James Harris & Zachary Harris
James grabbed the shotgun from the floor and slowly started climbing down the stairs as he went to the living room and sat on an armchair. He had the look of a lost man on his face. Not long after that the sound of a bike stopping could be heard outside followed by a couple of hard knocks on the door. James rises up, goes to the door and opens it up as Zach bursts through and locks the door as James went back to his seat.
"Dude are you okay? Where's dad?" He asked as he put his hands on his hips. James took a look at him.
"Upstairs, on the floor, dead!" He said.
"Oh man! he became one of those things didn't he?" Asked Zach as he put his left hand on his head.
"Yeah!" Responded James without looking at his cousin.
"Well look on the bright side..." Said Zach as he sat next to James.
"You had no other option. It was either you or him, and besides...you did him a favor anyway. So, what the hell do we do now!" Said Zach while looking at James and gesturing with his hands.
"I don't know! The best thing to do is to try and leave the city. We would be much safer outside of it." Said James while looking at his cousin.
"But where would we go." Asked Zach.
"I don't know. We'll settle that once we get out of the city." Said James as both he and Zach rised up from their seats.
"Thank God we live in the suburbs." Added Zach while the two men were climbing the stairs.
James and Zach both went to their rooms, took their backpacks and started putting some clothes inside. James also took a duffle bag and loaded it with his entire music collection consisting of various albums from different rock and metal musicians like Disturbed, Alice in Chains, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, KISS, AC/DC, Nightwish, Metallica and the entire Black Label Society discography. It was a lot of CD's but James couldn't bear leaving them all behind, he spent too much money and effort in getting them while he could've just downloaded them from the internet. He also took a flashlight and some spare batteries just in case they might need some light in the dark. James also took his kukri knife made by Cold Steel as he attached the sheath to the belt of his jeans.
James and Zach came out of their rooms.
"Listen, we really should get some weapons." Said Zach.
"You've read my mind!" Responded James as they both entered Dave's bedroom. James went to the closet, opened the door and pulled out his uncle's bowie knife.
"Here, this was uncle Dave's KA-BAR bowie. You take it, I already have my kukri." He said while throwing it to Zach who pulled the knife out the sheath and looked at it satisfied.
"Now that's what i'm talking about." He said satisfied while looking at the large knife and putting it back in it's sheath and strapping it to his belt.
"Here, you can take his Glock too, I don't like plastic guns anyway." Said James giving Zach the gun, the holster for it and the two spare magazines, taking his uncle's old Beretta 92FS for himself along with all of the spare mags for it, which went straight in a separate pocket of his backpack.
James took the
shoulder holster for the Beretta and put it on himself, sliding the gun inside afterwards.
"Now I already claimed my uncle's shotgun for himself so you take his rifle instead." Said James as he gave Zach his uncle's Savage Axis XP rifle and a box of ammunition for it. James also took his uncle's entire loadout of .12 gauge shougun shells, which consisted of a 55 round bandolier and two 25 round Condor mag pouches. These went in the duffle bag along with his CD's. Once they were done arming themselves up, the two men went downstairs as James went to the kitchen and took whatever food was long lasting and non-perishable, which wasn't much but will have to do for the moment as Zach filled the water canteen with water. Once they were done they darted out of the house and loading everything into James's Chevelle SS.
James starts the car, and revvs it a couple of times. This attracted the attention of the nearby undead who started heading in the car's direction. James starts driving but only makes a few steps and hits the brakes.
"The map, we forgot the map, go get it, it's in the garage." Said James motioning to his cousin. Zach gets out of the car and started running to the garage, grabbing the map, which luckily was in an accessible place and running back to the car.
"I GOT THE MAP, GO, GO, GO, MOVE!" Shouted Zach as James hit the gas pedal with the car leaving in a screech of tires, also running over an undead.
