shoot. There was a split second of silence that seemed to last forever, giving Jordan enough time to scan the area and quickly notice a cabinet filled with meds. Da opened fire first, aiming at everyone on his left and Jordan didn’t waste time following up on the right. The fired until the guns went empty and then dropped the useless machine guns only to grab the second ones they had strapped to their backs. This time Jordan ran to the cabinet and started filling his bag with anything he could grab. D.A. tried to cover his friend but it seemed more and more of them were coming in the front door. “Hurry up Jay, it’s getting real in here!” “Ok ok I’m done,” He quickly replied, “let’s get the fuck outta here.”
     
    Just when it seemed hopeless the two Zombies threw their grenades one after another while they ran for the closest window. Jordan raised his weapon and started shooting the window seconds before they dove through. They hit the ground and immediately looked at each other with a smile. “Oh shit,” Jordan muttered, high from adrenaline. They scurried to their feet and ran as fast as they could as the grenades began going off inside the building. Bullets flew past their heads and barely nicked D.A.’s arm before they made it past the tall grass and disappeared into the night.
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 3
     
    Avery and Geezus were just a couple miles out from Overlook Colony and neither could help but go over the prior events that led up to their close encounter with death. All of the Zombies had been in situations ever since they decided to become the guardians of their small camp but none that led them so close to death. Just days before they The Zombie Gang made the decision to go directly into enemy territory they were doing what they do best, sitting at Avery’s (the zombie den) drinking and having fun playing video games. Besides the occasional raid by Slasher and the rest of his goons, The Zombie Gang spent a lot of their time just having fun and making the best of their fucked up situation.
     
    Everyone noticed that a bug was going around Overlook but everyone brushed it off as just a cold or flu that would go away with a little bit of rest and some OTC meds. That is until Shawn busted in like shit was about to go down. “Yo, this bitch just died out in the street,” he informed the group. “What, who,” Avery asked as everyone jumped up and headed to the door. The was a crowd in the street watching as the ambulance took the dead body away and seconds later, it was pure pandemonium. Everyone was panicking, listening to rumors that the illness going around was the cause of her death. First, the majority took it as just another he said she said rumor going around the camp, but just a day later lots more civilians were getting worse and two more bodies dropped.
     
    The Zombies kept up on vitamins and taking care of their health, not to mention they wouldn’t go near the quarantined area on 2 nd street, so they hadn’t caught the mysterious sickness yet, but the rest of their camp was catching it one by one, and quick. Avery called for a meeting to discuss the fact that the military didn’t give a fuck about these people and no matter how many times he’s told Slasher they need a doctor, he did nothing. On the 3 rd day a Dr. finally showed and explained it was a simple virus that could be cured with a small cocktail of meds. The only problem was she didn’t have the meds in the nearby medical station so she had to order them. On the fifth day another citizen of Overlook passed away, only this time it was a close friend of Miss Lisa (Geezus and Shawn’s mother). She took it pretty hard but later on that day Geez noticed that she was coming down with some symptoms and he quickly called a meeting of his own.
     
    It didn’t take much for The Zombie Gang to decide that it was up to them to find these meds, so Geez and Shawn took a little trip to 2 nd street to speak with the nice Dr.
