Pilot 7/10

Cody aimed his gun as he slid down the hill, he pulled the trigger which attracted the attention of the two guards as they aimed their guns at him. "Woah there. Hold your horses." He raised his hands up, he had his mask on. "Why did you shoot us?" One of them spoke.

"I didn't. I shot at the birds." One bird soon fell down. "Is that who I think it is?!" One of the guards stared at Cody. "Shit…"

"Michael is that you?! Nice new mask!" One of the guards patted his back. "Y-yeah… that's me!" He pointed at himself.

"Okay so they're dumb." He thought to himself and he turned around to see a person with a mask on. "Who is this?" Michael spoke. "Tyler, who the hell is this?" He demanded.

Tyler looked at Cody. "Wait that's Michael! Then who are you!" He went close to Cody. Cody sighed. "I'm sorry."

Tyler tilted his head. "Sorry for what! We can be friends!" Tyler smiled and Cody pulled out his dual blade and slashed his neck, Tyler stumbled and fell down. "I'm not interested in being friends." Cody replied and grabbed the other guard, using him as a hostage.

"So you're the Michael person." He glared at Michael and he nodded. "You fucked with the wrong group." Michael pulled out his two dual blades. "Oh, a fair match?" Cody raised his hands up and lowered it, as soon as he did a bullet entered the other person's skull.

Cody dropped him. "I see you survived Zach's attacks." Michael spoke, walking around. "Sorry but Zach's on our side now." He snickered.

Michael laughed out loud. "Zach where are you!" He spoke and as soon as he called for Zach's name he walked out, a gun aimed at Dani. "Tsk."

"Sorry." Dani spoke, her condition seemed to worsen. Knowing the poison has now taken its course and now she has symptoms.

Zach looked at Dani. "Get down on the ground." He ordered Dani and Cody, he nodded and went to the ground. Dani did as well.

"What do we do with them?" Zach looked at Michael. "You know, kill them. Like Hayden ordered." He had an evil grin on his face, Michael walked over to Cody and pressed his dual blades on Cody's neck. "So, any final words?"

"Yeah, fuck you." Cody looked up at Michael, Michael's eyes widened in rage. He was about to say something but a gunshot went off and Michael fell down to the ground.

Zach lowered the rifle. "Seems like the plan was a success." Zach smiled and helped Dani up.

Zach led the way towards the warehouse. "So what's the plan?" Cody looked at Zach. "Well, you're going to slide down a hill and shoot whatever you find."

Dani interrupted. "That sounds dumb as hell." Dani spoke. "Listen to what I have to say." He responded and looked at Cody.

"I reported to Michael that I had you guys tracked. Therefore he is expecting you guys to come. There's usually two guards. One named Devin and one named Tyler, Michael is just like Cody because he has dual blades. He's an opponent that's risky." Zach spoke.

"I can fight him!" Cody raised his arms and clenched them, showing his muscles. Zach sighed. "He's trained to fight. Hayden taught him. He's— well… Hayden's right hand man." He spoke. "Since you two have similarities, they will mistake you for Michael and yeah. I'll bring Dani out and once we have a chance I'll shoot him."

Cody nodded and looked at Dani. "Let's do this."

•••

Michael clenched his stomach. "What the fuck was that for!" He winced, Cody stood up and walked over to him. He pulled out his gun and aimed it at Michael's head. "He's on our side. Like I said." Cody pulled the trigger, and a zombified Tyler stood up.

Dani tripped Tyler and stabbed him with her blade, she wiped it off and looked at the warehouse doors. "We're going to sneak in?" Dani spoke and Zach nodded. "I know the way in and out. It should be fast." Zach looked at Cody.

"You ready?" He asked Cody and he nodded. "Ready as ever…"

Annabelle woke up to Alice tugging her shoes. "Wake up!" Alice spoke, her tail wagging. "What is it?" Annabelle patted her and she sat up. "You gotta go find your sister and friend!" She smiled. "Stalker and Andrew gathered a few people." Alice ran off.

Annabelle got ready and went over to the doors. "Thank you. Really." She smiled, Stalker looked at her. "No problem, we will find them." He smiled, Andrew nodded. She spotted Emmy. "Emmy— why are you coming?!" She froze, knowing she has a son who is only 4 years old.

"You need help, you're going to get it. That's all I'll say." Emmy gave her a smile. "You forgot about me, how rude!" Jug pouted, he held a metal rebar which had 4 inch metal spikes around it.

Annabelle giggled and hugged Jug. "I didn't. Let's go find them."

She noticed people she never saw before helping her, this is a part of humanity she hasn't seen since the beginning of the apocalypse. Since the loss of her and her sister's parents.

"Who are the others?" She pointed at the small group of 5 people, there was an old man, in his 60's. He held a spear. The other 4 were young, maybe in their 20's-30's. "The name's Groger." The old man spoke.

"That's a name I haven't heard of before…" Annabelle mumbled. "Oh don't get him started—" Stalker was interrupted by the so-called Groger.

"I made this name at the beginning of the end! I am Groger, the survivor of Atlanta!" Groger spoke and he suddenly forgot what he said. "What did I say again…where am I…?" Groger scratched his head. "Oh Stalker! Where are we going?" He asked.

"We're finding family of hers." Stalker spoke and looked down. "What's happening?" Annabelle questioned and Andrew looked at Groger and then at Annabelle. "Groger has dementia." He frowned and Annabelle looked down. "I'm sorry."

"You didn't know. It's fine." Andrew smiled. "The other 4 are named Joseph, Noah, Luna and Ava." Andrew smiled. "Now… let's find them!"

Annabelle nodded. "Don't worry sis, I'll find you." She looked up at the sky.
