The Second Mission *COMPLETED*

Shock #2

"What did you just say?" My voice is the most angry as it been it's a long time. "Did you just say we are out of gas?" His lips turned into a smile and he starts to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" I growl at him.

"First thing I have to say is the car is actually out of gas and second thing is that's my driveway." He pointed to a paved road to out left and started to laugh again.

"Holy shit Dan! Don't scare me like that! You're an asshole did you know that?" I punched him in the shoulder harder than the last time to show him my anger.

He rubbed him shoulder where I punched him. "Ow that hurt you know," Yea I do know it was supposed to. "Come on let's run it's getting dark out." He is right the sun is just setting.

We get our of the car and Dan starts running at fast as he can, his arms pumping and he's taking deep breathes. I quickly follow him down his paved driveway it literally takes us three minutes to get to his house.

It's a beautiful house made of brick and big windows inside I could see through them and there is only a blazing fire and in front of it are two chairs. I'm not to sure but I think I saw a figure of someone sitting in one of the chairs.

Dan walks up to the door and tries to open the door but I can tell by the look on his face that it's locked. He pounds on it with his fists as hard as he can. "Dad! Mom! Are you there? It's me Dan if you're in there come open the door!" His voice is scared and frantic. I look through the window and the figure that was on the chair is gone.

I could hear a few clicks coming from the other side of the door and it opened. There stood A man, who I guess is Dan's dad. The man is six feet tall his hair is jet black. His arms are way more muscular than Dan's. If it weren't for the square shaped glasses on his head you would think he's in the army. Dan looks nothing like him. This can't be his real dad.

Before I could say anything Dan wrapped his arms around his torso. After a few moments he pulled away.

"So this must be Shyla I've heard a lot about you. Come inside and sit down." His eyes fixed on mine. His voice is very low and soothing nothing like Dan's. How did this man know my name? Dan hasn't seen him since we started this extravaganza I've been with him the whole time.

Dan's dad leads us to the room where the two chairs are, not even turning the lights on. He lets me and Dan sit in the chairs while he stands in front of the fire facing towards us. He crosses his arms and his eyes fixate in mine. In the dim light I could see he has a scar on his right temple. I wonder where it's from.

"Shyla incase you didn't know I was your dad's old lab partner." Wait no that's impossible my dad's old lab partner is dead. My dad told me himself. I look over at Dan and he's as bewildered as I am. I take it he didn't know about this.

"No.. That's impossible you're dead my dad saw you die before his very eyes." I try to be confident but my voice doesn't come out that way. It comes out staggered.

"That my dear lady is where you are wrong," his voice was sly and cunning.

"I escaped. There was a crack in the wall of the lab I squeezed through it and I ran. I ran as fast as I could.thats when I got this scar. A zombie scraped moth with his nails." He pointed to the scar on his temple. My mind is blurry with the information it just received.

Wait my dad thinks this man is dead. We have to reunite them. "My dad thinks you're dead! We have to get you to him!"

"We have to wait until morning who knows what's out there," His voice is calm and collective and I can't help it but agree with him. "Shyla would you mind going to Dan's room it's down the hall, the second door to the right." I wonder what he needs to talk to him about.

On the right side of the hallway there's a picture it's of Dan his father and mother. I can now see where he gets his looks. His mom had long blonde hair and blue eyes just like his. She is also scrawny and has barely any meet on her body, just like Dan.

Instead of going to to Dan's room I linger outside where the hallway began eager to hear what Dan's dad has to say. In the dark I could barely see but I saw Dan dad's silhouette kneel down on one knee his voice a whisper. "Dan I'm sorry but your mom didn't make it."

Dan get up and pushes him out of the way and runs past me not even noticing me. He tries to slam the door behind home but I stop it. When I walk into his room I notice nothing but him sitting against the wall crying. I sit down next to him and he leans he head in my shoulder. My shoulder is wet and the noise of Dan crying is gone, he's asleep.
