	[SIZE= 18px]<b>S</b>[/SIZE]now was gently falling down the frosted landscape as the rattling of an old&nbsp;train making its way along the rusty tracks&nbsp;that wound its way through&nbsp;a wintry alpine forest echoed in the mountain side.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The conductor, and old bearded man who looked as old as the train, was sitting in the front reading a yellowed news paper. It was dated fifteen years ago and the headline in the front page read:<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	<i>" THE DEAD WALK "</i><br>​</div><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><i>'Professor&nbsp;Castor Cunning's cure for cancer, once hailed as the medical miracle of the century three years ago is now the doomsday virus that mutated inside its patients&nbsp;and turned them and everyone they've infected&nbsp;into what&nbsp;people are&nbsp;commonly calling, "Ghouls".</i><br>
<br>
<i>I know what you're thinking, "Not zombies?", not exactly. The dead have miraculously and horrifyingly come back to life, but they're not the slow witless undead we see in popular media nowadays.</i><br>
<br>
<i>We now have confirmed that Ghouls are faster and more active at&nbsp;night, and witnesses have reported packs of these infected working together to flush out non-infected people out of their homes. They have the crude intelligence of dogs and follow an alpha. The mutations also haven't stopped, there are reports of "freakish monsters" hunting and eating people in the streets, many no longer recognizably human.</i><br>
<br>
<i>Professor Cunning's court case has been resolved and he has been found "Guilty" of . . . '</i><br>
	</li>
</ul><br>
<br>
<br>
	One of the heavy metal doors of the cars slid open and the old man looked behind him to see a young man in a biohazard suit stride out and give him a&nbsp;warm thermos&nbsp;of hot soup.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Ah, thank you, James."&nbsp;grunted the old man appreciatively, trying and failing to quickly hide the outdated yellowed newspaper without being too obvious. "Ah! My favorite, potato soup. Just like yesterday and the past six years before that. I'm surprised I haven't started sprouting potatoes on my bald head." he chuckled, but the young man had seen the paper.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The young man&nbsp;removed the headwear of&nbsp;his suit, the snow swirling in the chilly wind. "It's alright, Murf, I'm not angry, just was surprised to see my father's face on the paper." The young man&nbsp;had&nbsp;the same messy black hair and&nbsp;bespectacled intelligent grey eyes as the picture of the infamous Professor&nbsp;Castor Cunning in the newspaper.<br>
<br>
<br>
	This was&nbsp;James Cunning, his son and the one who these past&nbsp;six years has been persistently trying to look for a cure.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	***<br>

<br>
	[1] - "Mmm." said Murf thoughtfully. "You must be tired of hearing this, but I'm sorry for what happened to him." Professor&nbsp;Castor cunning had died in the hands of angry rioters fifteen years ago. (muses some more about the past)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - James leaned nonchalantly against the railing watching the passing scenery. He had&nbsp;handsome features with his&nbsp;lean broad back, that black hair that fell down his face with a sort of casual elegance most people&nbsp;don't have, and that piercing gaze that seemed to dwell on higher things.&nbsp;They passed a couple of ghouls scurrying in the trees that hissed at them and tried in vain to catch the train. "Anyway, I have to get back." (Switch to James' point of view as he goes back in to continue whatever he was doing.)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Suddenly a gunshot rent the air.<br>

<br>
	"[SIZE= 18px]<b>M</b>[/SIZE]mm." said Murf thoughtfully, taking a sip of the hot soup. "You must be tired of hearing this, but I'm sorry for what happened to him." Professor&nbsp;Castor cunning had died in the hands of angry rioters fifteen years ago.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The court hearing at that time had been a sham. Economies were collapsing in the wake of the sudden global viral outbreak, lawlessness was rampant, violence and shortage of supplies plagued the cities that have become death zones as the ghouls numbers became overwhelming. People started doing whatever they wanted, were angry, and&nbsp;were looking for someone to blame. And so the government had tried to instill some order by putting up a mock&nbsp;trial that would sentence Professor Cunning to a lifetime in jail.<br>
<br>
<br>
	But in truth, you couldn't do that to the person who knew the virus inside and out and had the best chance of&nbsp;making&nbsp;a cure. He was secretly transferred to a military research facility where he would continue finding a cure, and his family went with him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James had been a twelve year old boy at that time, who was naively dreaming to become some awesome apocalyptic warrior who shot&nbsp;dual pistols, sniped 'Boss&nbsp;Monsters'&nbsp;and beheaded entire zombie hordes with just a machete. Ah, how he turned out differently.<br>
<br>
<br>
	There was one point later that same year where his father had to go out in&nbsp;one of the quarantined cities&nbsp;to do some research, but he and the squad of soldiers that guarded him and his research team&nbsp;were attacked by&nbsp;a group of survivors who were desperately&nbsp;attempting to get out of the city by trying to commandeer their helicopter.<br>
<br>
<br>
	And that was it,&nbsp;the facility&nbsp;lost contact&nbsp;with them and his father never came back home. Humans indeed, were much more dangerous than the walking dead.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"That was fifteen years ago. It's fine."&nbsp;reassured James, though he didn't meet Murf's eye when he smiled, and leaned against the doorway without looking at him and just watched the passing scenery. He had his own thermos of hot potato soup with him and drank it in awkward silence behind Murf who was thinking that maybe he should change the topic.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"How's&nbsp;the serum --- er, compound CI-8 was it? --- doing?" said Murf taking another brave stab at conversation. This was currently the most promising progress of the cure that James and his researchers were going to test on ghouls after they reached a safehouse located higher up the mountains.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"It's . . . fine." was that all James had to say? Apparently so as he then cleared his throat and took another sip of soup. He was clearly in an untalkative&nbsp;mood now. Murf shouldn't have been reading that newspaper, but he couldn't help it as he had not read this one, since at around that&nbsp;day fifteen years ago he was busy running for his life.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Anyway, I need to get back." said James briskly.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Of course, of course, you, um, have a good one, doctor."<br>
<br>
<br>
	James nodded in that reassuring way that he wasn't that bothered, and stepped back inside the carriage, putting his biohazard suit's headwear back on.<br>
<br>
<br>
	He strode back to car&nbsp;five, which was their group's little laboratory, where the other scientists supervised by his assistant . . .<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	***<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[1] - . .&nbsp;. Dr. Samantha Grey, were busy packing hazardous chemicals into safe boxes. Dr. Grey or "Sammy" was James' old friend whom he met in the military facility fifteen years ago when they were kids.<br>
<br>
<br>
	She and him had been a couple for about a year when they were both twenty-four, but it didn't work out. James was devoted to looking for a cure above all things and she wanted a family. He couldn't give her that, since he had a job to do and raising a family would distract him from his goals. (Will protect James more than the cure; has medical skills; not intelligent enough to help in developing the cure itself; bad at fighting)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - . . . Dr.&nbsp;Akiba Saiyuri, were&nbsp;cleaning out their old stocks of infected samples and dangerous chemicals by incinerating&nbsp;or neutralizing them. Dr. Akiba or "Sai" was James' old rival whom he met during one of his ventures in one of the quarantined cities.<br>
<br>
<br>
	She was a scientist working on her own cure and the military had rescued her when the safehouse of the survivor colony she was staying in was overrun with ghouls. She doesn't like James, because he talked the military into giving him the resources to support his research which had a break through at that time instead of hers, but was professional enough to work together without any trouble. (Is able to develop a cure all by herself;&nbsp;average at fighting; Doesn't think James life is that important)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - . . . Dr. Nicolai Dragunov, were moving delicate heavy equipment into padded crates. Nicolai was a Russian scientist who used to work for a terrorist cell&nbsp;before he left them to help look for a cure. A broken world wasn't what he wanted, and he was willing to work with the government he had been helping to overthrow to put it back the way it was before the outbreak. (Is able to develop a cure all by himself;&nbsp;above average&nbsp;at fighting;&nbsp;Doesn't think James' life is that important)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[4] - . . .&nbsp; and younger brother, Dr. Mion Cunning, were discussing where to put their ghoul traps in the few infected towns scattered in a sixty mile radius around the Halden Mountains.<br>
<br>
<br>
	His brother was in charge of capturing live ghouls for their human trials and could keep up with the soldiers, full military gear and all. (Will protect his brother;&nbsp;average at fighting; not intelligent enough to help in developing the cure itself.)<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	[SIZE= 14px]" 40 Days till Spring, 12:00 p.m.., Wednesday&nbsp;"[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]<b>J</b>[/SIZE]ames strode back to car&nbsp;five, which was their group's little laboratory, where the other six &nbsp;scientists supervised by his assistant and younger brother, Dr. Mion Cunning, were discussing where to put their ghoul traps in the few infected towns scattered in a sixty mile radius around the Halden Mountains.<br>
<br>
<br>
	His brother was in charge of capturing live ghouls for their human trials and&nbsp;was physically fit enough to keep&nbsp;up with the soldiers, full military gear and all, so he spent most of his time out in the danger zones whenever they had a serum ready for human trials.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion&nbsp;was two years younger than James and&nbsp;is his adopted brother. Ten years ago he was brought to the military facility after a rescue mission in Venice. That time he was one of those&nbsp;young&nbsp;teenagers&nbsp;whose&nbsp;family succumbed to the virus after their survivor colony was overrun by ghouls from the inside.&nbsp;One of their people,&nbsp;who had come back from a scavenging run, didn't tell anyone that she got bitten and then&nbsp;"turned" in the mess hall and began the chain reaction that destroyed their colony. Mion learned that day the&nbsp;unquestionable importance of cardio. He ran, and ran, and&nbsp;ran, and till this day always jogs around or does cross-fit exercises whenever he could. They were opposites, him and his&nbsp;brother. One was&nbsp;the brains and the other was the brawns.<br>
<br>
<br>
	". . . we'll&nbsp;dig up pits and set up bait here, here and here in&nbsp;Westfall Valley, and probably a couple of bear traps&nbsp;at the abandoned airport." said Mion to the team pointing at different locations on&nbsp;a map spread across a table. "Samantha, you're staying here, I'm not letting you come with us even if you say you're better. That fever can still come back if you strain yourself." he added to a lady scientist with red hair who looked disappointed, but just nodded. "Good, then if no one has any questions, we're done for today. Let's pack up."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"'Ve haff' no more coffee." yawned Nicolai, a big man who was a Russian scientist. "Need more coffee. 'Vhy you always drink all coffee, Saiyuri?" he complained in his thick Russian accent to a Japanese lady scientist who was incinerating samples they didn't need anymore.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Because your snores keep me up at night even though you're a carriage away, and so every morning I lack sleep." said Saiyuri.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Then change room. Go to cart thirteen."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"You can room with me if you like, Saiyuri." said the red-haired scientist, Samantha. "But not now as I'm still sick."<br>
<br>
<br>
	And so the conversation went on as the six men and women scattered to do their assigned tasks of keeping samples, serums, and the infected&nbsp;rats they were experimenting on. All of them were wearing biohazard suits and were handling everything with great care. None of them were immune to the contact strain of the virus after all and if one of those mice escaped and was loose in the train that would spell the end of them sooner or later.<br>
<br>
<br>
	There were two types of viral strains: airborne and contact. Most people were susceptible to both, only ten percent of human kind were immune to the airborne strain, and none were immune to the contact strain found in the saliva of ghouls. Among the birds and beasts that roam the earth, all were immune, except for&nbsp;canines, bears, and&nbsp;one species of&nbsp;brown rats&nbsp;and bats that were susceptible to the contact strain.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Mion, help me with compound CI-8." said James, taking down frozen vials filled with a purple liquid each labeled with the same name, but different expiration dates from a class III biological safety freezer. They were to pack these inside special containers that can keep the serums frozen for ten days.&nbsp;James suddenly&nbsp;paused as he&nbsp;noticed that he was missing about twenty vials.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Already ahead of you." said Mion pointing to one of the special containers already packed and ready, and joined his brother to pack the rest. "How long till we reach the station?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"An hour." said James. He was taller than his younger brother and had a broader back, but was thin and slight. Mion on the other hand was shorter, but had a lean solid build. "We've already passed the third tunnel. I left my headlamp on your bedside this morning, were you able to pack it?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion laughed, "I haven't even begun packing. But don't worry, it only takes me one mi ---"<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>BANG</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	A gunshot suddenly rent the air. It came from the back of the train.<br>

