Just when we were about to die once more. Standing under a bright street light were three beautiful women. "What the hell is wrong with you, little girl," asked Titus?
"If you felt like that, you didn't need to save us," Ace said.
"Believe me, it wasn't my intentions, Lexi thirty ass thought, we should save you," said the mysterious woman.
"No, we thank you, miss. It's just how you carried that out"--
"Do not call me miss. I'm not old, and it's Drea, this is Lexi, and this is Jade," said Drea.
"Well, thank you, Drea. I didn't mean to offend you; it's just manners. Ace, give me a hand, let's get out of here before anything else happen, I said.
"Oh wow, what a gentleman, holding on to manners even during an apocalypse," said Lexi.
"Yeah, a weakness that will get you killed," said Drea.
"You know, we don't need somebody riding us he was being nice, don't misjudge his kindness for weakness"--
"That's enough, Titus, you girls can go on about your day. Thanks for the save again, Ace; let's go", I said.
We both helped Titus to the roof to rest his leg. The girls allowed us to wander off with no intention of seeing us again. With daylight drawing near, we have to get ready to move out to find food, water, and other supplies. "Quick question, did anybody grab any weapons or anything for that matter out of the gun shop," I asked?
"No... The genius who found a gunshot all the bullets, so now we have a gun with no ammunition, which means nothing. You don't want to actually try and bash Junk's heads in with a pistol. You have to get too close, and it's not really that much damage to those things", said Titus.
"Well, thank you for asking, big bro. I do have these," said Ace.
Ace pulls out two all-black titanium daggers and a crossbow with arrows. "The arrows are pretty high quality, so they should be strong and long-lasting, but this baby is mine. You get those twin daggers, big bro, when I saw them I thought about what you said in your dream"--
"Wait one m*fu*king minute... One, what do I use"--
"The bat," Ace and I said simultaneously.
"Hell Nah... Two, wherein the hell did you pull those from! I have literally been right next to you", said Titus.
Ace's smile stretched across his face, and he said, "don't worry about it... Just know I learn some things in jail".
"You serious, you not cool ugly ass boy... Those are two 14 inch daggers plus a crossbow. You didn't learn sh*t in jail stop lying"--
"Alright, you two, that's enough, it doesn't matter...you did good"--
"What the f*uck, yes it do matter you both sitting here with very reliable weapons. I'm the injured one, I need the most protection, the bat broke, and he thinks it is cool and funny to say he keistered a crossbow", said Titus.
"I thought you were about to go off on your own anyway. You didn't want Tray to be leader, remember", said Ace.
"It doesn't matter; let's get ready to move. Plus, your leg is messed up, so you can't just go swing around daggers, and your balance isn't good enough to shoot a crossbow which means we will be your protection as ... an always little brother", I said.
"As always, little little brother"--
"Ace, really," I said
"Aye aye, Captain... Wait, where do we go," Ace asked?
"I honestly don't know... somewhere far away from civilization. There is no telling how far this thing has spread. So maybe somewhere with water and supplies. So what do you say guys, the mountains in colorado maybe there's a nice spot we can protect ourselves in setting up some defenses", I replied.
"Actually, I was thinking about the Bahamas, an island, or something I'm trying to survive and do everything I couldn't do", said Ace.
"Do you want to die", asked Titus?
"What, bro what you mean"--
"You're here trying to relax, but your going to end up with a Junk, sneaking up and kill you while your busy trying to f*ck around"--
"Okay, what Titus is trying to say is let's focus on surviving first... Okay... deal", I asked?
"Deal," said Titus.
After getting ourselves together, we carefully snuck out of the crowded parts of the city and began our journey to safety. The further we reached, the more we saw how far mayhem had spread, and I don't mean just the Junks. No humans ran wild, breaking into stores, banks, raiding police stations, and harming each other. I mean the grocery store and pharmacy, I understand... we got to eat and heal wounds, but I even saw people braking into dealerships, like come on, I would like to fly down the highway in a Lambo, Bugatti, or a Rari. The thing is, these people are driving up no more than 2 miles then realize there are so many abandoned vehicles blocking the streets...
"The streets, Ummm," I thought to myself. "One minute, boys were making a pit stop."
