Chapter 22

POV. Brooke

I walked towards my chopper and got in. Hugo was already there talking to the pilots. I looked around and saw 4 other guys with us. They were constantly smirking and pointing to Hugo. Hugo sat next to me and ignored the dicks in front of us. The pilot's voice came through the headphones. "We will be at the sunshine state in about an hour, for the dumb bitches who don't know shit, it's fucking Florida" It was a hell of a sarcastic guy. I saw one of the boys in front of me looking very uneasy. I bursted out laughing. "Shut the fuck up you lil dumbass bitch" "Calm the fuck down Nicholas" I looked from Hugo to Nicholas to the uneasy soldier to the silent but looking smart soldier. There was a death silence. The pilots voice was back "Buckle up, we're five minutes from drop zone. Get ready!" We sat down in our seats and buckled up. "SHITE –" The radio went silent. Hugo grabbed my hand and pulled me back in my seat. Apparently, I jumped up when the helicopter started smoking and making weird as fuck noises. Some random dude that was supposed to lead our new team came to us "Emergency landing, stay seated" why the fuck was he walking then. The heli made a sharp turn and the guy smacked to the ground. His head started to bleed. "Shit!" I tried to unbuckle myself but Hugo stopped me. He grabbed the first aid med kit and kneeled beside the man. "No pulse" Hugo was about to revive the man when the heli started to fall. "WHOAAAH" I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me. "Jeez you're heavy, mind letting the cupcakes alone next time? I can't pull you all the way up, but just hang on" he smirked because of my terrible word choice and grabbed a good hold of my arm. Everything started to smoke and shake, I was coughing because of the thickness of the smoke. The guy that was supposed to lead our squad was thrown out of the heli. I tried to look through the smoke and as soon as parts of the sky began to clear I saw some things I didn't like. I pulled Hugo up with my last strength. He grabbed his chair with his free arm and pulled himself up. just seconds after he sat down things got extra bad "INCOMING!"

I woke up in a puddle of blood. I vaguely remembered what had happened. My leg was sore and I could not move too much because of the heavy metal door pressuring on it. I looked up and saw one of the pilots bleeding out on me. "Hello? Hugo, anybody?" What if I was the only survivor. "Okay Brooke, get your shit together." I sat up and began pushing the door off my leg. "Shit it's heavy, I must try harder" I was talking to myself, to reassure me or something, I don't know. Don't judge. I gave up after twenty minutes of pushing and pulling. it only moved for about 6 inches. My muscles were so tired. "Brooke? Brooke! Open your eyes, it's me Hugo, I'm gonna get you out of here." I opened my eyes and first I saw him looking worried but then relieved. He got a metal pipe and lifted the heavy door off my leg. I crawled backwards and stood up. It was a bit sore and scratched, but nothing too serious. "Anybody else that survived the crash, cuz I know our way out of here didn't" I looked at our destroyed helicopter and pilots. "Yes Nicholas and that other dude. Let's go to that fucking medical center and get this stupid mission done." I grabbed my rifle hung it over my back and stuffed my pockets with ammo. We started walking towards the meeting spot. "Hugo, just in time, we almost thought we had to go without you" Nicholas laughed. "Suit up, we are completing this mission as soon as possible and call for a new chopper in the facility." "Yes sir" the two soldiers synched. Nicholas opened his mouth to say something but I shut it "I'm done with your bullshit, who's the fuck are you?" "Hank, now if you two are done fighting I would like to get the hell out of here" "Well I think prettyface here and I will have some fun right" Hugo looked very angry at Nicholas. I placed my hand on his shoulder "Easy big guy, you don't want to waste your energy on him right?" You could still feel the tension between Hugo and the boys. He was watching them like a hawk. "Let's move, this way" After a thirty-minute walk, I saw a rooftop. "Guys get down" I sneaked up the path and scanned the area through my rifle scope. I waved them over. "Okay how are we going to do this, I don't know where the walkers and robots are, nor what's inside." Hank stood up and sprinted towards a few bushes and could just as easily have yelled and waved to the robots and walkers, with the noise he was making. "He's going to get us all killed" Nicholas scoffed at my disapproving tone. "Hank is a pretty smart guy" Nicholas sprinted after Hank. Hugo grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the ground. Walkers... Hank and Nicholas disappeared into the bushes and we waited 10 minutes for the path to clear. There was a lonely walker by the entrance. Hugo sprinted towards the boys and got them up on their feet. "Okay, here's the deal. We go in in two groups. One group searches for the equipment and the other for the medicine. Is this clear?" Everyone nodded "Nicholas and I go together and Hank and Brooke go together. Nicholas and I will find the equipment and carry it towards the entrance, that is our meeting spot. We meet back there in 2 hours. Whoever is done early can try to contact base. Be safe." I sprinted towards the door and snapped the walker's head. Hank was almost stepping on my feet, as close as he was. I looked at the signs but didn't make much out of it, Hank had better luck. He found a map and pointed out where the medicine was. The building was unstable. There was a whole hallway blocked. "You can squeeze through there, you're thin enough" "Yeah and what about you?" "I'll cover for your sweet ass, just keep me posted. I won't go anywhere" I tried to squeeze through it but I had to take my rifle off. When I was on the other side Hank gave me my rifle and his backpack and wished me luck. I was in full stealth mode, but got surprised by a walker anyway. He pushed me against the wall and tried to rip my head off. I was pushing him off and punched him in the ribs. There were four more walkers coming "Bloody hell" I slid through the walker's legs and stabbed him in the back with my pocket knife, it turned around like an angry bee and launched for me. I got a crowbar out of Hank's backpack and smashed it in its head. Two of the four walkers were very fast. I managed to get the crowbar out of the walker's head and ran towards the incoming walkers. I must have looked like a savage, I put all my power in my strikes. I threw my other knife to a slow walker and hit it in the eye "Still one left" I was out of breath. I wished I could use my gun but it would only attract more trouble... One grabbed my leg and pulled me to the ground. I kicked it in the face but it got a hold of my shoe and ripped it off with its filthy teeth. "That's just disgusting mate" I knocked him down and smashed its head until it was unrecognizable. I collected my knives and walked more cautious than ever.