	And tell Mion to pack his frickin' bags while he's out. Diligence, not sloth. Best to practise it with the little things so it's a habit when something big rolls around.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Of course, probably don't say all that to him. We're not his dad. Maybe it's something our dad said to us, though. Iunno.</div>

	"[SIZE= 18px]<b>T</b>[/SIZE]ch." Mion clicked his tongue, annoyed. "I told them to stop wasting ammo. I'll be back, James."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Bags." reminded his brother.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"And more coffee!" added Nicolai after him. Mion waved a consenting hand to both of them and left the small laboratory, taking off his biohazard suit after he was decontaminated.<br>
<br>
<br>
	He was in train car five, the last car where the soldiers usually do some target practice was car thirteen or the caboose where&nbsp;ten of the&nbsp;twenty soldiers slept. Between here and there were box cars and a gondola that held cargo, the kitchen and dining car, a&nbsp;blue tank car that held fuel and water,&nbsp; a passenger car transformed into a make-shift greenhouse, and two other passenger cars where the scientists and non-military personnel slept. All in all they were thirty five survivors, the only ones left of the military research base that had fallen&nbsp; six months ago due to internal conflicts that arose from a shortage of food.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion passed by the&nbsp;small roomette he shared with his older brother in car seven. He stood there outside hesitating for a while between packing now or packing later, then decided to go in and throw in whatever he could inside his backpack before going to the soldiers. He owned the left half of the roomette that was still cluttered with used clothes, junk, misplaced notes, and some traps he'd been working on,&nbsp;while&nbsp;James occupied the right which was already neat and empty except for a full backpack sitting on the bench and an old staff, pointy in one end that he used as a walking stick.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion, unzipped his backpack and tossed in the headlamp James left him, a pack of&nbsp;cigarettes and a &nbsp;lighter, hand-held radio, some worn winter clothes, ammunition kit, an old pistol with a few ammo, a rusty knife, some batteries and a charger, duct tape, a map, rope, and a tent.<br>
<br>
<br>
	He was putting in a few candles and his trusty compass when he suddenly heard a loud thump outside&nbsp;coming from&nbsp;the back end of the car followed by hushed voices he's never heard before, many hurried footsteps, and the rapid opening of the other roomettes&nbsp;before his own.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Something was horribly wrong. In that few precious seconds before&nbsp;his door slid open, Mion opened the window and quickly climbed out on to the frosted slippery roof, but not before tossing out . . .<br>

	[1] -&nbsp; . . . his backpack which he had not zipped close yet.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] -&nbsp; . . . James' backpack. Which he knew was lightly packed as his brother couldn't carry heavy things and only had his personal belongings, a tool kit, portable cooking gear, radio, water, and some dried food.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] -&nbsp; . . . nothing. He just immediately escaped to the roof.<br>
<br>

	[SIZE= 18px]<b>M</b>[/SIZE]ion tossed out his bag, the contents spilling down a ravine where a frozen river lay at the bottom just as he heard the door slid open behind him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Escapee!" bellowed a man's voice just as&nbsp;Mion was half out the window and clambering on to the frozen train roof.&nbsp;He heard&nbsp;the man&nbsp;rush forward below him and felt a hand grab his shoe then violently tug it down. With a thrill of fear Mion lost his grip and&nbsp;thumped his chin on the roof edge, but managed to grab hold on to some jagged frost; he kicked blindly, felt his boot collide with something fleshy and the grip released.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The man cried out in pain; "Don't shoot!" said another man's voice as Mion quickly climbed all the way up. "We need the scientists alive! Hey, we got a runner on the roof!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	The rushing wind was freezing and whipped back Mion's hair as he got to his feet. The scenery was speeding quickly by on either side of him, he crouched as the train entered a tunnel and began to run as fast as he carefully could to car five.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>What's going on?! Where were the soldiers?'</i> he thought as he looked back behind him and saw that the man who attacked him ---&nbsp;now sporting a bloody nose ---&nbsp;was climbing up the roof too.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"CONTACT MULTIPLE ARMED HOSTILES COMING FROM CAR SEVEN!" Mion stomped and bellowed down&nbsp;the roof of car six as he&nbsp;ran past, hoping that those underneath heard him and had gone into action.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Stop! Stop, or I'll shoot!" said the man who was&nbsp;chasing and gaining on him. He had a suppressed pistol and was wearing a gas mask, but&nbsp;Mion glimpsed the edge of a&nbsp;beast like tattoo peeking from under his jacket.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yeah right." Mion didn't listen and continued forward, dropping down to the back of car five and bursting inside. "JAMES! EVERYONE, GET OUT! ARMED HOSTILES FROM BEHIND!" and he locked the door just as the man that chased him dropped down and began trying to kick it open.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Nicolai, the big Russian scientist moved first, "To the engine, everyone, now." he said calmly grabbing a container of Serum CI-8 and a stool. "Protocol 6, we're uncoupling the train." One of the scientists screamed as car six exploded into shouts and deafening sounds of gunfire.&nbsp;It seemed that whoever was trying to hijack the train&nbsp;encountered some of the soldiers.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Everyone began to move quickly, scared but determined. They had drilled this before and quickly paired up with their buddies, then ran to the next car.&nbsp;James&nbsp;took a Serum Container too and . . .<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
	" [SIZE= 18px]<b>M</b>[/SIZE]ion,&nbsp;grab a suit!" yelled James as he hastily swept as many useful items as he could into&nbsp;a trash bag and slung it over his shoulder. His younger brother&nbsp;did as he said and the two were the last to exit the train car.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"'Vhat you two do doing, eh?! Let's go!" yelled Nicolai two cars away and gestured at&nbsp;the two brothers to double time. Suddenly they heard the locked door behind them give way and masked men rushed inside. James was so slow, the&nbsp;hijackers&nbsp;were going to catch up to them in car three.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion turned back and launched himself on the back door of car three in an attempt to lock it, but two men stuck their arms out and the door wouldn't close.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Roof! Roof!" they cried from the other side of the door. There were sounds of people climbing up. James reached car two, but then one of the scientists who had reached the engine car pointed behind him and yelled, "Oh my gosh, Mion!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	James looked back, five armed men were running on the roof of the train and heading their way. His brother just realized that he was going to fail and let the door go, scrambling forward instead to escape; James dropped the serum container and went back to help him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>BANG</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	A man on the roof fired a shot at Murf and everyone immediately ducked, the&nbsp;ladies screaming; James stumbled but got up again, reaching into the trash bag.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"It's James Cunning!&nbsp;Capture him!"&nbsp;ordered one of the masked men.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Fool! Go back!" yelled his brother angrily just as arms stretched out to grab him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Catch!" James threw the scalpel at him. Mion caught it just as one of the masked men caught the hem of his shirt.&nbsp;The younger brother immediately&nbsp;turned and jammed the scalpel straight&nbsp;in his enemy's&nbsp;eye, cracking the glass of the gas mask.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"ARGH!" The man began shooting wildly; James dove behind a seat as&nbsp;bullets pinged pass him.&nbsp;Mion had flung his hazard suit over his foe's face&nbsp;to blind him and was now pushing&nbsp;the masked man&nbsp;back while&nbsp;trying to wrestle&nbsp;the&nbsp;handgun from him and stabbing with his&nbsp;other hand; The man's other ally behind him could not shoot Mion as they were in the center aisle and his friend was in the way.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Nicolai, help!" yelled James amidst the terrifying sounds of gunfire. Then his heart sank when he looked back and saw that Nicolai had uncoupled the train. The engine car was chugging on without them. There were more gunshots and he saw Murf fall to the floor, blood trailing from his neck.&nbsp;Two masked men tried to jump on to the engine car. One was smashed away with a stool by Nicolai, while the second landed on top of the Russian scientist, knocking aside the serum container James had left behind under the train. They struggled.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James cursed.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[1] - Leave his younger brother Mion behind and attempt to take a running leap on to the engine car.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] -&nbsp;Leave his younger brother Mion and use the confusion to jump off the train without anyone noticing.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Help Mion fight his assailants off and&nbsp;try to jump off the train&nbsp;together.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[4] - Surrender.<br>

