"You're going to be alright Hope. Evrything's gonna be okay." I say to her as she passes. I think to myself that everything will be better for her on the otherside and that atleast she won'r have to live in this disgusting world anymore.
But it still hurts. I couldn't stop myself from crying. "Fuck!" I exclaimed as I sobbed some more. After a couple minutes, I got myself together and wiped my tears. Okay, you've got to get yourself together and get back to Owe. I searched her body got all the stuff I needed and headed back to the previous cadavre tosearch some more.
I explored his body and found a letter. Behind it was a message in a bottle adressed to the white house. The letter wrote:
If you are reading this, Hi. My name is Sam and I'm twenty-seven years old. Before all this bullshit started I was an employee at the national security building here. I was in charge of wrtting official letters to bigger citites. It was a shit job. If I had known all this was going to happen, I would've just become an dancer like I've always wanted. Anyways, clearly if you are reading this I am dead. Now, there's is no need to mourn over me since you do not know me. But there is a need to follow my exact orders since this could save us (you guys now) all. This was my job so I do know what I am talking about. You need to head to my old job located at 397 Sunburst avenue. Head inside the headquaters to the 8th floor and follow the hallway on your left. LEFT. Do not go right.This is very important. If you do they will most likely see you and kill you. Also, when you get to the building do not be an idiot and head up the big OBVIOUS door at the main entrance, go through the service door or through the garbade shoot. Anyways, after you go through the left hallway you're gna come across a room with 3 doors go through the first one, then you'll be in the office where I work (used to). Now you're going head straight across to this area that looks like storage lockers. hint: it's not. Its a stairway going up. go all the way up and onto the roof. Now you're going to have to act fast and do this at the break of dawn when everybody watching the cameras are most likely to be asleep. There is a message shoot around the back of the roof. I looks like a satelite but its a message missle. Pop that message in there, reach under the shoot and click THE FIRST BUTTON. Don't wait for it to go off or anything, just get the fuck off the roof. It'll go off for sure with a big bang, waking and alerting everyone but it cannot be stopped and a message will be sent towards Europe. It will aler them and hopefully save the rest of us left alive in this shit hole.As for you, leave the same way you came, closing all the doors behind you and get the hell out of there. When you're outside of the building. You're going to have to hide and wait it out for a couple of hours. Go to 56 Tunnel street. It's all I can tell you about it. It should be safe. If you're smart you'll figure out how to get in.
Good luck, don't fuck this up.
Humanity is in your hands,
Sam
Ps : Here, use this knife. It's my favorite knife.
I was no idiot. I took the knife and cut of his finger. His bag contained a container of dried ice so I dropped it in that. I pat him on the shoulder one last time "Thanks bud, you did great."
And headed off to find Owen.
