Fear the Roaming Dead

Trouble in Paradise (chapter 23)

"How the- What!?" Dex screamed pointing at Wally. Every person turned to look at the scene that was unfolding. Wally leaned to his left and set his pancakes on a nearby plate. He stood up straight and smiled with a triumphant victory. "You really think that big truck left undetected?" Wally chuckled quietly. "You're a bigger idiot than I initially realized." Wally said crossing his arms. Dex reached for his desert eagle. Wally held up his finger. "Hold it there, Dexter. No guns allowed in the recreational hall." Wally said. Dex scoffed. "You think that's gonna stop me!?" Dex yelled drawing the heavy pistol and aiming it at Wally's chest. His finger squeezed the trigger only to be pulled down by someone behind him. The bullet popped into the floor and the sound echoed through the hall.

Kids started to cry and some adults stood up in defense. Dex spun around and Kenneth Buckley was standing behind him. Ken shook his head no and snatched the pistol from Dex's sweaty and red hand. "I don't care if you have had history with him. He is under our supervision and that is enough!" Ken yelled glaring in Dex's eyes. "You don't know what he did to me! He gashed my back to the point of where I couldn't walk on my own!" Dex yelled with a tear building up in his eye. He pushed Ken a little bit.

Dex's eyes widened. "Unless you kill him now, your community will suffer." Dex pointed at Wally and screamed louder. "He ruined our community! He's after this one!" Dex stepped back and snatched the desert eagle from Ken. He aimed it back at Wally. "I have to do this and I don't care about the repercussions." Dex said squeezing the trigger. He heard the haunting faint clicking sound of a blank fire. The hammer tried firing a bullet but there was no bullet to fire. Suddenly, Dex felt a hot needle jab into his neck. The recreational hall begun spinning and his eyes got blurry. He heard a faint female voice before blacking out.

"I say we cast him out. He's been here a day and he's already fired a bullet." said the unfamiliar womanly voice. "Katelyn, you fire a bullet the first hour you were here. At me!" he heard the familiar voice that made his spine crawl.

Dex's eyes jerked awake. He noticed the iron bars in front of him and Theodore James standing in front of it. A smaller petite female was standing next to him. She wore a long white sweater, short jeans, sneakers, and her hair was brown and long. She had her arms crossed a a visible glock seventeen at her side.

"You're awake. Good." Theo said rubbing his hand on the bars. Katelyn took a syringe out of her back pocket and presented it to Dex. "This is what I stabbed you with and I am not afraid to do it again." she growled. Dex shifted to his knees. He scrambled to his feet and sprinted at the iron bars. He collided quickly with them and he shook them violently. "You have to listen to me! That new guy is evil! He is! Believe me!" Dex shrieked with pure anger. He kicked at the bars and he punched walls.

"You know, you're a lot more controllable when you don't have people on your side." Theo said reaching into his back pocket. He pulled out a set of keys. He held them up to Dex's prison cell and jingled them a little bit. "Kenny boy said that if you behave yourself then I can let you out." Theo said in a jerk like tone. Dex held his arm out of the iron bars and tried to snatch the keys from Theo. "You're gonna give them to me now." he yelled. Theo backed up along with Katelyn. "This hoe is spicy." Theo said. Katelyn leaned on Theo and looked at Dex intensely.

"You know, Mr. Luxford. You remind me of someone," she looked at Theo then looked back at Dex with confusion. "I just can't put my finger on it." she said. Katelyn stood up and walked out of the cell room. Theo laughed and dropped the keys onto the floor. He waved at Dex. "Toodles." he said following Katelyn out of the room.

Dex drew back and punched the iron bars with all his might. He let out a thundering roar and he dropped to his knees in pain. Blood trickled from his hand and he rubbed his hands through his hair. He curled into a ball and started to cry.
