In the Apocalypse

No Mercy

"Hey, guys, look what I found." 10K said, walking up from behind us from looking around.

"Shh." Warren shhed him. He looked forward to see the zombies running to us. "Puppies and kittens." There were a bunch of zombies in front of us.

Warren pulled out her machete to get ready to kill them. The others prepared their weapons they had. I pulled out my sword machetes to kill them with.

As they got close, we started killing zombies. I moved over by 10K. He got zombies that were further away and I took care of zombies that got too close.

After it was over, we went over by Murphy. I put my sword machetes away in their sheaths on my back. Warren was cleaning her machete. Murphy put his daughter ,which he named Lucy, in our make shift carrier ,which was a cooler for lunches.

"Where'd this come from?" Murphy asked. I followed Murphy's line of sight. I saw that it was a little boy. He had long messy hair. His clothes were all torn up.

"Get away from him. I found him." 10K snapped at Murphy.

"Was anybody with him?" I asked.

"He said something about a doctor." 10K answered.

"The man gonna kill him." The boy spoke up. His voice was high but rough ,like he doesn't talk much.

"What?" Addy asked.

The boy grabbed 10K by his jacket. "He's gonna kill 'em!" The boy raised his voice. He let go of 10K and looked at everyone else. "You kill man." He said pointing at all of us.

"No, no, no. We no kill man. We on mission. Scram, kid." Murphy snapped. The kid cawed at him. Yes, cawed. Like a crow. "Did he just caw at me?"

"Murphy, get Lucy some water." Warren told him. Warren looked at Doc. "Can you get this one some too?" Doc went through his bag.

"I got it ,Warren." I told her ,pulling out my water. "You thirsty ,sweetheart?" I asked him.

He took the bottle from me when I held it out. He put his face to it but he couldn't get water from it. I furrowed my brows in confusion. Well, this kid was really young when this started. He probably doesn't know how to drink from that bottle.

He got frustrated and threw the bottle. I walked over and grabbed it.

"Kid doesn't even know how to drink from a cup." Doc said solemnly.

"Must've been four or five when this all started. Apocalypse is all he knows." Warren spoke up. Warren stepped forward to talk to him. "Where's your mama and papa?"

"Just sister." The boy said.

"Okay. Is she with the others? The ones that are in trouble?" Warren asked.

"The man will kill 'em if the doctor won't talk to 'em." The boy told her.

"Doctor? Who's this doctor?" Addy asked.

"Did I mention that we're on a mission?" Murphy asked rudely.

"Yeah, and we have Lucy to think about too." Doc stated.

"Well, we can't let some man kill a bunch of people." I spoke up, surprising myself.

"Sure we can. We do it all the time." Murphy argued.

"I vote we help the kid." 10K spoke up.

"You know I'm gonna agree with him." I spoke up again.

"As much as it pains me to say it, Blue Face is right. We're on a mission." Warren said. 10K looked away in disappointment. I looked away as well.

She was going to leave people to die. Murphy's not really worth it. He's kind of an ass. And there's a kid right in front of us from here. There could be more. If my kid was there, I'd want someone to help.
