5 Hands Of The Trusted

"Timmot! Answer me for the last time!" Max shouted. "I was thinking of how I should tell you this... We have a zombie virus like disease on our hands." 5 minutes, where we going!" Max shouted, I heard a shotgun in the background. "Your a detective and I hear shotguns? What kind of detective are you?" I asked. "Your a funny one, who are you?" He asked me. "Timmot, as you say, has been working with me to solve this problem." I answered. "Hello there" Succubus shouted from the background.

"Don't mind her, shes just an annoying magician that was working for the main infected." Tim said. "Call me Succubus!" She shouted laughing. Tim sighed and I started getting onto Succubus. She stopped spouting nonsense after a good minute or two of shouting at her to shut up.

"Looks like you have your damned hands full." Max said from the phone, "Okay, so we are going to the large park near central." Tim said. "Make 5 minutes 10 seconds, I'm driving by the park right now." Max announced, then we heard a car door open then shut followed by some cursing as we heard the car door open an close once more. "My coat got trapped in the door" Max said with a disappointed tone. "Give us thirteen minutes and then we'll be there, gather as many familiar faces as possible that will help us solve this problem. And Preston, Step on it!" The two of us shouted in agreement and we headed out.

As we drove, I turned on the radio to find out about the situation.

'Many people rush to hospitals after 2 men were reported cannibalizing their victims. What do you think about this Kisha?'

'I don't know Mr.Intabyua? These 2 men are currently in custody though, right?'

'Yes Kisha, they are in custody.'

'Any words from them Mr.Intabyua?'

'Yes Kisha, this stuff was a bit off though. As if something bigger is going on.'

'How big Mr.Intabyua?'

'Its to be deter-'

There was nothing being said that was gonna help, we would have to go to streamers, social media posters, live broadcasts, and bloggers. These would be our best chance of seeing the action going around. "Tim, get in the back and check all blogs from 2 hours ago and then up to 30 minutes ago. We need a real update on the situation. Limit it to 10 minutes away from the initial point where we were ambushed and learned the truth about it, that it being Liam." Timmot looked at me and nodded, before rushing to the back avoiding Succubus.

"How are you two gonna deal with me? Don't you think that they will come after me?" Succubus asked. "Nope, for one they have been taken in by law enforcement, and 2, why would they care?" She looked at me with a face that was both angered and accepting. I looked forward again and kept driving.

5 minutes into the ride, a kid, maybe a teenage jumped out in front of us. I slammed on the brakes, and the kid had fallen back, staring at us as we screeched to a halt. A few more feet and this kid would've been roadkill. "Help!" The kid shrieked, as he jumped up and ran to the side of the van, the driver side where I was sitting. I rolled down the window, "What's wrong, tell me quick!" I shouted. "Some dude, maybe around 30 bit my arm near at the train station, about an hour and a half ago." This kids eyes were decently calm, it's been a bit and there was a lot more than just him, so it wasn't or rather it won't be a rare occurrence now.

I took out my P99 and set it on my lap, enough to where the kid couldn't see it. At the same time, I couldn't even see the kids face, they had a beanie and a bandanna on. "Take that shit off kid." I said. The kid was a bit confused, they had their chest up to the van so I couldn't just look to see if they had a rack anyways, even the chance of them having one too though anyways was low. Their voice was also muffled by their harsh breathing and the bandanna catching on their mouth every time they talked.

"I said take it off!" As I shouted this at the kid, I took out my gun, putting it right against their forehead. The kid tensed up, as my finger slightly pulled on the trigger, not enough that it shot, but enough that if the kid moved too much, they knew they was dead. "Take it off now!" I demanded yet again. The kid slowly took it off to show a young boy. On the right side of his face, around where his cheek and ear meet, there was a bite mark. There was a bit of blood on it, but early sings of blood coagulation was appearing. This kid was already a danger to us being here.

"Sorry kid." The kid screamed and I pulled the trigger.

His head jerked back then forward for a moment before his lifeless body fell to the ground. Tim in the back held in tear or two, and Succubus realized how in danger she was had she been an infected. I myself wasn't phased, he was no longer human. I had no reason to feel empathy, or pity. He was dead, infected. That was all. We drove on till we got to the park.

As we pulled in, I noticed a young man in seemed to be a tan officer uniform with a brown overcoat. The man walked up to the van and knocked on it, he was right in the way of my door. I grabbed the side of the door and then handle. I waited for him to knock once more before I shoved it open and sent the man down landing on the ground.

