Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Greenly ran down the hall, desprate to find his best friend and then get the hell out of there. Hopefully before the missle hit. "Nick!" he shouted. Nothing. Meanwhile, Nick was looking for his dog Terry. "Come here boy!" he called. "Terry!" He suddenly heard a growl. When he turned around, there was his beloved Golden Retreiver, chunks of hair missing, bite marks on it, and completely zombified. Terry was gone. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Terry lept at his former owner, and Nick stumbled trying to get away from his dog. Suddenly, BLAM! Terry collabpsed dead at his masters feet. Zack Greenly stood a few feet away with his gun still smoking. "I'm sorry Nick, but we have to go." Nick, with tears still streaming down his face, suddenly remembered why he hadn't left yet. "Zack, there's a child trapped outside the gate! We have to help him!" "Nick, we don't have time for this! A missle's about to hit!" "Which is all the more reason to-wait, what?!" "Several countries are launching missles at the US in an attempt to destroy the virus. ""They can't do that!" "Yes they can, and they are. We have to get to the bomb shelter." "I'm saving that kid." Finally, Zack gave in. "Allright, we get the kid, then find a way to the shelter." "Fine." Nick and Zack stocked up and ran into the yard where the gate stood still. "What makes you think he even survived?" "I know he did. Just trust me." They hopped the wall, and Zack covered Nick while he searched the car for Jake. He found him hiding in the trunk. "W-who are you?" the kid managed to ask. "My name's Nick, and I'm gonna bring you to saftey." Jake scrambled onto Nick's back and they rushed towards the gate. "Zack, I got him!" "Great!" Zack called. Once they were all safely inside the base, they realized the the zombies now knew there were people inside, and were working as hard as they could to break down the gate. "My dad." Jake said. "Right!" Nick exclaimed. "There's no way in hell I'm going after this kid's father too." "You don't have too. Take Jake down to the shelter and I'll find his dad." And Nick rushed off without another word. "I have to help him." Jake said. "But how?"
