woman saying, “Please, No,” could be heard echoing throughout the level, people sat around laughing at the screams.
Alina was looking for someone, she scanned the room as two men approached her, they were dressed in leather jackets had long hair and beards; they looked like the kind of men you would avoid on a dark night. As they approached Alina stood her ground, “Boss,” both men said in unison. A smirk came from Alina, “Kane, where is he,” she demanded to know.
One of the men answered, “Follow the screams,” he said with a smile.
Alina shook her head, “Why does he always have to play with them,” she sighed.
Before she marched off towards the screams, she said one more thing to the men, “Get the team ready, we have a target.”
She walked away, the two men cheered and high fived each other, excited by her words.
Following the screams led her to the far corner of the level, a big green army style tent was standing, the screams came from inside, Alina pulled open the sheet covering the entrance and walked through. She looked as a half-naked man wearing only a dirty pair of jeans, stood in front of a completely naked woman who was bleeding and crying for help.
“Can’t you just screw her and get it over with,” Alina spoke aloud.
The man turned to face her, his stubble was overgrown, his hair shined black with grease, and he approached with a look of anger in his eyes, as he walked towards her looked like a man the devil would be afraid of.
“I don’t screw the bait,” he grumbled as he took Alina forcefully in his arms and kissed her, she wrapped her arms around him and gripped him hard.
The woman continued to cry, Alina released her grip on Kane and walked over to the woman, “Do you mind, we are having a moment,” she said softly as she pulled a knife from her from her belt and with a smile run the blade along the woman’s throat.
Kane laughed out, “I guess my playtime is over, so why are you back already I thought you were on a two-day run?” he asked.
Alina turned with a smile, “I found them, the ones who destroyed our holding area,” she told him.
Kane’s eyes lit up with excitement, “For real, you know where they are?” he asked.
Alina simply nodded in reply, Kane began to walk out of the tent grabbing his leather jacket on the way. Alina quickly followed, he headed towards the stairs that led to the roof, “I am going to enjoy this,” he laughed out as he started his journey to the roof.
The door swung open on the roof, the night sky was clear and the stars filled the sky, “I have everyone getting ready,” Alina told him as they walked out on the roof.
A mass of groaning noises could be heard, the rattling of chains echoing out, Kane walked towards the noise, coming into view was several chained up Zombies. They pulled at their chains; their rotting flesh could be smelt from a distance. Kane and Alina approached them, Kane stepped forward to a dead woman, her face half-missing, reaching for Kane, it groaned out.
“I think our children are hungry, so let us go feed them,” Kane said happily.
Alina smiled at his words, “But Jack is mine,” she replied.
Kane turned to look at her, “Don’t worry, you will have your play time Boss,” he told her happily with an evil smile.
Back at the house, Jack was upstairs looking around; he was in the front bedroom looking through the window when Elle walked in.
“You should get some sleep,” she told him.
Turning to look at her he smiled, “So should you,” he uttered.
As she walked closer to him, he noticed she still had a limp.
“How’s the foot?” he asked her.
“Bearable, I can keep moving as soon as you say we have to,” she told him with a smile.
Jack looked uncomfortable, “Frank will give the orders, I just make suggestions,” he said in a whisper.
Elle faced him, she took his hand and with her other hand touched his face, “We follow you, we stayed for you, Frank is in charge, but we are
