SKULLS

The four figures arrived earlier than expected. Most of the council members never had a proper sleep that night. Everyone's eyes are on the four people with their masks and black combat uniforms. Bryce led them to the meeting hall where the members of the council are waiting. Their leader 'Alpha' sat down on the chair that was offered to the, the other three stood behind him. He took off his helmet to reveal a muscular man, Niall is there still wounded and angry.

"I'm sorry for what I did to you"

"....."

"It was to show my compliance with the real enemy"

"So is that you?"

"Our superiors, we were part of a org. called the Final Global Health Effort, FGHE"

"Effort?"

"Yes, they asked us to gather children that were used for experimentation pre-outbreak, they were injected with the antivirus called DRACO"

"I've heard of that"

"What is that Tobias"

"It is a experimental drug developed by M.I.T. Apparently it goes after the infected cell and leaving the unharmed cell alone"

"Really?"

"Correct, since it was proven to be effective, they tried to use it on a man with cancer... and the results well, they failed. They put it on rabies and apparently it became a 'catalyst' for it"

"Can you confirm it?"

"No"

"So, speculation?"

"Yes, but all we know is that the people on FGHE is willing to kill those children who have been injected with the antivirus to see if it works on these zombie virus"

"And? Well we have no idea"

"Aren't the results the same?"

"How, Harry?"

"The combination of DRACO and rabies made these"

"Well, they tried to re-engineered it"

"And the results?"

"No idea, we left after the girl N2 before we knew of the results."

"N2"

Toby pieced it together and it was obliviously Natalia. they continued to ask about the virus and it seemed that they never progressed further without failing their experiment.

"Why make the cure?"

"Don't you want the cure?"

"Of course we do"

"Well, if the FGHE were to complete DRACO, they will only give it to those who are worthy of living, they'll kill those who aren't"

"That's fucked"

"....."

"Well and one last time, who are you people?"

"Well the president knew of the experimentation, they formed us to watch over the children if they are okay, use force to stop the experimentation if anything goes out of hand"

"What do you call yourself"

"SPECTRE. Safety and protection effort for children threatened by regaining effort"

"Creative"

"Thank you"

They continued on their main purpose it to protect the 260 children that were used to be experimented on. Though creating the cure was useless as the results are the same, the FGHE would continue to take and kill the children. Infect them with the virus which would kill them. The team that broke off were fed up with how everything was going.

"So, why try to kill us?"

"Didn't you listen to the doctor?"

"We did"

"Do you believe him?"

"No comment"

Both parties came into a standstill, still unsure if what they say is the truth or not. He later continued about what they need from the children, 'their plasma'. The FGHE will go through any lengths to get the children, other children were taken by the FGHE and killed. Others were taken by SPECTRE and drove them up north to Canada to ensure their safety.

They continued and said that the children are being used as "plasma farms". Willing to kill the children just to perfect the DRACO antivirus, even though that they are aware of the results on every single experiment.

"The results?"

"With every attempt to recreate and strengthen DRACO it still continued to failed, it wasn't perfect. It only mutated the virus even further"

"Did they kill them at least?"

"Yeah killed them, we attacked them"

SPECTRE continued to talk about what they did on FGHE.

ELKTON

After firing the grenade launcher and threatening Niall, Delta walked up to where Alpha is and the dead seems to not notice them as well. Alpha looked at him and gave him a thumbs up. He put on a suppressed weapon and shot a glass window, the shattered attracted the dead and they moved slowly against the horde's direction. Delta continued to make a noise and hides so that the horde cannot see him. Alpha approached the brothers who are still alive under the debris. As he tried to save them he sees Natalia in the library, he chased after her but she hastily closed it and it made a loud noise.

Alpha stood there as to not attract the dead, they clearly understood the dead's behavior. He slowly walked away from the door, the dead would come at close to him and then it moved away.

He looked back at the brothers and covered them with more debris around them to distance them from any of it closing on them, he did it because moving the debris will make a noise. instead of helping them.

He walked to the Bank across the street of the library and made noises to distract the horde to his direction, they slowly moved away from the debris. Delta walked slowly to the building and got in it. The two took of their mask.

"I guess those scientists are right, they can't see shit"

"Yeah"

"So, what are you going to do?"

"The two must take them away to where ever they live"

"So she'll stay in one place?"

"Yeah, so Beta and Foxtrot how are they?"

"Preparing to beat the fucking wasp's net"

"Great"

"Well, something will happen, and that town is in the middle of it"

"How many are we?"

"57 so far"

"That is enough help, we also have weapons, and the horde"

"Okay"

"You go do and tell them what to do, remember the couple that you gave the insignia too?"

"Yeah, do you think they'll hit the town?"

"Maybe its on the main highway, so hopefully"

"Good, for now just go to the down and talk to Dylan. Watch over them report to me what is happening and give bullshit to HQ"

"Got it"

Delta left and headed to Washington and acted as one of the injured men, Dylan dislocated his shoulder and helped him disguise as one of the injured. It was advantageous for Dylan to use the infirmary as he asked the nurse to be in on it. two of the four has died. One being trampled by the tree and Billy who died due to shock. The first man was thrown into the forest. Billy was the last one to be found and already died of organ failure due to shock.

He looked out to the library and sees Natalia coming out through the roof. she seems to be creating a rope. After waiting for the time to come, Alpha never had a proper rest. As he was about to go out as Harry climbed on top of the roof and looked out. After some time they are yet to move, he got out of the bank and propped it. He strolled towards the library and looked through the window and he can see them climbing up. In order to make them hurry up he started to headbutt the door. The horde seems to noticed the noise.

With every movement he made by mimicking the dead, the horde seems to have not noticed him until he hit it hard enough and the door opened. He slowly got in and approached under the hole, he looked up to them and the dead followed. They looked upped and one of the runners charged at them. After that he walked away against the horde using the attraction created by the people on the roof.

MASSACHUSETTS

16 Months of preparation later

SPECTRE is in preparation to kill a massive portion of the FGHE's army.

"Well, we have to start preparing for the extraction, capture the most fit in that community... separate the children.. move now"

"Yes sir"

FGHE is aware that the community that they are charging towards are armed, they assembled their army at Briggs field and started to march. They took Massachusetts Turnpike (toll road) because of the wide street. It is also the perfect place to plant bombs. With the equipment and firepower that the FGHE has provided they used it to set up M67 grenades under the bridge. They used their reconnaissance missions as a window to set up the traps.

The FGHE army has started to move out in the dead of night. There are over 25 of SPECTRE waiting at the bridge. 10 of them are waiting under the bridge with their grenade launchers. 10 are waiting in 5 trucks. 5 are on their suppressed snipers.

The army are driving by the bridge. 5 of the members are their sights on the truck.

"When you hear the crash, that's the signal"

'copy' Everyone said so simultaneously. Then they started they ambush, the 5 members shot the trucks and it cause it to crash. the 10 man at the bottom fired at the bridge. it felt apart along with the soldiers into the Charles River. The 25 members fled from the scene and their ambush a success.

"You, attacked them?"

"Yes"

"Now they are after us?"

"Are we in the scope of 'us'"

"Yeah, you are"

"Then.... yes we are"

"They'll be attacking within the next 6 months or so. we better be ready"
