Chapter 27 - Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apoc (Part 3)

Scout leader Rogers whistled in merry glee as he walked the trail to the campsite, Augie not far behind him he knew. It did him proud that he was able to award such a badge to one of his own Scouts. Internally he sighed though as he felt Ben and Carter were starting to drift away, and hoped to heck that these three new scouts would help reignite their scouting passion. 

"Oh sweet Dolly, I hope these new scouts are the start of a new chapter in our troops legend" he said wistfully. He paused then though as he noticed a bit of litter on the ground. "Oh boy, we got us a litter bug~" he said with a sing-song voice. bending down he missed the sway of the nearby bushes and the struggle going on inside. Leah was not having a good time in the slightest as the dead in front of her was being a fucking pain.

moving in she slashed at the dead and it dodged the strike before counter striking with a blow to her ribs. grunting at the unrestricted human strength that assaulted her she sent an elbow to the deads chest, only to be met without a hint of reaction.

"Fuck" she said under her breath as the thing grabbed her elbow and literally threw her to the ground. she gasped out silently and quickly pressed her hands to the ground before doing a kip-up back to her feet. "what the fuck, did you practice martial arts or something?" she said mostly to herself. The dead then struck a karate pose and Leah blinked at this bullshit she was having to deal with. Shaking her head she cracked her back before lunging into another strike. 

Panning back to Scout leader Rogers showed the man had picked up a name tag. "Biotine?" he mumbled out while looking around the forest, missing Leah's struggle as her body was shifted above the bush. At the moment she was being held up by the dead by one hand around her throat. Gagging she flipped her bowie knife around into a reverse hold, and started to stab the deads arm in hopes of cutting it off. The Dead got her plan and swung her down and back into the bush. 

"How'd you get way out here?" Rogers said before shrugging and putting the tag into his breast pocket. He started to whistle again before stopping at a rustle of some bushes nearby. Moving into it he wondered what was in them when a little brown rabbit hopped out. "Oh my Goodness" he said sweetly to the little guy. Behind him, in Leah's bush, the Native woman had been released form the choke hold and was now in a martial battle with the dead. she practice both Ax & Knife fighting and MMA before entering the Cineplex, and was not about to lose to a fucking joke undead in this fucking movie. 

Circling the dead who simply turned with her she bounced on her feet before moving into a combo move. The dead shifted easily into blocking the blows with skill before grabbing her leg firmly. Leah jumped up and was able to kick hard enough with her other leg to pull her held leg out of the dead's grasp. Rolling back to get some distance she got to her feet and tried to hold her knife at the ready. Unfortunately she grasped the air and looked to see it was missing from her hand. 

Looking over at the dead she noticed that it was now holding her knife and, as if waiting for her to notice, spinned it skillfully before getting ready to use it. 

"Mother fuck-" she barely got out as she started to dodge left and right as the dead slashed at her with thankfully less skill than she had. Jumping back a bit farther she quickly took off her belt and wrapped it once around her hand, while holding the buckle in her other hand. As the dead approached her she got to work whipping and dodging the attacks. shifting back over to Rogers, the man was holding the rabbit with giddiness as the little guy had seemed to want affection. He was crying at the adorableness of this moment, and just couldn't bless Dolly more than ever.

"Oh goodness gracious this is the third best day of my life" he said while snuggling the bunny. Panning back to Leah, the girl had knocked the knife out of the dead's hand and was now performing an acrobatic spinning leg throw that flung the dead into the ground hard. It didn't even grunt before it showed its exceptional ground work as it reached out at her crouched form and shifted her into an arm lock. Leah silently screamed in pain at the move and could see the dead was going for a bite at this point.

"No, no biting, no biting!" she said while shifting to break the hold. Coming back to Rogers he was taking a selfie with the rabbit who was looking just adorable. Looking at the pic and how good it looked he nodded and finally put the rabbit down, letting it hop off.

"Oh that looks amazing!" he said and then opened facebook. "This is going right on the scouts troops page" he said with a giggle. Meanwhile Leah had broken the lock by dislocating her arm, and was now on the ground with the dead above her and looking to bite her throat out. She was holding it back with one area and spotted the knife near her pain racket arm. slowly with the dead getting ever closer she stretched her free arm to the knife's hilt. Every second the dead inched closer till she felt the leather grip in her palm, and sent the blade into the things head.

Rolling over till she was on top of the now dead corpse, she pulled the knife out and started to stab it repeatedly in the head.

"FUCK. YOU. AND. YOUR. FUCKING. RANDOM. COMBAT. SKILLS. YOU. DEAD. FUCKING. NOBODY." she shouted out till the pain in her arm told her to stop. At this point the Scout Leader had whistled away and couldn't hear her shouts. breathing heavily, she took a second to calm down when her phone rang. pulling it out she answered it with a "Hello?"

"Hey, did you manage to save the scout leader?" Akane said over the phone. Leah moved the phone away and took a deep breath before nodding.

