Consequences

After eating breakfast, Wolfe got out to bring the truck inside the gates. Claire wanted to stay on watch, so he went out to explore the nearby petrol station and the store. Surprisingly, he didn't find a single infected in the area. He got quite happy when he found some simple radio walkie talkies. He picked a few of them and put them on his bag. He found some jellies and candies. And a pack of icecream inside the fridge. He grabbed it and quickly walked towards the motel. In reception, "Hey Luke, do you have space in your fridge? I found some icecream in the store. I'm thinking of giving them after dinner". Luke nodded with a smile on his face and took them inside. Climbing back up, he knocked the room. Leah opened the door and looked at what Wolfe had in his hand with wide eyes. She took the chocolate bar that he offered her and took another for her sister. Claire looked at him, "Got one for me?", she asked. "Sorry. Only found two. But I got jellies for us". Wolfe said while throwing a jelly towards Claire which she caught, unwrapped and started eating. Wolfe smiled looking at them and walked out. It was hos time to take some rest. He went inside another room and closed his eyes laying down on the bed.

When he woke up, it was already dark outside. "You really do sleep well", Claire said while sitting on the chair. "You should have woken me up", Wolfe complained thinking he had slep the whole day. "Don't worry. Everything's fine. You needed the rest", she said. "What about dinner?", he asked. "Luke said he's preparing it and bring up later". Wolfe nodded and went to the bathroom sink and splashed water on his face. Looked around for the towel but it wasn't there. Claire looked up and found it on the bed and threw it towards him. "Claire, I just thought if the vaccine thing doesn't work out, how about you come with me to my place? It's the safest place even in this situation. Leah and Alisha will also accompany us. I also want to go back to that farm where I was going before you guys took me and see if everyone's safe", Wolfe told Claire about what he had been thinking who didn't give any response.They soon had dinner together. After Luke went down with the plates, Leah started yawning. "You guys should sleep. I'll stay on watch". Claire nodded and helping the kids on bed, walked out of the room to go to other one.

It was midnight, Wolfe was keeping watch from the first floor when he suddenly saw a shadow behind the truck. He quickly positioned his gun and started descending down silently towards the truck. He quietly and stealthily moved towards the truck, suddenly he jumped forward with the gun aiming high at the person behind the truck. It was Luke. "Hey,what are you doing here?", Wolfe asked in surprise. Luke was peeing. "What? Don't you see what I'm doing?", Luke asked in annoyance. "Sorry man! I thought someone was trying to take our truck. By the way, why are you gardening here at night?", Wolfe asked jokingly. Zipping up his pants, Luke turned around and looked at Wolfe, "It's my motel, I can shit wherever I want and you should mind your own business". " Hey! Chill man, that was a joke", Wolfe said and added, "Sorry fir pointing my gun at your back like that, Good night", and saying that he turned around to leave. But Luke called him from behind, "Hey!", Wolfe turned around and saw Luke jumped at him, and before he could react, the dagger in Luke's hand had stabbed his heart. Wolfe looked at him unbelievably, with questioning eyes. "Why didn't the drug work on you? I could have killed you in your sleep", he said. Wolfe lost strength in his body and fell down on the ground while blood gushed out his chest.

Luke took Wolfe's body inside reception, and dragged it further inside to his store room. There, a lot of bodies were hung in the cold storage groaning at them. He pulled down a hook, stuck it in Wolfe's back and hanged him with others. "He's taking his time turning", Luke laughed like a maniac and exited the storage. He climbed the stairs slowly with a knife in his hand. He stood in front of room 13, slowly picked the second key of the room and opened it. There he saw the girls sleeping on the bed calmly. He quickly tied up their hands and legs together, closed Alisha's mouth with a duct tape and just as he was about to put one on Leah, she opened her eyes. She immediately tried to scream but before that he had already closed her mouth with his hand to suppress her voice. "Shhhh... Don't make noise, or I'll kill your sister", he threatened her with knife on Alisha's throat. That act suppressed her and he slowly released his hand and closed her mouth with the tape. He stood up and went to the door, turned back and looked at the frightened girl with a wicked smile. "I'll be back soon", he said before leaving the room. Now he slowly went outside room 11. Opened the door with second key and slowly opened the door. *Bang*. He got shot on the shoulder suddenly and as the door opened, Claire appeared with a gun aiming at him. He ran towards her with his knife ready to stab but she shot again stopping his movement. He started going back as Claire approached him. Just as he was on the corridor, Claire shot at him once more and he fell back from the railings. She ran and looked down and saw Luke lying down, not moving at all.

She ran towards the room to see the girls while calling out Wolfe. Inside she saw unconscious Alisha and a scared Leah with the radio in her hands, crying. She immediately untied their ropes and freed them. Leah immedeately jumped and hugged her. She caught her in embrace and tried to calm her. "Wolfe?", the girl asked. Claire immediately got up and shook Alisha trying to wake her up. Alisha opened her eyes slowly and looked at them in confusion. "Close the door, I'm going to look for Wolfe", Claire said. Leah nodded while Alisha didn't know what was happening.

Claire came out of the room and descended from the first floor, she looked around but did not find Luke's body. She saw blood stains going towards the reception. He had dragged himself to the reception. Ith her gun ready to shoot any instant, she walked towards the reception. Inside she saw him dragging him further inside. She shot to the wall telling him to stop but he started going even faster. Just as she entered the next room, sge saw him open another door, to cold storage, he looked back and went inside dragging his wounded body. Leah quickly ran towards the storage room but what she saw there frightened her. More than thirty corpses hanging inside like some animal, ready to be cut. Seeing her face brought a evil smile at Luke's face. "Look at my collection, isn't it amazing?", he said laughing. " You sick bastard", Claire said with anger. "I wish I could add you to my collection. The kids would have been a nice addition too. But seems like I have to be satisfied with only this one", he said with a loud voice and looked at the direction where Wolfe was hanging lifeless, blood dripping from his body. Looking at Wolfe, Claire lost it. Tears came out of her eyes while she picked up her gun and shot at Luke but just in time, Luke pulled the lever making all the infected free from the hooks while Wolfe fell down on the ground. Claire couldn't shoot Luke as he was between them. A walker bit Luke, sealing his fate. She looked at Wolfe's body one last time before running out of the room. She came out running and tried to close the door to the reception from outside but to no avail. The lock was broken. She looked around to find something to use and stop the infected from coming out. Suddenly, the sisters appeared behind them calling her, "Lane what happened? Why are you closing the door?", Leah asked. "There are a lot of infected inside", Claire said. "We have to run away then", Alisha said in panic. "But...", Claire looked towards the reception and then at the truck with weapons. "Alisha, go bring the keys to the truck from my room, hurry", Claire said. "Is this the key?", Leah asked while showing the key hanging on her finger. Without saying anything, Claire grabbed it and quickly ran towards the truck. "Get up and don't come down until I say so", she ordered the sisters while she climbed the truck. She started the engine and press accelerator and drove the truck and blocked the reception door. The infected were just about to come out but were stopped by the truck. Claire came out of the truck and picked up few guns from the back. She told Leah and Alisha to come down, while she started a car in the side, and told thm to quickly get in as the infected started coming out from the fields. As soon as they got inside, she started the engine and drove away without looking back.

Inside, Luke was still alive as the infected had gotten out of the storage, leaving him who had hidden beneath Wolfe's body in time, although he was still bit. He threw the lifeless body to the side and quickly dragged himself to close the door to the storage. Just as he turned after closing the door, he saw Wolfe standing there like some ghost. As he opened his eyes, a scream came from inside the storage that could be heard outside the motel.
