Chapter 15

Please read the Q/A answers first!!

"Tara?" I hear somone call. "Tara?" I hear it again. I open my eyes to see a man. He looks like General Kyle. "General Kyle?" I ask.

"No....it's me Tara.....your Father."

I wake up with a jump. "Nice to see you awake roomie." I look over and see Max in a hospital type bed. "What happened?" I ask.

"Well let's see...." He says standing up. He grabs a folder of the table. "You're chart says you lost a lot of blood, buts it's just two really bad cuts."He says.

"Okay....what about your arm?" "I tour a muscle, I had surgery yesterday by I should be okay. I can return to the field tomorrow I just have to be careful." He says. I nod.

"So I Have a question.....I've kinda wanted to ask you forever." He says.
"Yeah?" I ask. "Do....you remember anything about your Dad?" He asks.

I smile at the thought. "Yeah.....his name was Kyle. He was blonde and and blue eyes. He was the nicest guy in the world." I say.

"I'm sorry he left you. I don't know why anyone would want to leave you, your one of the sweetest girls in the world." Max says.

"Thanks Max." "No problem." He says hugging me. "We should go see if they're back." He adds. "They left?"

"Yeah, they were gonna try to kill tiny groups of Walkers until we were back." He says and I nod.

We both walk outside. We walk down the hall until we see them. "Hey Guys." We say. "Tara! Max!" They say and we all hug.

"How's the injuries?" Reece asks. "We're good, should be back on the field tomorrow." "Great." Charley says.

"Tara, Max you guys aren't supposed to be out yet." General Kyle says as he sees us. "We're okay sir. We dont need to be there anymore." Max says.

"Well the injuries speak otherwise. I want you both back in the infirmary now. We want you guys to be better for tomorrow." He says. "Okay, fine." We both say.

As I walk away a thought comes to my mind. "General can I ask you something?" I ask turning back around. "I guess, go ahead." He says.

"Why is your last name classified?" I ask. Everyone stops moving. "Because it is, Why is this relevant?" "That's not an answer, Why is it?" I say my voice getting louder.

"Okay Tara, it's not. I lied alright!" His voice matching mine. "Then what's your last name?!" I say. He sighs. "M...My last name......is Norman.....My name is Kyle Norman."

My heart breaks. It's him. As tears fall I say one thing, "Dad?"
