then.”
    “He’s a zombie alright. The only difference is he can still talk and think. Other than that he’s just like the rest of them.”
    “Tell me Captain. When you left the missile silo was your whole team together?”
    “Yes sir we did all escape together, but our helicopter crashed the next day. Our pilot died in the crash.”
    “Yes we found the wreckage. Was there anyone else with Dr. Parks when you arrived at the facility?”
    “No just him. He’d already killed everyone else.”
    “Then I’d say it’s safe to assume he’s somewhere in your vicinity.”
    “He’s what?”
    “Yesterday we found one of the jeeps from the medical facility about fifty miles west of your current location.”
    “How do you know Dr. Parks is the one that took the vehicle? It could have been someone else.”
    “From everything you told me it all fits together. The interior of the jeep was covered with blood and my men reported there were body parts littered throughout the vehicle.”
    This was insane. We barely escaped Parks just a few days ago and now here he was, hot on our trail. That is if General Simmons was to be trusted. Why was he accepting my story so easily? At best the scenario was something out of a low budget B horror film. It was hard enough wrapping your mind around the whole zombies taking over the world thing. Now we were throwing in talking, thinking zombies on top of everything else. If I was the General I wouldn’t have believed my story for a minute.
    “Sir if you don’t mind me asking; what do you want from us?”
    “I like that soldier. Straight to the point. I want you to do your duty man. I sent you on a mission and I want it completed.”
    “General you didn’t send me on any mission. I just tagged along with the pilot. In all honesty my plan was to kill Parks when we got there. As it was we were lucky to get out of there alive.”
    “Captain the team I sent to find out what was going on with the jeep that’s been following your group didn’t return to base. The chopper is still on the ground. The area is swarming with the undead. The Special Forces unit I sent to check on them couldn’t land. I want you and your people to see if you can find Parks. I want him back here. Now more than ever.”
    “Why would you want him? I’m telling you General the son of a bitch is worse than the regular zombies. That’s why we left him there.” Lily was signaling me trying to get my attention. The chopper that General Simmons had sent after us was now right over our location. “General can you hang on just one second?” I could hear him screaming at me as I took the phone away from my ear.
    “What’s wrong?”
    “We’ve got company.”
    “I can hear the chopper.”
    “I’m sure you can,” Lily said, pointing out the window. “That’s not the problem.”
    Hundreds of zombies were in the street outside of the house we were holed up in. Most of them were looking up at the chopper that was circling overhead.
    “Where’s John?”
    “I’m right here,” he said. “I was checking out back. We’re surrounded.”

 
    Chapter 3
                  I woke with a start. Something was banging on the door of the truck. I grabbed my pistol and looked out the window. Al and Cindy were standing outside the door. I rolled down the window and shook Gina to wake her.
                  “I’m not ready,” she said.
                  “I know you didn’t sleep good last night but Al and Cindy are up. We need to get an early start this morning.”
                  “I slept fine last night.”
                  “You don’t remember waking up in the middle of the night screaming?”
                  “You must have been dreaming. I slept through the night.”
                  “He’s right little girl,” Al said. “You woke Cindy and me up around two o’clock. I thought for sure you guys were being swarmed over
