Now They Walk

Where to go

------------------------Jake------------------------

The sun was shining through the window, streams of light meeting my eye. Nate was still sleeping. His hand still rested on my stomach.

I brought my hand up and softly rubbed his cheek. His skin was warm and soft.

"That's cute" I heard a voice say. Girls voice.

I jumped up, snapping my head to the source. It took no more than a second to notice Ellie's face.

"What are you doing here?" Nate asked

"I wanted to leave the quarantine, same as you two...and some soldier wanted me to give you two this" she held out a note

I stood up and grabbed it.

Nate and Jake. Find leader of resistance . Can help with cure. Hurry. Not much time.

"Did you read this?" I asked Ellie

"No, don't have to, I know the purpose and I know that Nate right their is immune"

"How did you know?" I asked

Ellie was quiet. She popped off the wall she was leaning against.

"Me, Robert and Tanner, we were part of something bigger than ourselves"

"And what's that?"

"We were part of the resistance"

"Resistance?" Nate asked with a raised eyebrow "how does that show how you figured out I was immune?"

"Oh I just stole the results, but before everything turned, the government started dishing this new so called super drug out to cancer patients"

"How is this relevant?" I asked

"Well we had a friend, one smart damn scientist and he said that the drug will destroy humanity"

"And no one believed him" I said

"Well a lot of people did, me and tanner were two of them, and now we want to bring down the standing corrupt government and then build a new life"

"And how does all that connect with me?" Nate asked

"We need a cure, we have to be able to take down the infected and the corrupted" she said

"Well since you have such big connections, where are they?" I asked

She looked at her feet. "I don't know"

"Oh you don't know, so does that mean that half the shit you just said is one big damn lie?"

"No, I don't know where they are because we haven't been in contact"

"For how long?"

She sighed "seven months"

"And where's the last place they were?"

"New York" she said "that's the last place I knew of,  and their is a good chance they're still their....so let's go" she said
