Chapter Two Episode Two We had trouble with seven of them. Five fully grown men, and two women, putting every ounce of energy they had into trying to kill us. Now, peeking around the corner into a damp alley, I wonder how many are in the mass. I speak as quietly as possible. “Declan we’ve got to go another way, there are too many.” He nodded, and we trailed off in another direction. Picking off the few infected we passed, we made it to an electronics store. “Put all the batteries you can find in your bag, we can come back for more later.” I told him, scanning the shelves. I grabbed three sets of walkie-talkies. “I don’t know how these shops weren’t looted.” I said quietly. Virtually every store in town was fully intact. “Do you think maybe this disease spread so abruptly no one could gather supplies?” Declan was silent, he didn’t really question how it happened; the only thing he had going on in his mind at that moment was what he needed to grab. “Flashlights and laser pointers, these things will respond to them, just like any animal.” I told him. “Do you think this would work?” He asked, holding up a hand Taser. “They have a nervous system, and you’ve already proved that they feel pain with the little fit you threw earlier, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t” I nodded my head towards it and held out my hand “Toss it here and look for more” I slipped back behind the counter, opening drawers and scanning shelves. “You think we could use an old CB?” Declan asked me from the back room. “That could come in great use, might even help us find another group.” I told him. He fit the small radio into the large compartment of his backpack. “That’s about all I can carry” He told me, “especially after everything we grabbed from the pawn shop.” I nodded. My bag was full too, and I’m sure his bag was starting to feel just as heavy as mine. “Now comes the hard part.” I told him “You know how to steal a car?” We started down the street, going from car to car, checking locks, and hoping for the best. “Don’t go for any stupid shit, mustangs and hummers are all good and well, but we need something that’ll save gas.” I told him. “Electric cars are a no-go as well, the power’ll go out in the city at any moment, and even if we find a generator we’ll be burning twice the gas to charge it.” A low growl came from around one of the corners. “Shh-shh-shh” I motioned for Declan to hide behind the car, and snuck forward, drawing my sword. “That didn’t sound human, Isaac, well, I mean-“ I shushed him, swinging around into the street, facing down the alley. Two green eyes glowed from the darkness. They were a couple feet off the ground. The growling continued, followed by a grimy bark, making the identity of the creature known. “It’s just a do-“ I began speaking, but stopped as soon as the demonic-seeming creature began its charge. “SHIT” I shouted swiping at it with the face of my shield. I connected with its head, sending it flying a few feet with a whimper. “Animals can be infected too?” I prepared myself for the dog to attack again. As it stood, a line of drool followed its mouth, dripping to the ground. It charged again, this time, jumping up, and attempting to knock me over. I blocked it’s body with my shield, and attempted to push it off. As it fell it whipped it’s head, snapping at my arm, and catching a portion of my shirt. I forced my sword into its neck, and twisted it. The dog let out a sharp cry, followed by a momentary thrashing, before falling over, dead. “We need to get out of here, in case the others heard. Just break into one.” I ordered. The hilt of Declan’s sword rose, coming down directly into the front window of the car. And with the shattering of the glass, came the alarm, blasting away at our eardrums. Even louder, though, were the screams of rage in the distance. “GET IN, GET IN!” I shouted, unlocking the doors from the inside.
