I was just standing there with my shirt off showing them that I was in bitten and they're just staring at me like I'm crazy. Well, I might be a little bit crazy because of the situation that we're all in being trapped in our beloved city and all with the dead trying to get us. Finally, one of the females came walking to the door she still looked a bit scared I can tell that she wasn't anymore. She opened up the door to really check to see if I had any bite marks or scratches from the dead. After her check she looked behind her and nodded her head, I'm guessing that means I was cleared to enter. I got my things and I walked through the glass door to meet the seven individuals that were there. I introduced myself as Jackie and where I was from and where I'm going to what I was doing here.it was a bit of a long interdiction of myself. I also told him about the school and how was the leader of them and how I'm just trying to find people to save and to maybe get back to some people the smallest amount of normalcy that we can create in our new world.

They all looked at me one of them came forward. It was a short girl with a pixie cut and it had all sorts of colors in it. She introduced herself as Iris and that she study biomedicine here at the university. Then the girl who opened the door for to me introduced herself as Stacy and she was an international student from Australia studying organic chemistry. Then there were two that look exactly alike and I'm guessing they were twins. They were both studying to becoming doctors and their names were Tori and Tony both girls had a Spanish accent. Then there was Mike and Eric the only two guys that were there and they studied biology and chemical engineering. Then the last one came forward introducing herself is Jamie and she was a first-year professor and she studied and taught pathology and forensic science. It was an interesting mix here. They weren't really the kind to fight.

I wouldn't really say classroom it was more of a lab because of the machines and equipment that was in here. I also saw test tubes and other science equipment that I didn't really know the name of and I just looked at the seven people that were there and thought to myself "what the hell are these people doing and what I got myself into". One of the twins step forward and spoke in her Spanish accent "how is it like outside? I mean we've been outside butt we don't really know how people are surviving". I look at her and I thought of an answer I told her what I've been doing as a building at the school later and try and help people but then there's things I also didn't tell them about killing someone and seeing his eyes every time you go to sleep and rescuing two girls from getting attacked or something worse. Or how I let a child suffer and turn into a growler. One of the undead so I can understand it and what happens after you've been bitten. I thought about what it means to survive here and now and what will happen tomorrow and that what happened yesterday will always be ingrained into you because you can't forget it. I thought about how it all went down and where I was or where Sally was and we're these seven individuals were when it all went down. They could have been studying and partying for all I know. Then it all came crashing down on me and I told them that it's hell, what do you expect. It was just something you can't really comprehend until you lived it, seen it, before taking a life for yourself. It just happens I really can't explain it. But I didn't want them to know exactly what it's like to be outside without going outside themselves and I told him that they should experience it for themselves.

I also wanted to know what they were doing and so I asked what are you guys doing. Then Jamie the professor who was my height with light brown skin and black hair and hazel eyes spoke" we're trying to understand what's going on not in a mental sense more of a physical sense, like where did this come from how's it going will it evolve or will it dissolve? Is this nature or some type of chemical warfare I really don't know but we just need some samples to fully figure it out". That's all she said I didn't really understand what she was trying to say because I kind of flew over my head a bit but I think I understand the concept. I think they just want to understand this and try to find a cure, well at least someone does it's not like our government is helping us. I still haven't seen a plane drop any aid yet and that message was broadcast weeks ago. I asked if they heard about the Army's announcement at Times Square and they said no so I told them. The two boys Mike and Eric looked pissed and I don't blame them but the others they look like this is something that they expected and to tell you the truth I also expected this as well.

I was asked a lot of questions but the people that are in this room. It was amazing really it was like they were there for the first two weeks of the zombie apocalypse and then they've just been in this room on this one floor living here trying to understand it but they didn't really have any samples. I had a feeling in my gut they're going to ask me to do something crazy in order to get those samples and this might just get me killed. But you know I can live for today and not know what happens tomorrow. I might be alive today and I might die today because all I know that yesterday I was alive and I did not die. I don't know what tomorrow will bring because I only got today, I can live and die for today. With this thought in mind I was thinking to myself "yeah I'll probably do whatever crazy, super dangerous idea they have, that's about all I'll probably do in order to help synthesize a cure or maybe at least understand what the hell is going on in our city and our home who are this is only happening to us". I figured this would be the best thing to do because there's a goddamn wall built around the city I walked all the way around the city and saw walls on all sides. Walled from the New Jersey to Brooklyn, I saw it in the distance and I was like what the hell is that it was the wall that blocked off all ways in and out of the city and the walls even went into the water blocking off I'm guess two or so miles off the coast of the city. This was to make sure we couldn't get out by boat and I bet they're on the other side of those walls are ships and anti-aircraft guns to see if we can somehow fly out of here on the plane or find an intact helicopter. If we also get to close to the walls themselves we might get shot on sight without any hesitation.

