Vesper (Curfew #2)

•9. Oliver•

"Your son?!" Tywin exclaimed in disbelief. We were all shocked, but Scott seems cool about it.

"Yes. I was very worried and restless at first. Been looking for him for three days. After that, we received a morse code stating coordinates but no plain message at all. The second time we got a morse code, the sender introduced himself. Robert. My son." said Scott.

"Where are they?" asked Lucy.

Scott looked at her, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." he said.

I crossed my arms, "What's not to believe." I said.

Scott sighed, "St. Mary's Cathedral. Underground. Mosaic locked them for 'misbehaving'." he said.

"Wait, they turned too?" asked Tywin.

"I asked them about that. Rob said that they were never brainwashed to be turned. They were abducted and experimented on. What would be the reason on turning when there is no reason at all to turn from him." said Scott.

"Wait a sec, my brain hurts." said Tywin in a fast manner.

"I get it now." said Lucy.

"So, what now? How long have they been trapped there?" I asked.

"They've been trapped for two days. The first day they've gone missing was the day they were being experimented on." Scott explained.

"What now?" Tywin asked as well.

"Of course, I wanted you to save them." said Scott.

"Wanted." Tywin emphasized suspiciously.

"The place is loaded with zombies." said Scott.

"Oh, okay. We can handle that." said Holly.

"Yeah. And it would be nice if you give us more weapons." said Lucy.

"Oh, I will give you more weapons all right." said Scott.

"So, when are we gonna do it?" asked Miles.

"As soon as possible. Since we're all in the brink of global extinction, we'd like to expand Vesper by adding the newly experimented-on subjects so that the situation could be handled easily." said Scott.

I sighed, "We'll go now. This has to be done as soon as possible." I said.

"Yeah!" Tywin cheered.

"Are you sure? It's completely dark outside." said Scott.

"Oh, we'd like that more. In that case, we'd be able to use grenades." said Tywin. I smiled, remembering Nicholai.

"In that case, state me what you all need. We have to get you prepared in a jiffy." said Scott.

-------------------------------------

I only asked for two machine guns because I really don't know what to ask for. The kids? Oh, man. They asked for loads of weapon that you might have mistaken them for a death squad.

We were given two briefcases of grenades, each containing ten. We have to use them smart because we don't know yet how many there really is.

Scott provided us an upgraded Hummer. It's made of bulletproof material, supposedly. But we're pretty great now. We've got heavy loaded (but light) weapons and I'm pretty sure we could make it.

Making our way through St. Mary's Cathedral, we could already see a lot of zombies around. Tywin was hugging the briefcase of grenade, Holly had the other one with her. It was really dark outside, our only lights were the headlights. And sometimes, our way was blocked by groups of zombies. We plowed right through them anyways.
