Warren P.O.V
"Look at those poor people. Mind-controlled by a half-zombie sociopath. No better than zombies themselves."
"Being safe or being afraid is an easy choice for most. A person without fear ceases to be a human being. Fight or flight, man, it's what propelled us out of the primordial ooze." said Sun.
"Murphy. Extracting his blue ass isn't gonna be easy." I said but one of the members of the Red Hand, Josh, took the binoculars and looked at what we were going up against.
"Guard tower. Zombie moat. Electric fencing. And security at the corners. They've got the numbers."
"What about the blends? How do you plan to limit collateral damage?" asked Sun.
"It's the Apocalypse, honey. Whole world is collateral damage."
"We can't just kill them." said Sun.
"Those blends, they made their choice. They chose safety over freedom. But their safety can cost the rest of humanity its one chance to survive. I can't let that happen. I've come too far. And I've killed too many zombies and humans to give up now. All right, I'm wanna upset their world order. Have them second guessing Murphy."
"I'll send them a message." said Josh.
"They'll be sleeping with one eye open for the rest of their short little lives. I need you and your men to kill the power from the dam."
"Sweetheart, if you need something broken, we're gonna break it. We are professionals." said Josh. I grabbed a map that should where we were and started to write on it.
"So this is the canal. This is the perimeter. This is the zombie moat. This is the front gate. I want all of the attention right here. A grisly distraction, perhaps?" As we got the plan set, we started walking to Murphy when 10k came out of nowhere. When he shot one of the Red Hand guys, I tackled him.
"What am I gonna do with you? What are you? Cuz you're not the boy I once knew. I can smell the difference in your blood. I can see the Murphy in your eyes. What'd you do? Run home and tell your savior I'm coming?"
"He already knew."
"Oh. Did he send you to kill me? Did he send you to kill me?!" I yelled slapping him.
"Warren!"
"What?! I'm trying to knock a little humanity into him!"
"Ask him where the lab is. He may know about Dr. Merch's work. The boosters. The vaccines."
"Do you want to talk to the doctor? No?" I said as I held him down. "This is for your own good." I said as I started to punch him. "Look at me. Hey! Look at me! Nobody here to help you. Except me." I said as I saw him grab a paper. I grabbed it out of his hand and read it out loud. "Find Warren. Bring her to me. If she won't come, kill her." I looked at 10k. " Well okay then. Why'd you let me beat your ass, when all you had to do was give me the note? I don't want to hurt you, but you're not leaving me any choice. Give him a booster shot of the original vaccine." I said to Sun.
"That's a bad idea. He's been pumped full of so many different vaccines, his immune system could crash or go into overdrive."
"I need to see what side he's on!"
"Let me examine his blood. I need a baseline. He's been bitten, injected by Dr. Merch." Sun said as I looked at him.
"I'll do it myself." I said as I was about to stick it in his leg when I was stopped by Murphy.
Murphy's P.O.V
"Hello, Roberta."
"Murphy. What the hell happened to you?"
"It's the new-new me. Like it?" I asked as I saw Warren try to grab her gun. "Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. No sudden moves." I looked to my left and say one of the Red Hands reach for his gun. I ordered Barry to kill him through my mind. "Some people just do not listen."
"Are you dying?"
"I am becoming."
"Becoming what? Moses? Billy Idol?"
"My destiny."
"Your destiny? Lording over a bunch of half-zombie cult members?"
