Last Song - Part 15

***

Meanwhile, in a building, Morgan, and with other five survivors have left the house they've stayed for a whole night, all heading toward the nearest beach by taking the car Morgan has "took it" last night on a sneak. The man drives the car because, believe it or not, he is the only person from that group who is having a driver license. But what kind of person would need a driver license in a zombie apocalypse?

Morgan dodges a few zombies there and there, smashes in a few corpses who were raising up to their feet and running over at least six zombies. Those six were most likely not the brightest ones, but probably not even the stupidest. Anyway, the ride was a wild one for them, but they thankfully managed to get to the nearest Beach on this city. And arriving at there, they got surprised to see a military boat in there, who is checking the survivors who have arrived in there with the same reason as the group, to get to safety.

A soldier observer the car stopping in front of the beach, letting his comrades handles the giant group of probably twenty survivors who are checked to see if they are infected. The soldier, waits for the leader of this small group, Morgan, to leave the car. When he did, the soldier points his thermometer to him, he approaches the man, close enough with that thing to the forehead of Morgan, and waits until the beeping is heard, which it takes a second to happen.

"36,9." says the soldier looking at the thermometer, then he looks at Morgan. "Are you a smoker?"

"No." replies Morgan to the soldier.

"Have you been bitten by one of these?"

"No, sir." says Morgan thinking the soldier asked about the zombies.

"Wait. You were one of those you signalled us?" asks the soldier.

"Yes. I am Morgan Graham."

"And where is your other partner? Jayce Robertson, I believed it was his name."

"Is safe. He comes with another group." says Morgan to the soldier.

"Good." says the soldier. "You and your group should go inside the shack." he says pointing at a small container house at a few steps from them. "Another boat will come and take you in."

"Why we cannot go in that one?" asks the teacher from the car sounding scared by this.

"Sir! This is the protocol." says the soldier to the teacher, he takes the thermometer to check the temperature of the teacher. He approaches him close, checks the temperature on the forehead.

After the beep sound came, the soldier is looking at the screen, makes the soldier looks at the teacher, feeling sad for the man. The soldier takes his pistol, he aims at the forehead of the teacher, and he pulls the trigger to the man. Killing it instantly. Morgan stood there scared, he looked at the soldier and he angrily asks him.

"Why?!"

"He had 38." says the soldier to the man. The soldier checks the skin of the teacher and sees the man was starting to develop greenish skin. He turns to Morgan and says to him, as he got closer to the soldier to see the state of the dead member of his group.

The people in the car are looking scared. They do not know the man in their car was infected and they could also be infected. The student and Elena start checking their temperature and their skins. Thankfully, they do not possess the signs of the teacher from earlier. The soldier proceeds to open the door and checks the temperature of Morgan's' mother, she sat on the back seat near the left door of the car where the body of the teacher laid.

"37,1." says the soldier, and checks the skin colour. It is normal. "You can go in the container." he helps the old lady leaves the car, then checks the temperature of Elena. "37,0." he says to her, then he hands her to Morgan. "Are these your relatives?"

"Yes." says Morgan to the soldier.

"You can go ahead." he says to them and remain to check the unknown student and the sister of Elena.

"She is also with us." says Elena pointing at Anya for the soldier who was checking her temperature.

"36,9." says the soldier to Anya. "Go on. You are safe."

Anya walks toward Morgan, Elena and their mother. They hug each other and wait for the student to be checked. The student however, when he got his temperature checked and reveal if he is infected, he tells the soldier the following.

"Can I become a volunteer to help you, guys?"

"You have to complete a form in another container. I will guide you there."

The soldier is going with the student to another tent, leaving Morgan, Anya, Elena and their Mom walking to the container by themselves. As they walk to that container, the girls are trembling, and Morgan can feel this trembling because of Anya, Elena and her Mom, who are holding on him on strong grasps. He tells them that everything will be okay as they are walking toward the container.

Entering the said container, the four people will notice there is a small group of six survivors, all Indian nationality, and three soldiers who are staying in there, unarmed with fire weapons, only machetes, they are staying near the walls of the container, and talking with some of the survivors. The soldier looks to be Indian and they wear a strange uniform, a uniform that is spelling an English word: "Organization".

"Have you people been checked?" asks a soldier stopping the three people from entering the container.

"Yes. We have been checked." says Morgan.

"Who checked you?"

"It was a soldier, but he has gone with a survivor at another container to enlist him on the volunteer or something."

"I am sorry, but I cannot let you inside after the soldier who checked you give me the report."

"Can't you do it?" asks Elena.

"With all due respect, if you four were checked I need to wait for the report of that soldier. Now, I order you four to remain outside and wait until the soldier you said it checked you will come back to report."

"Okay." says Morgan to that soldier.

And the four member of Graham family waited outside for the solider to come back and give the report to them. As they've stayed outside, the group notices the body of the teacher rising up on its feet, but it is immediately shoot in the head by a sniper positioned on a rooftop of a crane. The shot hit the head, and made the body lose its balance, and almost fall on the ocean. It remained with its head on the edge of the beach.

"Poor thing." said the mother of Morgan shaking as she saw the body of the teacher getting shot.

They've had another teacher, but this one sneaked on them in the morning and left the house with the assault rifle and forty bullets, a filled magazine of the gun. The man left them while all were about to wake up. He did not leave a note nor talked with anybody last night because he was acting a little weird. The group is wondering if the teacher managed to survive on the night, or got the misfortune to become zombie food.
