Fear the Roaming Dead

Executions (chapter 28)

Dex sat in the cell shirtless. His stitches were exposed and his scarred and bruised back was exposed for all to see. Workers passed by and momentarily grimaced at his look before continuing on with their daily work. Dex had his head hung low. He didn't look up. Wally locked Dex, Tinley, Blaise, and Sam in separate cells. He locked five fighters from Aviana in different cells. The room was cold. Liquid dripped from the ceiling and an empty mug sat in the corner of Dex's cell. His pants were ripped and he awaited whatever was coming. It felt like days since he was put in the cell, when in reality, it was only a couple of hours.

Wally radioed back to Aviana from Blaise's radio. He bragged about victory. Ken tried to retaliate by killing Jenna live over the radio. It only angered Wally even more. He dragged random fighters from random cells over to Dex's cell. He put guns to their head.

"You can't be that stubborn, Dexter. Tell me I own you or else I kill this man." Wally growled holding his colt cobra to a fighter's head. He quivered in fear. "P-Please, Dexter. Do it! Just tell him! Let me live!" he cried out. Dex's stubbornness only rose through more. "You are Wally and you will not kill me." Dex yelled.

Blood splattered all over the wall in front of him. The fighter dropped dead and Wally wiped the blood speckles off his cheek. Wally grumbled and pointed at the body. His soldiers dragged away the body down the hallway. Wally stood up and rubbed his fingers on the bar. Blood smeared down as he did. Dex continued avoiding eye contact with him. Wally smirked. "You know Dex, if you had just listened to me beforehand, then you would not be in this situation right now." Wally said. Dex didn't talk.

"You realize by avoiding eye contact with me that you are subconsciously telling me that I am, in fact, the dominant male here? Is that right?" Wally yelled banging on the iron bars. Dex jumped to his feet and bolted towards the iron bars. He slammed against them with pure rage. Wally jumped back and flinched. Dex's teeth showed and he seemed to be foaming at the mouth. Bubbled saliva oozed from his mouth. "You are not the dominant male. I will get out of this cell and I will murder you." Dex growled. Wally flipped him off. "I don't think you will, Dexter." Wally said with a tear building in his eye.

"We were best friends. Why did you do this." Wally asked. Dex clamped onto the bars even harder. "You're asking me why I did this!? You went all psycho and are torturing people just for doing petty crimes! You betrayed Norridge and tried to kill everyone in Aviana! You deserve to be killed!" Dex shrieked. He kicked on the bars and rubbed his arms. "Let me out of this cell and it will be the last thing you ever do." Dex roared.

Wally put his hand on his chest. His face got red and his eyes got wet. He looked down and crossed his arms over his sides. He took a deep breath and exhaled. "You know what?" Wally asked. "Screw it." he said. His guilt turned to unbridled rage. He looked to his soldier. "Get me Tinley." he said. Both soldiers nodded. Dex shook the bars even harder. The screws holding them in rattled as if they were going to fall out. Wally jumped back in fear. "Don't!" he yelled. Dex shook like an animal. "Touch her and I will rip your intestines out and use them as a jump rope!" he screeched.

Wally put his hands in his pockets. "No, you won't. Because I'm putting her in your cell." Wally said calmly. Dex stopped shaking the bars and sweat rolled down his temple. "Hurry up." he said firmly. Wally smiled and nodded fakely. "Sure will, Dexter." he said. Dex turned around and let go of the bars. He sat against the back of the cell, facing the cell door.

Tinley came with handcuffs. Two soldiers escorted her down by holding her arms. She struggled and kicked at the soldiers. It took minutes to keep her down. Wally stepped forward and unlocked the cell door. He swung it open and the guards unlocked the handcuffs. They threw her in and Wally quickly slammed the door behind her.
