Mark snuggled into Jacks chest happy to have him back. Even if he did look... Different. He still loved him the same. Jack looked behind him and began to run with Mark in his arms. "What are you running for?"
"My eye picked up 2 heat signatures, I didn't come alone." Jack didn't look down, instead stopping and stomping his left foot twice. Rocket boots clanged over his feet and he jetted off with Mark in his arms.
"Can you tell who?" Mark questioned yelling loudly over the rocket boots.
"Bob and Wade" Jack yelled. Mark panicked, he knew they want his blood, not Jacks.
The chase carried on for a solid ten minutes before either of them spoke. Mark held his arms around Jacks neck to stay in his arms and not fall out. Mark looked up ahead trying not to look at the chasers behind.
Jack kept looking back at them to see if they had gained ground then looked forward then down at Mark in his arms. His face expressionless.
Mark lay confused and scared out of his mind in Jacks arms that he had almost slipped out of a few times.
Jacks jet boots powered them through the rubble at a quick pace, everything rushing past them before either could register what they were.
Mark tightened his arms around Jack and leaned into his body harder feeling the panic flood his body to the point he wanted to cry.
Jack looked down at him with a reassuring smile and patted his back just enough for Mark to know he was trying to comfort him bit not to drop him. Mark fake smiled holding his tears in the best he could, which was working great at this moment as none fell, but he mentally was right now, he screamed in his head freaking out. But what Mark didn't know that Jack could see through the absent minded smile he was weraing, Jack could see he was a frightened Mark with his modified robotic eye picking up his racing heart and emotional state being below happy.
Jacks jets produced and radiated with heat that made Mark sweat, but then again, Mark thought it could of been the fact he was panic sweating by the fact he was also panic cursing multiple times.
Jacks feet hurt feeling the metal heating up and burning his feet, but he couldn't stop, as if he did... They would be dead.
Bob and Wade closed in at a quick pace behind Jack and he knew it too. He broke into a nervous sweat and then tried to power the jets faster at full, he kicked his left foot back and they jolted his body almost making him drop Mark. He was confused, they weren't meant to jolt, instead they were meant to engage smoothly like they had been for the last now fifteen minutes they had been jetting.
"Shite!" Jack yelled as the heat burned his feet and the jets fucked out then started again and repeated this pattern. Jack then realizing his mistake of yelling it when Marks eyes widened in terror and sensed his heart race quicken. He had tried to keep him as calm as possible through this new form of travel Mark was experiencing, knowing that the poor Korean man was already in complete panic mode, now he just made him panic more.Mark's neck snapped from looking at Bob and Wade gaining on them back up to look at Jack who kicked at his own feet. Jack broke into a heavier sweat from his forehead. He also felt the panic.
Jacks face was pale and angry with fear being obvious. Marks panic took full control over his brain.
Jack clenched his jaw tight together yelling 'hurry up' under his breath as he kept looking back at Bob and Wade that gained quicker and quicker than he thought they would.
"Fook! We're fooked if you don't start working mother fookers!"
Marks eyes widened at Jack, terrified seeing him worried and raging, that wasn't a good thing, he was completely oblivious of what was actually wrong."Shit? What do you mean shit?!" Mark yelled flushing of color, panicking his mind out, clinging closer and harder onto Jack than he already was.
"My fookin' jet boots are malfunctioning" Jack clenched his teeth together and kicked his feet together harder with a ringing metal clang that echoed the night.
Jack sighed irritated.
"They're completely fooked out, Mark, as are we soon if they catch up!" Jack cursed at himself knowing they were completely fucked now looking at Bob and Wade, they were hideous beasts now.
Jack remembered back when they were all a team, killing off zombies when the apocalypse first started with small waves of zombies. But the team was slowly killed off, Amy, Wiishu, Tyler... All dead with Ethan missing days before the apocalypse.
But Jack, Bob and Wade had survived the zombies bites.
Some zombies carried infections, others carried disease that attacked your brain and could kill you with their diseases.
Jack had been lucky to only be attacked by all normal and infection carrying zombies, no disease zombies luckily. So he had control of himself, Bob and Wade had been bitten by both zombies. The combination of the zombie bites making what they were the outcome.
This was the sick, twisted game the scientists had created. They had been doing experiments on humans like human labrats, look where that had gotten them now, they had to survive while on what ever was left on the destructed planet while the scientists live in a flying hover dome with everything they needed to survive.
Thats why there was nothing left for the survivors on earth, the scientists had taken it all. They didn't give a single, living fuck about the other life forms on this planet, just their stupid experiments.
They had fucked up big time this time, they caused all this! They had made it that there will be no one left!
Jack snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Mark loudly sob and coughed as it choked him every so often with new sobs that had caught him in an endless loop. He looked down at Mark clung tightly into him, completely shivering in fear, his face was buried deep in Jacks chest terrified in sobbing tears that were warm on Jacks chest as they soaked through his jacket. Jack felt tears in his own eyes, knowing he had failed him miserably.
Jack knew the only reason Bob and Wade followed was to get Mark, and by the looks Mark knew too. It wasn't in him to just ditch Mark in his own problems, he loved Mark too much to do that. His shoulders slumped.
Jacks eye browns knotted together in a facial expression of sympathy, but he was just as worried as him, but difference was Jack was determined even though Mark clearly knew this to be his defeat and downfall.
Jack looked back down at his jet boots puffing out smoke and blue sparking out into the rubble. Watching as Mark lifted his head and looked behind him.
Jack copied him looking over his own shoulder seeing they had gained speed and ground towards them. Now only feet away.
"Im sorry Mark" Mark looked up at Jack with puffy eyes full of tears, his mouth in a sobbing frown. "Im so sorry I-I failed you" Jacks tears fell freely down his cheeks and he continued to look forward. His determination getting the better of him, allowing his tears to fall but not concur him.
Mark looked at them trying to find any trace of who they used to be... But they had completely changed since Mark had last seen them, that was when they were going through the changing. The serum had been enjected... But to his defeat, not in-time. They had blood shot eyes like Jack had when he had turned on him, they had ran off, difference was though, Jack had been dragged off and somehow cured himself. Jack was smarter than the both of them, so he could understand that much.
He scrutinized them like a scientist would to an experiment. He compared his knew view to the old memory of when he had last saw them. They were completely gone, in replacement of their pink white skin, they had black skin like goop. It dripped down their arms and face, infinitely dripping off in chunks and puddles. It dripped everywhere, over and out their mouths, around and out their eyes and sometimes over their eyes. Their eyes were worse to look at compared to the haunting image of glowing zombie eyes in your dreams. Their eyed burned their disturbing image into his barin, they were a brighter glowing purple than the slits in their skin; instead of blood seemed to be a purple slime like flesh.
They called Marks name saying they would kill him and leave no remains for Jack to bury. This hurt Jack and frightened Mark to the point he nearly pissed himself.
