The Risen

Chapter Ten

Captured!
Jayce Slade

Maybe we weren't supposed to read those letters last night, what did they mean? Who was the letters talking about? Brothers? A leader? A wolf?

And the weridest part is that the man knew Ryder, and even claims to have been the one who got him bitten.

We probably would've been better off had we not read them, part of me wishes we didn't then we would've gotten some sleep.

Maya and I were talking about it, wondering what it could mean and who was this "Creator" and what did he create? Was he the reason the zombie plague started? And has the plague gone global? If so he is the creator. He's the Creator of man's possible extinction event.

Ryder only spoke up when we mentioned his name, he mostly hung in the back with Max.

Dante and Rielly could care less what was on those letters, and although we got the occasionly pipe up from James for the most part it was just Maya and I.

We were on the road once again, trying to find, I dunno Dante's dream home I guess.

Honestly I doubt we'll be able to find anything that hasn't been taken over, and although we could probably take on a smaller group head to head not sure what we would do agasint a Fort Black or another community out there.

"So, what were you before all this?" Ryder asked Max from behind Maya and I.

Max was alert, and without looking in Ryder's direction he answered.
"I worked as a scientists assistant" Max replied.

James slowed down to stand next to Max, apparently something caught his attention.

"What kind of Scientist?" James asked Max.

Max looked from James on his left and Ryder in his right, smiled and answered.

"Professor C, he was always working on werid stuff though​, I don't really care what he did I got paid quite nicely."

Maya turned her head and asked.
"What kind of werid stuff? More werid then the cures that Major Skeleton made for Ryder and I?"

Max nodded his head.

"Much, at least the cures make sense for Surivial and stuff. The Professor was working on teleportation, destinys and werid things...I dunno he was kinda like one of those werid old mad scientist that you see in movies that made frankinstien or something" Max laughed.

The rest of us (but Dante and Rielly) smiled at the thought, although I wasn't sure what the others were thinking, a movie would be nice right now. I would die for some popcorn, air conditioning and just a good story to take my mind off the horrors of the world right now.

"Here" Dante spoke from up front, we all walked up to him and settled down on the road, we setup a fire and another empty can, wire systems in between a series of cars that we pushed together.

We all sat down around the fire, and started to cook a few cans of beef

"I've been reading more of the Majors letters, and the rest don't really say much else other then the cure formula, which we have enough cures to last us months. However it's always good to have the formula in case we want to make more" Maya spoke.
Dante took off his bag and pulled out a 6 pack of beer.

"Who wants one?" He asked.

Rielly raised his hand and took one, opening it and taking a long sip.

Max and Ryder also took one.

"Jayce?" Ryder asked.

I shook my head.
"Someone's gotta keep watch"