This is our world now. We live in a walled-off city trying to survive something that is undead, something that was once alive and should be gone but instead it's walking around killing. Yet we don't know why it's killing for. It may just be survival Instinct, it may just being hurting, or it could be something different. There's nothing that I don't understand about this. I guess I completely understand it but at the same time, I really don't. I'm just like these individuals here that are trying to understand if this is a chemical weapon or something in that nature itself created because we're killing her. We're killing our planet and this makes up for what we've done. Or this can be some type of chemical weapons test that the American government decided to use one of its cities has a test site. And call it type-0 or something in that matter. I just can't wrap my head around this butt in the end I know I'll have to know I won't have another night to myself I'm drinking a whole bottle of Jack Daniels wasting my night trying to forget. I know that from today on until the day I die, stop breathing and come back as one of those things I'm going to try to do everything in my power to help people even if I don't really like people. I mean I guess I need people to survive this and I guess they need me as well. Because in all honesty, I think if I hadn't met the boys or Sally and her son or Tabi the scared kid who is running for her life. I wouldn't have found a safe place to hide, to live to call my new home and then help them create a safe space a place that they can call home. That I too could call home until I left because of crippling anxiety I was feeling and the pressure I was given of being a leader, However, I'm here now tried to help these people I just met. I only know their names and what they studied and I don't know anything else about them but I'm willing to help. Help find a cure or help slow down the process and just to help understand what is going on in our city and our home and why we are trapped in hell instead of being saved from this. So whatever crazy idea they have no matter how dangerous it is I'll probably do it. No, I will do it. I will find a way to help people even if I die in the process. I guess that's why the brothers and everyone else decided to make me the leader of The School. I think it's because deep down I care even though I don't show it. Even if I don't show it all at I still care about this weird group I helped build.

Then Iris spoke up after my internal rent with myself. We need you to go out and get us two samples from both of the undead that you told us about and the takers. I looked at her like she lost her damn mind. There was no way in hell that I was going to get a sample not just one but two samples from those without getting bit or dying. What type of thing did I get myself into? I know I just gave myself a pep talk about doing this about caring about doing what is right however I need to draw the line somewhere and I think I'm going to drive there but at the same time she look like she wasn't going to take no for an answer and I was not going to fight this very petite barely five foot pale colorful hair girl. These people are crazy and I'm crazy enough to help them out. Okay what do I need to do and what will you give me to help me get these samples. Then Tony said in her Spanish accent uni to get a sample of them when they're not good for you cannot kill the undead will give you samples if you need them to be well alive so to speak in order to get them. I looked at her and I just thought to myself dear God I'm going to die even though I don't believe in God. This was just going to be my lucky day maybe my lucky few days because I'm going to do something completely stupid Reckless dangerous and I may just die. However, I am doing this for the greater good we're going to solve this problem together and buy it together I need to get myself killed while helping these guys. I also need to give you guys a walkie-talkie in order to communicate with them so I had to fix that I had with me. I told him that the call sign was just the name and that you put it on channel 2 and everyone who has a walkie talkie on this channel will be able to hear our conversations and talk to us. I also told them to contact the school and tell him that there is so why would you need to tell him where they are and that if you need anything just call them I had a feeling that they weren't going to leave the science building on the campus because of all the equipment that was here and it was still running but I just wanted to know that they weren't alone.

Also, I needed to contact Jimmy and his two brothers and Claire. I know they'd be pissed at me for not talking to them and not telling them how I felt but it's something I'm not good at. I was never really good at expressing my emotions or showing how I feel even if I did show interest in someone as to being a friend or more than a friend. But there was only one person who really ever got that understood me enough don't really know. Even though I didn't show it enough or say it enough they always knew that my feelings were true. I may not act on my feelings or show it but I would be there when they needed me and I did tell her how I felt. She knew that it came from my heart. I wondered how they're doing it's been three years since we last spoke. I just hope that she wasn't in the city when it all went down, when this all started, that's all I ask for. And if she was and if she turned I know I'd be the one to take her down and if she hadn't and she's surviving I'd help her even if she did break my heart. But it wasn't the time to be thinking about the past it was about thinking about today, about the plan that I've just been told. This was a suicide mission it was crazy and dangerous but I know out of all the people in this room I knew I was the only one capable of doing this. I survived on my own until I decided to go be with the boys. I started this alone and maybe I might end this alone but who knows. I just know that I need to get this done and get them their samples so we can understand what this thing is and where it came from and how it was made if it was a chemical weapon or not. So after Tony gave me the things I needed and explain to me the procedure of extracting plasma or any type of substance they had I would bring it back to them safe and sound.
