Help

"Dad, How do you intent on helping Alex with just a shotgun?" Brian shouted

"Have you forgotten the rune already?" Mick asked

"Rune what rune? I don't remember anything about a rune, Can you elaborate what rune are we talking about here? Is it like the ones on video games?" Brian said

"Just shut up and I'll show you once its ready." Mick said

"Wait is that why Ayesha isn't here? Why am I always the only one who doesn't know a thing? You sure that I'm not adopted?"

Mick just ignored Brian's comments as they continued walking on the zombie infested road. Thankfully, Mick has brought a bag of shells with him which just proves to be so much helpful despite its heaviness weighing on his back. As much as he wants to ask Brian to hold it, He is sure that Brian will just drop it somewhere if here ends up tripping over.

Tyler who has been silently watching Mick use the shotgun is fascinated by how accurate his shots are. He wonders how Mick is able to not miss despite the fact that he is almost 60. Tyler thought that Mick's eyes should be bad now considering his age but he seems to disregard this thought after seeing so many zombie heads blow up.

Several flesh hungry zombies started moving towards the sounds of the gunshots and some are going towards the crackling sound of the flame destroying several light poles.

Knowing that the whole deal with the zombies isn't going to last for long, Mick had started thinking of another plan which would help him speed things up on his side while Ayesha is preparing the rune. No matter how many times he scratch his head, there is just nothing he could think of that would help him.

He may have 90 shells on his pockets and 50 more on the bag, just by seeing the zombies; He knew it isn't enough to deal with all of those running undead.

Not far from them, A light had shown itself. It gets closer and closer and a sound of a vehicle had entered their ears. Mick, Brian and Tyler started to wonder whether this people in the car is trouble or not. The last thing they need is a psychopath making things worse by scattering the zombies.

The car had appeared on their field of sight, and it is a blue hatchback running passed the speed limit. Tyler had tightened his gripped with the bat he is holding just to be prepared in case an idiot comes out of the vehicle.

A few meters away from them, The drivers of the vehicle seems to have slammed the brake just by seeing the back of the car went up.

Brian went on a fighting stance despite not knowing anything about fighting. Two of the car doors opened and it revealed two people, first is a bearded man about 6 foot tall and the other one is a girl whose hair seems to have undergone wolf cut.

"We're not here to fight." The bearded man said

"Who are you?!" Brian shouted

"I'm Matsumoto and this is my daughter Danica, We are looking for the place in this picture." Matsumoto then showed them a photo of a screenshot from the broadcast.

Mick raised an eyebrow out of curiosity, He wonders what a seemingly normal person is going to do in a zombie infested area. He's not sure whether helping them would be a good thing or a bad thing. Tyler on the other hand wants to pull Brian to the side and tell him it is not a good idea to help them.

"What are you going to do there anyway?" Tyler asked

"I'm afraid that's confidential information." Matsumoto said

"Then we won't help you, Right Mister Alessi?!" Tyler said trying to sound tough but he only received silence from Mick.

"Alright, You see our friend Alex Pine and Owen Grace are in there and we want to help him get out of his scorching flames." Danica said

"It's supposed to be confidential Danica." Matsumoto said

"Sorry dad, Just thought that we might need to tell the truth." Danica replied

Mick smiled as he realized that these two weren't lying. Mick's very first priority was to help his son who is currently suffering from being burned alive so this two were clearly one thing that they are going to need to speed things up. He now has gotten an idea of what he should do.

"Well thank god you two are not sicko hunters who plans on using us as stepping stones. Anyway, I am Alex's step father; I would help you get there but can you wait a couple minutes?" Mick said

"Uh what for? Your step son is literally burning." Danica said

"You two may be geniuses but bro's flames are something that a fire extinguisher couldn't kill. You can try pouring a whole swimming pool on him and still, his flames would still be waving!" Brian said

Mick called Ayesha and asked her to come to his current location, the call wasn't long enough but it sure kills quite a lot of Danica's patience. He asked Ayesha to bring the the used rune so that they could use it just in case an emergency sparks up.

A few seconds later, Ayesha popped out of thin air holding two pieces of cloth. Matsumoto and Danica were puzzled as to what the young lady was holding. Ayesha gave both cloths which contains the runes that she drew on her own. Of course she's had some help using tutorials from the internet.

"What are those mister? Could we go now? Alex and Owen can die any second now?" Matsumoto said

"I know, I know. Here grab onto this cloth." Mick handed over one of the two cloths. "I'm pretty sure your daughter might know how to use a rune so just activate it once you've come 5 meters close to Alex."
