Glock and started shooting rapidly.
The problem was he forgot to put the silencer on the damn thing.
    “Shut the fuck up,” I growled in his direction. “Fall back
and kick the damn doors open on that house.”
    Because our weapons were silenced, we were able to hear one
another despite the growls, snarls and screams of the zombies moving in on us.
    “Back up towards the house,” I ordered everyone else.
    We began to back up immediately, but the wall of lead we
were dishing out to keep the zombies at bay wasn’t going to buy us enough time
to get secured inside the house.
    So, I did what I had to do to save my buddies. I waited till
I heard the crunch of a door being broken down and I ran straight for the
shamblers. I let go of my rifle in mid-run and yanked my tomahawk out of my
belt.
    I heard Dudley shouting my name, but it would have been too
late for me to turn around even if I had wanted to. The zombies were just too
close.
    My actions had the desired effect. Our attackers stopped
charging immediately. They didn’t know quite what to make of my attack. Before
they could figure it out, I was on top of them and hacking my way through.
    “ How many zombies were
coming towards your team ?”
    I didn’t exactly have time to count, but I’m guessing that
there were more than a hundred. They were literally pouring out from all the
houses across the street. We just had the misfortune to stumble upon a
seriously nasty nest of vipers.
    Kinda typical for us if you really stop and think about it.

Chapter 2
    Dudley

 
 
    I waited for Dudley in
the same conference room I met the General in. He arrived twenty minutes late
with a salad in one hand and a protein shake in the other. He was still wearing
the tight t-shirts, but he seemed to be a lot more muscular.
    He didn’t say a word
when he walked in the room; he was too busy setting down his meal and answering
a text on his phone, both at the same time. When all was finished, he pushed
his Elvis style sunglasses up on top of his head and smiled at me .
    Your hair is different little lady.
    “ Do you like it ?”
    Pretty nice.
    “ Did Jaxon tell you
why I was here ?”
    He said you’re fishing, but I’m thinking that what you are
really interested in is a spin off story all about me. I’m sure everybody would
love to hear tales of me wrestling with gorillas and slaying dragons and stuff.
    I had to laugh at
this. Dudley didn’t really join in, so I cut it off quickly. He was more
interested in stirring his protein shake .
    “ Well, why don’t we
just start off like we did the last time. Jaxon was telling me about how you
were all attacked on a street named Oveja shortly after your arrival .”
    Yeah, that was a fucking blast. I knew something was wrong
from the get-go. What kind of asshole throws a rock to get our attention and
then hides? It was bogus, but there you have it. We tend to meet some seriously
deranged individuals in our line of work, but back then…we had no idea how
badly fear can jack somebody up.
    “ Is that what happened ? Was the man afraid ?”
    He was terrified. He saw movement in the windows earlier in
the day, that’s why he dragged his family to the roof. He wanted to be out of
the way in case they came over to pay him a visit.
    We didn’t know that at the time of course. All we knew was
that we were under attack and the enemy was just flowing towards us like a
giant wave from hell. I could smell the barest hint of rot in the air when we
stopped, but it was nothing like the smell that assaulted our nostrils when
they all came running out at us.
    We were firing like hell to keep them back, but those things
know no fear. They just kept coming. I was afraid we were gonna run out of
ammo, and the shamblers just kept getting closer and closer as they climbed
over the dead and down.
    “ That reminds me,
where did you get the name shambler ?”
    If you look at them, they’re a freaking mess. They are
literally in shambles…but for whatever
