JUNE
I've never been part of an army before. I never even would've been able to enlist if the US military was still a thing. Picketfence has too big of a problem with women. He thinks they should stay home and cook and clean and have babies. I must be his worst nightmare, as a gun-wielding lesbian...mostly lesbian...I'm sure if Jared was still here I'd put my boob-filled fantasies aside for a few minutes and tend to him.
But he's gone. All I have of him is a dirty old shovel. A shovel and a poodle to keep my heart beating. I'm peculiar. But now I have twice as many reasons to fight the power, not to mention the zombies killed a child I cared about right before my eyes.
Princess gathered a few of us to be in her army last night. Me, Olive(somehow...), and Yuri, then some other interesting characters that had gotten to camp before us - Vik, this unfortunately hairy art model who Princess thought to arm with grenades, and Shane, some foreign spy sent from Spain to probably assassinate the president. Princess and the five of us are heading up to North Dakota with a few tanks and Jeeps of less-cool Specter U survivors who can help us fight trailing behind.
I get to drive the lead tank. That's right, me. Princess told me that our only other driver, Shane, had road rage. That was fine! He could get snug right next to Vik and Olive, then he can find out just how fun it is to sit next to whack jobs in the zombie apocalypse.
Princess has just given me the orders. We ride at sunrise.
VIK
Vik -supposes- he looks good in a bullet vest and cargo pants. The steel-toed combat boots are not a bad addition either. As much as he hates to say it, Vik pulls off military fashion quite well. The sleeves are a bit much but Vik can deal with heat when it comes to saving the country.
Vik gets to sit in a tank with three gorgeous ladies and one gorgeous man for the mission. The mission is to go to another state- very cold in comparison to Georgia, and ambush the President's posse in order to get to the President himself. Vik feels very proud to get to be the first out of the tank when the group arrives. Princess chose Vik specifically due to his element of surprise. Vik knows she's just surprised at what she knows Vik can offer while he is not fully clothed. She just disguises her true thoughts because she's shy. She chose to sit next to Vik after all, in the tank. Right up in Vik's grill, where she knows she belongs.
The woman opposite of her is in as much uniform as Vik, as well as her friend. We should all be less-dressed, then we could film a totally lame American porno right here in the tank! (Russia does it better).
The tank has been rolling for a week now and with every passing day, the ladies - and the other man, who is also a foreigner, grow more sexy. Vik has quietly slipped off a different item of clothing with each pitstop and break to fight off the zombies. Nobody has noticed, that or they like it. At the final stop, Vik was in nothing but his trusikis. Everybody was staring in shock(and delight) except for Princess, who was pleased. She told Vik to get out and head toward the nearest building. Vik was promised a reward of sorts if he did what he was told. So he did.
A man was standing guard at the door. "Good God man, you're naked!!"
SHANE
After the overly fluffy exhibitionist idiota went out in nothing but his dang chonis to distract the man guarding the shack that was supposedly Picket's safehouse, Princess ordered me to get out and follow him. The guard was right about to offer Vik some clothes, door open and everything, when I snuck up behind him and beat him upside the head with my wooden bat. I then beat down the security camera above the door. Can't have big brother spying on me. I'm the spy after all.
I shoved Vik's clothes that he had left under his seat into his arms and told him to get dressed. June, Olive, and Yuri all exited the tank, bearing weapons and decorated in military uniforms. It was a magnificent sight.
I let June in first, since she had been driving for so long and could probably deal with shooting some fools. She shot down two armed lady guards. The other three all scouted the area, which seemed empty. Just a few thin walls and a dirt floor. June shot through each wall and the bullets went right through so we could see the foliage outside.
There wouldn't be guards if it was an empty shack. Yuri threw his bag of assault rifles on the ground and went to head back to the tank, but he didn't realize that the 'ground' made an echoing sound. I moved over the bag and studied the dirt floor with my hands, until I found a crease. I pulled it open.
June, Olive and Vik all entered through the trapdoor and I followed. Firearms before the limited range spy even though he knows more about combat than all of them combined.
I was sure Princess and Yuri would follow shortly.
PRINCESS
They're all going in before me, not because I trust that they are the best the United States has to offer, but because if anybody has to make a clean path to Picket and dies in the process, it ain't gonna be me.
Yuri, the boy scout, came back, but I had to send him in after the others, because he is sick and I generally am sending him in to die with them instead of with me. It's an evil mastermind's plan, but it takes this kind of idea to completely take Picket by surprise.
Once Yuri had caught up with the other two, I followed their trail. Vik, the first line of defense, a.k.a. bait, had a walkie and a tracker on him, which thank god our Spanish guy placed for me.
They were three floors down in a secret government bunker. Picket wasn't smart enough for me, though. Laser secured halls? I know how to dislocate enough limbs to get past anything of the sort. Besides the Russian, I am the only one with a bulletproof vest, so guards had nothing on me. The only thing that gave Picket an advantage on us was a box at the end of the third-floor-down hallway. There was a print reader on the screen, which was glitched out, thanks to my team's failed efforts to get the door it was connected to open. There was burnt explosive tack and a ninja star between the box and the wall. On my left side there was an entrance to an elevator box. It had already gone up, so I assumed my team had used it to head up after knowing they could go no further.
A "ding" alerted me that it had begun its way back down. The cage doors opened at my level to reveal the nurse, the pretend police woman, and June, with all her long hair singed off.
