Suicide Squad (CoD Zombies)

Vertraue Mir - Trust in Me

No one's PoV

They had heard everything from the stairs that they were perched on. The children were ordered  to stay in their rooms and to not venture downstairs because their caretakers were expecting guests in one room that was forbidden for them to play in. Samantha Maxis mused earlier to the others that it reminded her of the story that her father read to her sometimes about the Virgin Mary warning the little girl in the story about the thirteenth door that she should never open. Nonetheless, Samantha desperately wanted to go into the room that held the meeting, just like the little girl in the story did.

"It isn't like Hell is behind the door, Sam.", the young Tank Dempsey mumbled. He stared intently at the door. "That's not how this story will go."

"So, what do you think they're talking about?", Samantha pondered aloud, as she scratched her dog, Fluffy, behind her ear.

"From that sneak peek of those monsters, it could be anything.", the young Nikolai Belinski replied as he sat next to the young Takeo Masaki. Takeo nodded and slowly got up to his bare feet. "We cannot linger here anymore. It sounds like they are almost done with their meeting."

"Agreed. We must go upstairs now, my friends.", the young leader of the group, Edward Richtofen, said. Everyone nodded as they rose to their feet and began to walk upstairs. 

"And just where do you think you're going?", a new more mature voice spoke. The children had just made it to the second floor when they all gasped as they looked downstairs, meeting the angry eyes of a grown Tank Dempsey. When Tank Dempsey and the man that possessed many rings on his fingers came out earlier, the children hid until they heard the front door open and close. They weren't expecting him to come back, especially in the state that the other man was in. Now Tank Dempsey, a man that could clearly intimidate anyone, was standing at the bottom floor glaring up at the children. They all stood there, dumbfounded, as Tank crossed his muscular arms over his chest. "Don't make me tell Maxis and Monty that you kids aren't in your rooms."

Believing that he was the best choice to speak to him, the child version of Dempsey spoke up. "We just wanted to know what you guys were doing in there."

Tank Dempsey widened his eyes slightly, not expecting that response from someone like, well, himself. He sighed, walking up the stairs to meet the children as Fluffy slightly growled at him. He ignored the dog as he kneeled down on one knee, making it easier for him to see their faces. "Can't really say anything about it, kids. Even I don't know what the hell just went down in there." He scratched his chin as he looked away from them.

"Mr. Dempsey?" Samantha placed her small hand on top of his large, gloved one. He turned to her, waiting patiently for whatever she had to say. "Yeah?"

"Are we safe?"

Again, Tank Dempsey wasn't expecting that.

"Lock him up.", Tank Dempsey ordered as he shoved me towards Bertram. I looked back at Dempsey with pleading eyes as he was the one to be trusted more than Dr. Monty and the others. He didn't meet my gaze as he turned away quickly, leaving me at the hands of Bertram and his fellow guards.
