Out Of Sight -A Zombie Novel

Hanson

S C A R L E T

I turned around to face the incoming soldiers, and glared at the traitor I had let into my home, and eat my food. Raiden looked away, a tinge bit of guilt on his face. I cannot believe he had the nerve to feel guilty.

I didn't say a word to him. Slightly ashamed that I was fooled. I wasn't going to be fooled again, I can promise you that.

I raised my hands in the air, In surrender, seeming I had no other choice. However, I was hoping they would be dumb enough, and not check me for weapons.

I had my throwing knives in a strap on both my ankles, which were covered by my pants.

Raiden knew I had my throwing knives there but much to my relief, he didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry. I had to. They have Jenna." He explained shortly.

I shook my head, the anger and disappointment I was feeling was beyond anything I have felt in months. I understood he had a loved one held by Hanson. But my family comes before anyone, Raiden started this whole thing and because of him I'm here, about to be at the mercy of Hanson.

There was no way I could ever forgive him. Trust was hard to earn back once you broke it. And he didn't just break it, he tore it into pieces.

I now realized how smart and planned out their plan was. I should have known. They implanted Raiden at my house, gave me the impression that he was on my side, and then used him so I would show him everything. I mentally scolded myself for my idiot ways.

Moses was right, I shouldn't have trusted so easily. 

I made sure to give Raiden a hard glare, before he was led out of the room by a couple of soldiers.

Two soldiers came up to me and did a full body pat down. Much to my dismay.

They took my duffel bag full of food, and other stuff, and kicked it to the side (it's a good thing Roman had the bag with the grenades otherwise we'd be in pieces right now). They took my knives before shoving me ruffly onto the ground and binding my hands together with rope.

I had my head on the ground, trying not to show any emotion on my face.

I knew my shoulder was bleeding and I was wincing with pain. It burned and it hurt like hell. But I held on. I didn't want to give them the pleasure knowing that they had hurt me.

"The girl has been detained." One guy said.

I craned my neck upwards, and recognized him as Roy. That crazy bastard.

"Moses and the others got away, should we go after them?" The voice radioed back.

I felt a flood of relief wash through me, knowing my sacrifice didn't go in vain.

"No, we got the one we want." Roy grinned at me evilly showing his now yellow rotten teeth.

I knew I couldn't trust him since the moment I met him.

I came to a startled wake confused about what had happened what seemed hours ago. I didn't know where I was, it was too dark in the room to tell. There were no windows, only a small dingy light in the middle of the room. I struggled against the ropes that were tied around my hands but quickly stopped when I flinched at the burning pain my shoulder gave off.
