Her eyes... they looked like they were going to swallow you whole. they were the color of a purple sunset. I hobbled closer. Her eyes grew wider with every step I took, tears leaked from those lilac orbs. Oh, how i wanted to watch them forever. Her long sunflower yellow hair fell in front of her face her small arms frantically pushed it out of sight. I moved closer she started to sob. I reached out to touch her to feel her skin to make sure she was real.

A wet gurgling sound filled the hall and my stomach felt full for the first time in years, the girl's eyes became calm and relaxed as the warm blood gushing from the hole in my stomach erasing the grey color from my skin her eyes widened again "zombies don't bleed right." the blade receded through my stomach causing me to fall to the ground my hand reached for my collar where a transmitter made a soft beeping. Electricity fired through my limbs I reared my head back and screamed, I screamed without breath it still echoed through the dead city when it faded into deluded laughter.

My team was there in minutes all genetically modified renegades, Toki appeared first he waltzed across the floor to where I was laying kicked me then extended his hand. "Gotcha bad this time huh." I snickered "yeah, right through." i flaunted the gaping hole in my midsection I waved my hand "don't hold the twins from their prize." the blond girl and her companion stood there frazzled as I walked by leaning on Toki's shoulder for support. The last two to arrive on the scene were a set of identical twins both 6 years old and with a strong attachment to me.

It took them seconds to take down the teen boy with the scythe. the little girl was scared once again "MAX!" she cried "shut her up!" I hissed Toki pointed at the girl and both twins turned and lunged once they were unconscious, bound and the hole was healed enough for me to move without the chance of me bleeding to death we started working our way back to one of the last standing buildings, well barely standing building our home was an office building with the first four stories blown out.

 We ransacked any homes that looked safe to enter. While me and Toki raced across rooftops tossing the teen boy between us while the twins compared their short black hair to the girls long blond locks. Once we made it to the building we started to climb the extensive fire escape the boy chipped in "why not take the elevator it would be quicker." He pulled a smug face "you seem to fancy getting eaten today." I said over my shoulder his face flashed multiple expressions it stopped when we jumped over a large hole in the stairs. 

The group of us made it to the top 8 floors of the building the only way for us to get in was a hole in the glass, it was too small for us to fit in at once with our extra cargo I handed the boy off to Toki and threw the very few sacks of supplies into the hole, the boy piped up "how are you going to fit us in?" Toki stuffed a scrap of fabric in his mouth "like this." he handed him back to me and I held him like people would have a javelin and sent him flying through the window. we were more gentle with the little girl but still the same concept.

When we passed through standing there was Lauren, my boss holding the boy by the back of the shirt a foot and a half off the ground. "----------!"
