After driving for what seemed like forever Nick eventually stopped and put his hands on his head "The sarge, Susan, Johnny they're all dead and we left em." Jamie could obviously tell that he was freaking out since he was reaching for his flask and gently touched his hand. "Nick, listen to me we couldn't do anything we need to tell the president what happened it's the only option we have left." He turned to look at her. "What about the French people they won't stand a chance against those damn hell monsters?" She let out a sigh before continuing. "Your new and I understand that but I was once a spy for the militia our branch known as the shadow stalkers, grunts such as the sarge and his friend lieutenant Shawn macnovintosh dislike us in the sense that we are considered cowards in their eyes. Sarge's pride would be his downfall and it will also be Shawn's the best we can do for the people of France is to warn the president whats happened here today." There was a figure behind them and when it spoke its low voice startled them both. "My pride shall be my downfall? Are you sure about that?" Jackie jumped when she turned to see who it was, "agh! Lie-lieutenant MacNovintosh glad to see your sir how long have you been here?" Shawn let out a low growl. "Long enough to know my best friend is dead and typical of you spies you want to run away then face this enemy head on." Nick came to Jackie's defense speaking calmly to Shawn. "Sir I understand that you want revenge and to do nothing better but to fight to your last breath but three of our friends went in, militia members like you and me the elite of the elite and god killed by those creatures we would share the same fate with we tried fighting them." Shawn took in a deep breath before softening his tone. "Sorry it's just I've been on my own for a while so I don't really trust spies a lot right now you are amazing fighters but my issue with you is the fact you hide in the shadows waiting for the enemy to come to you. Anyways these creatures were they the product of the virus that broke out?" They were both taken back, they've heard stories of Shawn being a cold son of a bitch who never is really this kind to someone. But they were also surprised by what happened to him, his once buzz cut dusty brown blond hair long, a patch of gauze and medical tape over his right eye and multiple scars cross crossing his face. "yes sir it is, their savages it's as if they are purely ambush predators." Shawn chuckled at how they were acting, "you might have wondered what happened to my eye. Well I lost it because a fucker tried stabbing me in the face but gouged my eye out. I should hopefully get a cybernetic soon but I don't know." They both stared at him before speaking. "Well sir since you out rank both of us what's our next move?" Nick asked snapping to attention. "Well, we need to get back to the states inform the president as you said then try evacuating as many people from here to either America or Canada then we'll come back to that building with a shit ton of troops and try to gather as much info on this virus as possible and if we can get a sample of a infected." They both snapped to attention before getting back in as Nick and Jamie got in the front and he sat in the back. Later on Shawn informed Nick of a the location of a near by air base that they can take a helicopter from.
