Chapter 23 - Old couple!

"Clear the perimeter first make sure there aren't any zombies near by" said Alex as his men followed his order and secured all of the cars and the vicinity of the building as everyone came back together alex nodded to the man beside him who opened the door as Alex went in with his rifle up and his flashlight he was followed by 2 more men who cleared the right and left of the tattoo shop as Alex takes the lead and go straight he couldn't help but hear some growls in the back of the shop so he stopped the team that was sweeping the store and pointed forward they too hear the growls so everyone is aiming forward the shop was completely dark but thanks to the flash lights you could see perfectly so Alex kicked a chair next to him as the growls turned to Roars and out the darkness came 5 figures running at them all bloodied as soon as they appeared they got dropped as everyone fired they're weapons with no delay "clear the store if you hear growls solve it with atleast two men" said Alex he was certain that these were the only zombies but he wasn't taking chances looking at the corpses of the zombies all of them had bites and one even had his entire arm eaten except for one it could be assumed that he was the first to turn in this establishment it didn't take long as the shop was but a small shop it only had a bathroom on this floor so very soon alex found himself facing a door with scratches and cracks it's the door the zombies were banging on seeing as there should be survivors for the zombies to be so attracted to the door alex said to the five men behind him "stay alert there should be survivors here remember your teachings" said Alex as the five behind him nod this time he opens the door as his men go inside followed by Alex inside was a stair way leading up they walk up the stairs while pointing there flashlights in all the blind spots as they reach the top they were greeted with a single door

Looking at the door Alex just nodded at his men as he knocks on it "knock knock" the knock was loud and as soon as he knock he could hear faint shuffling inside but it quieted down instant hearing nothing else he knock again but this time louder soon enough he heard an old voice "who is it?" Said an old voice behind the door as Alex just says "we are here to save you" after Alex said this he waited for over a min he was losing patience and was just about to forcibly open the door when he heard a series of locks turn making all of them instant point there guns at the door, as the door opened you could see an old man behind it he looked to be atleast 50 before he could even react the little apartment was flooded with umbrella soldiers they took no chances and trusted no one as they cleared the apartment with rifles up threatening to shoot anyone that didn't comply, 5 minutes it only took 5 minutes to take control of the entire situation they cleared the apartment which was decently big it took so long because they checked everywhere for weapons and zombies and watched the people that were in there, in a corner of ther apartment 2 people could be seen sitted on the floor surrounded by soldiers with guns pointing at them the two were an old man and a old woman all had tattoos covering there bodies, "gerald honey are they gonna shoot us" said the old lady with a whisper as her voice cracked while speaking the old man who was called gerald was quick to comfort as he said to his wife "Sammy don't worry we would make it out of this" these words greatly comforted Sammy as they continued to wait they didn't even know who were currently "saving" them as they said due to the darkness of the apartment all they saw was laser sights they would see occasional flashes they think are flash lights but they disappear after checking something only thing they could see if they're "saviors" is the guns and the obvious gear they have on this all ended soon only 5 mins and more than half left the room and the ones watching them put down they're rifles and spread out in the apartment soon the lights they've had turned off for 10 days turned on

"We need to secure the building make sure no one gets in or out and take out every supply like ink and needles also get the lights on we need to speak with the 2 friends" said Alex to a squad captain that was near him as the squad captain said "yes commander" and talked into his radio and more than half the men left the room while the rest weren't that on guard anymore very soon the lights turned on and in that corner of the apartment that was near the door to get in were 2 old people cuddled together the sudden light seems to have startled them and hurt they're eyes as they struggled to adapt to the sudden light but just a few minutes and they did as they started looking around, Alex looked at them looking around in curiosity at them a little fear as they just stayed in the corner and refused to move he just sighed and said "sorry for the trouble but we had to secure the apartment and y'all for our safety I hope you understand if you don't mind could you two come over so we could talk" said Alex while pointing at the chairs on the dinning table he was sitting on