	[SIZE= 18px]<b>T</b>[/SIZE]hinking quickly, James locked the front door of the train car. He grabbed the lighter from the trash bag, then hastily opened the first aid kit and took out a bottle of alcohol. Unscrewing the cap and holding the lighter with his teeth he looked for an opening to enter the fight between his brother and the two masked men.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion had successfully wrestled the pistol from the first foe he stabbed. The man was bleeding profusely, but wasn't dead yet and was pummeling every bit of Mion he could reach before the younger brother was able to shoot him&nbsp;under the jaw; James took this moment when the body fell to&nbsp;reach from a seat to the left, grab the gun hand of the last foe, and splash his head with alcohol.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The man slugged James across the jaw; James blacked out for a moment, dropping the lighter, but didn't&nbsp;let go of the gun hand&nbsp;--- there was&nbsp;a&nbsp;grunt as Mion got kicked back. The man was now pounding James as they fought for control of the gun.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion recovered the lighter. "Flames!" yelled Mion. James looked away as his brother&nbsp;lit the lighter and threw it&nbsp;at the man's head which&nbsp;burst into flames.&nbsp;The man&nbsp;panicked, his grip on the gun slackening&nbsp;for just a second, and James used this moment to finally wrestle it away and&nbsp;Mion shot him in the head just as he reached to grab it back.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The body dropped on&nbsp;top of James&nbsp;like a sack of potatoes. Mion picked up the lighter, and pulled his brother up.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Let's go, we're jumping off!"&nbsp;he hurried. James just nodded and grabbed the trash bag with their stuff before following his brother out the back.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The train was starting to slow down. From what he was hearing it seemed that there was still a gunfight between those on the roof and their friends on the&nbsp;uncoupled engine car. James told Mion that he had last counted four armed men still alive out there and they both decided that it was&nbsp;better to escape. They waited until the train passed a grove of frosted pine trees and then jumped off together.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James tumbled on to the snow; people shouted after them as the train thundered by. Gunshots whizzed pass; they were seen. The two got up immediately&nbsp;and escaped&nbsp;into the forest.<br>

	[1] - Head for the abandoned airport.&nbsp;Not a lot of stuff to scavenge as it has been picked clean years before, but the nearby forest has a few&nbsp;rabbits or&nbsp;birds they could trap, and wolves.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - Head for the safehouse where their friends would probably go to, and where their attackers might probably follow.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Head for Westfall Valley. There is an abandoned town&nbsp;where one can still look for supplies,&nbsp;though there are&nbsp;ghouls too.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[4] - Head back to the ravine where Mion tossed out his bag and retrieve his stuff. If there are some hostiles following the train, it's likely that the two would encounter them.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
	"[SIZE= 18px]<b>E</b>[/SIZE]asy . . . easy . . . " Mion muttered to James.<br>
<br>
<br>
	His&nbsp;older brother, who was almost completely undressed and carrying a stick, was carefully walking on the icy surface of a frozen river at the bottom of the ravine where Mion had hurled his own things out the window when they were still on the hi-jacked train two hours ago.<br>
<br>
<br>
	In his haste Mion was unable to zip his mountaineering bag shut and so the items had fallen scattered around the area, and the most important bulk --- the bag itself with most of&nbsp;his things --- was hanging precariously on the jagged edge of a wide shattered pool.&nbsp;This&nbsp;area of the frozen river was thin, but they decided to gamble on James' light frame to get across and retrieve the bag without the ice giving way underneath him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James shivered, snow was falling and he was wearing nothing but his boxers. They had used their clothes and&nbsp;his biohazard suit as a make-shift rope and tied one end on his wrist. This was a safety precaution. In case he fell, Mion could pull him out from a safe distance.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Fourteen&nbsp;feet away from the bag. . . ten feet . . . eight feet . . .<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>Crack</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	James froze.&nbsp;A long&nbsp;rift appeared on the ice underneath him and out blossomed smaller cracks that were slowly spreading farther and farther away. He cursed quietly, heart hammering.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Something wrong? Why'd you stop?" called Mion from the snowy shore.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"It's nothing." said James and hefted the stick he was carrying.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
	[1] - Crouch and then reach out with the stick. It's not long enough to reach, but if James could just carefully poke it <i>just right</i> he can make the bag spin and have its longer side face him. Then he can just&nbsp;hook it out easily. Worse that could happen is he pokes it too hard and it falls into the pool.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - Step closer until he can hook it away. Worse that could happen is he falls into the river, but Mion is there to pull him out.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Too dangerous. Ice could shatter beneath him at ay moment. Better to just back off with what they were able to recover: Duct tape, another map, rope, tent, candles, and a compass. (They'd be giving up: a pack of&nbsp;cigarettes, a&nbsp;lighter, hand-held radio, some worn winter clothes, ammunition kit, an old pistol with a few ammo, a rusty knife, some batteries and a charger.)<br>

	[SIZE= 18px]<b>J</b>[/SIZE]ames crouched and laid prone on the freezing ice, then&nbsp;in one fluid motion successfully managed to reach the bag with the stick,&nbsp;then slide it towards the shore.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion loudly sighed in relief behind him. "Good one." He handed James some of his winter clothes after his older brother carefully made his way back to him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Thanks." said James, his teeth chattering. "Let's get out of here, I don't like being out in the open." After they had changed and made their way back under the cover of the frosted trees, he asked Mion if they had any food.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"No, guess we're hunting. I don't want to use any of the bullets, though, I want to save it for when we really need it, what with those&nbsp;murderers still out there."<br>
<br>
<br>
	They had escaped pursuit by taking a twiggy branch that had a few leaves and used it to cover their tracks behind them with snow. As far as they knew there were four enemies still out there, plus the ones who shouted at them as the train passed by, so that was about ten give or take, though James did wonder how they were able to board a moving train. They probably had snow vehicles, but they didn't see any following behind the train.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I'll make traps." assured James. "But for now let's find a safe place to make camp and decide where we going to go next tomorrow."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Alright."<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was almost three in the afternoon, hence it was too late to reach the airport, safe house, or the abandoned town in Westfall before sun down, the dangerous time when ghouls were most active.<br>
<br>
<br>
	So with the help of their map and compass, they&nbsp;hiked their way up the mountain for two hours to a shack with a burned collapsed roof. It was tucked away deep into the forest in an abandoned mining area that had a boarded up underground entrance and a few rusted heavy duty machines standing on the snow.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James and Mion circled the shack, guns up, one entering from the roof and another entering from the back.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Clear!" yelled Mion from one room.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Clear." said James from another.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I don't feel right about that mine." said Mion looking out the window to the boarded up underground entrance. "I feel like there might be a ghoul hive&nbsp;in there."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Then, let's board this place up as best as we can. Where do you want to sleep?"<br>
	&nbsp;<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Erm . . . Upstairs. I can make a zip line from the window to that tree over there as an escape route if something goes wrong."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I'll do it. You board up the place." said James, and the brothers set to work.<br>
<br>
<br>
	That chilly night they didn't light a fire, but just huddled together shivering in the boarded up room and took turns sleeping&nbsp;or keeping watch. Not that they could see in the dark, but they listened closely. James had slept first, he was really exhausted from the hike and dozed off after he had finished setting up the zip line, so Mion was on first watch.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was so quiet. Snow was falling gently from the gaps of the collapsed roof. The darkness deepened with the passing hours until it was virtually impenetrable. Every tiny sound seemed magnified in the vastness of the forest. Mion knew it must be full of living creatures, but he wished they would all remain still and silent so that he could separate their innocent scurryings from noises that might proclaim other, sinister movements. Especially stalking ghouls.<br>