As I raced out and aimed my gun, Tim came from the front and put his hand on my shoulder. "This is Detective Max Nelson." Detective Nelson stood up, before dusting off his overcoat. The second he looked up, he charged me into the side of the van and pinned my arms. "Do you realize who the fuck I am dammit!" I shoot my head with a sinister smile on my face to piss him off more.

For half a second, he removed his hand and grabbed his gun. He instantly shoved it to my jugular, my breathing slowed, and my heart beat even faster. "Listen here, I can kill you faster than you can say-" Let's settle down there" Timmot interrupted, getting the two of us separated. He grunted, and I put my nose up to the sky.

"Let me out, I'ma die in here!" Dammit Succubus" I shouted back. "Don't call her that!" Tim responded sighing. "So, whose the damned leader here in short?" Detective Nelson asked. Timmot pointed to me as I walked out with Succubus, who was still tied up. "You damned sexually abusing hooligan! You dare do that to a girl!" Detective Nelson shouted, he just blew a fuse. He tried to charge me and Succubus as Timmot tried his best to keep Detective Nelson away.

"She's an enemy in a way you retarded buffoon of a detective!" I shouted. The two of us continued this for a few more exchange of insults till our throats were sore and he was tired out from trying to escape from Timmot to help Succubus free. The three of us took a minute to calm down before we got ready to move somewhere else in the park with less people. Detective Nelson had already picked us a spot and said he had 2 others that were willing to help.

When we got there, 3 people had sat down prior there. "Thought you said you weren't interested, Neku." I didn't realize you brought the, Kira with you." The man replied. A girl who was sitting down there smiled after the man said the Kira. "So, your a killer that's friends with a cop. Huh?" I said. The girl looked my way, and waved. The girl had a smile, so deceiving, I knew she wasn't by that Neku guy's compliment.

"Name lives up to my reputation." She said happily, no hint of murderous intent in her voice. She was good, no amazing at hiding the fact that she wanted to kill almost everyone here. I could tell that Detective Nelson was on guard too, more so of a reason to fear her. "So, whats these three names?" I asked. "Dan'in is the tall one, Kira is the girl, and Neku is the smaller man." You bastard!" He shouted at Detective Nelson. "Anyways, let's get this started!" He announced as he sat down.

I grabbed Succubus' hair and walked towards the center of the small audience I had. All of them were visually pissed, Detective Nelson by far the most. I shoved her to the ground and pointed at her, "This here is the girl we call, Succubus." Liar, only you call her that you bullshitting bastard!" Timmot interrupted. "Yeah, Yeah. Anyways Succubus is the only one of us with true connections to the two things we're after. Granted there are a lot more now, but the two we are after now are the worst ones so far. They want this to happen. Why they want it we don't know, but she might!"

"Not only does she have connections, she's been in their heads, in a way. She is a true magician, she can manipulate the stuff around her to a degree, control people to an extent, and more, trust me. Tim and I witnessed it first hand. Granted she is amazing, but it doesn't seem its that good for attacking people, so we got the upper hand once I drew her attention away long enough to apprehend her."They all store her down, trying to see if anything either would happen to them or if anything hinted at how good she was.

"You damned fools, I know some of you want her to do something to you, but don't expect it to work. It's based off physical contact I believe. That's how me and Timmot got affected, we were at a diner, and the two anticipated that we would go there after. We are dealing with masterminds here." All except Timmot looked expressionless, they knew something was up, but didn't realize it was to this extent. "This isn't some zombie show that Detective Nelson said, its a real deal with intelligent things trying to kill us, or infect us rather.

I looked at everyone and sighed, "Anyone that doesn't want to be part of this, leave now." Succubus started to inch away, "Not you dammit!" Besides Succubus trying to leave, no one else tried to get away. "So we are dealing with smart zombies? So what, zombies are slow and only have a adequate amount of strength. They would only have us in numbers." Dan'in said. I looked at him and burst out laughing. "You don't understand do you. If that were the case, this meeting would have never been possible. These suckers not only have the human intelligence before they were infected, but they are stronger, faster, and more agile than the average human. And don't even start on the Discords." Dan'in looked at me with true despair, all that hope he had was gone within an instant.

"Wait, if that's the case, then shouldn't you have turned a while ago?" He asked, "No, its takes 40-60 hours for them to fully get infected. So in all honesty, we are screwed once that time is up. From there, its almost no stopping them. They don't die from blood wounds, they just regrow the muscle and skin. The only way to kill them is with fatal wounds or rendering them useless in all senses of the matter, breaking their bones. They can regrow everything except vital organs and bones."

"How hard is it to kill one?" Kira blurted out. I looked her sternly in the eyes and said, "Taking one on alone is suicide."
