WATCHFUL EYE

As the figure looms over the three it was stopped by an upcoming noise. It looked over to his back to see lights from different vehicles, without hesitation it chose to wake the three up by pulling Zachary. It was enough to wake him up, after that the looming figure runs off. Zachary instantly hears the upcoming sounds of vehicles and woke Nevada and Orlando up. Nevada felt tired and all Zachary can do is piggyback her. They do not have that much as items, they followed the N well Road. They looked behind to see their tent being destroyed, they arrived at Pima County Park and Recreation. They walked pass different corpses of the dead crawling slowly. The place is not that threatening in the bright day.

They got into the building and its all empty, they stared there for a bit to cooldown.

"All right, you stay here with Nevada, and hide if you here anything... okay?"

"Okay"

"Good, I'm going to the pool see if there's something water we can drink"

"To the pool, won't that have chlorine?"

"I'll try to purify it"

Zachary hopped out from the window and to the pool. The men back at the tent sees their footprints in the sands.

"Look, the two of them have been here"

"Good, follow the road, they might have gone to the town"

"Yes sir"

"Actually, not right now, we'll wait the whole day when its night, we don't know what's in that city"

"Why?"

"I would not risk your lives, this is uncharted territory for us.. and set up the tent again! Idiots"

The men put down different consumables and started to eat. One of them started to speak on the radio behind one of their vehicles.

"This is 00 do you copy?"

*Yes sir this is 01 we hear ya. over*

"Good, so how's Tacna?"

*The people seems to be getting drunker than ever. over*

"Okay, fire some warning shots, we're getting rid of those parasites, over"

*Yes sir, over*

The man looks at his map once more and looks to the town of Ajo.

"All right, we'll see what we can find in the town.. maybe the kids are there. Keep an eye on that paranoid town will you? Over and out"

The men on Tacna started to fire shots in the air and the townspeople were alerted. They all stopped their drinking and they all rushed to where the sound came from. Instead of picking up arms and preparing for what will be a deadly encounter they only looked out. The bright sun makes it hard for them to see anything and the men watching over them knew how to use it. They fired shots and some of the people at Tacna were killed. They all started to run around the town as the watchful eyes just kills all of them.

They slowly got close in their trucks to the town. The gates opened and they halted. The people ran with their melee weapons and the soldier just sprayed them with bullets. The distant faint sound of the bullets reached the men on Childs, two of them climb up their trucks and looks through their binoculars. They can see a massacre. The people of Tacna being slaughtered except for the children who are being rounded up, crying.

"They finally killed all those cannibals"

"Yeah, the worse of us.. shit.. I can't imagine how hard he went through"

"Yep"

"Shit"

After the massacre the soldiers swept through the town gathering anything that is not a part of a person. One of the soldiers discovered a basement filled with decaying corpses of some of the people that encountered them. He poured oil to and lit a make shift torch, everything burns easily in this dry town. The buildings were set on fire and something unexpected happens. Out of the burning basement something disgusting crawls out of it. The soldier who lit the fire hears a sloppy sound coming from behind him he immediately ran. All soldiers looked and pointed their guns at the what ever they hear. From the basement a massive swollen creature appears and its starts to spray its blood to the man in front of him.

As its massive body swayed it gained speed. It pinned down the man and started to vomit on his mouth, it was enough to kill him. The giant grabbed its food with its asymmetric hands and devours him. The men opened fire and it was enough to kill it, massive sacs arounds its body popped with liquid in it. It resembled a disgusting second-degree sunburn, instead of yellow pus there are creatures that is usually found in a decaying creature. They approached the body of their dead comrade seeing the white of his eyes and his mouth opened wide.

They decided to leave the body like that and left the town. The captain of the group reported to the man at Childs.

"Sir, do you copy?"

*Yes I do*

"We encountered spittler, over"

*How many?*

"Just one, a massive one two"

*Do you have any idea how it was created?*

He looked at the sun and casted a shadow on his eyes.

*I'm guessing the sun sir*

"Take a car and head back to Phoenix, and ask for a team to study it"

*Yes sir, and my men will go there*

"Obivously"

*Yes sir, over and out*

He drop down from the truck and told his team of the encounter in Tacna. HE immediately told all of them to prepare, as soon as half of the company arrives they'll be looking for the two kids.

Back at Ajo Zachary approaches the pool, he hears distant shots from the direction of Tacna. He looked at the and sees a spittler, he immediately got down. Instead of engaging it he slowly crawls back to the building. He got up and jogged, the window seemed a lot higher than it should be and he ran around to enter the building. He got into the room where Orlando and Nevada was and he cannot see them.

"Oh no"
