If you are offended by any content of this chapter, please feel free to skip it. I'm sorry for any people who are squemish about the things in this chapter, but they do exist and they are a real problem in the world we live in.

Soon we all woke up, completely fine and still alive. We all decided that the stairs would take forever to reach the top of this 30 story hotel, so we settled on the elevator. When we reached the top, the view was amazing and one could almost forget about the blood crazed maniacs that are just below in the streets and around the world. I soon spotted the sign below that said in bold print AIRPORT 1M and we were overjoyed to hear a chopper in the distance. The thing about the elevators, is that they only worked well once and then something bad has to happen. This happened in the form of the cables nearly snapping and us all getting out before the thing plummeted 13 stories to the ground. Soon the fire alarms came on and everything went to shit.

The infected soon became enraged and started to attack everything that moved, including themselves and their fellow zombies. I reloaded my VP70 and Jackson took point with his rifle. We had to get through the flights of stairs _while they were on _ *FIRE * and taking down six or seven regular infected along with a few "Special cases". These are Infected that the poison had a positive effect on the host, this includes the "Body Builder" type Which is strong enough to lift a semi truck and throw it like a soccer ball, And the "Stalker" type that follows it's victims around and pretends to be dead or in some cases alive to a believable point, which we ran into in the subways.

We soon managed to escape one hell and land smack dab into another, coming into the golf courses that were filled with craters, empty boxes and undead with explosives strapped to them. "Who the hell would tape explosives to them? It's purely sadistic!" Jimmy cried and shifted in his place. "That's the point, whoever did this obviously get's a kick from inflicting pain unto others." I said coldly and hitting a zombies explosive collar, causing a chain reaction equal to that of a symphony of death. We cleared the field of zombies and walked not five steps before we heard something *click* followed by "Fuckin' shit...". We turned around to see Mags frozen in fear mid-step. "Everybody, don't move!" Jackson shouted from in front of me. Mags and I looked down at the pile of dirt and saw a piece of un moved earth nearby. "on the count of three, I want you to jump to the other pile and run as fast as you can to that white building over there. We all need to be careful and run as fast as we can without blowing our limbs off." I said over to everyone and we all got ready. "One...two...Three!" She yelled as she hurled herself left and rolled to a standing run, just as the mine went off. We all ran to the building and made it into the arc way, but unfortunately so were some other people and before I could react I was stabbed with a needle and I felt my body go numb as I fell asleep.

"wa...p" I heard a distant voice say "Wak...p" I heard the same voice say again but closer. "Wake the hell up!" I heard the voice and a boot to my side and woke up in a flash "What the? who are you? Where's Alexis?!" A Hispanic man in army camo came forward and took out a specialty claw knife, reserved only for serving members of the Anthro Ops division in the military. "You have no need to worry about them." He said, dragging the knife across my cheek, leaving a light cut along with it. "It is you who needs to be worried about." He gashed my face, a small amount of blood coming from it. "Take him away, and make sure he get's why he should be afraid." I realized that they had to untie me from the chair to get me out, so this was my one chance of escape. When my wrists and my ankles were free, I lunged forward and grabbed his knife. I stabbed it into his shoulder and tore out his neck with one fluid motion. I turned around and slashed the other two guards in the same way before they could pull their guns, and I took the liberty to use them against their own masters.

I went around the corner to grab the key's and take out the security alarm. "Who the hell are these guys?" I said moving down the hallway looking into several rooms. One proved a good pick and I found my gear with Jackson with Jimmy. "Where is she?" Jackson was distraught by the sheer amount of blood on my face and torso. "Sh-she got taken with mags to another part of the building, they were talking about special treatment." When I asked what they were talking about, I couldn't believe it "Those...sick fuckers!" I wouldn't let them get away with doing those things to them, not to Alexis and I hoped Jackson felt the same with Mags. I took out my two knives and pointed them at the two. "You follow me or I will leave you behind, understood?" They nodded and took out their knives. We went around the corner and saw an open door. Inside were Mags and Alexis...they were...doing things to them, things I hate to describe... I couldn't stop myself from just running in and killing those sick bastards! I took out both the pistols I found and started killing everything that wasn't the two girls, causing several of the raiders to either get a bullet in the head or several to the chest. Eventually the two guns went dry and I pulled my knives out, stabbing them into the only one I didn't shoot. I pinned him into the wall and left him hanging. I ran over to the girls and saw their hands and legs were tied to the wall. I untied the two and helped them to the floor. They must have been knocked unconcious, since they were out cold and breathing. I turned my attention to the man I stabbed into the wall. I jerked the knives out of his arms and let him hit the floor, breaking his nose from the impact "Why?" He groaned out as I stood above him "Why? i'll tell you why." I took him by his shirt and stuck my finger in his stab wound, causing him to nearly scream in pain, and looked him in the eye's "I can't stand to see people like you live in this world and do what you do to these women." I took the claw knife out and slashed his eye out and left him in a pool of blood minus my knives in his body. "You...just kill me..." he kept saying as we left that place, Jackson and I picked up the girls and walking down the freeway.

As we walked, Jackson kept giving me odd stares and finally I had to ask "What are you looking at?" I said, not trying to sound condescending or angry "It's just...you straight up murdered those people. Sure, they deserved it but you we're extremely brutal!" He looked shocked at what I could do and I explained why I did it.

"When I was a kid, I had a sister. Her name was Shannon and...well, we were as close as kids could get. People thought we were twins at times and we sure acted like it." Jackson chuckled and I went on "Well...one day when we were walking home from our high school...she was taken, taken right from the street by this old guy. Now, back then anthro's disappearing didn't even warrant a headline, let alone anyone to care. It was just a fact of life that parents of these kids had to deal with...I chased this guy, leaping over fences and running as far as I could after this guy. I lost him eventually and I kept looking until a few police officers found me asleep whimpering her name." Jackson asked why I was so upset about her being gone, since she could still be out there. I gave a dark chuckle and felt tears coming down my eyes as I went on "They found her the next day, stuffed in a plastic trash bag in an alley...she...she had been raped by this fucker and then killed...they brought her to our house and I couldn't believe what I was hearing...we gave her a nice funeral, the police department even made an official statement that they would find and stop him. But you know what happened?" Jackson gave me a nod for no and I finished "They used this whole thing to get more funding...that's all my sisters life and womanhood meant to them, just another thousand dollars for absolute jack shit...I joined the police to find people like this and bring them to justice before anymore people had to go through what I did when I was that age. Now in this time, I have to kill them to get rid of them all." Jackson patted my shoulder and we kept walking in silence. I spotted a motel and we made our way toward it.

We had made it into the motel and settled on a room on the bottom floor. I carried Alexis to the bed and put her down and Jackson did the same for Mags. "These girls went through hell today." Jackson replied as he took out his knife to wipe some dried blood off it. "Yeah..but that's the world we live in right? Having to deal with sick freaks like those guys. I know it was wrong but I just...they needed to die-" He cut me off "I understand completely and would have done the same for her Ben." I looked over at him and threw him a beer from a bag I stole "Thanks, you're alright for a regular." We both sat by the window talking like this for awhile till he called it quits and went to sleep, so I got out my camera and started recording again. "Oct 27, 2016, 0020. We were captured and brought to a prison cell for the raiders but we escaped. We did encounter some...disturbing events. If anyone with a doctors degree finds this, we are heading north by west, so look for the small group. This is the Ones left alive, signing off. "I closed the lid and looked at the moon until I fell asleep, remembering all the good times I had with Shannon and how I need to protect Alexis a lot better than what I've been doing.
