The Infected

4. Heaven or Las Vegas

I personally thought this song was very sad...

Lesi

I woke up on the bed and looked around and I didn't see Rico

No, we didn't have sex or anything I just wanted someone to lay with. I walked in the living room of my apartment room and saw Rico drinking a water looking out the window...I sat by the table and looked at him. He didn't look at me back he just kept looking away.

Lesi try to conversate with him I know seeing him in this way hurts you so bad. He comforted you when you shot me now you should be there for him.

I walk up to Rico and gave him a hug as I felt his arms wrap back around me. I heard him sniffle I pulled him closer to me.

"Rico. I'm always here for you please don't forget that." He sniffs again as I feel his heart pounding in his chest. I really hope he can find peace someday. Kinda like me when I lost my mother to the beast. But I had to grow over night even though I am still scared of those things out there and the people who probably already going crazy. "We are going to get through this together Rico I promise." I break the hug "Do you want to take a walk around the city? I think we can find a music store somewhere."

"There is a guitar store not to far from here Rico" he smiles.

"Okay..." I grab my bag and my weapons.

I'm glad that you are trying to help him Lesi. It makes me feel better that you guys are finally getting it.

I raise my eyebrow as the thought of me and Rico being together in a time like this...I blush as I grab my bags to walk outside to find Rico standing at the corner.

"Ready?"

"Yeah let's go" Me and Rico walked down the street of this quiet quiet city and it really spooked me. Unless it's a hurricane and we have a curfew, you will never see New Orleans in shambles and very quiet.

"Damn...this city used to be sooo filled." Rico looks around "Now it's just a Ghost City." I look down just seeing 3 to 4 cars pass us up. I looked around at some buildings and saw smoke from the explosion of the Superdome a few days ago. Damn where the hell is everyone. There is no way everyone is dead already in New Orleans...we are overpopulated. Why isn't no one bothered to help. I bet Rump sick ass is probably sitting down watching all of this happen.

"Look I found the music store Lesi" Me and Rico pull out our weapons as we slowly open the door. Only one infected was in here and he was eating another corpse. The infected got up and left me and Rico shocked...

"That's.... Troy Andrews." I look at Rico as he was surprised as much as I was. "Should we do it together?" I nodded my head as we walked towards Andrews. "This is not how I wanted to meet him" Rico says as he and I stabbed his head. "You met Trombone Shorty?"

"Yeah, been. Like back in middle school been." Rico put his hands in his pockets.

"Lucky you." We both look at the body. I grabbed his legs as Rico grabbed his shoulders and sat him on a chair. Rico walked over by the register as I grab a trumpet and put it in his hands.

"The Superdome was blown up because they wanted to wipe New Orleans infection out so we can be the last city standing but that is not the case." We heard Troy's voice on the phone.

"Wait what is he talking about?" Rico replies to stops the voice message as I walk towards the register. He plays it again.

Corona Virus is not what you should be worried about. Scientists thought that Cordyceps would help make the vaccine, but they were wrong. They mixed them both together and made a monstrous infection that spread all over the United States. The only hope we have is to fight back. These zombies *coughs* shit I'm dying. But these zombies are not like the zombies you see on The Walking Dead or Zombieland. These are monsters. To anybody that finds my dead corpse, Las Vegas is where I was heading. I know it's stupid because that is the party city but it has lights and a tremendous amount of food. If you are surviving right now may God be with you.
