Nothing but Dead (The Walking Dead Fanfic)

TS-19

Connor was right, the air did stop working. Why would the air stop working? Then there is a knock at their door. 

Garrett is the one that opens the door and he sees a kid, just about his age maybe a little older and he is from Asian descent. "Rick wants to have a meeting." The kid mumbled not really making any eye contact with Garrett. "I'm Glenn by the way, I suppose you met everyone else."

"Yeah, I have." Garrett said as he looks over his shoulder and sees the guys behind start to get ready to go out. "We'll be out in a minute."

Glenn walks away and Garrett is about to close the door when he sees Jenner walking by. Jenner is dressed in a different outfit, more or less a suit type of deal with a lab coat over it. The look on his face was worried as he walked into his office. Having multiple questions to ask, Garrett follows Jenner into his office.

Upon entering the office he sees that Jenner is staring at a picture of a women. 

Noticing Garrett enter his office he sets down the picture and looks at him with a facial expression that cannot be described and he begins to speak, "Have you lost someone you care about?" His eyes go right back to the picture he was holding.

"People I care about?" Garrett began to think. "Yeah, I have....My one friend shot himself, the other was bit and was about to turn....."

"Parents or a girlfriend I mean...." Jenner looks back at him.

"I don't know where my parents are." Garrett thought to himself and out loud. This keeps popping up, people need to get off the subject already. "I don't have a girlfriend."

"I did." Jenner whimpered as he looked at the photo again. "She was so smart....maybe if it were I that was bit instead of her she could have found a way to stop this...." Jenner pauses and sees that Garrett is confused. "My boss was my girlfriend. Hands down she was the smartest person in this building when it was full of people...the things I would do to have her back. Well, I did the best I could in the time I had." Jenner paused again this time he looks up and a smile appears on his face. "We always thing there will be more time, until time runs outs."

"Listen....This might be a bad time." Garrett began. "But the air went off in our room, don't we..uhhh...well, need it to live?"

"It's started then." Jenner sighed as he walked out the door with Garrett right on his heels.

"Hey! Why'd the lights go out in my room?" Daryl shouted out the door as they walked by. Soon others started to poke their heads out as well all asking different questions about the air and the lights.

"Whats going on?" Carol asked holding the hand of her daughter Sophie as the whole group began to form a cluster behind Jenner and Garrett. Jenner seems to be going somewhere, but he isn't telling anybody.

"Everything is being shut down and prioritized." Jenner said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Air and lights aren't a priority?" Dale gestured.

"It's not up to me. The building is shutting itself down."

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Daryl forcefully pushed his way past Garrett to walk next to Jenner. "Hey! How can a building do anything?"

"You'd be surprised."

"What's happening?" Rick asked considered as he, Lori and Carl exit their room. Rick quickly makes his way to the front.

"The system is shutting down, it keeps the computers running for as long as possible." Jenner told him filling him in on everything that is happening. "At best we have 30 minutes." He opens the door and the room is huge, nothing but computers are inside this big oval room. "It was the French."
