The Dead Rise

Chapter 41

After a month of his group working for Dalton, Carter is ready to do something about it.
"I'm ready to show him I'm still alive, just to prove to him that he's not gonna win." Carter said to Skylar
"No Carter he's gonna kill you." Skylar said
"He already tried" Carter said
The sound of trucks rolling in came from outside. Carter walked outside followed by Skylar, Noah, and Jake.
The group stood at the gates with Carter in front with his new eye patch leaning on his cane. The trucks drove through the gate and Dalton jumped out.
"Well look who it is. I believe they told me you were dead." Dalton said
"You can't kill me." Carter said walking toward dalton with his cane
"Well I clearly crippled you." Dalton said
Carter stood straight up and threw the cane away.
"Nope." Carter said
"Okay then, we'll since you guys clearly lied to me about him being alive. Not that I'm scared of him or anything but I do not like liars. Carter knows just ask him." Dalton said
"Well you just keep doing what your doing, I'm not here to stop that i just wanted you to know that I am still here." Carter said
"Well Thank you Carter I will continue right after I punish you for lying." Dalton said
"Go ahead punish me all you want." Carter said
"No, I clearly can't kill you but I can kill someone you love." Dalton said
Dalton walked toward us and started looking at everyone.
"Listen here's what I'm gonna do. As much as I do not want to do this you have forced me Carter. I'm gonna kill your son." Dalton said
"No! Don't hurt Noah!" Carter yelled
"You shouldn't have lied." Dalton said
He grabbed Noah. Carter started to move and then one of Dalton's group put a gun to his chest
"Dad!" Noah yelled
Dalton pulled him in front of everyone. And grabbed his baseball bat throwing it to the side. Dalton pulled out his gun and put it to Noah's head.
"Do something!" Skylar yelled
"I can't!" Carter said starting to cry
"Boohoo Carter we've all lost someone at some point you have to get used to it." Dalton said
"Please." Carter said
Dalton brought the gun down.
"Ok Carter ill reason with you. Edge come here." Dalton said
Dalton brought Edge to the middle.
"I won't shoot your son if you bash Edge's head in with your sons baseball bat." Dalton said
"No!" Carter yelled
Edge nodded at Carter.
"Save you boy Carter, I've had my run." Edge said
Carter walked out and grabbed Noah's baseball bat.
"Nice choice, get on your knees Edge." Dalton said
Carter walked in front of Edge.
"Take care of him, teach him to lead like you so he can carry on my legacy and yours." Edge said
"I'm sorry." Carter said pulling up the bat
He swung the bat down and hit Edge in the head. Edge fell down and blood was running out of his head.
"Lead on." He said in a gargled hard to understand voice
Carter slammed down again flattening Edge's skull he kept swinging getting Edge's blood all over him.
Dalton was laughing behind him. Carter swung around as hard as he could and hit Dalton in the side of the face with the bat.