30 mins later. Vroom... Vroom...Vrooommmmm
So once I said it, I thought long and hard, and all of the roads, streets, and highways were jammed, but off-road was free. So after using our new weapons on a few Junks, we helped ourselves to a vehicle... Each. I choose the 2019 Jeep Compass with a panoramic moon roof, if I might add. Ace desired an all-black suburban, and Titus chose a Ford Raptor, which Drax eventually took over due to Titus becoming even sicker. Those first few moments felt like heaven. My dream car was in my possession; the only thing I could think of to do first was.
*Woop, Woop* Police Sirens and flashing lights
"How," I asked?
"Man, it's the middle of an f*cking Apocalypse"--
"Nah, f*ck that you know how many people done stole cars before we even got here," said Ace.
Two officers step out of the car. "Step out of the vehicle! Whatever you say or do will get you shot", said the second police officer smiling at the first.
"Wait, what the fuck, say-"
"Hey Ace, chill, just do what they say. We don't have time to lose anybody", I shouted.
The police stuffed us all in the car. It was so uncomfortable being stuck, clustered close together, and handcuffed. Not to mention the seat was hard and ruff like a metal bench our weapons were still in the vehicles, or so I thought. "This is even better than I thought, man, I mean you boys were packing with something nice, and I get to keep it all. I'm going to put these two on my desk as trophies back at the office", said the first officer.
"Yea, I always wanted to be a cop; this is just too sweet. Hey you, back there, have you heard what's going on in Virginia," said the second officer.
*Silence came from the back seat*
"Just trying to make conversation, anyway there's suppose to be like a race war going on Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Natives, Asians, Porta Ricans, Brazilians, Cubanas, Samoans"--
"Get to the fucking point, moron," said the first officer.
"Okay, okay, I got distracted, and I wanted to see how many races I could name"--
"Ethics... Its ethnicity, stop saying races, you discriminative idiot".
"Okay, I wanted to see how many ethnicity codes I can name."
*Laughter in the back seat*
"What about it."
"They're supposed to be at war with each other, and they blame this disaster on one another. So they kill each other mother, even slaughtered someone's lover"--
"Are... Are you f*cking rhyming? No, forget that what happened to the families who are mixed... TELL ME".
"Wait, so are you all on some discrimination bullsh*t, is that's what you're going to do with us," asked Titus?
"What... No, we're just playing cops, I mean somebody's has to keep things in order. Justice the structure, he just can't let society fall. He was just going to keep you in the cell for about three days. Uhh... For your safety, of course and I'm just here to tag along", said the second cop.
"Shut up, you idiot... And we are not racist for christ! My best friend is black, and without hesitation, I would die for that man. I met him back in college; afterward, he joined the army and married my sister. Together they had my beautiful niece and were recently deployed TO VIRGINIA. We need to go to the station quickly; I need to try the radio. I have to know they're okay", said the first cop.
"The station? Didn't you just say you were playing cops... Man let us go", said Ace!
"Not until you do time, that the law," said the first officer.
We pulled up to the station moments later. Of course, they were more of them playing cops. Also, we weren't the only ones there, one of the three girls we met before was also there and a few others. The officer told some people to keep an eye on us and instructed the second officer to call someone to help fix the radio.
*Crack, Crack*
The second officer raises the police megaphone high. "The boss needs someone to help him fix the radio... Repeat someone helps that man fix that radio"--
"Are you serious, you idiot? Get... get the hell out of here and go make yourself useful go watch for junks, got damn can you do anything right", said the first officer.
The second officer goes to the post meantime, we all wait in the cell, trying to get the girl's attention. "Can you at least uncuff us," I said?
"Fine," said the first officer.
He uncuffed us and continued working on the radio. The girl was in the corner of the cell, trembling of fear either they had done something to her, or she hated jail. No matter what, though, she would not speak to us. Looking closely, we believed it was Drea except without the grit.
"Umm boss, a big horse, is knocking on the gate outside," said the second officer.
" A horse? *Sigh* just let the thing pass, the first officer replied.
"No, what is it called when there are too many of the monsters to count... A uhhh"--
"A horde, you idiot, what is with you and using words you don't know"--
Smash, Smash, The junks had already broking in. Everyone in the station began running around, screaming to the top of their lungs for everyone to evacuate. For some, it was already too late; the Junks started ripping them from limb to limb.
"Hey, what about us? You can't leave us here", I said.
"You're in a safe place right now; they can't get through that cage," the first officer replied.
He drops the keys right by the cage. Ace tries to reach for them, but the junks are furious and will not miss an opportunity to take a bite. The kid Junks were...were trying to squeeze through the bars? I thought we would be safe until the Junks started doing things differently...
