Zombie Apocalypse with teens

Chapter 13

  I knew that I couldn't tell anyone about it, unless I had a plan, because he could easily take us out with his army of white robed minions, otherwise known as scientists. He was simply too strong for only 3 of us, unless I could do...

  The idea popped in my head and I couldn't resist. It was simple, but extremely dangerous, and could end up in my death. But I had to try. First, I would bring myself, and tell them to go on a run. I would then find a scientist, get his supplies, and walk into the building. Third, I would call a meeting to attention, tell them that this is wrong, get them to turn their back on Zack, and save the world.

  One complication: How was I supposed to change all of their minds without them killing me?

  I decided not to listen to my instincts, and I brought on my courage. I wanted to bring back the world I lived in, and I wanted to live it. I had to do this, not for myself, but for the people affected. I would avenge my family's death, and anyone else's.

  Troy, Rose, and Zack went on the run as planned, and my plan was going to be executed perfectly. I brought supplies with me, food, water, and a few items that I needed to feel at home. 

  I set out on foot, killing a few zombies on the way, running away from others. Getting to the lab was a challenge in itself, and it was not easy. The few things I brought with me weighed down my bag, and I still needed to get back before night. I didn't think I would sleep in the lab.

  Walking on the road, I began to think of the past. The world today was so different, so dead, because of Zack. No wonder he was wandering around alone, he did this for a living. And he didn't care about anyone but himself. He would sacrifice anyone to get what he wanted, and I was scared for Rose.

  When I got to the lab, I knew that I had to work fast. I found a scientist, eating what looked like a sandwich, and I took off, around the shed, and worked diligently to not get caught. I dressed in the clothes, adjusted my hair, left my duffle bag safely hidden, and went in.

  The inside of the laboratory was just as I expected. Full of people. It wouldn't take long until they realized I wasn't from here, because I didn't look nearly as groomed. I decided I would go to a bathroom, and luckily, it was just one, so I had time.

  In the bathroom, I searched for anything I could use to protect myself. In order to execute this plan, I needed something besides a knife, so I settled on making a toilet paper rope, as best I could. It would help at least to hold some people off, but I heard voices outside.

  "Did you bring the specimens?" asked a woman.

  "I didn't, they are out running to get supplies, but one of the girls is gone. I suspect she is the one hiding." said a man.

  "She must not get in here, because these scientists change their opinions very fast." said the woman.

  "I will make sure she doesn't, let's get back to work." said the man.

  I sunk to my feet, and I knew it had to be Zack, but the woman intrigued me. It couldn't be Rose, since he said that the specimens were out running to get supplies, so obviously that was Troy and Rose.

  I decided on getting multiple of those toilet paper ropes, and brought them with me to defend myself. I knew that this plan was dangerous, but with him here, it just became a lot more complicated than to begin with.

  I quickly cleaned and groomed myself appropriately, and packed some soap incase I would need it, you never know.

  I opened the door, and am greeted with a horrible sight. They are taking apart a zombies brain, and checking their level of understanding. It must've been to see how they could manipulate them to do what Zack wanted. I had to stop this.

  I located the control room, and a speaker. Apparently the girl I took supplies from was the speaker, so the room was unguarded.

  I sit down in the chair, and lock Zack's room, and set out to find the names of all the girls in the building. I look down at my nametag to see what my name is, cross that name out, and their is only one more girl's name. Sarah Higgins.

  I knew her from school, always the top one in math and science, and always acting like she owned school. I always knew their was something different about her, and now it makes sense. She was planning on controlling everyone, just like she wanted. 

  I locked her office, and hoped she was in there. I turned off the speaker in Zack's office, and hers. I turned on the speaker, and began talking.

  "Attention, this is an important matter we are talking about, please stop what you are doing at this time."

  I continued, "I am here today to tell you to make a serum. A serum that turns all zombies back to humans, and the dead, back alive. Zack, the mastermind, has been using your abilities to rule the living. I am a girl that he met, and a specimen accordingly, I need you to understand. Has he ever done anything for you? Has he ever told you how good of work you all have done? Ever brought something other than zombies? Or ever told you what this plan was for?"

  Silence was the only thing I could hear. My point got across, because they all dropped their coats, and began breaking the serum's, and supervisors shouting to do orders on fixing the serums. I called security, so that we could take Zack down to a prison, as well as Sarah.

  My plan worked, but one thing was still in my mind, where did he leave Troy and Rose?