	[SIZE= 18px]<b>-&nbsp;Halden&nbsp;mountains&nbsp;-</b>[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	[SIZE= 14px]"&nbsp;39 Days till Spring, 7:02 am,&nbsp;Thursday&nbsp;"[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]<b>T</b>[/SIZE]here were&nbsp;sounds&nbsp;of many feet crunching on the snow outside the shack that night.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion sat still without making any sound and just listened intently in the dark. Wooden planks creaked ominously&nbsp;from the rooms&nbsp;below the second floor where the two brothers were resting and he heard something crawling up the stairs, sniffing.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It came close to the boarded up doors, its claws grating upon the wood as it scratched their barricade. Mion gripped the cold handle of the suppressed pistol and just waited, his heart hammering.<br>
<br>
<br>
	With a snort the thing outside left and nothing else came up, though many hair-raising howls echoed around the abandoned mine as the night wore on. When it was James' turn to keep watch, Mion couldn't sleep because of fear. He was right about that mine, there was a ghoul hive in there.<br>
<br>
<br>
	When the early&nbsp;morning came, Mion had panda eyes and was sleepy.&nbsp;When the brothers came out&nbsp;they saw several tracks in the snow, both&nbsp;small and large all leading to and from the nook and crannies of the mine where dark entrances led to the ghoul hive.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"You look terrible." said James, chuckling at his brother's weary look.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yeah, so you carry the bag." grunted Mion shoving the mountaineering bag in his brothers arms. James shouldered it without any complaints.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Lack of sleep wasn't something to chuckle about, but James would rather lift their spirits by joking around a little than worry out loud&nbsp;about his brother's state. Mion wasn't worrying out loud either, but he was sure his younger brother was&nbsp;anxious about&nbsp;his lack of&nbsp;sleep. You can't hike far if you lack sleep&nbsp;plus without&nbsp;breakfast too, and there was the danger of passing out suddenly.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They left the area in a hurry, talking all the while about where they were going to next and about the problem of food. They were starving having not eaten since yesterday's lunch. James decided to gamble on the radio to contact their friends. When they were evacuating the train&nbsp;they had not seen anyone bring a radio with them, but they may have arrived at the safe house already so&nbsp;it was worth a shot even though someone else might be listening in on their frequency.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The radio frequency of the team was 106.3, something all their radios are tuned into. "Base, this is Broadsword." radioed James. No reply. "Base, this is Broadsword . . .&nbsp;This is Broadsword, if there's anyone still alive, respond." he added voicing out for the first time the worry he had been feeling since yesterday.<br>
<br>
<br>
	There was a cackle in the radio and a voice they've never heard before spoke, "Hello, Dr. Cunning." said a shrewd man's voice. James stopped in his tracks. There was danger in that voice.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Who is this?" said James calmly, though his fist was shaking. If the armed men made it to the base, were the rest of their friends still alive? He had seen Murf go down --- those feelings&nbsp;of shock, anguish, and then anger&nbsp;that he had pushed and locked away yesterday in his mind resurfaced --- and saw Nicolai grappling with one of their attackers, then heard the fire fight before they jumped, but he had no idea who won.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Augustus." said the shrewd voice simply. " I have your friends in my possession . . . and the serum. Won't you join us here in&nbsp;your cozy safehouse? If you and your brother come, I promise to release them."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Prove it. Let me talk to them." said James.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Bring the girl." ordered&nbsp;Augustus to someone on the other side.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Minutes later the frightened sniveling voice of Samantha Grey whispered, "J-James? T-here's only twenty-eight of them!" she cried.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Cover her mouth!"&nbsp;yelled&nbsp;Augustus as what sounded like a fight ensued.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Sammy, they'll&nbsp;kill you,&nbsp;stop speaking!"&nbsp;yelled James his calmness gone.&nbsp;Mion immediately covered his mouth hushing him. James' yell echoed in the vast forest.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Nicolai and Saiyuri escaped! --- Argh! Everyone else is dea --- " the radio went silent.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James cursed. His body was shaking in fear and anger. "We have to go to the safehouse." he told Mion, but his brother shook his head firmly.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"James, listen to me . . . No. Our best chance of survival and getting the cure&nbsp;is to find Nicolai and Saiyuri."<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	***<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[1] - Go to the safehouse and rescue Samantha Grey, if she's still alive. (Distance 3: hours)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - Go to the abandoned town of Westfall Valley. It's the likely place Nicolai and Saiyuri would go to escape pursuit since it's full of ghouls. There may be even other survivors. (Distance: 6 hours)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Go to the abandoned airport. We can't go and save or look for anyone when we're starving and this is the safest place to hunt or trap food, though there are wolves. (Distance: 8 hours)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[4] - . . . (Reader's write in choice)<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	[SIZE= 14px]"&nbsp;39 Days till Spring, 1:12 p.m.,&nbsp;Thursday&nbsp;"[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	"[SIZE= 18px]<b>I</b>[/SIZE] know, it's just . . ."&nbsp;James gripped his&nbsp;wool cap&nbsp;in frustration and kicked a mound of snow.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yeah, she's important to you&nbsp;. . . but let's be realistic, we can't take on twenty eight armed&nbsp;men all by ourselves."&nbsp;said Mion seriously.&nbsp;"I don't&nbsp;know who they were, but they've got skills, James. We don't . . . we're just scientists."<br>
<br>
<br>
	James sighed, looking up at the falling snow and he seemed to be gathering himself up. "Alright, let's look for Nicolai and Saiyuri." he agreed finally and took out his map.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"We don't know what time they got&nbsp;away, but I think the town in Westfall Valley sixty miles from the safe house is the likeliest place they'd escape to." he pointed to a spot in the map.&nbsp;" It's ten hours away, but Saiyuri and Nicolai don't have that kind of stamina, plus they'd have men on their tail, so . . . probably two or three days to get there?""<br>
<br>
<br>
	"That sounds about right." said Mion. "I hope they've got some of the serum with them."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"The container I was brining fell from the train near the place where we jumped off. Let's scout the place from afar. There might be some vials intact."<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion agreed and so off the two went to the train tracks. Unfortunately there weren't any vials intact and the serum container was gone. Disappointed, the two finally turned west for the abandoned town of Westfall.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It took them six hours. As they hiked up and down along the mountain peaks, they stopped every now and then to melt snow with a candle and the lighter and drink the water&nbsp;from a makeshift cup from Mion's ammunition kit. The snow fall became heavier and heavier and the younger Cunning was getting sleepier and sleepier, until finally Mion asked they take a break so that he could rest for a bit.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Just a few miles more. I can see the town already." said James encouragingly as his brother&nbsp;leaned on a tree&nbsp;and closed his eyes for a bit&nbsp;.&nbsp;James parted away the low hanging branches of a frosted tree and beheld the town of Westfall from their vantage point on the hilly foot of one of the Halden mountains.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was a big fishing and mining town, with one big university in the south end and a couple of farms to the west, but in this heavy snowfall is was hard to see pass the eastern border. Every now and then the tiny silhouette of a ghoul would amble past. Even from here James could tell there was a lot of them in there.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"James, I think I need to sleep." said Mion, tiredly. "Just for two hours. I can't go in there like this."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Alright." nodded James. "I'm going to scout a bit, look for a hideout. If this weather gets worse today, it's going to be dark out soon and we can't be out here in the open when the ghouls come out to hunt.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion gave James a hard look as though he had his doubts his lanky older brother who spends most of his time indoors could actually scout, but they had no choice. "Okay. Just be careful, alright? Take the radio, knife, and some of my ammunition."<br>
<br>
<br>
	When James was ready, he&nbsp;stealthily&nbsp;made his way&nbsp;to the town by circling the edge of the surrounding forest, Mion sleepily watching him go until he disappeared from sight.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It took James a good part of two hours to scout out the south eastern part of town. He saw many things, but eventually he narrowed down their choices for their hideout to&nbsp;three places: A Villa in the mountains near the university, a house by the docks, or an apartment in the town center.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	***<br>​</div><br>
<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]<b>W</b>[/SIZE]hich place should be their hideout?<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	&nbsp;<br>​</div><br>
<br>
	[1] - Villa. Easily defendable, but food is scarce. If ever the brothers' hideout is found, bad guys can just surround the place and wait until the people inside surrender from starvation.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - Docks. Can fish for food, but very difficult to defend. Bad guys come here often to fish and fight for turf. If ever&nbsp;the brothers hideout here&nbsp;is found out, bad guys can easily take it in one sweep.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Apartments. Located in the town center, it has a lot of untouched scavenging places, but also&nbsp;has the most&nbsp;concentration of ghouls. Anything can happen here. Anything.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[4] - Move from place to place for now. It's got the smallest chance of getting found out, but they won't be able to build structures such as a work room to be able to build and modify vehicles. Can't even have a stove or an indoor garden. They'd have to hunt and scavenge for food and supplies most of the time.<br>

	Fuck it, let's go to the Apartments. I don't want to, but I don't like the idea of that Villa for some reason, and being where bad guys go often to fish and fight for turf is distinctly NOT where James and Mion need to be right now. So fuck it, let's clean out ghouls or some shit. Mion's good at trapping them. Time to see what all the fuss is about and experience a Ghoul first-hand. If these fucks run, I'm gonna fucking cry. Running zombies are scary as shit, yo.</div>

<br>
<br>
	"[SIZE= 18px]<b>Y</b>[/SIZE]ou sure t-there's no better place than this?"&nbsp;said Mion uncertainly for the umpteenth time, his teeth chattering in the cold. He peered from behind a snow caked car at a horde of about fifty ghouls shambling sluggishly in the main street under heavy snowfall, some of them lying buried in the snow as if they were truly inanimate.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"No." said James simply, watching their back, wary. "I told you all the other places were just as bad or worse. There are other survivor's in this town: desperate, hardened people by the looks of them. I saw a group of them fighting over food in the docks, and I just had a bad feeling about the villa."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"You just had a bad feeling? . . ."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"That and it was isolated and picked clean. There was no food there and I heard wolves howling in the distance. I don't want to compete with wolves for food."<br>
<br>
<br>
	The weather&nbsp;was slowly turning into a blizzard, it was starting to get hard to see further than thirty feet away, and the howling wind was all they heard --- they couldn't even hear the groaning of the ghouls limping just&nbsp;twelve feet away from them.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"There's our opening, let's go." said Mion and led the way through the horde to an apartment building across a gas station that he and his brother agreed seemed safest in this ghoul infested area.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The ghouls were scattered in the street which was located in the town center; they timed their movements&nbsp;whenever the&nbsp;ghouls parted&nbsp;providing an opportunity&nbsp;for the brothers to sneak through and they carefully enter&nbsp;the building after peering through a shattered window and seeing that the coast was clear.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They found themselves in&nbsp;a dusty kitchen.&nbsp;Sniffing the stale air, the building smelled strongly of rotten meat and shuffling could be heard near and above them.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion pressed his finger to his lips and in the dim light, listened for a good five minutes, then gestured with hand signals: <i>'Six undead ghouls, second floor. Two undead ghoul left. One living ghoul right. First, we attack right ghoul together. I'll take point."</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	Being an expert in ghoul trapping, Mion could tell by the sound of the breathing and walking of a ghoul what type it was, and how many they were behind a wall. He could also roughly estimate how far they were. There were generally three types: The undead, the living, and the mutated. The undead are witless, but the living have the intelligence of dogs. The mutated are unpredictable and hence the most dangerous.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James nodded that he understood and&nbsp;flipped the safety down his suppressed pistol. Mion had his gun out too and very slowly pushed the kitchen door open which creaked ominously on rusty hinges. The shuffling to the right stopped. Mion stuck his head out to check if the coast was clear.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was&nbsp;darker deeper inside the apartment where the dim light from the windows didn't reach. <i>'Darn it.'</i> he thought. He had wanted to clear out the building without having to turn his headlight on, but it was too dark. He switched it on.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>Click</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	And found himself face to face with the twisted livid face of a living ghoul. It shrieked at him, screaming so loud the ghouls above must have heard it.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"<br>

