The Outbreak

Chapter 9: Matt

"Matt... what... how... I mean..." said Alex

"I will explain, don't worry, I will explain it all. But right now all of you need to come with me",said Matt and then he gave directions to his comrades telling them to escort Alex and his friends to the base.
"Woah mate, how the hell did you become this... Ronin. I mean you were the fatty matty, what happened to you?" asked Mathew

"In time Mathew, well I'll just let you guys be comfortable at the base, I mean we have some space left... actually a lot of space left. Even after that commercial of mine I couldn't get much survivors. I got a man in his late 40s recently but I lost two of my old comrades who just went out to get the supplies."

They all went to the base, Matt's comrades were escorting them. They could have been quite scary but they actually were pretty polite. It was the abandoned school they saw on the map. The main gate was guarded by two rolls of spiral fences in front of the main gate. There was just enough space for two people to pass it simultaneously. Then at the main entrance gate of the school, there were two men and a woman in front of the gate. They guarded the door. They opened the door as they all escorted Alex and his mates inside. There were two men and two women inside the building near this gate.

Alex looked into the rooms at that floor. The classrooms had been turned to different things. One of the classrooms had been converted to a room where there were all the weapons and stuff kept. There were two guys in that room too. They were working on something that Alex couldn't figure out what it was. Then there was another room, it looked like the medic's bay. There were people injured, and the doctors were helping them. The other rooms were locked. Matt took them up the stairs. On the first floor, all the classes' names had been changed to some numbers like, "1", "2", and so on.

"What you trying to teach us numbers mate?" asked Mathew

"Nope, they are room numbers, dorms if you prefer."

"Oh, that's great... a dorm for survival, that's aaaalllll we need right now, to survive."

"Hey, everyday for my men is tough, they need rest. So anyways yours is dorm number six"

They entered the room, there were seven small beds in that room. Alex, John, Minoi, Mathew and Andrew. They threw their bags on one of the bed and the weapons on the other. So there were still five beds left, five of them.

Rebecca asked for a different room and she got one, room number five. It was a comparatively smaller room. It had just three beds and there was already a girl in that room.
She was lying at the bed but as soon as she saw Rebecca, she came towards her and then shook her hands.

"Yesss! Finally I get a room mate in times like this. I am so happy. Oh I mean I am feeling happy but my name, it is Amy, Amy Peckers" said Amy

"Rebecca", replied Rebecca

"Rebecca...? Salamander?... Witwicky? Rebecca Rebekah? Or maybe it's-"

"All you need to know about my name right now is that it's Rebecca."

Amy saw that Rebecca was a little serious right then so she just went back to her bed, still with a smile on her face. Rebecca knew that it was a fake smile. She realized that Amy was just trying to be friendly with her but she didn't treat her good. So she went to Amy and apologized. Then both of them talked a little.

In the other room, Matt was sitting with Alex, Mathew, John, Andrew and Minoi. He was explaining to them what happened.

"So... let me get this straight. You come home, you go to sleep. And then you wake up to the sound of zombies at your door. " said Alex
