The Infected [2]

"Quick,over here!",Jay shouted over the sound of flying bullets.

I positioned an unconscious Jeff in my arms, which was hard considering his bulkier frame, and chucked him towards Jay. Thankfully, none of the bullets hit him, which was good. I braced myself before sprinting and leaping behind the fallen log. I landed roughly next to Jeff and felt a slight pain on my arm.

A small cut was visible on my upper right arm. It seemed like a bullet had grazed over it and pierced the skin a bit. I didn't pay much attention to it due to its insignificance compared to Jeff's wounds.

A large gash was present across Jeff's forehead and blood was currently seeping through it. He had obtained it during our earlier scouting run.

I took out my walkie talkie and turned it on. "This is Alpha 23 requesting backup and immediate medical assistance. Jeff has been severely injured. Over."

A voice crackled through the static,"This is Gamma 46, Alpha 23. We are sending Zach and Jake your way now. Over."

"Copy that, Gamma 46. Alpha 23 out.",I said before clipping the walkie talkie back on my belt.

I glanced at Jeff and whispered softly,"Don't worry Jeff, help's on the way."

But you don't exactly need to read the first book to understand this one as no events from the previous book will be mentioned or will be important for the plot of this book. You can read them however you like.
