Operation [Adrien Davies] (3)

12:34 P.M. [ Bennett Residence ]

The Bennett's and Zoe were having lunch. Eating the food with silence. Ignoring the sounds heard outside.

While eating, the Bennett's were glancing down to Zoe. Curious about the Big Brother's that was glancing at her, Zoe opened her mouth.

" Why awe you wooking at me wike that Big Bwothew's? " curiosity was seen in her big hazel eyes.

" Oh! Zoe, we just want to ask if you would want to stay here when were going out to save another big brother. " Cedric explained after being caught in the act.

" I saw Big Bwothew's putting things away in the caw. Will big bwothew's come back to Zoe?...." Tears were starting to flow down her eyes. Sad that the Bennett's might leave her just like her mother. " Will big bwothew's not weave(leave) Zoe like Mommy?...."

" Zoe... " Shocked and Sad by the girl's questions. Cedric and Cyrus couldn't help but hug the little girl.

" We wouldn't leave you. And your mommy didn't leave you. She just protected Zoe to survive and save her someday... " Cedric said. Hugging her tightly, to let her feel that he was here. They were here with her.

" Weally?... "

" Really. " Cyrus confirmed.

Releasing the tight hug. Cyrus patted her back while Cedric cupped her face and wipe her tears off her little face.

" Never think like that okay? "

" We will always come back to Zoe.. "

Happy by her Big Brothers words. Zoe smiled holding both of the brother's hands.

" Can Zoe come awong? " she asked. Earning nods from both Cedric and Cyrus. Earnest on making the child safe, and also letting her feel that they were always by her side. Always.

-----------------------------------

After eating lunch and washing the dishes. Zoe went to Cedric's room to put an jacket on the clothes that she borrowed from Cyrus. After changing and preparing. They went into the car and turned the engines on.

Before opening the garage with a remote, Cyrus called the number on the keypad phone he had tossed to attract the zombies attention. After calling, Zoe pressed the remote button as constructed. Closing it again after successfully going out without letting a Zombie in their house.

They started to set off on the direction to their target's location. Cedric driving, Zoe watching and Cyrus shooting the Zombies that were approaching them in the head.

------------------------------------

Arriving at their for exactly 30 minutes. Cyrus texted Adrien to inform the latter that they have already arrived. Although it was kind of obvious that Adrien already knew that they arrived after hearing the sounds of their car engine.

Before going out, The Brothers were arguing on who will take Adrien to the car. Both concerned on each other, especially when there were still zombies walking outside. Some attracted were approaching the car.

" I'll go there, Just stay here! " Cyrus yelled while putting one gun on his side and putting the other one on his brother's hands. Holding the extra gun on his left hand and a knife on his right hand. Before Cedric can protest. Cyrus already spoke. " Stay here. You're not cut out for this Ced. Just stay here and use this gun when there's a Zombie. Don't think twice on using the bullets. Stay here with Zoe. " Cedric couldn't argue. After all he was not used to Killing zombies who were once normal like him. Cyrus looked back at his brother then to Zoe. " I'll be off. "

Before Cyrus can open the car door. A small hand tugged on his jacket. Looking at the owner of the hand, her eyes were full of worry and fear. Afraid that that the bad monsters outside might do something to Cyrus just like what Happened to her mother.

Pulling the hand away his jacket gently. Cyrus smiled reassuringly.

" Don't worry! This big brother of yours will come back. "

Cyrus opened the door, getting out of the car swiftly. Stabbing and shooting the Zombies approaching him while running.

Bangs were heard Everytime he pulled the trigger, attracting zombies towards him. A clear disadvantage of not having a silencer.

Closing the Supermarket's entrance to stop the Zombies from the inside to come out. Running again towards the Storage room's back door. Cyrus knocked on it loudly.

" Mr. Adrien! It's me! Come out quickly so we can run! " Cyrus yelled. Shooting the Zombies approaching him. The continuous zombie attacks already tiring him.

Opening the door, Adrien came out with a big bag full of foods and devices while holding two guns on his hands. Shooting the Zombies that was making Cyrus tired. Seeing the zombies lessen, Cyrus looked at Adrien that was backing him up.

Without thinking twice, Cyrus hold Adrien's hand. Running towards the car that was driving towards them. Cedric, who catched on how tired his brother might be was driving towards the two to make it faster for them get in the car.

" Get in!! " Cyrus yelled. Stabbing the Zombie running towards their direction. Opening the a car door close to him while guarding it.

Pushing Adrien into the opened car door. Getting himself in while still shooting at the zombies. Some bullets going through the tattered glass. After a minute or two, the zombies lessened with the help of Adrien shooting the other sides. Cyrus finally closed the door.

" Start driving! "

Hearing those words, Cedric stomped on the pedal. Running over some bodies and Starting their speed ride to home. Seeing that the zombies were not catching up. Cyrus sighed.

" Are you guys the one who called me? " hearing the question from the beautiful voiced man beside him. Cyrus moved his head and looked at the man, moving his hands to get a handshake.

" Yes. I'm the one who called you. The name's Cyrus Bennett. Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Adrien. "

Accepting the handshake. Adrien replied with a small smile before pulling his hands away.

He really didn't expect it...

But....

Cyrus was really much more handsome than what he thought he would look like.