"Oh yeah, no problem at all!" she said glaring at the dead under her. 

"Okay? you sound a bit out of breath" her lover said.

"Yeah, I had to jog a bit to get to the location before I was too late, but it's all good. I killed the dead and will be seeing Rogers at camp tonight. Oh and can you grab me a Tomahawk? I feel like I'm not fighting at my best you know!" Leah said with a chipper tone. 

"Alright, Sure?... Well, I'll see you soon my feisty little bitch" Akane said before hanging up to leave Leah wanting more. Unfortunately the woman was not really ready to feel lustful as she got up slowly. putting the phone away she grabbed her dislocated arm, and seeing a nearby tree, slammed it back into place with a grunt of pain. Sighing in relief, Leah took a few more deep breaths before walking away. As she did she passed the dead and shifted her walk to spread her arms open and faced the dead on the ground with a smug look on her face. "Fucked around and found out you chemist looking bitch" she said knowing that no one would know how bad that fight was for her.

After everyone finished their errands, Leah being the last to show up, they waited with Carter as Ben showed up. Hopping in they took off for the convenience store for beer under Carter's direction. The drive was quiet as Leah rested her head on Akane's shoulder in a power nap, as the asian woman took the middle of the back seat this time. Akane had found herself a 3ds and was enjoying some missed Pokemon time, much to her enjoyment, and Logan was watching her play. As they pulled in Ben had to make a comment.

"So we're just gonna walk in there like this. No I.D.'s, just buy some beer?" he said, looking skeptic.

"Just give me the $20, fool. Come on, Cough it up" Carter said looking like he had a plan. Ben sighed and handed over the twenty reluctantly. "Watch a pro," Carter said before hopping out and walking over to the homeless man sitting down outside the store. Ben watched on in mild horror as he watched Carter try and get the man to buy them beer. 

"Oh great, Yeah, Just give the money to a drunk bum. That'll Work." he said as Carter handed over the cash as the man did a spin. as he went into the store, out walked a female deputy with a body for porn. Carter smiled at her as she walked passed, ignoring him entirely. Ducking back into the car to wait, Carter tapped Ben's chest.

"Did you see Officer Hottie?" he said while looking at the deputy's ass in the rear view mirror.

"I tried but the website asked if I was eighteen or over, and I got scared" Akane said sarcastically, earning a snort from Leah, and a chuckle from Logan and Carter. Ben though was a little pissed at Carter. 

"No. I was too busy watching you lose 20 bucks" Ben said watching the inside of the store. 

"I gave him very specific instructions, He's gonna buy us a couple of six packs, and he can keep the change" Carter said as the two watched the inside of the store. as they did Carter caught a figure in his peripheral vision and saw a famous face in town. "Whoa" he said as a twenty something blonde looked back with a natural expression that seemed charged with sexuality. "Holy shit, dude. That's her" Carter said.

"What? Who?" Ben said looking at the woman going into the store.

"It's Denise What's-her-face," Carter answered.

"Wow, the What's-her-face's are a fucking prominent family" Akane said.

"There up there with the Kennedy's" Leah doubled up with a smirk on her lips.

"Yet below the Rockefellers if I'm being honest" Logan added. Ben laughed as Carter sighed at the joke. 

"I don't know her last name okay," Carter argued. "She went to our high school and dropped out a couple years ago, and now word is she works as a stripper."

"how do you even know that?" Ben asked and watched her inside the store. as they did they saw the drunk bum with a bunch of fun things, but no beer to speak of. 

"She's a legend," Carter started but saw his plan was going downhill fast. "What the fuck is he...Jesus christ" he said as he got out of the car to stop the bum from blowing their money. Ben hopped out as well to back up his friend but paused as he didn't really know how to help. as the two dealt with the bum Logan leaned over to look at Leah. 

"So what happened?" he asked and Leah opened an eye. 

"Hmm?" she questioned herself and when she saw him looking at her exhausted self she closed her eye. "Had to run a bit today and wanted to take a nap before tonight," she said. Logan looked at her a bit longer before looking at Akane who just shook her head. getting the message he leaned back over and watched Ben naturally flirt with Denise easily.

"You know I always wondered why they had the double love interest in the movie" Logan said looking at the chemistry of the two characters. 

"I think she was supposed to be a test run for Ben, so he could have the courage to finally make a move on his crush" Leah said with Akane nodding along. "I found them a better fit though, and wondered if they had written an ending that had him ending up with her instead of Carter's sister." Leah's words had the couple both watch the characters and had to nod at her suggestion. 

"The producers probably vetoed given she was in her twenties and he was just entering his third year of highschool" Akane said watching the boys as they stared at the woman entering the strip club. They quickly looked away and got back in the car when the bouncer of the club watched them from across the street. 

"Alright, we got our beer, let's get to camp, and then to an epic party boys and girls!" Carter said, holding up his case of beer.
