This is when I know something is wrong . The phone in my office suddenly rung up and the only thing I know is that nobody calls me in there except for the high rank personnels, I was about to pick up the phone when the door bell also rang but I can't answer two at a time so I put the call on hold to attend to the person at the door even tho I know the call is important. I open up and standing in front of me was Connors. "where have you been?" I ask in furious tone and he replied " sir something serious is about to happen and I want you to pay attention and listen to this". I move back to my desk ." what's it ?". " sir there's been an outbreak ". I stood up immediately. " outbreak? Where? And what type?" . " in Atlanta and to my findings it's like it's zombie outbreak and it's not yet much and the people are trying to keep it private". " private? Who's in charge ". " can't say sir ". When I was about to say something the phone rang up again. " colonel Marcus here, pls who's this?" I said as i pick up the phone then a baritone voice that I recognize to be the one of General Frank reply " Marcus we need to talk". " General ?", " yes it's me". I still want to be sure he's the one so I ask for the code number which we use for private communication. " code number?", and he replied, " 1,1,0,0, anything else ?" He's the one " where should I meet you?", " at the White House ", " I'll be there in twenty minutes " I hung up then face Connors who's standing behind me like a soldier waiting for command, yes he's indeed a soldier and not ordinary soldier but a great one. I respect all my squad right from the lieutenant colonel to the last private. " Let head to White House ", " hope there's nothing?", " can't say now until I see the general, please tell Kyle I'm not heading to Dakota anymore and signal Kate to get the chopper ready to White House ", " affirmative sir".
Connors mention about an outbreak, like can zombies be real? No it can't be possible and what about general urgent call? Is it also a link to what Connors said? Who knows what's about to happen and what if it happen, will I assemble the men I've given free time to resume? No this better not be war. I was about to take my coat when a message pop up on my phone it read " Code 1,1,0,0 zombie Outbreak In a State In US ". I'm done, i have to assemble the men once again but what about Christmas? Wait why am I thinking like a child, a zombie outbreak is not different from war and what is Christmas in front of war, I hit on the emergency switch in my office and the alarm goes up, within ten seconds Major Kyle show up " what's it sir?" " are the men's gone?" " not all of them sir", " assemble them and call the rest we have an emergency outbreak and it might end up to be war ". She looks confused and I know she's about to say something. " outbreak?" " yes dear and I want you to pick some men with you and get our children in here as soon as possible ", " affirmative sir ".
Yes you might wonder why I call her dear and why I ask about our children, Major Kyle is my wife, we met in the military school back then and she was the only one that talks to me most even though I'm a black guy, our friendship got stronger and we started having feelings for each other until there's a battle call in Afghanistan , we are selected and I was among the soldiers going to war,she was left behind with other privates , We text each other and sometimes call, some years pass after I receive the rank of a Major then she text me that she's among the soldiers heading to Iraq and from there I know we'll meet. We met in Iraq after six months when the fight was declared over and years later we got married and have our two children. Alex and Amber. So here she is as my major in my base, wonderful.
Let get ready for fight.
