chapter 15: the zombie Heist part V

Joaquin is inside of an office. he looks at a corpse. he feels uncomfortable. he is thinking about many things. he looks around. there are some books on the floor. dying on an office like that, it seems a bit sad. he thinks about how lonely that could be.

Joaquin takes a cigar from his pockets. he starts to smoke. he sits on an old chair. he looks up at the roof. he starts to whisper to himself. this life is too much. he takes a bottle of vodka from his pockets. he starts drinking.

Chicken Wrath enters. he looks at Joaquin who keeps drinking. Chicken Wrath quietly leaves the room. he thinks about how strong are Joaquin's responsibilities. there are a lot that he has to deal with. enough reasons for him to drink.

Chicken Wrath walks around on the hallway. he looks at Beau. they start to talk. Beau seems to be happy. he has nothing to worry about with Leah. to him she is like an angel, an angel who has fallen to guide him. and also to protect him.

Don-Savage is walking behind Beau. he is holding a bag. he takes a bottle of water from that same bag. he offers the water to Beau. he takes it. Don-Savage offers a second bottle of water to Chicken Wrath. he takes it.

on another room are Federico & Leah talking about stuff. Federico needs help with love, after what he did earlier. Pandora refuses to see him. she also refuses to forgive him. Federico believes that maybe Leah can help. a friendly advise maybe.

Federico really loves Pandora. but he is too stupid to show his emotions. then he turned to the fallen hero side. now she thinks he only used her. there are no words to explain how sorry is Federico. no words to explain his love for her.

Leah truly has no idea of how to help him. he kind of deserves to be hated by Pandora. she doesn't know if Federico is honest, or maybe he is lying so they can trust him again. but then why does his pain sound so real? why is he crying? he is truly broken.

Don-Savage knocks on the door. he tells them to be ready for anything. they are on a really dangerous place. this is a rodeo to be taken seriously. the beasts they are fighting are truly scary. they are real monsters.

Joaquin keeps drinking vodka. he is so drunk, he is thinking about his past. about the people he hurt. about the people he loved. about the pain he caused. about everything that he lose, he lose more than his pathetic soul.

he breaks the bottle of liquor. he looks at the ceiling. he feels a small pain on his fingers. he can feel the blood on his hands. the warm blood falling on the floor, drop by drop. he feels like an idiot. he lose his family so long ago, jet he refuses to let go of his memories.

there are things that hurt too much. it hurts even when it was so long ago. every time that the scar tries to heal. the pain comes again to claim some tears of blood. Joaquin asks himself, for how long? for how long is he going to keep fighting.

Don-Savage looks at a blind zombie. it walks quietly. the zombie doesn't seem to be interested on a meal. it seems to be lost. Don-Savage takes a knife out. he walks slowly towards the zombie. he kills it quietly. the zombie wasn't a problem, but Don-Savage wanted to give it a proper death.

there is a strange noise. he turns around. he is stabbed by a zombie holding a knife. Don-Savage falls on his knees. he starts to bleed. the zombie tries to stab him again. Don-Savage tries to stop the zombie with all his strength. he is stabbed once more.

Don-Savage was about to give up. Joaquin pulls him back. Beau tries to help Don-Savage with his wounds. Joaquin fights with the zombie. a bullet right on the brains ends the zombie. everyone turns to Federico.

Beau & Leah are taking Don-Savage inside a secure room. Joaquin thanks Federico. before either could say anything else. Chicken Wrath walks towards them. they tell him what happen. Chicken Wrath asks Joaquin to not drink anymore during duty.

Federico leaves them alone. Joaquin looks at Chicken Wrath with anger. he asks him to no put on question his leadership. Joaquin yields at Chicken Wrath until he nods. Joaquin looks down to the floor.

"I didn't told you my story to turn it into a tale, of how wrong I can be. I told you my story hoping you could understand. that no one is safe from death, nor from the phantoms of their past mistakes. so you better keep quiet and let me be who I can be."

said Joaquin loudly.

Chicken Wrath goes to the bathroom. he opens the door. he looks at a zombie. it attacks him. Chicken Wrath kicks him. he uses a dagger to end the zombie. he looks around of the bathroom. he looks at a sign painted with blood. it reads 'I don't want to turn. I want to die human.' he looks at the dead zombie.

