OUTBREAK (#4)

  [Author's note: Here is OUTBREAK #4!!! In this one we see who exactly Allen and Frank met in the previous issue, and how that shifts the paradigm. I really like the way this issue goes, and I hope you do too. Remember to COMMENT your opinions on this story and VOTE on it if you've liked it!]  

"Jesus. What the hell are you people wearing?" Asked the man, holding his free hand to his nose.

"Zombie guts." Replied Frank quickly, "Now, can we trust you not to blow our brains off while we take these coats off? They're hot, sweaty and smell like dead people."

"Fine. And bury them while you're at it. Those things are going to attract the Undead from miles away!"

Allen gave a small smirk as he began to take off his coat. The man saw it and growled, "Think I'm funny?! Let's see how funny a bullet to your bloody brain is!"

"No! Wait! Calm the H down!" Said Allen, raising his hands in a placating gesture, "it's just that the guts don't attract Zombies. They mask you from them!"

"Pulling my leg, eh?" Said the man quizzically, pointing the gun at Allen, "Let's see how you do that with lead in your brain!"

"Colin! Stop pointing that gun of yours at everything that moves! You're gonna kill someone!" Shouted a feminine voice. The man looked back as a woman emerged from the thick shrubbery. She looked about the man's age with long, pure white hair tied back in a ponytail. Her face was a collage of wrinkles and her complexion was pale. She had sky-blue eyes and a starved build. She wore a flannel top and jeans.

"Hailey! These men were posing as Zombies!" Shouted the man, whose name was Colin. "They have coats smeared with Zombie flesh!"

The woman caught up to where the three men were standing and gasped as she got a better look at Allen and Frank's attire. "Oh my god! Why are you wearing that, you psychopaths?!"

"Ma'am! Please! Calm down! The Undead might hear you!" Said Frank, "We're wearing this to get away from them, and we really wanna take these off! They're horrible!"

"Why? So you can be nude? Trying to rob us you naked bandits?!" Squealed the woman. There was an awkward pause. Frank tried to maintain his composure, but he glanced at Allen and burst into peals of uncontrollable laughter.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Frank laughed so hard he began to cry, and this made Colin angrier. "Laugh at my wife will you? Ya little shit!" He shouted and punched Frank in the face with his gun!

Frank fell to the ground, clutching his jaw and spitting out a piece of tooth and blood. He shouted, "Oh... Sweet Satan in hell!"

"Colin! What the he-" Hailey began, but was cut off by Allen shouting, "YOU BASTARD!"

Allen punched Colin square in the jaw and tackled him down. He punched Colin repeatedly while Hailey tried to get him off. Colin tried to aim his gun at Allen, but he pushed the gun away,

"Don't get that gun in-"

BANG!

                                                                                PART#4: UNITED WE FALL

The moment the sound of the gunshot echoed, Allen felt his nose burn. A few drops of blood dripped down from his face and his eyesight got blurry. It took a few seconds for his brain to process what had happened:
