Maine Street - Part 17

Two hours later, the survivor team have gotten at the radio station. but, they encounter a problem. They see two vans, who are blocking the entrance of the building where the radio station is located, all the windows and the doors are locked, blocked with logs like a barricade. The team of four survivors are hiding in the trees from the forest they took it to get it there, and they are whispering to each other.

"There are survivors there?" asks Raoul to Jon, who is next to him.

"Not sure." says Jon, taking a small peak at the radio station, then he looks at Andrew and Raoul's brother. "We have to make sure they are peaceful and not bad people."

"Right… So, what is the plan, boss?"

"You," he points at Andrew. "And you," he then points at Raoul's brother. "You are trying to go at the behind door of the building. It must have a door where the employees are allowed to enter. If it is locked, try to break it through, or use a window."

"Alright, boss!" says Andrew and he walks behind a few trees. then following by Raoul's brother.

"And our plan. Is to go at them." he points at the blocked entrance with vans. He gets his gun prepared, and leaves the hideout.

Raoul follows Jon orders, and he equips his pistol, and he is slowly walking at the back of Jon. These two survivors are walking forward to those vans. Raoul is feeling nervous because the people inside may not be good people like the one from the bus he encounters yesterday, or like the ones from the Hospital Rooftop. He is pulling the safety from his pistol and aims at the building, as Jon does. They walk slowly, all preparing for shooting anything on sight.

As they walk closely to the vans, they hear a growl coming from the building. Raoul and Jon are stopping from walking, they aim their weapons and yell.

"Hello! Is someone there?"

Nobody responded. Jon looked around carefully, hoping there will not be a trap or anything that would resemble as a survivor trying to kill him. But, there is nothing. Nobody responded, he decides to yell again the same thing. Still, no response. They are slowly walking to the vans and as they got close to the first one, they backed away quickly as a zombie emerged from the ground and jumped past the vans to Jon. He grabbed Jon, pinned him down, and he was about to bite him.

Raoul aims his pistol at that creature, and he shoots the head of the zombie who jumps from the vans. The thing falls on the ground, being at close distance to bite Jon face. It then gets thrown to the street by Jon, and he looks scared at the creature.

"Thank you, Raoul!"

"What is this thing?" asks Raoul as he looks at the skin who is yellow and red. "This is probably different from the others we have encountered so far."

"They are evolving." says Jon. "But… Look."

Raoul looks at the building, and he hears from their zombies' growls and screams. The barricade starts to fall apart slowly. The two survivors are running to the behind of the radio stations, to warn their teammates to back away from there.

Raoul and Jon got to the back of the building, and what they saw there, made both of them drop their weapons. Seven zombies, are eating the bodies of Andrew and Raoul's brother. This made Jon angry, and Raoul fall on his knees. Jon gets the gun and shoots the things, making all of them falling on the ground. Jon goes to the bodies of the two survivors who were with them, and they see them, still breathing, and with their stomach opened. Raoul goes at his brother, he cries as his brother screams in pain.

"Gregory…" says Raoul as he looks at his brother drawing his last breath. He takes the knife, and he look at his brother.

"… Do… Do it… Do it, Raoul… Please…" says Raoul's brother, as he coughs two times, and he breathe heavily. "Please… Don't… Don't die…"

"I will not, brother…" he sobs as he pierced the head of his brother with the knife he found yesterday. He closed his eyes as he was doing that because he doesn't want to be the face of his brother as he got stabbed.

He takes the knife, he looks away, and he put it on the ground, next to his body. He takes a big sigh and looks at Jon, who stabbed Andrew head.

"You did well, comrade." says Jon to Andrew body, and he closed his eyes with the right hand. "You can rest now."

"Brother Gregory…" says Raoul to the corpse who was once his brother. "I am sorry I was not there sooner to save you… I am sorry I was not able to save you from them. I am sorry I was not focussed on important things like family in my past life..." he sobs, and he looks at his lifeless body. "If I could've been there… Things would've been a lot different…"

"Now, now." says Jon coming at Raoul and putting his hand on his shoulder. "We have to clean this radio station. And take it… We will bury them close of my house…"

Raoul's brushes his tears with his left sleeve, he gets up from the ground and goes inside the building with Jon. Both of them come into agreement to use the front door.
