The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

The Patriots Part Final

Mason sits at the table eyeing all the people around him and hears the question

"mason, what do we do now?"

Mason sits still and another person comments

"the president he's infected then the line of succession goes to the next highest government official which is Senator Reid until we confirm he is dead he is priority. we should get a team out there and confirm if he's alive or dead that is priority right now"

Mason leans forward eyeing the map hung in the room and eyes the markers placed on them showing the infection spreading. He bites his lip and looks over the map as he shakes his head.

"no, we control the people first. not everyone out there is infected some of them can fight we need numbers"

Mason walks out of the room and into his father's office. he opens the door to the balcony and takes the megaphone yelling into it.

"if you want sanctuary, kill the walkers!"

He eyes the people look up to him and he motions down to them nodding his head and sits in a chair eyeing the chaos. Lewis steps out onto the balcony eyeing the large group of survivors surrounded by bodies and eyes the group in the distance covered in military attire. One man steps forward looking up to Lewis and motions with his gun

"sorry we are late"

The patriots eye the survivors in front of them and raise their guns as they fire into the crowd killing the remaining survivors. Mason turns his head sideways staring down the men who motion up to Lewis

"we came as ordered Major Hearst"

Lewis looks down at the men and Mason glances to him commenting

"friends of yours?"

Lewis grins as he nods his head

"patriots"

Lewis turns going to the front doors opening them and eyes the men in military attire walk forward each stopping to salute him as he nods to them. the group open up and he eyes senator Reid who nods to Lewis

"good call, Major Hearst"

Senator Reid walks by him tapping Lewis on the shoulder and fixing his suit as he walks by. He slowly walks towards President Hearst office eyeing the locked door and opens it. Senator Reid walks inside eyeing his dead friend and walks up to him. He looks President Hearst in the eyes and smiles wide

"i warned you but you didn't listen. all it took was one person to create panic and that person destroyed everything"

Senator Reid looks over the walker and nods his head

"but don't you worry friend I won't make your mistakes"

He pulls out a gun and whispers as he places it to the walker's head

"go in peace Hearst"

He pulls back the trigger and shoots the walker in the head killing it. He fixes his suit and places the gun down on the table and walks out of the room. Senator Reid eyes Lewis standing outside the door and pats him on the shoulder

"I am sorry, he turned"

He walks down the hall and into a large meeting room eyeing the people standing at attention. Senator Reid nods to the people and walks up to the map eyeing it and nods his head concluding.

"elimination is our objective we wipe the walkers one state at a time than we set up a new base of government"

*****************************************************

Lewis stands staring at his dead father and hears Mason

"he was bit he didn't want you to know till you had to know"

Lewis stares down his father and shakes his head

"he shouldn't have been out there he's a politician"

Mason walks up to his side eyeing the dead walker as he comments

"he was your dad first, he cared about your safety, he did what he had to do, and he didn't regret it"

Mason places his hand on Lewis's shoulder and nods to him as Lewis comments

"i want to bury him"

Mason nods his head and motions to two soldiers who come in dragging the body off as Mason comments

"we will bury him wherever you want Lewis"

Lewis steps outside eyeing the dead walkers and steps over the bodies pointing to a line of trees

"by the trees"

The soldiers all walk off and begin digging as Lewis stares down eyeing his father's dead body. He grips his hand in a fist but stops hearing a voice.

"Major Hearst?"

He turns back eyeing the men in military attire and the man salutes him

"senator Reid informed us we were to report to you directly. The patriots are at your command"

Lewis looks over his father and the soldier comes up to his side.

"Senator Reid informed us our objective still stands to find a cure and as we do to eliminate as many walkers as possible"

Lewis nods his head and looks back to his father's body and motions to the men burying him

"don't bury him, transfer his body to the tent we will continue our examination of the virus. It's our mission and my father will be the first. Collect all the bodies that shows signs of infection I want them all lined up. One by one we examine them"

Lewis turns back eyeing the large army of men lined up and eyes them over he nods to them and walks inside the estate. He slowly walks around examining the area and stops hearing Senator Reid

"he did things his way and I do things my way. He thought he could trust the people but the people panic, they don't get it"

Lewis steps inside the room and eyes the group of people gathered around a large table with Senator Reid sitting in the middle. He steps inside eyeing the large map with red markers and turns to Senator Reid

"we are gonna clear it, all of it, like my father wanted"

Senator Reid glances up to Lewis and nods his head asking

"but what do you want?"

Lewis looks over the map and eyes the markers as he nods his head

"i am gonna get rid of it, all of it. No more walkers, no more disease. We will find the cure that is our job, our mission"

Senator Reid gets up from his chair and walks up next to Lewis eyeing the map as he nods his head

"than that's what your job will be. The patriots are yours to control I'm not a solider but I trust you, your family. we all are"

Lewis looks over the people in the room and watches Mason walk in as a woman hands him a book and motions to Senator Reid who Mason steps towards. The woman speaks

"today we bare witness to the swearing in of the new President of the untied states"

The woman motions to Mason who holds out a book to his father and motions down to it and his father places his hand on the book as mason looks him over. The woman nods to Mason and turns back motioning to the men in the room.

"we will all bare witness to this day. Mason, since your technically the only lawyer in this room I appoint you capable of affirming the office as you did with President Hearst"

Mason motions down to the book and his father keeps his hand still as he nods to his son. Mason nods to his father and looks down to his hand and back up to his dad who nods.

"it's alright I can handle it"

Mason nods to his father and speaks.

"then repeat after me"
