"You little shrimp..... How long have you been there" Danny

"Not much, I was just waiting for you to see me" Alex

Danny was already in disbelief but he stayed calmed as always. He casually patted Alex head, he's used to do it when Alex do something that interrupted him or made fun of him. Some kind of like warning for next time. There was again a silence between them as Danny continued with his last steps. Even though Alex was there he stayed focus on finishing the last pistol until something on corner caught his attention. On the left side of table was one red apple. He looked aside but Alex wasn't there anymore. Danny then realized that he put it there for him and got lost in seconds. The total amount of pistols he had fixed for this afternoon was three, and with fished job he picked apple and eat it.

Meanwhile Vanessa, Owen and Alex put their bags back in car. Their next plan was to go to a place on the hill of Medeta. It was also an abandoned shelter where the lights were constantly turned on at outside, which was of great benefit to them. Before they were supposed to leave when Danny arrived, Alex and Owen decided to enter another building. Just in case they found something useful at the first floor. Vanessa was already in car at the back sit while Danny was siting at drivers place. The dark was slowly coming which wasn't a good sign since Alex and Owen didn't arrived yet. A tension and  quietness could be felt in atmosphere, this wasn't a good idea.

"Next time zombie attacks me let me die. I don't want to be saved by a rat like you" Vanessa

There was no answer from Danny, he did not let a slightly breath out.

"Pathetic of you of course" Vanessa

"Look, hate me as much as you want. I deserve it. But as long as we are in this shit don't act childish, don't do it for me but for your best friend. After this you can kill me I won't mind, just don't make it difficult for someone else now" Danny

"Like you even care" Vanessa

"I do, hate me as much as you want. It won't change it" Danny

"Then why did you say such awful shit about the-" Vanessa was progressively yelling at Danny but was stopped by the noise coming from the building as well as the unexpected sound of a bullet.

"The fuck" Vanessa

"SHIT" Danny realized within a minute what is going on, he grabbed a gun from back seat and went out, smashing the car door. At that moment more gun shoots could be heard. Both Owen and Alex ran out of the building and immediately turned towards the passage where they came from.

"Be prepare to shoot there are a lot of them!" Owen

"Is car locked?!" Alex

Danny couldn't respond in seconds because he was already shooting at 2 zombies that were heading towards him. As well as Owen who was fighting with his bare hands manged to chop it head of with a knife. Alex was shooting manually at the zombies that were coming from building. Danny shoot in front and Alex at back, just as they could see better. Alex can't focus things that are close to him and Danny can't see well at a distance, this way it's balanced. Alex saw Vanessa looking from car, as he made an eye contact with her he knew what was about to happen. He run towards Danny and grabbed the keys from his hand. At the moment Vanessa opened the back door to get out, Alex smashed it with his leg. Within a minute a beep could be heard, he locked the car or better said he locked Vanessa in car.

"LET ME OUT, ALEX" Vanessa

She was screaming from inside car, the tears alike pearls were coming of her eyes. She was looking at her friend fight for his life and now she is fully disable to help him. As she was hitting the glass of car trying to break it Alex just looked at her. He also knew that this may be the end and maybe last time he can see his best friend. At least he kept the promised and protected her, with his own life.

"ALEX" Danny

Alex turned around leaving his best friend and went back on his position. There were more and more coming from all sides. Owen and Danny were fighting with their all strength but it wasn't enough. Even with Alex's position it was hard too fight but they had to all of them has the same priority to survive. Again Alex turned around to Vanessa she was safe in car zombies didn't do anything. But now it was Vanessa who was screaming in the car because of the sight in front of her. Just when Alex turned around to make sure everything was okay with her, he got attacked. A zombie like the one that chased Vanessa knocked Alex to the ground in seconds. His rifle flew off the sidelines. If he screams, it's too late for Danny and Owen to react, maybe they'll put their lives at risk. He stayed silent as he pushed zombie with all his force. The shoot was heard. The gun shoot, one. Then another one followed by even more. It was so loud noise but in Alex head it was quite. He already said goodbye to world and drowned into his greatest fear, silence. However, he didn't feel the weight he was pushing away, everything stopped for him. The only thing in his mind was the sky, just like the one from spring break during high school. He was also in this position, laying on green grass instead on this gray concrete. But he wasn't alone back then, and now he felt like he is. Until he got woken up, by known voice yelling his name, from his derealization that started out of fear. Alex was back in reality. There wasn't no more blue sky and bright sun but the suns twin.

"Jesus Christ for fucking sake you fucker" Danny was on Alex's right side but then the sound of pulling the gun and small click was heard.

"Don't move"

 An unknown voice was heard right behind Danny. It was actually one military guy, all dressed up in an equipped suit. His gun was pointed on Danny. The gun shoots Alex heard were fired by the army. They showed up from north side and fired multiple bullets on zombies, saving three of them. But the army wasn't so friendly looking after they have killed all zombies in the area.

"STOP" After one guy spoke up the others took instructions and put their guns down. He was also fully cover in military suit. Heading towards them, Danny stood up. Was it to give a respect or to protect "half coma" Alex, only he knows. The commander of military was now in front of Danny, for one head shorter he didn't seemed like a danger to him.

"You haven't changed Harding" The commander took of his full black helmet. Reveling a well-known face to both of them.

"You " Danny

"Just your hair is shorter weirdo" The man who was now greeting Danny with a friendly hand shaking and hug, is Pablo. The guy who saved Owen and Danny from catastrophic event that happened in Viltar. Their old friend from High school, saved them for second time. Alex got up on his feet after the tension flew away, he remembered Pablo also. Danny saw him standing now next to him. Without hesitation he put his hand on Alex's shoulder making sure he won't fall.

" you okay now" Pablo

" yeah, thanks. Is Vanessa-" Alex

"She is with Owen near the car, they are okay. I had to make sure that it's you two, since this idiot cut his hair and become another person" Pablo

" Ha ha funny really, but you saved us at last second" Danny

"Yeah and now it's better to get going, a lot more will come for sure when it gets totally dark" Pablo showed them the way to military car. They separate them two by two so they will have space for rescue. And now they are being transferred to one military shelter where they can rest.
