Pandemic (Zombies pt. 2)

[Iz]

Meanwhile at the research facility the 60 turret had quitened..... the robotic eye to the turret scanned the horizon for movement but none seemed to show up. The ground on the parking lot was strewn with bodies, at least 300 had been obliterated by the turret, but what had become of the, at least, 3000 other employees, which had all, if not a very high number, that had become zombiefied? The turrets camera scanned the area once more before turning to a static as a car swerved off the road taking it out can causing the tank to explode setting off the dozens of cars piled on the highway. The explosiong spread to total at least 20 vehicles sending body parts everywhere, the Zombies had made it out of the labs and were already wreaking havoc on nearby houses, businesses, their numbers were growing at an exponential rate. Screams could be heard for blocks, explosions for miles.... It sounded liek civil war in Albany, it had bbecome a full scale war of the people... People grabbed up hunting rifles, fighting them off in small teams, only to end up at a street intersection and become cut off by the massive hordes.... It was now more than a problem, it was a [glow=green,5,300]Pandemic....[/glow]

[Roxanne]

Again she had been forgotten, but then again, she had been quiet the whole time. As Draven and Jack had gotten out of the hummer, so had she, and she had followed along quietly. Now Draven, Jack and the other biter were talking, and she remained in the shadows for the most part in the room. Those crazed blues were watching, as information was picked up and processed.

Why did this stuff always happen to her? All she had wanted to do was see Mika, and Draven had her smell around him. So it had been obvious...attach herself to him and just wait. Her fingers spun the 'dart' tracking device that she still held in her thigh, widening the wound even as it continuously tried to heal about it.

Zombies. Bah! They were never a good thing. Always trying to eat you and usually making you sick. And there were a lot of them. She shook her head slowly to herself. There had been a HELL of a lot of them. A lot of trees had just become deadwood. And they think to ...quarantine Albany? Her lips curled slightly. Good luck on that one. Even as they sat here trying to discuss plans, who was out there trying to stop the spread?

She smelled the distruction and chaos already in the air. That faint grin deepened into a growing mad one. Oh this was going to be fun to play with.

[Agent White]

Sitting at his table in waffle house with his fellow Agents White would move his coffee to his lips as he heard the other two speaking a brow arching slightly at the bizarre sight he saw. a woman soaked in blood pressed herself up to the glass of the window and appeared to be screaming. It took little time for him to realize what was happening as the Zombies that had been persuing her caught up and drug her to the ground. Standing slowly White would pull his 45 looking between the other two agents.[/b]

"it appears we have a problem."

[The Crimson Agent]

::he would look to Black as he spoke back and forth with him. Then looking to White as he got a feeling in his spine. Those hues would look towards the window and he would shake his head and sigh::

Great I cant ever get a full fucking meal now can I? Damnit!

::looking towards the glass he would pull out his 9mm and start shooting::

A fucking breakfast!!!!!!!! Thats all I want. TAKE FIVE FUCKING MINUTES PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

[Agent Black]

He would look up at the glass while still sipping at his black coffee....

"Damn.... already here?"

While still sipping on his coffee he drew a Mk. 23 from inside his jacket and fired at the moving objects in his peripheral with his offhand.

[Agent White]

seeing that his fellow agents had removed that pesky glass that was keeping the zombies out he would shake his head and begin firing at the corpses as they approached the open window and the front doors. looking to a grill cook her would yell to the man

"Find something to bar the door. If there is a back way out of here check it for Zombies."

[Agent Black]

He looked at White.... then to the parkinglot where he could make out his car through the Zombies, and then back to the opposite side of the building where the Zombies were not.... then he took the last sip of his coffee stood up and started walking towards the kitchen and the back door.

"Come on, this way, we will move up to the roof."

[Sora]

Sora and Josh finally returned ...before the others had. It had been a hectic day, unloading and moving back into their new place. She sat on the couch, looking at all the boxes everywhere that needed to be unpacked, and wrinkled her nose. The baby kicked at her constantly now, and seemed to drain her more and more of energy everyday.

She really didn't feel like unpacking.

She picked up her phone with a yawn, turning it on for the first time in over a week, and began to check her messages.

