Citizen Z

Chapter 14

483 days since the virus spread

Later that night

We've been sitting and watching from a far for a while now. I'm edgy, exhausted and annoyed while sitting out here in the cold. I left my jacket in the cave.

Ray hasn't been speaking to me, he's been silent which is annoying the hell out of me. Am I that intolerable?

"How long do we have to wait out here?" I say annoyed, glaring impatiently at their base camp and then at Ray.

He remains silent and continues to watch the commotion, I just sigh and fold my arms over my kneels, resting my heavy head.

We watch them from a hill, just above the cemetery, sitting on the bonnet of the Rover. They wouldn't be able to see us from down there.

Ray was right about me not liking this place, it's based in an abandoned cemetery. It's a only few miles away from our cave, but we had to drive carefully so that they didn't catch us.

We are looking down on the it, we can see everything going on down there.

It's creepy,  unsettling and misty, just like in a movie. The gravestones are all ruined or destroyed, losing the memories of the ones who wanted to be remember.

Looking further along the graves, I can hear their loud chatter and laughter from the back of the cemetery. They've made big bonfires and is cooking some fresh meat they caught, while dancing around the fire.

My stomach suddenly growls as I smell the cooked meat. I haven't eaten for days and I'm starving, plus I'm stressed out too.

I hope Frank and Mikey are okay.

Ray's movement distracts me from my train of throughly. He stretches and finally looks at me.

Why does he have to be like this?

"We have to be patient. We have to wait until their asleep, basically we have to try to get in unnoticed and then get them out the same way, " Ray says, cleaning his hunting gun's optic scope and then looks at them, "They should be locked in that chamber at the back, probably guarded too. They know that we will come to get them, that's what they're counting on, so we have to figure out a plan that they wouldn't have think of, but with Bert in charge it's going to be very hard ."

"We have the hill as an advantage, right? Can you see the chamber they're hidden in from here?" I ask and look Ray.

"Yeah, it's that little cobblestone building a few yards behind the fires." Ray says, pointing with his finger.

"Do you have a silencer? I thought that we could snipe out the guards or-

"No, we can't do that, it will be too obvious. We're going to have to be more strategic than that. We can't give them more reasons to keep chasing us. We need to get in there without hurting any of them or let one of us get hurt."

I sigh loudly and climb onto the bonnet of the Range Rover to look through my optic scope. I examine the surroundings.

All of my plans can't be bad ideas, can they? Maybe he just wants to do it his way, the safe way.
