After having enough rest Craig wakes up, but he did not move. He slowly opened his eyes and he can see the reflection the 4 of them talking. Craig moves and he can feel something around his feet, he's in a bit of a bind. He moves his feet around trying to get rid of it but the movement was too obvious. Rodrick noticed it and asked Zachary, who is beside Craig, to check on him. Zach leaned over to see Craig.
"Asleep, he's just moving around like earlier"
The 4 men got up and put the fire near Craig, they seem to be moving out. Craig overheard their conversation and he prepares himself to escape. He hears the pallet being moved and he waits until there is no more sound. He moves his hand down and pulls hurriedly pulls the binding off, which was easy. After taking it off he got out of the sleeping bag prepared to burn the ropes on his wrists. He crawled towards the fire and sees the 4 men leaning on the wall.
"Nice"
"Cool, so where are you going?"
"...."
"Come on Craig, you don't want to disappoint your brother right?"
"Eli- no, are you by some chance-"
"Related to a Elizabeth, yes.. I'm her brother, nice to meet you, can you tell me where Niall is?"
"I just can't say that"
"Right"
Tobias and Rodrick untied Craig and sat him up, he expected them to beat him up but instead they took care of him. They fed him and gave him clothes to change, he gets out and overhears the conversation between Tobias and Rodrick, about a 'vaccine'. He looks in awe as not it hit him that Tobias is alive, he is bitten, and he is immune.
"There you are good, Where is Natalia and the other kids-"
"You"
"Yes, uninfected"
"Wha- Niall dragged your body and you were, dea- what is happening?"
"Yeah"
"About the vaccine that you guys are planning, is that really possible?"
"Yeah, but not easy though, we need to get pass GWN, and if we want to do that we have to take over it, some men in that community will kill just to get their hands on a vaccine and use it for themselves"
"How do you know though, like Rodrick?"
"Yes"
"Said, there variants and- What if its weak"
"Well poor Niall then"
"What Zach? I mean Bryce"
"I put some saliva on him but your blood was not potent enough, it only slowed it down.. so he had to lose an arm, either way it was pretty much broken so..."
"Why did you have to beat him up?"
Tobias did not respond, 'just to vent out anger?' Craig said loudly. His face is filled with disappointment because of the response that Tobias gave, dead air. He walks around the room confused as to what to do, or what they can do.
"What are you supposed to do now, you tries your test on a fucking man, did you atleast try on like a fucking pig?"
"....."
"Fuck, The community is doing much better without any of your interference, even the members of SPECTRE, they really are taking care of everyone, and I don't believe you saying Hearst is shit"
"Well it is Craig, I've been there once"
"When was that?"
"About a couple of months ago, almost a year"
"Almost a fucking year, I go there every 2 weeks and what ever you are accusing them of, is utter bullshit Tobias... The GWN GN- whatever the fuck is doing well, and if you guys interfere it, and you Tobias of all people, destroying what we made, then you would-"
"Then what about Norfolk Craig, Me and Oscar got kicked out because of that"
"Oscar?"
"Alpha"
"Because if he keeps screaming and saying that it was planned then, people will believe it... it was an accident, the wall fell in the dead of night... it was under maintenance when a massive horde came"
"And did the horde came out of nowhere?"
"No, we were watching it, we know it will hit us but we did not expect it to hit that early"
"Some one mu-"
"No, no one can"
"Then what about my niece"
"Zach?"
Craig replied with Zach's name to Rodrick's question, they all look to him, looking down on his feet. His eyes widened, as if he is guilty of something. He starts to tremble.
"Was it a lie?"
"I didn't mean to"
"So she's alive?"
"No, Louanne is dead, Zach left her trying to save... who ever the fuck that was he was trying to rescue, Elizabeth fell into a deep depression and Samantha was there to help her cope..."
Rodrick upon hearing what Craig said felt enraged, angry enough to lift his gun and fire Zach hitting his right thigh. 'What the fuck!" one of them screamed, Bryce went to help Zach who is putting pressure on his wound, the bullet went through. Rodrick fired once more hitting Bryce right on a fatal part, his heart. Bryce immediately died, the world slowed down a bit, Zach is wounded and bleeding, Craig is there pointing a his rifle to Rodrick and shooting.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
Tobias jumps Craig and they fell towards the barrel. The barrel deformed and burns Craig, Tobias starts to choke him to death but Craig grabbed cinders and threw it at him. He pushed Tobias off him and starts to beat him up. Tobias pathetically gets his arms up trying to defend himself.
"I will not help you, but Dylan misses you I'll take you with me"
"f---Randy"
Craig slowly got up with his right eye damaged, he grabs his rifle and aimed it at Zach.
"The gun will decide your fate"
He puts his finger on the trigger and Zachary braces for his demise. Tobias gets up quickly and fights Craig once more. Craig keeps throwing punches to Tobias' left rib and he starts to weaken, Tobias gets down and Craig barrages him with punches. Zach grabs the gun and aims at Craig, but someone kicks the gun off and quickly lifted him up.
"Craig stop.... CRAIG!"
*Heavy breathing*
He turns around and sees Oscar with Foxtrot and Delta.
"No"
He loads his rifle but Tobias stabs him right on the neck, killing him easily.
"Tobias"
"....."
Tobias aims his gun to his head and shoots.
