The Apocalypse Brides Promise

Chapter 11

"Agreed" I heard 12 say as she nodded her head. She walked back over to the zombie she was inspecting. "What should we do with the specimens?" She asked

"I say we get some garbage bags and wrap them up. I don't have body bags or anything so-" I suggested, placing my hands on my hips. 12 nodded once more. 

"Alright, sounds good" 12 paused for a moment. "I say we toss them where the others are, and burn them!" She said enthusiastically  

I chuckle, but I know she wasn't joking. "But wouldn't that fire catch the other zombies' attention?"

"Hm..."

I giggle. "Hm? That's it? I thought you'd counteract with my statement" 

"Well, you're right, I just don't know how I didn't think of that" She chuckled. Usually, she's the one with the best ideas. 

"Well, that's because you're tired, sweetie. Like I said, we should get some rest, it's getting dark out anyway. So the faster we bag these things up, the sooner we get to bed" I say with a smile, walking over to 12. I wrap my arms lovingly around her, placing my head, er- face shield on her chest. "I'll go get the garbage bags" I whisper, slowly letting go of 12, though she latches onto me. 

"I love you.." She whispered

I giggled a bit. "I love you too, 12. Now I'm gonna go get the bags" I say as she lets go of my waist. I walk up the stairs into my kitchen, going to my closet and grabbing two heavy-duty black bags. I wonder if they'll even fit in here. If they don't I'm sure we can just cut up some limbs... That doesn't sound right-

I head back downstairs and see that 12 is inspecting my zombie's body. "I was only gone for two seconds, you got bored already?" I joked.

12 looked over at me and chuckled. "No, dear. I was just checking something" 

"What were you checking?" I asked with obvious curiosity in my voice as I set down the bags and walked next to 12. I looked down at the body, then at her, wondering what she was thinking. The thing about 12 is that you could never tell what she was thinking, or what she's about to say. She's one mysterious gal. I've known her for over 20 years and I still can never tell. She's unpredictable, and I love her yet hate her for that.

12 looks over at me. "Well.. I noticed that my specimen has a bite mark on his neck, so I decided to check if yours did too"

I nodded, pointing at her bite mark. "Yeah, she has one. As well as blood on her teeth. It's all in my report. There's a high possibility that the virus thing spreads with a bite, but I'm still not sure if they're too toxic to be around, if they are toxic, y'know?" 

12 nodded. "Yeah, it's best to be extra careful" She then looked over at the garbage bags. "Should we bag them up now?" 

I nodded and walked over to the bags, grabbing both, and giving one to 12. We bagged up each of our zombies' and sealed any holes so the smell would stay in the bag. Though I have no idea how I'm going to air out this bunker...

12 and I put them over our shoulders and walked them up the stairs, soon tossing them with the other zombies that were still there. I sigh, placing my hands on my hips and looking over at 12. "We should get inside.." I suggest quietly

"Yeah, you never know if there might be any more zombies looming around the place." 

I nodded and went inside, 12 following close behind. Once both of us were in, I shut the door and locked it before pulling down the titanium gate. I reach up to my face shield and took it off, sighing deeply. "Finally, I can breathe" I giggled.

12 took hers off too with a chuckle. "It feels good to be able to breathe in some fresh air"

I nod and put my face shield down on the floor, going over to my bunker and locking it up with the key still in my pocket. Once that was done, I put the key back in the drawer where it was earlier today and turned to 12.

"Let's get these suits off and get something to eat" She suggested.

"I don't have much food in my fridge, but I'm sure we'll find something to snack on" I explained while pulling down the yellow suit, as did 12. "We can leave these folded here, on top of the bunker door," I said as I put the suits in some plastic.

"Sounds like a plan"

Once everything was done and we were up in the kitchen, we decided on eating some chicken I had made the other day. After today, neither of us felt like cooking. So leftovers were the best option. I led 12 into my room so we could eat in there. We got settled in and I turned on the TV. The only thing that was on was the news, as always.

"I'm surprised you still have a connection to your TV" 12 said as she took a big bite out of her chicken. I nodded in response, turning on Disney+ and getting the remote greasy from the dinner.

"So, what would you like to watch?" I asked, as 12 smirked in response. "You know exactly what I want to watch. And I know you do too"

I chuckled, searching for the movie she was talking about. "You know me so well. But do they really still have it on here after all these years? I haven't really watched Disney+ in a while" I took another bite from my chicken.

"Only one way to find out," 12 said with a smile.

I searched for it and we found it. 'Hamilton an American Musical'

"Oh my diddly damn-" I exclaimed, causing 12 to laugh at my phrasing. "They still have it!"

"Oh wow! It's been what, 13 years??" 12 said excitedly

"Let's watch it!!" I haven't seen it in so long, I'm excited to sing all the lyrics with 12 again.
