Ev laughed hysterically at the joke that Jakob had made.
"What is it that funny"? Asked Jakob
"Yes"! Yelled Ev and continued to laugh.
Adam came out from the bathroom
"What"? He asked
"Nothing" replied Jakob
Adam sighed
"Whatever"
He sat down and continued playing his game. Ev and Jakob continued to screw around making jokes until they heard some sort of noise from upstairs. They had been at Tyler's house for a two day sleepover. They had spent almost all of their time in the basement.
"Has anyone seen Tyler recently "? Asked Adam
"Nope" the other two replied
"Hm..."
"Maybe we should go upstairs " suggested Jakob
"Fine" said Ev
The three of them got up and started to head upstairs. Jakob was the first other and was greeted by a horrible smell.
"Oh god, what is that"!? He asked
Ev nearly vomited, same with Adam. The three walked around the corner to the kitchen and saw the remains of a person. Their insides spread everywhere and torn apart. All three of the boys vomited into their mouths. The person looked like it was Tyler's mom.
"Oh my god..." said Adam
Jakob looked around and saw bloody hand prints everywhere. All three of them went to the window looking into the street and saw a couple of people stumbling around. They all had rotten flesh and yellow eyes that spoke of death.
"What has happened here..."? Asked Adam
"Downstairs. Now." Said Jakob
All of them went back down to the basement.
"Those things look like they will harm us and so we need to protect ourselves " said Jakob
Adam nodded
The two started to dig through Tyler's closet, grabbing any gear they could. Adam found an old baseball helmet and put it on. Jakob grabbed a baseball bat and a backpack. While this was happening Ev had snuck back upstairs and grabbed a large kitchen knife. He also found a backpack and stuffed it full of food. Adam came upstairs and found the safe holding a glock pistol in it. He had 17 shots in total. The three were ready to go out.
KNOCK KNOCK
The noise startled the boys.
"Someone's at the door..." said Adam
Ev had resumed searching the kitchen for supplies. When Jakob approached the door he heard a man crying for help on the other side.
Adam opened the door and saw a man about 18 or so standing there. Behind him were a bunch of the things. He ran inside without hesitation
"Close the door"! He yelled
Jakob saw one of the things approaching and swung his bat. The edge of it clipped it's nose and knocked the thing down. Adam then slammed the door shut. The new man had run into the kitchen and was cornered by Ev with his knife.
"Please don't hurt me..." he said
"Who are you " asked Jakob
"I'm...Bob..." he said
"Bob "?
He nodded his head
"Do you have any weapons on you"?
"Yes, a pistol with three shots"
"K..."
Ev let him out from the corner and checked the door. Bob sat down at the kitchen table.
"Why are you here "? Asked Jakob
"I came him here from Kansas to visit and take care of my mother"
"What are those things out there"?
"Those are the sickos, the ones that turned from the disease"
"What"?
"There is a virus that turns you into one of those things...if you get bit then you turn...if you die and don't blow your brains out you turn...that's the only way to kill them...taking out the brain"
Jakob listened intently
"Loud noises also attract them"
"Why were you slamming on the door then "?! Asked Jakob
"Shhhh" said Adam
"It was a last ditch effort "
"Hm." Said Jakob
"We can't stay here there is a bunch of them at the door" said Ev
"Let's check the garage " said Adam
The four of them went into Tyler's garage. Adam started packing things into the truck in there. Jakob and Bob assisted him. Ev had ignored them and started getting a bike ready. He did help put they ATV into the back of the truck. Once everyone was set Adam waited for the count of three to open the garage door
"One...two...three..."
He pushed the button to open the garage and then ran for the car. Half wat there he realized that garage door had stopped opening halfway and that more sickos were attracted to the noise of the door opening. The truck couldn't fit past the door...
