Hi, can you give me a lift?

"Hah! Take that! Wooaahhhh! I won!" Jack scream and jump on the sofa mutiple times. He lands on the carpet and send a provoking glance at Milo. "Now did you see this magnificent being kick your ass Milo?" Jack said arrogantly.

Milo snort. "Don't flatter yourself! It's a tie with 2-2 and you are just lucky to get Super Horn in the last moment! I want a rematch! This last game determine who is the final winner of this god damn Mario Kart!"

"Don't get mad at the game when it's you who doesn't have the skills for it! Final winner? Fine by me! Come on!" Jack and Milo again were immersed in the Mario Kart as they sit on the sofa side by side infront of the nintendo.

Near them, a person who is sitting on the carpet and leaning against the large window is Julian. He is sharpening a knife on repeat, not even disturb by the loud noise coming from Jack and Milo.

A bit further from three of them is Xavier, the leader of the mercenary group and Clark, his right hand man as they're currently discussing on the next mission they would take. Their group 'Doom' specialise in assassination, robbing and killing, infiltration thus they need to pick a mission suitable for them very carefully, they also investigate each employer that require their help. One wrong decision they might be a sacrificial lamb for them to use.

Suddenly a red sun appear in a sky, the first person who realise the abnormality is Julian who is very attentive to detail even the difference of his shadow cannot escape his eyes. He watches the red sun until he feels unwell and weak, every pores in his body begins to create havoc in his body as an unknown subtances seep in. He groans, he tried to hold on but it seem he's not the only one who is facing this strange situation. Both Milo and Jack already abandon their games, they were kneeling on the ground, pants and groan is all you can hear in the game room they're currently at.

A crash comes not too far from them. Xavier is fairing pretty well but Clark, out of pain he tried to distract himself by pushing all the documents and cups on the table to the floor. Xavier who is a bit fine, he tried to bring Clark toward the others. However, the sweats are soaking his shirt shows how tough it is to withstand it. Half way there, Xavier and Clark crash to the ground as a burst of pain comes from inside their body. In the end, all of them blank out until a day later.

Xavier is the first one to wake up with 2 minute earlier before it reachs 24 hours. He observes the state of his friends and sigh in relief when he sees no harm done. Then Clark wake up, Xavier lend him a hand to stand up and Clark gratefully take it as he is trying to stabilise himself. Both of them approach the other three, it looks like three of them trying to wake up but still on in the moment of regaining their strength and consciousness. After 10 seconds, they all wake up and sit on the sofa.

Jack whistle as he looks outside the window where a lot of peoples are fainted. "If this is a terrorist attack then these peoples will died already."

"It's not the terrorist. It's the sun. Red sun." A rough voice comes from Julian.

"You mean this situation is cause by that sun? Impossible! I don't struck you as a person who believe in supernatural Jules." Milo roll his eyes.

"It's the truth, i do not believe in supernatural either but i do believe in my own ability to figure out the cause of this abnormalities." Julian continue.

"Hmmm Xavier what should we do?" Clark ponder on Julian's and Milo's word before seeking instruction from Xavier.

Xavier close his eyes. His mind thinking of the best actions to this situation without bringing danger to his group. When he finally decided, he opens his eyes and bark out orders. "Gather all the foods and weapons, load them in the hummer. We're moving out to our base. Fast."

All of them speedily clean up with a minute left before the countdown. A minute later, they then can hear the chaos brewing outside their house. "Jules go and find out what happen." Xavier instructed.

Julian go out of the door in less than a minute, a couple of shooting can be hear before coming back in. "There are a lot of man eating zombies outside and currently the civilian are being devour. It will be best if we fought them without getting injuries as i could see those who gets bitten and scratch, their bodies will gets infected." Julian said composely.

"Alright get in the car, we're moving out now. Clark! Jack! Drive the other car. Here, you drive." Xavier throw the keys to Julian and hop in beside the driver seat. Julian catch the keys and goes to the driver seat. The last person Milo hop in the back seat. The garage door open and make a loud noise. The zombies all rush to garage the moment it opens.

"Crash them all." Xavier said coldly. Julian hit the gas and crash all of them.

"Ewwww. That's disgusting." Milo said while looking at the zombies' remain stuck to their door and window.

Julian continue to drive until they are on the road but then they are stop by a single boy who's standing fearlessly in front of their car.

"Hi, can you give me a lift?" the boy smile brilliantly to them. Right after he said that, a zombie comes to attack him. He just point the guns in his hand and shoot without even look at it. Bang! The zombie's head explode. "Can I? Please?"