	[1] - Fight safely. Use all bullets if we have to and kill all the ghouls quickly before their racket attracts the horde outside.<br>

<br>
	<br>
	[2] - Fight conserving ammo. The blizzard is loud, worse comes to worse only a few ghouls from the horde will be attracted inside and even then we can take them . . . maybe.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<br>
	[3] - Shut this ghoul up and get out of here. We'll just have to&nbsp;find another apartment.&nbsp;'Might not be as good as this one, but this&nbsp;is the safest way. (cannot come back to this apartment.)&nbsp;<br>

	<b>[SIZE= 18px]- Apartment, Westfall Town Center -[/SIZE]</b><br>​</div><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	[SIZE= 14px]" 39 Days till Spring,&nbsp;4:00 p.m., Thursday "[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]M[/SIZE]ion shot the ghoul in the face just as it lunged at him. The suppressed shot went through the head in a spray of fine red mist; it stumbled and fell beside him just as he withdrew. Running footsteps thundered down the stairs as the six ghouls came snarling and tripping down attracted by the shriek.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Get back!" yelled James pulling the kitchen door shut after his brother.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"James, don't yell or make noises when you panic!" hissed Mion as the ghouls rammed the kitchen door in a loud boom. He pushed against the door as the ghouls began banging on the door viscously snarling and growling like rabid men. He fumbled with the door knob, the lock wasn't working. "The lock's broken!<br>
<br>
<br>
	"It's alright, Mion, the door opens&nbsp;outwards and I don't think they're smart enough to twist the doorknob&nbsp;then pull it." said James.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>BASH</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	The wood creaked and cracked. A rotten hand clawed through a gap in the door. It seems the door wasn't sturdy and the ghouls were slowly and noisily destroying it. The two brothers each took one side of the kitchen table and barricaded the door with it.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I found a long knife. I'm going to&nbsp;make a long handle." said James and began to&nbsp;bind together a&nbsp;wooden ladle and the knife with duct tape. It was dangerous to use short ranged weapons against ghouls because there's a chance of getting bit especially when attempting to stab them in the eye from the front with their hands clawing and pulling.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"We've got three more coming from the street." said Mion, peering out the shattered window. Their racket had attracted three ghouls from the snow swept street. They were limping towards the shattered window where he and Mion had clambered through. "I'll take care of this. " he added, wearing the headgear of James' biohazard suit.<br>
<br>
<br>
	With&nbsp;his rusty knife,&nbsp;Mion stabbed&nbsp;down the skull of the first&nbsp;ghoul placed&nbsp;that attempted to clamber through the window&nbsp;--- snap! ---- the blade broke, lodged in the skull; one ghoul down, seven more to go.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Meanwhile, the ghouls had now broke a sizeable hole through the door and were scratching and pulling their way through. James&nbsp;covered his face with some of Mion's spare clothes as much as he could, stepped up the table&nbsp;and thrust the long knife through the eye of the nearest ghoul; it didn't die. James stabbed again and again, blood splattering his glasses and clothes.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was slow work, he didn't have enough strength to kill one ghoul in one blow. Behind him Mion was using the torn leg of a wooden chair as a club and was bashing away at the last two. After&nbsp;three minutes,&nbsp;Mion kicked the bodies of the last two ghouls off the window and went to help his older brother who was panting, tired.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Finally after five minutes, the last ghoul fell. For safety they <i>"double-tapped"</i>, the bodies. A term which here means: crushed their heads so badly they couldn't possibly rise up again. Some ghouls are like that. You shoot them,&nbsp;then turn away. When you look back the body is suddenly gone.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"You got to start doing push ups and jump rope. . ." said Mion tiredly.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James leaned against the wall looking exhausted. "I know." he said wearily.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They dragged the smelly bodies out of the apartment and dumped them at the back after checking there was no ghoul nearby. The blizzard was falling heavily, they can expect three feet of snow tomorrow morning.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They picked a room to stay in and scavenged the building for food. There were locked cabinets and lockers that they couldn't open without tools, but they found one expired can of beans in one of the hallways. It wasn't enough for them,, but it was better than nothing.<br>

	[SIZE= 14px]" 38 Days till Spring,&nbsp;4:04 a.m.,&nbsp;Friday "[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]<b>L</b>[/SIZE]ater that day, the blizzard rattled the boarded up windows of Room 34, some of the wood blowing off and clattering loudly on the floor where Mion was sleeping on a dusty, moth-eaten bed.<br>
<br>
<br>
	He didn't even wake up, the man was very tired for not having slept since yesterday and just continued to snore softly.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James stood up from&nbsp;where he was seated in the&nbsp;corner.&nbsp;Leaving aside the&nbsp;two spears he had just finished carving,&nbsp;he quietly lodged the wood back&nbsp;across the window,&nbsp;securing it by stuffing cloth and yellowing books in the gaps. The barricade he and Mion put up in this room and in a few key locations in the apartment earlier weren't stable enough, as they opted not to nail them by hammering loudly with&nbsp;a rock, and the howling wind from the blizzard was whipping them&nbsp;loose every now and then.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James then pressed his ear against the barricaded door, listening. He was feeling very anxious, being in&nbsp;a place where there were so many ghouls and a horde lay just outside their doorstep. He kept thinking that perhaps one or three of them might come in the building, but it was no use, the blizzard was too loud. He sighed, sat back down and just busied himself with making more things to calm himself down before it was his turn to sleep.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The apartment they chose for their hideout was&nbsp;a dingy, moldy, and leaky place with&nbsp;three floors that had four big&nbsp;rooms&nbsp;each. Each room could fit a family of three and had its own tiny bathroom, small kitchen that was also the living and dining room, and two bedrooms. James and Mion were staying in the master bedroom of Room 34, which seemed to have belonged to a couple who loved photography.<br>
<br>
<br>
	There were pictures here of the previous family: a cheerful looking man and woman in their late forties, both with professional cameras hanging around their&nbsp;necks,&nbsp;and their grinning child, a girl of around seven. James wondered what happened to them . . . this apartment had been ransacked before, and there was blood and even some human bones in one area.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Like yesterday they chose not to light a fire tonight. Earlier,&nbsp;they briefly&nbsp;lit a small fire for&nbsp;less than twenty minutes just enough to heat up the can of soup, then immediately put it out as the smell of smoke and cooking food could still attract ghouls. At least the wind was strong enough to blow the smell away. They divided&nbsp;the soup&nbsp;between themselves and swallowed their own share in just one gulp. It had tasted nasty, and they were still hungry.<br>
<br>
<br>
	When it was finally too dark to craft anymore, James sat on the other side of the bed with the spear in hand and the suppressed pistol on the bedside table, feeling very awake. The hair-raising howling and snarling of ghouls waking up to the night had begun&nbsp;and clashed with&nbsp;the roar of the blizzard, making the night more menacing.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James shook, not from the cold, but from fear. The ghouls were so many . . . and so close . . . sudden thuds and crunchy flops startled him as the monsters leapt on the roof and climbed across their barricades, sniffing, clawing. Suddenly Mion's soft snoring stopped. James felt him stiffen, curse quietly, and then pull a ragged pillow over his ears. He was trembling too, but much worse than James.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James didn't understand why his younger brother was so afraid when he had more experience being in situations like these. One would think he would already be numb to this. "Mion?" he whispered awkwardly, unsure if he should give his shoulder a very light pat. He decided not to touch him. "Hey, it's going to be fine. Our <i>ghoul</i> tomorrow will be to make this place more quiet."<br>
<br>
<br>
	" . . . "<br>
<br>
<br>
	"You know what ghouls eat in Tokyo? . . . <i>Rawmen</i>."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Shut up, James." said Mion, but he didn't sound angry.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"But it's my coping mechanism. Two fishes are in a tank. One says to the other, <i>'Uhm . . . how do you drive this thing?'</i>"<br>

<br>
<br>
	"Sniff 'em out, that's it . . .&nbsp;good girl." said the rough voice of a&nbsp;boorish looking man who patted a husky's side.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"You sure they&nbsp;went this way then?"&nbsp;asked another man who spat in the snow.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Sure as day." replied the&nbsp;boorish looking man. He turned to a second person who was&nbsp;gazing&nbsp;down the town through the scope of an old sniper rifle. "What do you see?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"No sign of them, but there are survivors in the docks . . ." said the sniper. "They're waiting in ambush. Me thinks there's some feud going on in that town."<br>

	That sounds like a good idea. We'll have to get food eventually, but James and Mion can live for now.&nbsp;Part of me wants to refuse to get scared and scavenge and set up the markings, since defense seems like the 'obvious' idea,&nbsp;but I might as well continue what I said earlier, and not contradict the other voter. Make sure you're not getting eaten, then worry about other stuff.<br>
<br>
<br>
	I worry about killing the ghouls around our place and how obviously that will mark the apartments as our home base, though, as well as clearing the way for the pursuers to come for us without nearly as much ghoul resistance and the warning that the inevitable gunshots to deal with the ghouls will provide. I don't know, maybe I'm being paranoid now that it's confirmed that we have pursuers tailing us.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Also, fuck yes, puns. That was good shit.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Honestly, most of my argument comes from way too much paranoia and overthinking built up from excessive playing of Mafia. I'd be fine with just murdering the shit out of ghouls to make our place immediately a bit safer, if that's where we want to go. Splitting up the brothers is an immediate no.<br>
<br>
<br>
	I also just realised that putting the markings up isn't as time-sensitive as I'd thought, since Dynamic Duo Deux isn't going to just run through the town and buzz off. So that's another thing in favour of killing ghouls. IC, James and Mion don't know that people are RIGHT THERE on their tails, so it'd make more sense for them to kill ghouls. And the people being RIGHT THERE also adds incentive to focus on defence, which I presume means fortifications and stuff like that. Reasoning it out a little more for myself, I think I'd be a bit less half-hearted in voting for 2. I just can't shake my own paranoia, you know?</div>

