The Second Mission *COMPLETED*

Close Call

"Hey mom," Her eyes were halfway closed and she let out a little groan I think that's her way of telling me to go on. Is she really in that much pain? If that's the case there is no way we are going to get her back to dad. I let out I sigh. I have to tell her.

"Dad made the plague." There I spat it out like it was poison in my mouth.

"Sweetie, I know." Correct me if I'm wrong but did she just say she knows? I'm totally dumbfounded by what she just said. What's with everyone keeping secrets from me! It's actually really pissing me off!

"Bu- but how?" I tried to control the stutter in my voice but despite my efforts it came out of my body.

"He called me and told me. He said he was very sorry. That's when I called you, a few minutes after he called." So that's how she knew. I didn't need to take this we need to get out of here and fast. I need to take her to dad. Even though the cure worked there might be a little plague left in her body. She seems very sick. We can only leave if it's light outside though. Who knows how many zombies are out there.

"Dan, go check if it's still dark outside." He was sitting on the chair that was against the wall twiddling his thumbs. It's kinda nice to be a leader it makes me feel good.

"Sure thing boss." He gave me a lopsided grin and ran off.

I turn to my mom. Her body is still. Is she dead? Oh god please no I can't loose her not now, not ever. She's the only family I have left, well I do have dad but I don't consider him family anymore. Not after he kept a colossal secret from me. I put my ear to her mouth, she's breathing thank the lord.

A gut wrenching scream came from the hallway. Holy shit that's Dan! I rush out into the hallway leaving my mother behind.

Dan was all the way down at the other end of the hallway with a zombie on top of him trying to bite him. What do I do? What do I do! Wait! I still have my pistol on me! Didn't he have the gun on him that I gave him? That doesn't matter I have to save him. I take my gun, cock it a pull the trigger. Nothing came out. Are you fucking kidding me? I look over at Dan he's still wrestling the zombie I have to hurry. Taking my pack pack off my back I rummage around for the ammo. My hands are shaking as I put the ammo in my gun. The zombies head was right above Dan's face hovering to go in for the bite.

I take carful aim struggling to keep my hand steady. I could kill him I could shot him in the head. I press down on the trigger and the bullet flys out of the gun and straight into the zombies head. Blood goes everywhere and the zombie falls on Dan's body. He frantically pushes the body off and lyes there on his back staring at the ceiling.

I peek into my mom's room. "Stay here mom. Don't move a muscle." She nodded he head in consent.

I rush over to Dan. I hope he isn't hurt I don't want two wounded people on my hands.
"Are you ok?" I ask his extending my hand. He takes it and I hoist him up.

"Yea I'm fine just a little dazed." He said brushing the dirt off of his pants.

There is a blood stain on his shirt. "My dad will probably have a shirt for you." I say pointing at the blood stain.

He gave me a questioning look. "We're going back there? He told us to get away from there!"

"Yes we are going back my mom needs medical attention she's still not feeling well. Are you going to argue with me after I just saved you life?

"No ma'am." His eyes went from me to the ground.

"Then come on. We have to get my mom then get the hell out of here." My voice was harsh and commanding.

We both walk over the now dead zombie and head down the hall to my moms room.