[Joshua Grey]

::His phone had been blown up while they were gone but nothing to crazy all managable actually and soon he had fixed all the problems or soothed all the angered employees. A look to his wife and he would smile then return to moving things here and there as they settled into their new home. Moving to the babies room he would begin to unpack the things that they had bought so far, as well as the new things he had had someone go get while they were gone.::

[Sora]

Well, not like she had many friends to begin with, so her phone didn't hold too many messages, just a few here or there job related. She also took care of what she had to, and would return the smile to Josh as he went about unpacking. She sighed wearily, and forced herself to get up and start going through some other boxes. After awhile, she went to look for him, finding him in the baby's room, and smiled slightly, her arms moving over her stomach as she leaned against the door frame. "You're really excited about this, aren't you?" She asked quietly after a moment.

[Joshua Grey]

Very much so. ::he would kiss her lips gently then look over their new home:: When is the cable guy suppose to come?

[Sora]

"Two hours ago.." She smirked, shaking her head. "And he better hurry. I can't even get in a good radio station in here. That's sad."

[Iz]

Iz was in his house loading weapons and directing the traffic of his personal Army getting ready for the attack on the Albany infection

Jack was rummaging through Iz's weapons and stealing a few for his own use.... a SCAR-H and a brand new M8 and a UMP 45 then he went into his room and to the closet and grabbed a new suitcase off of the stack and a smaller suitcase off his dresser.... he always needed a Mini-Hecate

It had been a hard place and the man within even harder. Leaning against a tree she watched the men at the front gate for a short time, eyes missing nothing. Looked easy enough to get into or so she thought. Strolling right up to the small guard shack she deliberately knocked on the window “You boys tell me where I can be finding Iz?” That all she knew him by. She leaned against the wall and peered at the boys inside, one foot tapping impatiently.

The Guard looked at her, “and who might you be? I will see if he wishes to speak with you while my partner here searches you....” He nodded and another guard stepped out patting the woman down, “Clean”

Draven was thoroughly in the process of having a nervous breakdown as he paced back and fort behind the couch lighting on cigarette off of another as he shook his head and looked to Iz. "man I thought Az was exaggerating when he called you crazy, damn damn was I wrong"

Eyeballing the one male as he came 'round to pat her she huffed indignantly. “Them hands go where they ain't s'posed to and you better be puttin a ring on my finger.” Suffering through the patting she turned those big baby blues to the one still safely tucked inside the shack. “I’m Lilah.” Spoken as if that would mean something.

Iz looked at Draven “you spend half an eternity in heaven dealing with angel politics, then reject heaven after trying to overthrow God, spend a few decades in hell before getting sent through some crazy ass warped vortex ending up in the middle of some damn desert ripping your own wings off then get bit by an Egyptian whore contracting vampirism and have to live with az for well over 15,000 fucking years.... you see how damn sane you are....."

the guard picked up the phone and called Iz catching him right after the short rant and he answered heaving a breath out "There is a Lilah here to see you sir...."

Draven replied "just amazes me you brother hasn't flipped his shit... I've been with you for a couple hours and i am entertaining the prospects of a lead sandwich"

Iz thought for a moment, recognized the name and just said “send her in, escort her to the armory” before snapping the phone shut “A Lead sandwich eh'? you are just stressed its ok...”

Jack stepped back into the armory, looking to his brother and then to Iz “No He is past stressed.....”

Digging in the pocket of her jeans she pulled out a pack of Bubblicious and popped a piece in her mouth. The gum cracked loudly as she blew bubbles while waiting for the guard to finish with the phone. “Geeze you boys are slow.” Muttering softly she started to pace. “Bah, if you just open the damn gate I can find my own way.” Yup she remembered his scent very well and was sure she could find him

Draven heard Stressed and looked up to Iz. "Stressed?? Stressed is when your bills are late, Stressed is when you are running late for an important meeting. This Is not fucking stressed. We are stairing Armageddon in the face and you wanna call it stressed. Your moral compass is so fucked up you couldn't use it to find your ass, we’ve moved beyond stressed straight into the realm of totally fucking Screwed....."

The Guard picked up his rifle and walked out to meet this "Lilah" pointing her in the direction of the armory "Walk he will see you in his armory, don't try anything you wont make it out....."


