Vesper (Curfew #2)

•6. Remi•

I closed the car door and removed some tight straps around me. We don't smell bad anymore. The driver was nice  enough to let us rub the air freshener on our clothes because Jasper insisted to. The driver didn't protest.

"Remi and company?" a man said as he approached us. A German Government official.

"Yeah." I replied.

"You are needed in the meeting room before proceeding to interrogation. I am Samuel, a secretary of defense." Samuel said.

"Sure. Thanks, Samuel." said Arthur. We followed Samuel inside. There were a few people around. At least three phones were ringing at the same time on the front desk and people were rushing and busy in answering more phone calls.

"They're getting calls for what?" I asked Samuel.

"Evacuation. There were more zombies. We got them in control." he replied.

"Everywhere in Germany?" I asked.

"Some places, yes. A few small break outs happened the same time it happened here. It's as if those zombies received a wake up call." Samuel answered.

"They're controlled zombies. They follow an alpha. You know who that alpha is." I said to Samuel.

"We know. We've been trying so hard to take this situation in control. Couldn't even believe that this is happening." Samuel said.

Samuel led us to the meeting room located on the ground floor. It's a big place. Bigger than the Resistance Headquarters in Ottawa. This is a real deal Resistance place. It might be fragile though.

"This place is lit." Grant said.

"I know right." Jasper agreed.

When we got to the meeting room, it wasn't full of people. There were only three people, Lieutenant Weber is one of them. He gave us a friendly smile as Samuel gestured us to get down.

"I'm sorry if my men are harsh. The environment here is harsh. Please get used to that. You'll only be here for a while anyway." Lieutenant Weber assured.

"Thanks a lot for reminding." said Arthur. Weber only smiled.

"Now, as I have said through the reciever, your friends from France are having a problem right now. Another outbreak occurred. Just a few moments after the outbreak here. We haven't heard anything from Sydney yet. They are about to land though." Lieutenant Weber said, checking the large screen on the wall.

"Okay? What are you trying to say?" Jasper asked.

"I'm not trying to say anything. I'm trying to form a theory here." said Weber.

"What theory?" I asked.

Weber straightened up, "What if the attacks have a pattern? What if the attacks were scheduled? We have been surveying all the planes that were arriving and leaving. Unfortunately, we didn't find Mosiac in any of the flights here. But we found his men. They won't talk up. I bet they're the ones who have hidden the subjects." he said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. The first two questions, they're very possible. Since, you know, these zombies seemed to be controlled. And about Mosiac's location, we still have France and Sydney to check. That leaves us to the subjects safety. We need to find them as soon as possible." I said.
