Chapter 29 - Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apoc (Part 5)

"Man, for once we've got something better than beans and Weenies for this camp out" Carter said as he ate the steak and fish Leah and Logan cooked on the campfire.

"I couldn't agree more Carter, you have earned yourselves hunting, cooking, and scavenging badges for sure!" Scout leader Rogers said while enjoying his meal. The other boys nodded as they ate. Augie the most happy as Logan had shown the kid his flint work was all over the place, and how to correctly light a fire with it. With both the falcon badge and now firemaking badge soon to be sewn into his badge sash, he was over the moon with joy. The two being praised nodded at the words while Leah leaned in and whispered. 

"He's good to go right?" he asked Logan who nodded. 

"Akane put them into his thermos while she was teaching the boys, he will be out in no time" Logan said. Leah shivered again at the thorough lesson and shook her head with a chuckle. She looked over to her left at the apparent sexual master who took a second before noticing her stare. 

"What?" she asked and Leah had to chuckle more.

"You just make me laugh sometimes is all" Leah said and Akane smirked with a blush at the genuinely adorable answer. Akane leaned into her newest lover and Leah enjoyed the action.

"OH!" Ben and Carter shout as Augie now had a roasted marshmallow firmly on his forehead. "Fucking bull's-eye man!" Carter said as he high fived Ben before quickly scurrying over to Augie with mirth in his eyes. "hold it, hold it, I got to get a picture of this" he shouts as he sees Augie trying to remove the marshmallow.

"You're an ass Carter" Augie said as he saw himself in Carter's front-facing camera.

"Say marshmallow!" Carter says with Augie shouting out "Carter sucks Donkey balls" along with him. Everyone laughs while scout leader Rogers looks a little out of it as he takes a swig of his thermos. "Now this is my masterpiece I think, yep, definitely posting this" he said before walking away. "I'm taking a piss first though" he said leaving the fire. 

"Oh boy, I think I need to hit the hay a bit early it would seeeeem~" Rogers said as he yawned into his hand. Getting up the man stumbled a bit before walking over to his tent and passing out rather quickly. Soon the sound of crackling wood was the only thing one could hear as no one found anything to say. 

"Oh hey Ben!" Augie said, "Guess what I found." Ben looked curiously at his long time friend. "I found the tree we carved our Initials into" Augie said and Ben looked awed. again the two went down memory lane as they talked about fun moments they forgot from their past. It ended with a sad subject about Augie's dead father. "I just don't want to be a downer" Augie said and Ben shook his head.

"Augie, he was your dad, we can talk about man" he said. Augie looked touched and the three sitting not too far away just watched. 

"You know I always felt the dad thing was such a random thing to add" Akane whispered and Leah nodded. 

"They wanted to hammer how dickish it was to abandon Augie tonight" Logan said, making a s'more. Eventually the two boys touched sticks, making Akane laugh like a five year old, making a promise. 

"Scout's forever?" Augie asked and Ben took a second and nodded.

"Scout's forever!" he said and then ate his marshmallow. "So, Augie," Ben said, breaking the minute of silence that followed the oath. He was looking at the three new scouts and then to the ground before coming to a decision and nodding his head. 

"Yeah?" Augie asked. 

"While we were driving home from school, Jeff invited us to the big senior party tonight" Ben said and Augie frowned for a second. 

"That's cool, I appreciate you coming to the camp out still" Augie said and Ben shook his head. 

"Of course, but we're still going, and...would like to bring you along," Ben said, making Augie flinch. 

"Really?" he asked and Ben nodded. The red headed guy smiled as he looked over to scout leader rogers. 

"Okay, but we need to sneak out without him noticing" he said, fully onboard with going to an epic party. Ben smiled and nodded while looking over to the three new scouts. Akane gave a thumbs up, and Leah just smiled. Logan gave a firm nod that made Ben feel like he was a proud father. Carter was soon back and looked a little miffed as Ben had told Augie.

He didn't call him out though as he remembered Akane's words about there being so many people it wouldn't matter.

Black light highlighted neon colors as a massive raver was in full swing. all inhibitions let go as people gave into drunken fun and stupid decisions. Jeff, with his handsome face and cocky grin walked with Kendall up to Chloe and Travis. 

"Hey, there's my bro" Travis said as he brought Jeff into a bro hug. Chloe hugged Kendall and complemented her dress. 

"Thanks but where's my brother and his new friends?" Kendall said, looking around. Jeff shared a look with Chloe who seemed peeved herself. 

"I don't know, but they'll show up soon enough I'm sure" Jeff smiled.

"He better" Chloe mumbled out too low for any of them to hear. She just couldn't wait to get some of that prime hunk of beef tonight. She might even be able to get him to fight with Travis for her, she thought with a smile, that Jeff thought it was her getting in on his prank. He didn't know that Logan was given the real address, not that Logan was going to use it. 

