy *LS*

Alvin Murphy pt.3

 It was quiet as I put the baby in the car seat. We heard zombies outside. Some ran inside, and Garnett began killing. I helped, and I didn't notice on pass by until Murphy said,

"Hey, um, Ally. Baby." I spun around and killed the zombie that had slipped by us unnoticed. The baby cried and we continued killing every zombie in sight. They were eventually all cleared. I noticed Murphy nearing that baby. He tilted his head. "They kid finally shut up."

"Get away from there!" Garnett warned. Murphy backed away. Warren and Hammond then came back in.

"Murphy! Get over here," Hammond said. He took Murphy out of the building.

"You okay?" Warren asked Garnett and I.

"Yeah," I say.

"Yeah, I'm great," Garnett says.

"The baby?"

"He's weak, but he's hangin' in there."

"Here," Warren says, handing us a cloth to clean to blood off. We then heard a weird noise. And as we looked the baby. We noticed a very big difference in its appearance. It was now a Z! We jumped back.

"Kill it," I say.

"I can't," Garnett replies. "Ugh I can't."

"Yes you can," Warren says.

"No, you do it."

"I don't want to do it. You do it! You gotta kill it!" It stared at us through some boxes, and Warren motioned me to run outside. It takes a few seconds, but they follow. They hold the door shut for the baby.

"What's the hold up?" Hammond asks.

"Where's the baby?" Addy asks me.

"Turned," I reply.

"Huh, surprise surprise," Murphy says. I sigh and shake my head.

"You're this close to getting punched in the face." He hold his hands in the air.

"Woah! Fiesty." I roll my eyes and Addy pats my shoulder. Garnett then grabs Murphy by the collar of his jacket, and pins him up against the wall. While that's happening, Hammond is pointing a gun at him.

"Let him go. Or I will send you to walk among the dead," Hammond states. Garnett looks at Hammond for a moment, but lets Murphy go. I hug Garnett and shake my head. "Let's get in the trucks. We're moving out."

"What about the baby thing?" Warren asks.

"We can't leave it like that," I say.

"Yeah, she's right, even if it is turned." Mack says.

"It sounds so sad," Addy says.

"It's not sad, it's a zombie," Doc says.

"Amen brother," Murphy replies. "Let's go!"

"We can't leave it like that!" I say. Murphy sighs. Garnett then gets his gun ready.

"I'll do it."

"I'll do it," Hammond says, lowering Garnett's gun. "I need you to pull it together." a moment of silence, then Hammond says, "Two minutes. Be ready to go." Warren opens the door, lets him in, and then quickly shuts it. We all stand around and I sigh.

"We wanted to ditch these two, take the trucks and run, now would be the time," Doc states. Everyone looks at him. "Just sayin'." I sit on the ground and close my eyes. We then heard screaming, and as we ran inside, the baby and another Z were eating Hammond! Then Doc, Warren, and Garnett took care of all three of them. We then turned around and went back to the trucks.

"You know, none of this would've happened if you would've just left the damn baby," Murphy says.

"I didn't tell Hammond to go get eaten by a baby," Garnett replies.

"Never mind that now," Warren starts. "We need a plan."

"My plan? Is I am taking this truck, and I am forgetting about vaccines, and labs, and all of you. I wanted off this train from day 1. And now's my chance." Murphy informs us.

"Now wait, wait, wait," I say. "You can't just go. What about California, what about that vaccine?"

"What if it's real? What if there's a chance, and what if it's you?"

"Addy. How do we know this isn't all just bullshit?" Mack says.

"How does anybody know anything anymore?" Murphy asks. Suddenly, the walkie talkie starts staticing.

"What the hell is that?" Warren asks. Addy goes to it and picks it up.

"It's Hammonds Radio." she begins having a conversations with someone from the NSA. They talk about a package and apparently, it's Murphy. The new mission, the new priority. It was to get Murphy to California. We all get in vehicles; Doc driving the pick up with me in the front, and Addy and Mack in the back, the Murphy, Warren, the new girl, and Garnett in the other vehicle. Doc stops the truck, and I took distracted with my thoughts to pay any attention to what's going on. That is until we start moving again.

"Who just jumped in the back?" I ask.

"The sniper that saved my life," Doc replies. I narrow my eyes and shake my head as Doc chuckles. We then continue on our way.
