*Dylan's Pov*
We all leave the room after saying one last goodbye to Sandra. We break off into teams. Claire, Olivia, and Simon are a team. While me, Johnny, and David are together. We made it to the armory and found the weapons we came here with and more. After taking what we needed, we run into Gunther and Bill in a hallway.
"Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise." Bill said grinning while taking out his machete. Gunther takes out a baton.
"Dad you said he tried to rape Sandra?" Jonny asked. David just simply nodded in response as he took a seat on the floor. "He's mine!" Johnny said with fire in his eyes holding his metal bat tight.
"You're talking about sugartits aren't ya? Yeah she was one helluva tease." Bill taunted while charging for Johnny.
I tried to help Johnny fight Bill, until I felt something grab the back of my neck. I was picked up and tossed like a damn football across the floor, almost hitting a wall. I see Gunther marching over to me. Did he really do that one handed?! Fucking monster.
There was a loud bang from outside. The sound of growlers swarming in, bullets, and screaming echoed through the mall. They did it, they blew up the wall. I got up and seen Johnny towering over Bill, whom is on his knees begging for his life. Johnny ignores his pleads and with one good swing to the head, Bill's head was in pieces. Blood is everywhere and I think some brain landed on my shoe. Gunther puts all his attention to Johnny.
"I'M GONNA FUCKING KI-" Gunther yelled but I interrupted him by emptying a whole clip on that tall motherfucker. He fell like a tree getting cut down by a lumberjack.
"T-Thanks." Johnny thanked me while trying to catch his breath.
"N-No problem bro."
We grab David and made our way down to the boiler room. After killing a few growlers on the way we finally made it. The smell of gas from the pipes filled the room.
"This is it." David said coughing blood. He breaks off one of the pipes, having gas leak in the air. He sits across from it. Depp comes over to him and holds his dying father's hand.
"Y-Your strong and brave all of you are. Claire and Olivia, I love them like they were my own daughters. They are both so special and you two are so lucky to have them. D-Dylan you've been a brother to Johnny, and I thank you for it. I'll always be proud of the man you've become, I love you man." I couldn't help but to tear up from his words.
"I..I love you too." I sniffed.
"J-Johnny you're the best son a dad could ever ask for. Me and your mother really hit jackpot having you. You're gonna have to step up and protect the ones you love through this world now. And no matter what, you always remember, y..y..you're a goddamn Ambrose. Your hair and abs will forever be perfect."
Johnny chuckled at the last part but cried even more.
"You're gonna see and do bad shit in this world. It's gonna change you, just make sure you never forget who you are and who you're fighting for. And also I want you to have this."
David pulls something out of his pocket balling it in his fist.
"B..Before your mother passed she wanted you to have it. Now I'm giving you both of ours. Claire she's the one, you give this to her when you guys are ready." David hands Johnny his and his late wife's wedding rings. Johnny cried even more. They did their secret handshake that ended with a hug.
"I..I will always be with you. I love you so much my sons." David cried.
"G-Goodbye, I-I love you dad." Johnny cried.
"Now y'all go be heroes." David smiled. He gives us a nod. I help Johnny up as we both leave him in the room and head straight to the buses. David's last words ring in my head. 'I love you my sons.' I'm gonna miss you David, you were a great dad to all of us.
*David's pov*
*15 mins after Johnny and Dylan left*
I pull one of the grenades that we found in the armory. One for the blowing the wall and one for the mall. I hear footsteps running towards my direction, the growling, and a cursing man voice. The man runs in here shutting the door behind him from growlers. What do you know, Jack.
There's blood ruining his black tux. He rams his shoulder on the door trying to close it shut. I cough out some blood, seeing my hand is getting paler. I don't have much time.
"Oh bloody hell you're still alive? What are you doing here? What's that smell?" He asked while trying to hold the door back from growlers. I guess me dying caught his attention.
"S-Sandra bit me, that smell is gas, and I'm here to kill you and all those growlers with this grenade. You just missed the bus Jack-ass." I chuckled and coughed more blood.
"Well, bloody goddamn bullocks this is." He sighed in defeat.
"W-What was her name?" I asked him. He hesatiates then tears hit his eyes like a waterfall.
"S-She was my S-S-Sara."
"W-Well how bout that. My wife's name was Sarah too. She would call Johnny her pork chop." I smiled while pulling the pin, looking up to the ceiling and singing.
"Yes... I did it my way."
*Claire's Pov*
Everybody's on a bus. We did it, even Johnny and Dylan made it on. Simon drove the bus we're on up a hill. Sunddenly a huge firey explosion from back the way we came is heard. David did it. He saved us all and took thousands of growlers with him. Thank you David, I'm lucky I got to meet you and have you as a second dad. I rub Johnny's head as he lays his head on my lap.
"I..I love you..s..so damn much." Johnny whispered to me crying.
"I love you too baby." I said trying to hold back tears but failing miserably. I look over and see Olivia resting her head on Dylan's shoulder. He looks at me and grins.
"You know we didn't expect running into Gunther and Bill, that was definitely not part of the plan. That guy was freakishly strong." Dylan sighed.
"Did he hurt you?" I asked worried.
"Nah, just getting tossed like trash don't hurt a man's spirit." He sarcastically joked. I chuckled.
His smile fades away.
"I shot him. 15 times actually. I-I never took a life before, never thought I'd could until he went after Johnny. I just had too, there was no way in hell I could fight the guy. His face will haunt me for the rest of my life. Johnny had just killed Bill, that's why he went after him and I had to s-stop him."
"Dylan, I-I'm so sorry you guys had to take a life. I can't imagine what y'all are going through." I told him. He looks at me with tears in his eyes.
"That's the thing you will Claire. This world is gonna make you rather you want to or not. This isn't going to get easier for any of us. It's life or death. All we have is each other now, we're gonna have to fight like hell to keep it that way. Whatever it takes."
He looks at Olivia who feel asleep on his shoulder, and then Johnny who fell asleep on my lap and smiles.
"We never forget who we are and who we're fighting for." He gives Olivia a kiss on her head, leans his head on hers, and closes his eyes. I look out the window and watch as the world goes by. Not long after I close my eyes to finally get some rest, with Dylan's words echoing through my brain.
