Vesper (Curfew #2)

"Finally," said Tywin, as he stretched up. His boring hours have finally ended. We have landed in Sydney.

"It's empty here." observed Lucy.

"They evacuated the airport. There's an outbreak that occurred nearby. More than fifty-six flights have been cancelled." said Miles.

"How did you know all that?" Holly asked.

"I had access to the mics, the one I was fidgeting earlier." answered Miles.

The airport, of course, is big. Not a good place for an outbreak to happen because every zombie might just be scattered everywhere. It's hard to split up now that the group is a third smaller. We have to stick together.

"Everyone grab their weapons. There might be some just outside the airport." I ordered everyone. They started moving to the black metal box full of weapons.

"There might be a lot. It's been an hour since I've heard the report." said Miles.

"Why didn't you informed us earlier?" I asked him.

"It would be useless. Even if we wanted the jet to go fast, we'd still be in the same situation." he answered. He's not wrong. He walked away and went with the others. I already have a gun with me. I also have an exclusive access to military grade weapons and bullets. The kids have the standard ones, but I've seen them use those before. They're pretty good with it.

As the only adult in the group, I claimed the responsibility over these children. They've been my family and I know that I'll never have one anymore but them. I chose to lead them, since I was under the responsibility of General Sanders before. I told him not to send more of his best men to lead us and I volunteered. He didn't protest. Even though they eliminated most of the zombies in Ottawa, danger is still lurking. They better be prepared.

"Hey, France and Berlin had an outbreak hours ago." Lucy informed as she walked towards me with a machine gun in her hand.

"Yeah? They must've taken care of it by now." I said to her. Even though we don't know the statuses of the others, we know that they'll be okay and that they'll do good.

"I can't believe we're in Australia." said Holly, making her way towards the abandoned luggage carriers.

"Same. But I don't like it because we're not complete." said Tywin.

"Let's go, guys. We're delayed. We've got to control this one fast." I called before they would talk more about missing the others or some more things about Australia. We walked off and made our way inside the airport building. The troops we're with doesn't seem to care, so we hurried in case we've got a new order.

The airport really is abandoned. Once we got out of the vault door, it was plain quiet and dark. Many luggage bags were abandoned. That of a hurry?

"I don't like this." Lucy said softly. Our guns were prepared.

"Tywin?" I asked.

"Nothing. No movements nearby or somewhere far. I couldn't hear anything but silence." Tywin answered.

"So they're outside." Miles said. 

"Yeah. That's better than them being here inside." I said.

"Come on, let's move." said Lucy.

The fact that it's almost nighttime here doesn't help in boosting enthusiasm. Lucy's pretty good with her sight, but she wasn't blessed with a clear night vision unlike Ambrosia and Grant. Tywin has an excellent hearing, but that would mean he should be shouting where the zombies are.

"Everyone turn their flashlights on." I ordered. Soon, there were eight circular lights roaming around the room. We walked out of the waiting room and now in the main airport building. Maybe a force evacuation happened here. The amount of luggages left were uncountable.
