"Okay so my name is Samantha but my friends all call me Candy because I'm short and sweet. Today is day one of the zombie apocalypse now over there taking a nap is Alex, the man at the window his name is Private Dom. Very nice him and Alex killed one of the zombies together the girl at the TV taking notes is Kimberly. Kim for short. Kim what are you doing?"
As Candy stood over zooming in with the camera in hand seeing Kim taking notes on what was being said on TV.
"Uh well. As much as we know about what's going on is that it's only happening here not back home. But for the reason to why Dom and everyone else with a rifle in hand there is no clue why they are here. But from what the internet says once you get bit you start turning and it happens within five to ten minutes see these Russian guys managed to capture one of these things and their buddy got to close was bit and boom seven minutes in he turned into them. The last guy had to use a shotgun to kill them and it was just really brutal everyone is talking about it in these forums."
Candy placed down the camera as Dom came over looking down at the camera then over to the phone.
"Wait are you telling me you are still getting some sort of connection to the internet? Why haven't you called your friends?"
With that the two looked over to each other quickly grabbing their phones starting to dial their friends hoping someone would answer but no one seemed to pick up.
"Maybe you should wake up Alex. Shouldn't he also get a chance to call someone?"
With that Dom had walked over, to Alex tapping him a few times to wake up after which he walked away to the girls.
"Hey Dom. Check this out they say biting, scratches, saliva or any thing that comes from the dead is high contagious so if like they swim around water that if you drink it you are at risk of being infected."
After that a quiet groan could be heard coming from Alex as he stood up stumbling out of bed quickly running to the restroom slamming the door behind himself. The group slightly panicked as Candy ran over to her camera recording the entire event. There Dom could be seen grabbing his rifle as he slowly approached the door reaching for the handle in an attempt to open it. However it didn't budge it was locked from the inside.
"Hey young blood you good?"
Dom would call out as the sound of groaning and what seemed to be vomiting could be heard objects seeming to be toppled over and fall making loud thuds as they done so, soon a small yell could be heard as Candy pointed over to the bed Alex had been laying on, just there a small pool of blood dripped down the sides of the sheets. As Dom had aimed his gun towards the door slowly backing away.
"I uh.. Hey Alex? You good in there man. Please say something."
Nothing, there was only silence as the door handle began to jiggle slightly, after a moment there was silence again. Then the pounding at the door, the group only stood there fearing that he had turned into one of the zombies they had seen on TV as Candy began to cry fearing the worst a small click could be heard as the door swung open. No one had came out Dom holding his rifle in hand as he did his best to keep his aim straight.
"I feel like shit... I think whatever happened to me last night is finally leaving my body but fuck me. I don't feel so good."
Soon there he stood the kid with black hair and a weak smile as he stumbled out the restroom, blood was flowing from his nose still. It wasn't unusual for him to have nose bleeds but the fact it had happened now sure gave the group a small panic.
"Oh my god. my heart, I thought you were turning into one of those zombies."
Candy spoke out as she had walked over giving Alex a hug as she wiped the tears away. A sigh could be heard through out the room as Dom looked over to Alex noticing the cut on his cheek was gone. With a confused look he seemed to lose focus as Kim had patted his back giving Dom a soft smile. For a moment they could have killed their friend. Just then static began to sound off from the radio Dom had placed upon a table. No voices nothing but static but it was clear someone was trying to get in contact, or some attempt to reach someone over the radio.
"So Dom? What is your military plan? We haven't heard anything from your boys and the radio seems to still be working so what the plan?"
Just then a voice had called out no more of a scream. Then again nothing but static. After which Dom had went back to the map starting to go into detail what the plan and his mission was.
"My team was sent here to make sure to protect and evacuate and civilians we find. Lucky for you guys extraction is just outside of the city perimeter. If we can get there they have these trucks that will take us to the North West Airfield where you will be more protected a trip like that on foot might take a few days but if we can make it to the trucks in the next.."
As he looked down at his watch checking the time things seemed to start getting serious for the group. Yet so many more questions began to arise from what Dom had spoke. But apparently not enough time to ask.
"zero-nine-hundred. That leaves us with about a twenty-six hour time limit to get there to the city perimeter. Which by now the trucks should already be there, if we don't make it there the trucks will leave without us and we will be forced to go on foot. Wait are you still recording this? You know what yes record all of this because even I don't know what going on. From what we seen in the lobby that was the first encounter we had. I was stationed on a naval fleet when we got our orders. No briefing nothing. Got on the helicopter and was told to evacuate any civilians to this said location within the next twenty-four hours. My name is Private Dominic Chesire. I have no clue on what is going on. My missions is to escort this group of three to the trucks and leave this city. After which once we get to the Airfield I don't know what going to happen. So how about we get a moving. Candy right? might want to turn that camera off and save the battery."
With that the group looked around, as Alex spoke up saying to get their stuff ready to only get things that are needed. This room belonging to Kim there wasn't much Candy or Alex could take yet, there he stood Alex looking through Kim's clothing to find himself a new shirt to wear clearly annoyed Kim did her best to let it slide as most of these outfits she won't ever see again. After some playful bickering he only managed to grab a black long sleeve shirt. When the four of them all talking doing their best to ease the tension of being in a hotel with potential zombies roaming the halls. The radio began to sound off this time a voice came through.
"hello? if anyone can here me.. my family we are on the fifteenth floor of the hotel Grand Carnita please if anyone can hear me we need help those things are everywhere."
The group had looked around to each other there was a small feeling that wasn't very easy to describe. The fifteenth floor would be five floors above them, let alone they do not know how many more zombies roam the hotel. Even so would they even be able to make it to the fifteenth floor? The hotel alone was a Twenty story building not the tallest but sure one of the cheapest with a nice view of the beach. But this was Doms call, his mission being the help any civilian they came across and if there was one with a family just a few floors up. His job was to retrieve them.
"Damn it. I hope you guys understand its my job to go for that family. If you want to wait here until I return you may, but if you leave that door with me I really need you guys to have each others backs including mine we will be going blind into the upper floors so we need to be safe."
There was an awkward silence in the room as Kim, Candy as well as Alex stood there wondering what they should do. Wether or not to risk it to save some people or to stay safe and let Dom go on his own.
"I'll go. I mean, me and you make a good team remember."
With that being said Kim and Candy nodded in agreement saying they as well would go alone this little adventure. From the looks of it Dom was very pleased to hear this response as he would have hated to go alone. As Alex and Dom began to take off the makeshift baricade Alex had made earlier tossing away the chairs and pushing the table away. Dom had slowly opened the door peeking it with his pistol in hand seeing there was no dead in the halls he had instructed the group to rush over to the stairway. Once the last member of the group made their way to the staris Dom had followed behind silently. Giving off a sigh of relief as he made it across, soon they were on the move again to the upper floors.
"Great. Stairs. I love these things."
Candy spoke being the on in the back already annoyed that they had to go up these cursed steps once more.