<br>
<br>
<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]<b>J</b>[/SIZE]ames&nbsp;eyes opened&nbsp;in the dark. He lay under the blankets of the moth-eaten bed for a while thinking that it was the ghouls snarling and moaning outside that woke him up&nbsp;again, but no, something was&nbsp;shuffling&nbsp;downstairs. He immediately sat bolt upright,&nbsp;feeling for&nbsp;the suppressed pistol on his bedside.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Mion, something's moving downstairs. Mion? --- <i>Oi, wake up!</i>" he whispered urgently, shaking the man. His younger brother who was supposed to be on watch had fallen asleep beside him some time during the night<br>
<br>
<br>
	A fist suddenly bopped James in the nose as Mion&nbsp;got up breathing heavily as though he just had a nightmare. "James?" he said, agitated. "What's going on?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I heard movement downstairs." said James, rubbing his nose, annoyed. There was a click and a small wick of flame from a lighter in Mion's hand appeared in the dark.&nbsp;The eye bags around his eyes were darker and he was looking strained,&nbsp;Mion had not slept well again tonight. &nbsp;<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was four in the morning, still not a safe time to go out. The blizzard had passed and the wind was no longer howling or rattling their barricades. Mion listened&nbsp;with his ears pressed to the&nbsp;dusty&nbsp;carpet&nbsp;and discerned three undead ghouls downstairs, one of which was on the second floor. They decided to wait until morning's light before going down and checking it out.<br>
<br>
<br>
	When the sun dawned, they discovered that three ghouls managed to wander inside through one of three barricades that probably got destroyed by the storm. It was this that convinced them to allot most of the day in securing their hideout and dealing with the horde outside even though their stomachs were aching for lack of food.<br>
<br>
<br>
	There were many books around the ruined apartment, and a lot of junk. They&nbsp;donned thick clothing and wound magazines around their limbs, securing them with duct tape and strips of cloth; James made his glasses more secure by&nbsp;connecting&nbsp;a string of rubber bands&nbsp;from one end to another. They made four more spears and when they were done, Mion had a slingshot, and James even had a small make-shift shield made of reinforced plastic Tupperware, the rectangular type that could hold a lot of spaghetti.<br>
<br>
<br>
	A horde of about forty-seven ghouls wasn't something two people who weren't fighters could&nbsp;take head on. After&nbsp;crafting their make-shift armor, most of the morning was spent plotting and setting up a&nbsp;route with traps where they could lead the horde to, and by afternoon, after shoveling away a path through the three foot layer of snow left by the blizzard, they were ready. This was there plan:<br>
<br>
<br>
	James was going to bait the horde into dividing into smaller numbers, then he was going to lead the ghouls right on his tail towards the traps where he and Mion would turn and spear them. They would repeat this process until they were too exhausted to continue.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I don't know, James, I think I should be bait." said Mion as they observed the shambling ghouls from behind a dumpster in the street. "I'm not that sleepy." he lied.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yeah you are." said James. "Just get into position."<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion left. James waited for his signal which was the glint of sunlight from a broken mirror reflected on the dumpster. Then the glint appeared. Clutching his spear and shield . . .<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
	[1] - James strode out and threw the spear at the nearest ghoul. (Mion has&nbsp;four extra spears)<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - James strode out and threw the spear at the&nbsp;nearest ghoul&nbsp;fiercely yelling, "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - James went behind the nearest ghoul and bashed its head, finishing it with a thrust to the skull when it was down.<br>

<br>
	[SIZE= 18px]<b>J</b>[/SIZE]ames went behind the nearest ghoul and bashed its head, finishing it with a thrust to the skull when it was down. "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	In his thrilling panic, he said it too loud. All the ghouls turned their menacing heads his direction. James threw the spear.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It missed.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"RAAAAAAAAAAAGRBLAAAAGR!" howled the horde and lunged at him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James ran cursing into an alleyway, turned a corner, and then barged into&nbsp;the&nbsp;kitchen of a two-story house. There was a crash behind him as the ghouls slipped on the slippery ice and stumbled in their mad haste to eat his brains. He dashed up the stairs, already panting. There was a barricade there and he slipped through it and locked himself inside a child's bedroom where the door had a hole and on the bed was an extra spear.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Mion, I'm in!" yelled James out an open window&nbsp;as he&nbsp;pushed a cabinet in front of the door. There was no reply. The ghouls crashed on to the door. But it held. Now came the killing part. James took a spear and thrust through the hole in the door right through the mouth of a ghoul. It didn't die. James stabbed and stabbed.<br>
<br>
<br>
	A clattering behind him made him turn quickly, but it was just Mion climbing through the window.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I locked the door." he said, panting, looking as exhilarated with fear as&nbsp;James was. "There's about thirteen of them locked inside."<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion took a spear and plunged it into the ghoul James had trouble killing and it fell out of sight under the door before two more snarling and slobbering monsters reached through the hole clawing at the air.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Okay." said James, a little bit disappointed. They had hoped to trap about half the numbers in this house.&nbsp;"Where's the rest?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Below the window. About twenty-seven, I don't know where the other seven are."<br>
<br>
<br>
	James expression became that of a cautious one. "Were they mutants or living ghouls?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I don't know." said Mion. This could be trouble, if they were dealing with smart ghouls, this could be their death. But no matter, the brothers were determined to fight and live.<br>
<br>
<br>
	When the thirteen ghouls inside were dead,&nbsp;a couple with broken bloody sticks sticking out of their heads&nbsp;---- two spears had broken in the fight ---&nbsp;the brothers&nbsp;climbed up the roof through the window and made their way to the second building by crossing a wooden plank propped between the two roofs. Both&nbsp;attentively looked around with their suppressed pistols out. . . they had a feeling that they were being hunted.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Now that the blizzard had died down, they could see that this part of town was just teeming with ghouls in every snowy street. They were sluggish and out of it since it was day time, but come night this place would be a death zone. There was definitely no going out at night in their area.<br>
<br>
<br>
	In the next building, they repeated the same thing with the twenty seven ghouls downstairs, and one tiring, scary, bloody hour later, James&nbsp;crushed the fragile head of the last ghoul his younger brother was pinning down with a final stomp from his boot.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>Squish, squish</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	The roof was slick and slimy with entrails and coagulated blood.&nbsp;Earlier, four ghouls had broken through the door and the brothers were forced to retreat to the roof; James spear broke&nbsp;as a ghoul pounced on him and for&nbsp;one terrifying moment he grappled with its ugly head&nbsp;of before Mion&nbsp;pulled it off him,&nbsp;pinned&nbsp;it with the last spear, and&nbsp;James crushed its skull with his boot.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The stench of the undead&nbsp;didn't smell as bad as before. James must have gotten used to it already.&nbsp;The two brothers were&nbsp;splattered from head to toe with blood except for&nbsp;their covered face and eyes.&nbsp;When they went back down, a pile of dead bodies greeted them. Victory . . .<br>
<br>
<br>
	Tired, they went back to their hideout, still keeping a vigilant guard. They had killed forty-two ghouls in the last two hours. There was still the five missing ones. If they were lucky, they had ran away. But James could have sworn he saw a pair of evil eyes watching him from a shadowed window in another building.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They were exhausted and starving, but after a quick rest they set to work on fortifying the building.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They destroyed the stairs that led to the&nbsp;second floor. The only ways in was across a wooden plank onto the roof or second floor that they could pull away and hide somewhere nearby at night. Or through&nbsp;a ladder they can drop from the second floor inside the house, or the real drop-down ladder from the fire exit behind the apartment.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They boarded up the windows properly. The&nbsp;loud hammering still attracted ghouls nearby, but the brothers killed them and managed to finish boarding up the windows and doors on the first floor, put up a barricade on the stairs leading to the third floor, and board up the windows in Room 34.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James was getting all stingy from hunger. Mion, who was more used to this bore it better, but he ended up sleeping early again at around three in the afternoon.<br>
<br>
<br>
	There was someone on a building across the street watching them. James wasn't sure if it was a smart ghoul or a person, but he had his bet on the first one. But James had a gun, so he wasn't so afraid and continued working until he needed to rest again at around four thirty.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">2. From a meta standpoint, we're going to need that medkit when those people chasing us find us. James, from a character standpoint, probably doesn't want to risk aggravating his illness, even if they have materials to kinda compensate. And he might want to save it for a 'in my time of need' sort of thing, too. What they've already done sounds like vaguely decent defenses.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Scaring the shit outta me with that picture, man. Thought James or Mion got bit or something. James' fever is unrelated to him grappling with the head of a ghoul, right, Zer0? Right? Riiiiight?<br>

