(chapter 5) the mayor

Me and Daniel have been waiting on Eric and the mayor for the last 15ish minutes we are getting kind of bored just waiting. Eventually we see Eric and what we presume is the mayor. The mayor looks 5 foot 5 with a beer belly he introduces himself as Mayor Dave Daniel and I shake hands with him while introducing ourselves. Dave asks why we are armed in a humvee asking to stay for awhile. We have to explain to him what's going on and he just looks like he doesn't believe it. I ask for his phone since mine is dead and show him the news and footage of just what the hell is going on. He starts vomiting all over the ground because of how graphic what is being shown on the news. He asks i- is th-his tr-ue?

Both me and Daniel just solemnly nod our heads. Mayor Dave just breaks down in tears at our response. We both take a step back and ask Eric what happened. Eric says the video the news just showed had his elderly parents house destroyed and you can see them both dead wandering around. We wait for the mayor to regain composure, several minutes later he says I believe you now yeah you can stay for a few days but I gotta ask just where are you going? We explain that we got the message being broadcasted from the radio to head to Fort xxxx if you are 200ish miles close to it. We waited for his response well I guess we should evacuate the town to there if it's the safest place so far but probably not everyone will go.

(hey everyone incredibly short chapter for now as I am getting back into writing once more so sadly no 600+ plus word counts for a few chapters at least)
