Hope is Dead

Chapter five

Craig looked in the direction of the screaming while Tyler looked at shoes ''Should we meet the guys?'' he asked and looked at him, Tyler shook his head ''It was probably a little kid screaming.'' he said knowing Craig was wondering about it ''Kid's don't scream that loudly?'' he questioned, Tyler shrugged ''Maybe it's really mad?'' he said and stood up with the pair of shoes he picked out ''Nah.'' Craig sighed and looked over seeing some people running away from a certain part of the store ''Ty, I really think we should go-'' ''Then go.'' Tyler snapped, Craig looked at him, Tyler had never yelled at him before.

Craig looked away and Tyler sighed ''I'm sorry.'' he said as Craig walked away, Tyler got up and ran after him, they stopped in the middle of the isle by grabbing his arm and turning him around to face him ''Look, I'm sorry.'' Craig looked up at him before looking down crossing his arm's over his chest feeling small. Tyler looked down the isle and saw someone get tackled before being ripped into, blood gushed out of the person on the ground while people around them ran in a different direction. Tyler turned seeing people were leaving the store in a hurry.

Craig looked up at him seeing him looking around a bit scared, Craig then turned getting a glimpse of what was happening not that far from them before Tyler grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the front door's, Craig looked down at his feet seeing Tyler was still wearing the store shoes and pulled back stopping Tyler ''You're wearing the store shoes.'' he informed before someone grabbed him. Tyler pulled him back and pulled the guy out seeing him reach up to them gnawing his teeth grabbing Craig's leg, Tyler kicked him and pulled Craig as he ran to the front. They got there and saw the other's running out in a hurry, Tyler pulled Craig some more beeping as they passed threw the door's getting outside, they ran to Craig's car.

David shut the door after Lui got in and Brian got in starting the car up ''Someone call the others.'' Brian said getting them out of the parking lot, Lui pulled his phone out and quickly dialed Brock and put the phone to his ear. The other's were just getting to their car when Brock's phone started ringing, he answered it getting in and buckled up ''Hello?'' he asked as Evan started the car and started driving them away ''Ok.'' Evan glanced at him before he nodded and hung ''What?'' Brock looked at him ''Don't go back to the hotel, leave the city.'' Marcel leaned forward while Luke just stayed there ''What about our stuff?'' he asked, Brock shook his head ''If it's like this in the city it'll be bad.'' Brock informed as they left the parking lot of the store behind Craig's car, nobody was listening to the light's and there was an accident up a head so they took a different way and saw people like the one's in the store.

Running at people and tackling them to the ground eating them alive, Luke looked away from the window and down at his phone, he then dialed a number and put the phone to his ear shutting his eye's 'You've reached Jonathan Dennis, please leave a message.' Luke hung his head and waited for the beep ''Jon when you get this don't go into the city alright, it's happened so just stay away from anyone who look's sick.'' he said and hung up putting his head back on the seat. Marcel looked out his window seeing car's stopping from the accident and people going up to the window's fast smashing into them and pounded on the glass till it started breaking. 

A while later they were on the highway getting out of the city, they all stopped when seeing there was a long line of traffic and a large road block ahead of them Evan tapped the steering wheel having a bad idea about all of this ''This is bad.'' he said letting them know what he was feeling, Luke peeked around looking at the road block of police ''Their trying to keep us here?'' he questioned and Evan looked back seeing Brian's car one car away from them and Craig's car in front of them ''Those infected people are gonna reach us.'' Marcel warned and Evan sighed ''I know, but there's nothing we can do right now.'' Evan said seeing some people getting out of their cars and looking around, Evan sighed and sunk into his seat a bit.

Back in Brian's car Lui leaned on David's shoulder thinking long and hard about something but shook his head staying quiet, Brian rested his arm on the window and sighed rolling it down a bit for fresh air ''Why are they blocking the road off?'' David wondered out loud, something he did often ''Beat's me.'' Brian said and turned the radio on going threw the channels seeing nothing was talking about what was happening yet even though it was everywhere in the city. They then looked outside the window seeing helicopters flying over. Luke got out and looked up at the helicopters seeing they were military and knew something was going to happen to the city.
