Nothing But Survival: Dead Eyes

Hit and Run

Martin had woken up to find himself and Harry in the shed kneeling before Wallis and Robert. "What you wanna do with these two sorry sons of bitches Wallis?" Robert asked his boss. Wallis stared Martin in the eyes for a minute until he said "Well they won't survive that's for sure". Martin and Harry took a moment to process what was going on. Wallis pulled Robert aside and began a discreet conversation with him about what should be done. Whilst this took place Harry seized the advantage to have quiet words with Martin. "Go" he whispered. "I'll meet you at the cabin". Just after Harry said this Wallis and Robert began to walk back with purpose. They could both see Wallis removing a knife from his belt which Martin could take advantage of. Once Wallis was close enough Martin charged forward into him with his hands bound behind his back causing Wallis to drop the knife yet Robert was given the perfect opportunity to shoot Martin but Harry made sure this didn't by performing the same maneuver on Robert as he saw Martin do to Wallis. Martin saw the knife hit the ground but struggled to pick it up. Eventually he did and somehow he miraculously was able to stab Wallis in the side of his leg and twisted the knife to ensure the wound not close. With both enemies down Martin made a run for the door and escaped the shed with nothing but a knife to defend himself. Robert then kicked Harry in the jaw and went to shoot him in the head but was prevented from doing so as Wallis yelled "NO! I know exactly what to do with. Put him in a room on his own, make sure he can't communicate with the other two assholes". 

Logan had finally caught up with Jason on the highway on the way into Port Moore. "How far back is he?" Jason asked. Logan wished he could have provided Jason with a better answer but all he could say was "I don't know. I don't even know if he's still alive. He crashed his car so he could be dead". As they continued to move towards Port Moore Jason said "Well lets just hope he is". As they got closer and closer to the town a group of a dozen or so eaters appeared on the road. The pair stopped to assess their options. "Can't go around them" Logan said and Jason acknowledged that there was too much space for the eater to move around and therefore could not knife. "Lets make this quick and easy then get the hell out of here" Logan said. They both pulled out their pistols and began to shoot down all the eaters on the road. 

The group of eaters began to thin out as there was only three left. Logan fired at shot at one and it dropped dead. Jason, on the other hand was struggling to get a clear of an eater coming towards him but in time he got the shot and killed the eater but there was another that was getting closer to him. Logan and Jason raised their guns at the eater at the same time. Jason went to pull the trigger and solve the problem but as he went another bullet got the job done first. It didn't click with Jason immediately what had happened. He looked back at Logan only to see him in the same position as he found himself. It was neither of these two who killed the eater. They looked down the road in the direction they came and saw Alex letting an empty cartridge out of his rifle. 

"Oh shit" Logan said. "Go Jason, I'll meet you at the start of the town" He continued as Jason began to run in the direction of Port Moore. Logan swung his rifle off his shoulder and got on one knee again to have another attempt at killing Alex. This time it was much easier for Logan to take aim. His target was not moving near as fast as it was before and he did not have to compete with the trees. He had a clear shot and took it. "BANG!" The noise of his rifle caressed Logan's ears. The bullet was going straight for Alex's temple. It got closer and closer to it's target. Logan actually believed for a minute before it even had it what he was aiming at that he had killed Alex. Any moment now, Alex Ryan would die. But Logan's bullet was not as perfect an aim as he so thought. Alex felt the bullet fly past his ear as he realized that he was still alive. He stopped in his tracks for a minute fell to his knees. By now Logan knew his bullet had missed Alex but he could not understand why he was on his knees. Perhaps Alex was surrendering until he then stood up and shouted at Logan "You're gonna have to do better than that Logan!" Not only now was Logan angered, but he was frustrated but finally something went his and Jason's way. A larger group of eaters heard all the shots that had been fired and were moving in their direction. His hopes were that Alex would get bitten and would no longer be a problem. He began to sprint away to meet up with Jason as Alex saw the herd and followed Logan.