Tale Mode On:

the janitor worked on the building for ten years. he loved working here. he used to be a janitor on another building before. his father before him was also a janitor. some may find shame on that fact. for him it was normal to be a janitor.

there is no shame on a job. a job that allows you to know everything about others, it isn't bad at all. he became friends with some of the employees. one of his closest friends is William, who is always friendly towards him. no matter what others think of William, he is always nice towards the janitor.

every night before leaving home, he used to smoke a cigar or two. William used to smoke with him. the two of them used to talk about their life. the janitor always had an advice for him. he is a happy man.

the janitor was working on the floor twenty. he saw Manolo, Macario, Sandra, William, and Anne leaving the elevator. the janitor smiling greets William. everyone was so freak out for what happened to think right. William looks at the janitor. he tells him what happened on the last few hours.

the janitor asks if there are more survivors. Manolo tells him that they aren't sure. they just ran as fast as they could. there were others with them, but those people are now dead or by themselves.

the janitor tells them about an exit he knows about. he doesn't give much information. he only tells them about a secret elevator, which is connected to an office. to be more precise to the CEO's office. they all can escape using that elevator.

the janitor looks at their faces. once they ask about the location of the office. he just said the number of the floor. floor 32, they asks how is that he knows that. the janitor smiling lets them know that is a janitors job to know it all. he laughs lightly.

William puts a cigar on his mouth. he is looking around. he then looks at Anne. he asks her if she is fine. she is only looking down on the floor. he tells her that he is going to protect her from all evil. she laughs thinking that he is joking.

the six of them are walking towards a cellar. it is on the end of the hall. the janitor tells them smiling that they will love what is in it. the others asks if there is food in it. the janitor smiling lets them know, that it is something better.

the janitor takes some keys from his pockets. he puts some glasses on. he opens the door of the cellar carefully. it seems like a normal closet. there are some cleaning products everywhere. the janitor carefully walks towards a painting of a famous Mexican wrestler. the janitor press a bottom, it was located on the chest.

he moves everything. he walks towards a wall on the back. the wall is opened by itself. on the other side of the wall is an armory. it has all kinds of weapons. the janitor explains that the boss is too powerful, so for fear to enemies he added 'protection.'

they all hear a sound. they all look back. three elevator doors are opening loudly. three groups of people come out of the elevators. they all seem to be so afraid. they are witness of the hell downstairs. the janitor invites them to follow him on the cellar.

they all take a weapon. the janitor took a revolver. he walks towards the bathroom. he hears a strange sound, like chains being dragged. he gets out of the bathroom. he looks at a door that is open. it appears to be empty.

the janitor ignores it. he goes to the bathroom. he piss while reading local newspaper. he is done. he washes his hands. he looks at himself on the mirror. he thinks about the date he has tonight. he hears the sound like chains being dragged again.

the janitor takes the revolver out. he looks around. he is so nervous. Schmidt is walking on the roof. the janitor looks up at the roof. Schmidt attacks him. the janitor shoots until he runs out of bullets. he wasn't able to survive the attack.

[End of the Tale.]

Chicken Wrath feels bad for what happened. he feels sorry for the janitor. he turns around ready to leave. there is a strange sound like chains being dragged. he steps back as fast as he can. Schmidt falls in front of him.

Schmidt with his hand attacks him. he leaves cuts on Chicken Wrath. he takes out his cool sword. he is ready for whatever is to come. Chicken Wrath isn't sure if he can take down that monster by himself, but he will try.

"damn, you are so ugly. I will give you mercy by killing you, no need to thank me."

said Chicken Wrath on a serious tone.

Schmidt spit out some chains. he takes the chains. on the end of the chains are some spikes. Schmidt attacks really fast. every move is abruptly savage with no coordination. Chicken Wrath avoids some attacks. he gets wounds on arms. wounds on legs. even on his own face.

"I am sorry human, my duty isn't humanities survival. my duty is to follow the orders of the messenger of the new world. is time to deliver eternal slumber."

yields the Talkative Zombie.

"oh please, is that all you can do? sorry but I am immune to harmless words. I am a man of action, not a man to take words too serious."

said Chicken Wrath mocking his rival.

"how dare you, you are nothing less than a little piece of the past. you are nothing less than a species that is meant to die. I am the symbol of tomorrow. I am the awakening of a new age. I am conqueror of all the relics of the past. I am the cleaner of humanity's unworthy stained souls. I am the beginning that brings end."

yields the Talkative Zombie with pride.

Chicken Wrath throws a smoke grenade. it explodes on Schmidt's face. Chicken Wrath moves behind the zombie. he stabs him on the back using his sword. the zombie falls on his knees as it laughs. it laughs on a really creepy way.

Chicken Wrath tries to take his sword out. it is stuck inside of the zombie. the sword breaks in three pieces. Chicken Wrath walks backwards. he tries to leave the bathroom. he is afraid of Schmidt. someone whispers on his neck.

Chicken Wrath turns around. he is stabbed on the chest by Ceyx. Chicken Wrath trembles abruptly. he walks backwards. he is bleeding a lot. he is afraid of his future, he fears for what is to come.

Ceyx softly pushes Chicken Wrath. with a tiny push Chicken Wrath's body is thrown against a wall. he falls on the floor unconscious. Schmidt 'the Talkative Zombie' looks at the dying body. he is thinking about eating him alive.

"stop your animal instincts. we have more important matters to deal with. there are more important mortals to eliminate. let him wait for his last breathe."

orders Ceyx on a cold tone of voice.
