"Wait here." Marcus said as he decided not to fool around and to show her he didn't want any harm. He ran towards the alley. Just as he was about to take his last step before disappearing in the alley, an infected human appeared in the sight of River. Marcus pulled out a knife from his belt.

In a surprising voice, as he wondered why she asked him that question : "After the bombing, I wasn't sure i would find anyone here. So yeah I'm surprised to see you here." He watched Leanne as she tried to say something but only a soft moan could be heard. The two of them stopped their conversation immediately. River ran straight at her sister, kneeling before her trying to talk to her make her come back to her senses. Marcus just stood there behind River, and that was when they heard a sound coming from the alley next to the bar.

World Long Gone

He stoped moving right away and put his hands up again to show her he didn't want any harm. As River was there aiming her bow at him, Marcus saw something in her eyes he never thought he would see in that cute little girl. She got really strong in those past couples of years, Marcus saw that in her, he saw how determined to stay alive. A small smile appeared on Marcus's face and his hands dropped. "Wow River, you have grown up! I see that determination in your eyes, but I know too that you won't shoot me, so why don't you tell me what you are doing here?" As marcus just stood there with his arms now crossed.

Marcus was still trying to adjust his eyes with the lighting since it was so sunny outside, and saw two silhouettes of girls. "I know that voice!" He paused there for a second trying to figure out who's that voice, he thought he knew. "Who is it?" he said softly. "I don't want any harm." Marcus passed his hands over his eyes and when the silhouettes got clearer, he recognized the two girls immediately. "River!"

With his military training he disarmed her quickly and safely when she pulled the knife on him. He slapped her hand and caused her to let go of the knife, making it go about 10 feet further onto the floor. Marcus put his hands up to show her he didn't want them any harm. He took a step back and pulled a chair from a table close to them on the terrace.

"Is that really Leanne?" He asked looking at her for the first time more closely. "Here sit her on the chair, i'll go check for some water." he slowly went inside behind the bar and shook some empty bottles around to find a clean one.

World Long Gone

It was a brand new day for Marcus and a chance for a new start. It was the first day out of the army for him. The war was destroying cities and entire countries.

Getting out of his cat, right after entering his childhood town, he discovered a devastating view. The bombs had already gone off there.

We should give the contaminated ones an handicap or something to help us survive. Something like the chemicals in the bodies of the infected make their eyes burst or something so they become blind but gain maybe hearing.