Iz couldn’t hold in the laughter “Well, you say Armageddon, but i offered to take care of it in one fell swoop.... its just some Zombies, we might have to shoot them for a while but hell, what trouble is it to shoot a few zombies?”

Eyes roll as she marched in the direction she had been pointed and in short order soon found herself in a version of heaven. Standing in the doorway, eyes grew quite round as she ogled all the equipment and without being invited, she wanted around and began to check out the equipment. “Hey, you got handcuffs?” Maybe a cat-o-nine-tails would be nice too. She kept that part to herself since she didn't want to scare what she figured were straights.

Draven would start to respond and then stop gazing to his brother before looking back to Iz. "A few? He said a few zombies. yanno just two or three of them... HELL We only gotta kill everyone in Albany before they FUCKING EAT US!"

“Who is gunna eat us?” Now that just sounded kinky. Her kinda party too.

Iz shook his head “Soo pessimistic, this is a disease.... there has to be a cure, and if not, then damn i guess we are cutting the Phoenix Gate's population by a few thousand, they have a weakness, maybe a gas or something.... I will start looking into it while the rest of my army mobilizes... I won’t make the mistake my scientists did...."

"Maybe you should go ask them." He would grumble as he moved into the armory seeing a woman he didn't know before watching her cautiously....

Iz turned his head to Lilah.... “Giant horde of Zombies”

Jack shook his head at the argument going on between his brother and his employer.... where had all of this come from and what was he going to do with it..... "Iz, how long is it going to take for your army to mobilize?"

Iz being torn in three by the conversations he looked to Jack. “An hour more should do it....”

Lilah was still looking for the handcuffs, mhm. Seeing how busy he was, she would wait her turn. Delilah was pretty well engrossed in picking through the cache of weapons that Iz had stockpiled. She had some particular things in mind too.

As Draven moved about the armory he would start pocketing Ammunition as he looked over the various guns there in hops of possibly supplementing the ones he already had. With a horde of Zombies on the horizon you can never have too many guns, or bullets....

Iz would look back to Lilah, “and what is it that you have come to visit me for?”

Jack noticed his brother and he would walk over to him.... "All of the large caliber rifles are in my room in my own personal armory, Iz doesn’t like his normal Soldiers having those weapons, you want anything bigger than this shit?"

Pausing as she heard Iz's voice she turned, her hands full of throwing stars. “Erm, I'm good with my hands and all but there are just some things that ya can't stop with your fist. Mhm” Looking down tothe things in her hands she held them up for Iz to see. “You got this in purple? Pink maybe?” Such a fashion conscious girl eh?

Iz gave Lilah a glare, “..... Ummm... no.... just silver and black, but they are always paintable.... So you came to me in search of weapons?”

Draven would look over to his brother and nod. "At least a .338 or two, and a couple .454 revolvers I want stopping power and as much as I can carry"

Lilah slid a few sly glances towards the others in the room then shrugged. “For now, yeah.” Other things were best spoken about in private mhm. “Ohhhh!” Skipping across the room she carefully tucked the stars in her pocket before she started fingering the butterfly knives. Picking one up she worked it a little ineptly and shrugging to herself she tucked it too in a pocket. “Needs work. Now this is what I'm talking about.” The escrima sticks positively made her eyes light up. “Hmm ...” Couldn't tuck those in a pocket so under her arm they went. "Oooh, hey, Iz? What you gunna charge me for this stuff?"

Jack looked to his brother, "Then right this way,” stepping back down the hallway he turned into his room pointing to the closets with the rifles

Iz would step down motioning for Lilah to follow him and lead her to the bladed section of his armory, "Here is where I believe you are going to find anything you need, now i can offer these to you free of charge if you go into my employment but if you don’t wish to then you can have them at a discount and pay me later if you would just help me with my uh.... Zombie issue...."

Draven would fall into step behind Jack moving into the room and looking over the rifles. "What about those revolvers?"

Jack pointed to the set of chester drawers "They are all in there, should have anything you need.... just don't touch my backup Eagles...."

As Lilah followed Iz she clapped her hands and danced around like a kid in a toy store. “O.K.!” It was going to take her a while to settle on a blade as they all seemed to be so finely crafted. “Hey, while I'm at it, ya wanna gimme a place to stay too?” Bold little shit wasn't she. Shrugging she listened for the sound of his voice above the others while she went back to inspecting the goods before her.