<br>
<br>
	" [SIZE= 18px]<b>M</b>[/SIZE]ion, Mion wake up." said James urgently, poking his brother in the back.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Whatizzit?" said Mion immediately grabbing his gun on the bedside table. " --- Hey, you okay? You're burning up."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Slight fever, it's nothing." said James distractedly.&nbsp;"More importantly&nbsp;there are ghouls&nbsp;who've&nbsp;been watching us since this afternoon, and their numbers have multiplied since."<br>
<br>
<br>
	It had been an hour since James decided to rest early. The ghouls that disappeared from the horde earlier&nbsp;were intelligent&nbsp;special infected after all. James should have gone after&nbsp;the one he saw&nbsp;earlier even though it was risky, because now even though they got rid of the horde, another one came shambling in from the next street shepherded by&nbsp;two fat, pale,&nbsp;mutated ghouls that seem to be emitting clouds of yellow spores&nbsp;from&nbsp;their oddly shaped heads&nbsp;that were attracting the witless undead ghouls.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Darn it . . ." groaned Mion, as the two brothers peeked at the worsening situation through the gaps of the boarded up windows. From the looks of things it seemed that there were seven special infected who were intelligently shepherding the ordinary ghouls to surround the apartment. Unfortunately none of them were within pistol range. Mion cursed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier, James? <i>Urgh!</i> "<br>
<br>
<br>
	This sudden outburst of temper surprised the older brother, but he did not say anything even though he was starting to feel angry for being blamed. They&nbsp;must not&nbsp;fight each other right now.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Okay, we need to make a choke point in the living room." said Mion, looking panicky but still under control. He jumped out of bed and turned on the only headlamp they had. It was six in the evening, the sun was setting and the ghouls were waking up to the night.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Alright." said James and began following his instructions.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was so sudden, he didn't know what was going on until he saw that new horde come out from the street. With the little time they had they&nbsp;used whatever furniture they could find to barricade and create a funnel to Toom 34. They had run out of staff-like wood and so could not make any more spears. They just had one left, plus knives with extended handles, some crude wooden clubs, and their suppressed pistols.<br>
<br>
<br>
	It was their second night in their hideout, the third night Mion's only had about four hours of sleep, and&nbsp;the third night since they last ate anything. Lack of food was making James sick and irritable, while Mion's lack of sleep was making him short-tempered and panicky. If they survived what was coming tonight they have got to find food tomorrow.<br>
<br>
<br>
	At six the night erupted into howls and shrieks. It was the first time their defenses was going to get tested by a horde. James peered out into the gathering night, clutching his gun.&nbsp;He could not see. They had lit torches inside, but outside they could only make out ominous silhouettes against the snow. A ghoul came rushing forward followed by the horde.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Loud booms and bangs echoed from the first floor as&nbsp;it began bashing and clawing&nbsp;its way through their barricades. Mion, who was on the second floor with James shot a bullet straight down its head. It collapsed, only to be trodden by the horde as they took its place snarling and growling, attracted by the&nbsp;light inside the building.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Save your bullets for the special infected." said Mion. "Forget the barricades in the first floor.&nbsp;I know we worked hard for it, but just let the ghouls destroy them. They can't come up to the second floor anyway and we need to conserve stamina.&nbsp;Our real problem would be the&nbsp;smart ones who&nbsp;might&nbsp;climb up through the&nbsp;unfortified windows of the second and third floor."<br>
<br>
<br>
	James just nodded. The two waited behind a barricade in the hallway outside Room 34, tense&nbsp;. . . There was a great creaking and rending noise and they finally heard the ghouls break through their defenses on the first floor. There was a frenzy of footsteps as they attacked the torches and went this way and that searching for prey. James peeked down the stairs and saw their slobbering faces looking here and there, but never up at the destroyed stairs. Except for one.<br>
<br>
<br>
	A ghoul with clever hungry eyes. It saw James, looked at the&nbsp;destroyed stairs,&nbsp;then shriek angrily. James shot it&nbsp;aiming with&nbsp;one eye open. He missed. It scampered away out of sight.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"What happened?" said Mion.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I missed one." said James. "It went away, I think outside. It's the one shrieking like a dog."<br>
<br>
<br>
	There was a sound of breaking glass that came from the second floor. Immediately they saw five special infected sprinting their way up the stairs, and by the disappearing torch lights there seemed to be&nbsp;a few who were&nbsp;putting out the&nbsp;torches behind them.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Fire!" yelled Mion. Two of the ghouls went down before James ran out of ammo. The brothers retreated inside Room 34 as the last three came raging after them. But they got stuck at the choke point; Mion shot the closest one point blank in the head. Immediately the two behind it retreated out of sight&nbsp;back into the hallway and they heard more breaking glass as the ghouls&nbsp;went outside.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>BAM! BAM!</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	Two&nbsp;were pounding on the barricades in the kitchen and bedroom. But the time lapse was too quick for it to be the ghouls that had just left.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"James, guard the entrance." said Mion who went into the bedroom.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Give me your old pistol, I'm out."<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion tossed him his old gun that wasn't suppressed and James quickly reloaded. He&nbsp;stared into the dark third floor. All the torches except the ones in their own room had been snuffed out. Behind him the ghoul was still bashing away at the barricaded kitchen window and he just couldn't help but look back, and then look&nbsp;again at the open door of their room. He should close it. He should definitely close it so that he can help Mion.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James stepped over the dead ghoul and squeezed sideways into the chokepoint to get to the door. The ghoul bashing behind him gave a shriek.&nbsp;Suddenly a ghoul came dashing from behind the door and lunged at James with claws outstretched. He saw it like it was in slow motion.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James fired three shots, all of them were so close . . . one clipped the ear, one grazed the neck, and the last whipped through the ghoul's filthy hair . . . before it grabbed on to his arm, bit down the magazine bundle armor and slashed his face. James cursed, yelling for Mion for help as he was slowed&nbsp;down in their own chokepoint, with the ghoul clinging and biting on his arm as he tried to push it away or grab a hold of its neck.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Move your head! Move your head!" yelled Mion. His younger brother fired a shot beside James ear and killed the ghoul. He pulled James out. "Are you alright, did you get bit?!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"N-no." said James, shaken. His vision was blurry, his glasses were gone. Blood was running down his face from where the ghoul slashed him. His arm was covered in the blood spray from the ghouls head. But he could feel it, his hand was stinging . . .<br>
<br>
<br>
	Mion believed him and went after the ghoul trying to enter their kitchen. James was numb and he glanced at his hand.&nbsp;There was a small&nbsp;tear on his glove&nbsp;and he could see a bite mark on his exposed thumb.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"James,&nbsp;one of the smart ones left. I'm going after it." said Mion from behind. James immediately stood&nbsp;up as if nothing was wrong. Mion gave him his glasses and quickly wiped his bloody face.&nbsp;"Can you still fight?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yeah . . . Yeah, I can." said James, putting his glasses back on and looked for some spare cloth he could wrap around his bleeding head.<br>

Besides, James can . . . James can fight it without fear of getting bit anymore.<br>

<br>
<br>
	As they crossed the simple wooden plank they had for a bridge on the roof, James was feeling remorseful. <i>Dimwitted . . .'</i> he thought of himself. Looking back at it, how could he not see it was a trap? It was such a rookie mistake assuming that the ghouls left the third floor just because he heard the windows break. His mind had automatically labeled that hallway, <i>'safe'</i>, even though he didn't see with his eyes if it actually was. And those ghouls hammering on the windows were just a distraction and a spy.<br>
<br>
<br>
	And now he's been bit, and he can't take that back. He should have trained with the soldiers years ago and got some experience out in the field instead of staying cooped up in his laboratory all the time. He should have immediately cut off his own hand when he got bit, but instead he just sat there paralyzed with what just happened, and now the virus was coursing through his entire body. When was he going to <i>'turn'</i>?<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
	"Got it." said James snapping out of his&nbsp;reverie.<br>

	The fat ghoul was&nbsp;waddling down the stairs, it wasn't fast enough and the brothers trapped it when Mion dropped down to the ground floor and rose, gun up, blocking the bottom. The pale monster howled releasing a spore cloud, it turned up in panic and saw --- or rather sensed. It did not have eyes now that they saw it up close&nbsp;--- that James was there holding the spear. It turned back on Mion and pounced at him, but Mion had already fired a suppressed shot&nbsp;that went through the monster's cabbage-like head, and he side-stepped quickly before the monster hit the ground, dead.<br>
<br>
<br>
	They looked around in the dark, Mion's flashlight sweeping the floor for any more ghouls nearby. There was none, though they still heard the snarling and shrieking of the horde outside. They climbed back up, James wondering how he was going to leave his brother. Or should he ask him to shoot him? No . . . he could not do that.<br>
<br>
<br>
	When they reached the safety of their hideout, Mion was glad that no other ghouls managed to reach the second and third floors. "That seems to be the last of the smarties'.&nbsp;We can&nbsp;deal with this horde tomorrow." he said.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James just nodded. His hand&nbsp;felt like it was&nbsp;burning and the fever he had earlier seemed to be worsening. After re-lighting the torches, they moved on to repairs and cleaning up the bodies. As much as possible James didn't want to be near his brother in case he turned, and had the suppressed pistol that only had one bullet left to shoot himself with just in case he did. He went to one of the other rooms&nbsp;on the&nbsp;second floor on the pretense of looking for more wood and used nails for the barricade, leaving Mion in room 34.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James&nbsp;had decided. He was just going to secretly leave and then decide how he was going to kill himself. Very quickly he took off his make shift magazine armor and everything he was carrying that could be of use to Mion. He wanted to keep the gun with the one bullet, but his brother needed it more. He wished he had a pen to write with, but as he had none, he just used a small shard of wood dipped in his blood . . .<br>
<br>
<br>
	"James, will you give me a hand with the bodies, the barricades can wait." said Mion, annoyed,&nbsp;minutes later. "James?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	The older Cunning was nowhere to be found. Instead, in Room 22, on a pile of his neatly folded clothes was a torn piece of page from a magazine weighed down by his suppressed pistol. Mion picked it up, already knowing what this meant, and read the words written in shining red blood.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	<i>[SIZE= 16px]"[/SIZE]</i>[SIZE= 16px]I got bit. Don't catch a cold, Mion."[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	As he climbed down the fire exit, James heard his younger brother curse&nbsp;then yell out his name angrily,&nbsp;calling him to show&nbsp;himself. "JAMES! JAAAAMES!! JAMES, @*#%! COME BACK!"&nbsp;Mion commanded. "COME BACK, @*#%! --- JAMES, COME BACK, PLEASE!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	Never had he heard his younger brother so anguished, but James didn't say anything. Didn't even look back when he dropped on to the snow and slipped into the darkness out of sight of the apartment.<br>