Kendall nodded and smiled as she just tried to enjoy the party, while hoping her brother didn't get lost. She had seen some strange things in town on their way here, and felt like he might end up hurt if he didn't show up soon.

late at night at the camp Augie, Carter, and Ben all grouped up to check on their scout leader. The man was dozing away without a care in the world, mumbling sweet nothings to Dolly. The boys shared a look and nodded as they were set to head out for the best night of their teenage lives.

"We're far enough away from the drop zone right?" Leah said, looking skyward. In the film the town, like most in infection movies, was designated to get bombed to kill all infected before it spread too far.

"Yes, this is a c movie for realism so it's likely won't even bomb the town before we're done here. and even if they do, they won't even think about the forest" Logan spoke out while checking his phone's town map. Leah nodded with a fire in eyes given the struggle for the idiots' survival. As the boys walked back over to the two they looked in question. 

"Where are your uniforms?" Augie said as Leah and Logan were fully dressed in a fashionable look that was easy to move in. Leah had on a classic worn leather jacket and jeans, while Logan was wearing his compression shirt, and black military pants, with a brown, fur lined, bomber jacket that Leah had wanted him to wear. Logan was aware of the want given where she came from and who her favorite character couple in that game series was. This became more prevalent when Akane walked over in a red turtleneck sweater and skin tight black pants that both hugged the small woman tight enough to show what she held for those lucky enough to get her to take it all off. 

"Really, we're dressed for the party duh" Akane said as she placed her arms under her hugged breast purposefully. The boys froze for a second and looked at the three in realization. "Don't tell me you guys were going to head to the party in your scout uniforms?" Akane said with mirth. she knew the story of the film and oversight/ purposeful action of the boys keeping their uniforms on for the movie's name after all. 

"Uh of course we have backup clothes, there in the car" Ben said then looked at Augie. "Oh, umm, we didn't-"

"It's cool, I think the uniform is the best thing for me to wear guys" Augie said, showing his massive badge count like a bunch of war medals. Akane blinked and then frowned.

"They had a change of clothes?" she thought, looking at Leah and Logan. Leah thought for a second before a light bulb went off.

"Strip Club" she mouthed to Akane who nodded with realization. she shrugged though as the three still walked around in their uniforms for the night.

"Come on!" Carter says as Augie and Ben were going back and forth about not wearing the uniform while the three new scouts were having their talk. "Let's get out of here before the scout leader wakes up." The group took off in the car after a quick trek through the woods. The old car sputtered on and sped off...into a much different night then the three had planned on. The other three checked their hidden firearms with smiles at the blood filled fun night.

Denise sighed as she served a drink to a drunk patron who went for a feel of her ass. He wasn't the first, nor the last, who tried the cocktail waitress, but he was the first to not get decked with her serving tray. Her douchebag boss made it clear to never hit a customer again, and to get Tony the bouncer to handle the ass hats. She didn't bother though as the place was rather...dead. She looked around and found the place pretty barren even though it was past ten and should be filled with sleazy guys.

Frowning at the night with few tips she put down the tray and walked to the back of the place. When she did, she looked and saw that the dancers' dressing room was also nearly empty, making her a little worried that the boss closed up without texting her. 

"Hey Denise *COUGH* Where is everybody?" Amber wheezed out. She was scratching at her throat as she got ready for her performances tonight. 

"I don't know, I'm going to go talk to the douchebag and find out why" Denise said as she left. walking to the back she opened the door and walked into the rather ritz up office. maroon red walls, and expensive wood held a sticky black coach, and Mahogany desk and ten grand plus chair behind it. Said chair was empty and she frowned harder. "Ricky you dick! you better be in your bathroom or I'm gonna be beyond pissed!"

Walking to his private bathroom Denise banged on the door once, sending it open with a sharp bang. Inside was dark and the twenty something going nowhere was about to shout to the heavens, as she was not told the place was closed today or something. Yet before she could, she heard something in the darkness. she paused and leaned closer as she couldn't help but hear a wheezing or something. Looking into the darkness she couldn't see a thing and so reached into the room, to drag her hand across the wall to find the inside light switch.

When she did she pulled her hand back, feeling something wet on the switch. As she pulled it back to look at her hand she also turned on the light of the bathroom. Looking at her hand she was confused at the red sticky substance, her brain not registering what she knew it was. When she did she grew wide eyed and then heard a choking sound that made her look up finally. Ricky, in nothing but his leather jacket, was looking very dead as he stared at Denise. 

His neck had a chunk taken out of it and was spewing blood, covering the already soaked floor with more of himself. Most in this instance would be backing up and running and shouting nonsense at the top of their lungs. Denise just couldn't help but look at the sorry excuse of a cock the Ricky bragged about all the time. That and the ten inch sausage he had tied to his leg. "I fucking called it," she said as Ricky lunged forward.
