Not The Last Of Us

Chapter 19

Chapter 19-  It looks pretty old

( Quilla's P.O.V.)  

" How long is this all going to take?" Ellie asked. 

" If everything goes as planned, we should get you to them in a few hours," Tess said. " Ellie, once we get out there, I need you to follow our lead and stay close." 

" Yeah, of course."  

" Watch out how you come out,"  Uncle Joel said as he started climbing a metal latter that lead to our exit. " There are some shards in the top sticking out." 

" This is why I hate small spaces." I said. 

" You claustrophobic?" Ellie asked. 

" A little, you?"  

" Depends on how small it is." 

" Hold up, there's a patrol up ahead." Uncle Joel said, as his head peeked out from under the plank that was covering our exit. " Alright they're gone, come on up." 

" Oh, that's cold." I said as some rain went down my shirt. 

" Thought you liked the rain?" Tess asked. 

" Not if it's going straight into my bra." 

" It's defiantly ain't doing us any good."  Uncle Joel said.  

" Holy shit... I'm actually outside." Ellie said. 

" I would take some picture's, but someone broke my camera." 

" Careful when you're walking up this thing." Uncle Joel told us as he entered a back of an 18 wheeler that leads up to where we were going.  

" Hold up, shouldn't I scope the place out before we go up. What if that patrol's still ahead?" 

" Their's no way you would get a good angle, just be careful when you get out."

 As soon as Uncle Joel stuck his head out, he was hit with the but of someone's gun, resulting in him being half dragged by a soldier to the right side of the car lot. 

" Don't do anything stupid," A female officer told us, as we had our hands up and was exiting the truck. " Turn around, and get on your knee's. You scan em' and I'll call it in." 

I was getting fidgety, and so was Ellie. 

Something was up. 

Tess was first, and I could see Ellie getting ready to strike with her switch, so I did the same.  

As soon as she was scanned, she stabbed the guy in the right leg, then I finished him off. 

 Uncle Joel tackled the other one and Tess took out the one that was getting ready to shoot Uncle Joel.

" Oh, shit," Tess said as she looked at the scanner then tossed it to Uncle Joel. " Look." 

" Jesus Christ," He said, then looked at Ellie. " Marlene set us up?" 

He looked at Tess, then at Ellie. " Why are we smuggin' and infected girl?" 

"I'm not infected." Ellie said. 

" No?" 

Uncle Joel tossed the scanner at her. " Is this lying?" 

" I can explain." 

" You better explain fast." 

She pulled up her shirt and reviled the bite. 

It looked almost healed over. " Look at this." 

" I don't care how you got infected." Uncle Joel said. 

" It's three weeks old." 

" No," Tess said. " Everyone turns within two days, so you stop your bullshitting." 

" It's three weeks, I swear. Why would she set you up?" 

" It does look old, guys," I told them as I looked at it. " And if it had been delayed, she would have already shown signs."