He nodded, "then I take it you want option A?"

"no worries they're far from my weapon of choice." Grabbing A Mini Hecate and a few clips he would throw it over his shoulder before opening the drawer and pulling out two of those .454 revolvers looking them over. "Now all I need are some nice hollow points with Uranium cores."

“We can talk about option A later, uh-huh.” Nodding, she carefully picked up one of the katanas to test the feel of it in her hands. Making a face she returned it to its spot and moved on down the line until she found one that felt right.

“I can give you a place to stay, no problem, I have plenty of room, take all the weaponry you need then meet up with the rest of us at the convoy that is forming out front, you are about to move out, I must go grab my laptop so that I can find out how to stop these fucking zombies,” he got up and stepped out to his room," Just don’t take everything...”he smiled and winked to her before walking down the hall towards his room.

“Yee-Haw!” This was better than a no limit credit card! It took her only 5 minutes to assemble the rest of her gear and meet up with the others. “Just tell me where to go Boss.” She was still arranging the various goodies she had collected in pockets. The butterfly knife had been securely closed and then tucked discreetly into her cleavage. Everything utilized she always said.

"Ammo is in these other set of drawers over here.... these small suitcases here are full of Mini-Hecate clips.... and the ammo boxes are all stashed in the drawers... larger the caliber higher the drawer" Jack then pointed to the 5 foot drawers sitting about 10 feet from Draven

"Duffle bag?"

"Box at the end of the bed"

Iz came back down the hallways and out the front doors meeting up with Lilah, “You ride in the front truck with me, and," He tossed her a true katana, made by feudal Samurai in Japan hundreds of years ago, "I brought you a gift..."

Moving to the box Draven would take out a bag and slip two of the rifles within followed by a good 40 clips for the Hecate, moving to the drawers he would start loading up on ammo for the revolvers before tossing the bag over his shoulder and heading back to Iz's armory, there he would grab 2 SIG 550s and many more clips before zipping up the bag, "Now I feel better" Grabbing his other Duffle bag and the AS50 he would look to his brother as he made his way towards the door "which truck we taking?"

Jack waved his brother towards the front doors and grabbed his SCAR-H and Mini-Hecate along with his faithful 50's and as many bullets as he could fit on himself in two suitcases and a duffel bag then he stepped out to join the convoy, "The second one"

With a silent nod he would make his way towards the truck and toss the bags into the back before removing one of the 550s and several clips. "Com equipment?"

“It's all in the truck"

The katana was deftly caught; appreciative eye roaming over the blade as she slowly unsheathed it. “Now this ....” The beauty of the blade itself took her breath away and re-sheathing the wondrous thing she made those few to his side and placed a chaste kiss to his cheek. “Thank you.” Simple yes? But the look in her eye gave form to the appreciation and honor of the gift.

Draven would cast Jack another nod as he climbed into the Truck and claimed his Radio and headset slipping the radio into one of th many pockets on his vest before slipping into the ear peice and mic turning it on he would speak over the radio to all. "Alright kids lets go fuck some shit up."

Jack climbed into the truck behind his brother sitting his shit down and affixing his earpiece

Iz, already wearing his radio nodded, "Lets do just that" He placed a hand behind Lilahs back directing her to the truck before climbing in and staring on his laptop trying to find out how to stop these damn things....

Settling in, she found herself wedged between Iz and Gods know who else. She eyed the males and wondered that she was the only female as of yet. Setting some of her gear between her feet she leaned back taking occasional peeks at the screen of Iz's laptop.

With everyone aboard the trucks they moved out, rolling to try and create a perimeter around Albany....

[Roxanne]

Was Lilah the only one? Not in the least. Roxanne followed quietly behind, remaining unobtrusive and unobserved. When they had all climbed into the truck, she slipped into the back, and huddled down, that strange maniacle grin still on her lips. Yay! They were gonna go have fun now.

[Joshua Grey]

::His eyes would look to the clock again and he would shake his head:: Damn cable guy....

::he would watch her as she moved and then stood to go and pick up the phone only to find it dead, pressing the connections button a few more times then slamming it down::

i thought we had the phones turned on!
