Free Dawn of a New Day by Nick Mariano Page B

scientists and doctors still couldn’t figure a way to combat the infection.
    Finally several scientists decided to look into the basis for the original virus that was engineered by Mengele in the 1940’s. Research done by the Germans employed at the Fort during the 1940’s and 1950’s was scoured for clues. A CDC Global Rapid Response Team was sent back to Germany to research its archived war files in hopes that some of the records from Auschwitz could be located and examined. Previous research following the New York State outbreak failed to turn up anything of substance but scientists hoped that they had missed something the first time around.
    Knowing that the end was near and watching Germany begin to fall on both the Western and Eastern Fronts, Mengele decided that it was time to destroy many of the files concerning his experiments at Auschwitz and so he ordered the SS guards to gather all the files and destroy them. He decided, however, to save the files regarding the super virus that he and his doctors had perfected in the event that it might become useful to him later on. He altered some of the data and inserted the files into some of the routine files that were held at the camp. When it finally became inevitable that Germany would fall, Mengele decided that it was time to depart his beloved Auschwitz and move west away from the advancing Allied and Russian armies. He had heard about the Fuhrer’s suicide and that his boss Himmler had also taken his life. He had no desire to join them anytime soon. He dressed himself as a lowly German infantry soldier and headed westward. He traveled alone and worked along the way at some of the camps. He was eventually captured near Munich but quickly released as the Allies had better things to do than arrest a common German infantryman. So far his disguise seemed to be working very well.  He kept a low profile and avoided further arrest while he moved through Germany. He took up residence at one city after another, but never for long. As the years passed he knew that he was on borrowed time and that the Allies and the Jews were actively hunting for him and other war criminals. Finally, in 1949, using false identification that he had managed to obtain, he received travel papers through the International Red Cross and relocated to Argentina. Once he arrived in South America he took up residence in one country and then another to avoid being captured as the war crimes hunters were actively pursuing Nazis throughout South America. He still had many of his experiment papers with him and much of the research done by him and his doctors was still hidden away in some of the routine files left behind at Auschwitz.
    The CDC Global Rapid Response Team arrived at the Headquarters of the German Federal Intelligence Service, Bundesnachrichtendienst, located in Pullach, near Munich and Berlin. The BND had 300 locations in Germany and foreign countries and employed over 6,000 people. The Team explained that they were looking for notes and research papers from Mengele’s experiments at Auschwitz and that they realized teams had previously scoured these files following the ISIS attacks in New York State early that year. They said they hoped the first teams had missed something and that they would start from the beginning and see if anything was missed the first time around. The Germans provided 100 people to help the Americans in their search.

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    THE EMERGENCE OF THE HORDES
    The mysterious box was brought up from the ocean’s floor on May 15 th , 2015, and the first person infected, Harold Strauss, would attack people at the local hospital less than a week later. Special Agent Max Taylor would arrive in Kuala Lumpur on May 20 st and become known as Passenger Zero in Asia. The Asian variety of the super virus would get underway shortly thereafter and by the end of May several hundred people would become exposed to the virus by means of person-to-person contact.