After looking in almost every fucking room on this wing I found the medicine we were looking for. I grabbed my backpack and Hank's and stuffed them with all I could find. "Let's get the fuck out of this creepy place" I turned around and saw robots and walkers coming from every direction. "It's never going to be easy, is it?!" I crouched and sat with my back against the wall. I had to warn Hank. I hate situations like this. A group of five robots strolled in the same room as I was in. Fuck me. I ran out of the door, aware of the robots and walkers seeing me and sprinted for my life. "Hank get your ass moving we've got company!" "Stay on that side, they're here too! AH" "Fuck!" I grabbed a door handle, opened it and jumped in. I barricaded the door and looked for an escape. The vents! I quickly grabbed a chair and helped myself up. The door was smashed open and robots filled the room. One of them threw a metal pin in my left shoulder. "Fuck!" I got in the vent but a robot grabbed my bad leg. "AARGHH let go!" I kicked it with my other foot and smashed my head to a metal pipe in the process. I crawled like hell to get out of there. When I reached the end, I got out as soon as possible. I was standing in a room full of walkers. "Well shit" I grabbed my rifle and prepared myself to bust every motherfucker I could. Hank got in and shot almost every walker with his shotgun. "Get the hell out of here" he showed me his bitemark on his arm. "Hank look out" I grabbed my rifle but I wasn't fast enough to prevent the walker from biting in Hanks neck, it was bad, it had damaged his artery. He tried to stop the bleeding but it was too much, he pushed me aside and fell on the floor. He shot himself in the head before the walkers jumped onto him. I was shocked. I turned around and made a run for it.

I ran towards the control room and tried to find a phone. When I finally found one I dialed the number of our commanding officer. "This is team Bravo, you have got to send a helicopter towards our location! We crashed." "...." "Hello?" "..." Goddamnit useless piece of shit, I put the phone in my pocket anyway. I ran as fast as I could to our meeting spot and got my rifle ready. There was quite the bit of equipment there. I could see Hugo and Nicholas coming in fast so I grabbed all I could carry without having to lose my rifle. Hugo and Nicholas were out of breath but had to grab the heaviest equipment there while I was shooting every motherfucker I saw. I felt a tap on my shoulder, got up and walked out the door still shooting. Hugo slammed the door shut and got the bloody crowbar out of my backpack and jammed it. "Where's Hank?" I shook my head and he understood. We ran towards the crash site. Everyone sat down and tried to catch their breath. "Well you don't look so good" I gave Nicholas my 'shut up now or I'll show you' face and he put his hands in the air. "Where's Hank?" Nicholas asked in distress "We had to split up, he got bitten, I'm sorry." Larry's face fell apart and he sat down with his hands in his hair. "You should have had his back, you bitch. What kind of lousy sniper are you?!". "He's just angry that he lost his best friend, he didn't mean that" "Hugo don't". I gave the phone to Hugo and he dialed the same number repeatedly. "Team Bravo, a chopper is on its way, what's your status?" "Few scratches but we'll live, lost four men, our pilots and two-" "AAAAH" "Nicholas!" I jumped by the sound of that scream full of pain. I ran towards the sound and saw Nicholas with a badly broken leg. The robots were pulling his arms and legs. I aimed my rifle and shot one, but it was too late. Nicholas was quartered. I was a disgusting sight. Hugo fired a shot and it woke me and I shot the last two. "Brooke cmon there's nothing we can do" "But he" "Nope" I let Hugo take me.

After two hours of complete silence and watching out for cranks the chopper finally arrived. Two soldiers got out and put the stuff in. They helped me and Hugo get up and let us sit down in the heli. I was disgusted. Everything happened in slow-motion and my sight was blurry. It was very frightening, it all felt real, but I was paralyzed. One of the soldiers got a syringe and injected me. I woke up laying on Hugo's shoulder and he fumbled with my hair. "Wake up princess" I groaned and sat upright. All the sudden I felt nauseous and dizzy. "You okay?" I shook my head and tried to control my breathing. I got out of the chopper as soon as it was safe and ran towards a few bushes. I threw up. "You're okay, I got you. Now let's get you to Sam okay?" Sam checked all of us and I had a concussion, a sprained ankle a few bruised ribs and a wound on my left shoulder. He gave Hugo instructions of waking me every now and then to check if I was all right. Hugo had a few bruises and one deep cut on his stomach but could go with some painkillers. "Is Madison back yet?" "No, I don't think so. But she should be soon. Now go and get some sleep, both of you" "Thanks Sam, will do"

"Goodnight princess" "Goodnight big guy"