	[1] - Die at the docks. It's likely a survivor is there who can end his life quickly and painlessly. James really didn't want to be eaten alive. He could catch fish here too. Have one last meal.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - Die outside of town, in the forest. He doesn't want his brother to see his body at any time at all.<br>
<br>
<br>
	[3] - Die somewhere comforting. Some lonely place where he could just think and somehow try to just get some semblance of peace.<br>

	"[SIZE= 18px]<b>H</b>[/SIZE]aaah . . . haah . . ." James breath came out in cold mists as he stumbled, shivering,&nbsp;around the undead infested town in the freezing night. He was covered in the stinky guts and remains of a ghoul he killed earlier. It was masking his smell and by the way the walking dead were ignoring him seemed to be working.<br>
<br>
<br>
	He was so depressed, tired and feverish, his manly tears and the blood seeping from his head wound had frozen on his face as he kept on walking to who knows where. One thought stuck in his numb, aching head. " Mion musn't see my corpse."<br>
<br>
<br>
	He didn't want to turn here and he didn't know when that was going to happen, so he hurried and ran, ran, ran, until he heard lesser ghouls and finally all around the quiet of winter enveloped him.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Exhausted, sick, infected, and hungry, he broke inside the nearest building and collapsed on the floor. The moon was casting a blue light upon the dusty carpet.&nbsp;James vision was getting blurry, he was burning with fever all over and a searing pain radiated from his bitten hand. It must be close now, the end . . . He tried to get some semblance of peace, but how could he?<br>
<br>
<br>
	He failed to develop a cure, he failed to protect his friends, he failed to rescue Samantha, and it was all his fault that his brother was now alone . . . At least Nicolai and Saiyuri escaped . . . they can continue developing the cure. They can meet up with his brother whom James was certain could still survive this. And then they can rescue Samantha . . . all things they can do without him. He&nbsp;worked his utmost best&nbsp;on&nbsp;progressing the cure, and he did not have regrets about that.<br>
<br>
<br>
	He was getting sleepy now. Quickly, before he lost consciousness . . . James took out&nbsp;his knife with the extended handle.<br>

<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><b>Canine&nbsp;Allergy</b><br>
				- Dogs and wolves make him sneeze uncontrollably. Not good when you're trying to sneak pass them.<br>
			</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><b>Honorable</b><br>
				- In a harsh 'dog eat dog' world like this, James' kindness is likely to kill him.<br>
			</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><b>Limp Noodle</b><br>
				- No muscle, runs out of breath easily, can't even win a brawl. Low physical pain tolerance. Cries out easily when hurt, will cave in easily to physical torture. Exception is when he has to protect his work.<br>

<br>
<br>
	He did not know how long he's been sick with the cold and with fever. It seemed like he's been coughing and going through stages of fever and chills forever. He didn't know where he was and who he was, and all the while his stomach growled in abject hunger. Sometimes he'd crawl to a musty sofa to chew on the tattered cloth, or eat the peeling wall paper. He was so weak. Death must be coming soon.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Achoo!" James sniffed, curled up against the wall, shivering under a ray of golden sun. Was heaven taking him up? Funny, he didn't think he was going there after all his failures.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Oh, and look, an angel seems to be peering down from the clouds, her long brown hair cascading down her face. " . . . whar yohou live . . ." echoed her voice.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Achoo!" repeated James. "Take . . . me . . ." he croaked at the angel. Suddenly his vision was obscured by something large and hairy that was sniffing him all over.<br>
<br>
<br>
	<i>Bark, bark, bark!</i><br>
<br>
<br>
	"Oh . . . so dogs do go to heaven . . ." muttered James before sneezing one final time and then passing out.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	[SIZE= 14px]" 36 Days till Spring, Sunday,&nbsp;12:00 p.m.&nbsp;"[/SIZE]<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	" . . . and I'm telling you for the umpteenth time, that's the famous scientist <i>James Cunning</i>, so you can't just kill him."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Hold it, hold it, you mean the son of that bloody slob who caused the apocalypse?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	James stirred awake. It was day time and he was weakly looking at the wooden bottom of another bed bunk. He smelled terrible and as he raised a hand to wipe the gunk off his eyes, there was a <i>clang</i> and saw that his limbs were hand-cuffed to the bed posts.<br>
<br>
<br>
	Was this a dream . . . ?<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yes, and before you get angrier, last we heard he was working on a cure in some military base. That's why he didn't <i>turn.</i> " said a woman's muffled voice in a nearby room.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"How'd you know? For all we know he might turn any second, not all people turn into ghouls after ten seconds or, or, half an hour. I knew one fisherman who turned after two days!" said the gruff voice of a man.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yeah, well it's the second day already and he hasn't been showing the usual symptoms of the virus. If anything, apart from&nbsp;emaciation and that cold he had two days ago, he's alright!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	As the two people argued, James was slowly coming back to his senses. He remembered what happened. He got bit, he left his younger brother . . . and then . . . blank&nbsp;. . . how did he get here? That he didn't remember, nor had he heard these people's voices before, but one thing for sure was they were deciding his fate. He looked around. He was in a&nbsp;clean room with boarded up windows. There were shelves upon shelves of various frog-shaped trinkets, and one side was a book case filled with books. There was a mirror on a desk, and on the desk was a radio, some ammo, a disassembled pistol that was being cleaned, some make up, and three cans of expired dog food.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Alright, I've heard enough." said another man, this time more authoritative and calm than the other two. "Bill, I understand that everyone is nervous that we have someone who got bit inside our colony, but if it's true that this man is who you say he is, Jacky, then we can't abandon him."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"There you go." said the lady smugly as though that settled it. The man named Bill grumbled incoherently, but didn't say anything. There were footsteps walking away, then a door opened and slammed, then all was silence.<br>
<br>
<br>
	James tried to speak and found that his throat was dry and hoarse. And so he clanged rhythmically on the bed to try to get the attention of whoever was on the other side.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The door opened and in came an older&nbsp;grizzled man with&nbsp;a pistol who immediately pointed it between James' eyes. James shook his head in fear, mouthing, "I'm not a ghoul, I'm not a ghoul!"<br>
<br>
<br>
	The man looked relieved and lowered his weapon. "It's alright." he said into the other room and a lady with brown hair tied in a ponytail peeked out from behind his shoulder. He turned back at James, smiling reassuringly.&nbsp;"Don't worry, it's alright, son, I'm not going to hurt you, it was just a precaution." the man approached him placing the gun on the desk, but stayed a good five feet away, and the lady followed.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Are you hungry?" she asked James, concerned.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Thirsty." whispered James croakily. "Sugar water, please&nbsp;. . ."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Got it." she left immediately, leaving James alone with the older man.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"The name's Frank Netter,"&nbsp;said the man, "you're in my safehouse in my daughter's room in Krusty Colony --- don't ask about the name, trust me we've been trying to change it, but when you've got a&nbsp;huge billboard with the words Krusty Burger on the building where you're staying, people tend to call your place that." he chuckled. "Are you James Cunning?" he added on a serious note.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yes."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Do you remember how you got here?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"No, last thing I know I was inside a house. I was . . . trying to kill myself, but I didn't have the courage to do it."<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Why'd you try to kill yourself?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I got bit." James looked at his left thumb. It had been bandaged, but the edge of a healing scar peeked from underneath.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Did you develop a cure, is that why you didn't turn?"<br>
<br>

	[1] - "No, me and&nbsp;my brother, we got attacked and was separated from our team.&nbsp;Then we&nbsp;ended up escaping here. There's no cure. We haven't been successful yet." said James truthfully.<br>

<br>

<br>
	"<b>[SIZE= 18px]N[/SIZE]</b>o." said James, facingt the bottom of the top bunk in a slightly shamed voice.&nbsp;"We haven't&nbsp;developed a cure yet, but I've got a solid lead on it now, if I keep on being human.&nbsp;I have a high density of antibodies that slow the replication of the virus. " he lied smoothly as though stating&nbsp;a fact that he's known all his life. "We haven't successfully transferred my high resistance to a human host, but we've lowered the aggression of one infected mouse . . ." he raised his bandaged hand.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I've never been bitten before, we've always used&nbsp;weaker strains of the virus on my blood to try and create a vaccine, never on that much saliva on the usual strain. Do you have a cough mask, anything to cover my mouth so that my spit won't fly into your eyes?" he added, glancing sideways at the grizzled man, but making sure his mouth was just facing the top bunk.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"I'll have one made." said Frank. He looked like he believed what James had said and from his eyes James could see that here was a rare&nbsp;honorable man who was thinking on how best to support him. It was the same look James' subordinates would give him showing that they want to help with the cure, even if it was difficult, because they want to save lives.<br>
<br>
<br>
	The woman with long hair came back with a glass of cloudy liquid and a straw. "Here, your sugar water." Frank blocked her way with a hand.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Don't go near. You can't let his saliva get into your eyes when he talks." he covered James mouth with a cloth and slipped under the straw and let him drink from the glass himself.<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Thank you." said James later. His stomach growled, but he ignored it. He had to be patient and reintroduce food to his body slowly. From the way he was feeling he could tell that he was undergoing marasmus, or severe malnutrition. There was a big chance his body will reject food if he ate solids immediately. He looked at the lady. "Were you the one who rescued me?"<br>
<br>
<br>
	"Yes. It's Sunday now, about twelve in the afternoon. My name is Harriette Netter, though you can call me 'Harry', most people around here do. What happened to you?" she asked curiously.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
	***<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
	[1] - "Now, now. Let him have some rest." said Frank. (James focuses on regaining his strength)<br>
	&nbsp;<br>
<br>
<br>
	[2] - "We were attacked." began James. (Lies some more, feeding them with half-truths that kept Mion out of the story. James purpose now must be to survive by persuading these people to help him, get back to his brother who's hopefully found the others, and find out whether the people hunting him have heard that he's here.)<br>
<br>
<br>
	<br>
	[3] - James couldn't help but notice that Harriette had beautiful stormy grey eyes.<br>
<br>
