The four ventured out into the city ready for anything. The group split found the horde trying to get in the restaurant. 

"Holy shit, now that's a fucking zombie." Alex said.

"You two go. Dan and I will distract them just give us the signal through the radios. I can call you Dan, right?" Carlito asks Danny. Danny nods and the two start towards the restaurant. 

"So, Bent and Alex. They a thing?" Carlito asks Danny.

"Hah! I wish, they've liked each other for years." Danny tells Carlito.

"But they're not together?" 

"Sadly." Danny replies.

They stand and wait for Alex and Bent to tell them when to go.

"Uh, Carlito?" Alex's voice says through Carlito's radio.

"Yeah, I copy."

"Start running in two. The signal there is pretty fucked up. over."

"Roger that."

Carlito looks at Danny and he get's the gist. Danny whistles and gets the attention of a couple crawlers but they turn away quickly and put they're attention back to the restaurant. Carlito then takes out a small revolver and shoots the sky. All the crawlers look their way and start towards them. 

 Carlito looks at Danny, "Whistling, heh, amateur." 

Danny rolls his eyes and starts counting down.

"Three, two, one. Start running!"

The two take off down the hill following the map to the East stop.

"Slow down, they're limping. If we're too fast, they'll lose us and the restaurant will be their main priority." Carlito orders

"Aye aye, capt'n." 

The two slow down and make sure the horde is following them.

"Turn right!" Carlito yells.

They turn the corner but weren't expecting a small horde. They look to each other in surprise and turn the other way only to be met with the original horde they were running from. 

"Shit what now?" Carlito asks.

"Up." Danny points to the ladder leading to the roof. 

They climb up the ladder and kick it down once they get to the top. 

"I only have enough ammo for six crawlers. You?" Carlito asks

"I don't even have a fucking gun." Danny replies.

"Well great."  Carlito sighs.

the two sit on the edge of the building thinking of a solution. At least, Danny is. Carlito, not so much. The building across the street was where his older brother took him when they found out about outbreak. 

...

"Run!" Carlito's older brother, Mateo, yelled. Carlito ran to catch up to his brother. They bust in through the back door and barricade the entrance.

"Hide in the bathroom and use this, uh, just in case." Mateo orders as he gives Carlito a single-action revolver and a small box of bullets. 

"Just try to remember what Dad taught you. Keep a steady aim and be careful." Mateo holds Carlito's shoulders and looks into his eyes, "Stay quiet and only use it when necessary, the thing's pretty loud and will only attract more." He pauses and hugs him. "Be careful out there. I might not see you for a long time."

"Mateo, Be careful yourself." He sniffed and ran into the bathroom. He heard screams and gunfire outside. His brother was all he had, his two older sisters were in college at the time and his parents were on vacation. He has no idea if they're alive or not. Most likely the latter. After a few minutes of silence he went outside with his revolver ready for fire. All he sees are dead bodies. He runs out hoping that his brother isn't one of them. 

Bag in hand, he survives on his own for days at a time until he comes across an Evac Center. Thinking he can try to get onto a train, he runs through the halls only to trip from the slippery floors as a piece of metal jams itself into his shin. 

He lied there trying to move himself to the side to avoid being trampled on. After about five minutes, he sees a familiar face. There, he met Samson.

...

"Hey, Alex and Bent got company." Danny tells Carlito.
They use Danny's binoculars to look at the refugees they brought from the restaurant. 

"Damn that one looks real nice." Danny says 

Carlito shoots him a glare and uses the radio.

"Guys we have a visual on you. Do you copy?" 

"Uh, yeah. Where are you two?" Bent's voice says

"You're not gonna believe us if we tell you."

"We're in the fucking apocalypse we'll believe anything."

"We're on the roof of some brick building east of Gerty's. There's a horde at the bottom. Over"

"We're coming, over."

They pack up and get ready for their 'rescue'. Carlito cocks his gun as Danny gets his machete out. Carlito finds a piece of cloth and starts waving it around. Danny looks at him like he's crazy but then rolls his eyes and radios the two.

"Have you found us? Carlito's running around with a purple cloth like a lunatic."

"Yeah, we found you alright. Uh, this is gonna take a while. That horde you attracted is pretty big."

"We'll join you down there. The ladder that we took, we kicked it down so the infected couldn't get up. Can you put it back up?"

"Yeah, you want a Chai Tea Latte with that?" Bent answered sarcastically.

"Just shut your trap and put it up." Danny yells.

Danny told Carlito to stop because Alex and Bent found them. Soon after they heard gunshots and blows. After a while, they heard a clank and voices. 

"Hey idiots, come down here!"

The two boys climbed down and joined their friends on the ground. 

"Shit, its a bloodbath here." Carlito exclaims.

"Water is wet." Alex sarcastically retorts.

The group started towards The Base through a shortcut in the woods.

"Boys, we got company. Ready your weapons." Alex says. a bunch of crawlers approach the small group. 

"Bent, take this. I gotta use my rifle for this one." Alex says as she tossed her handgun to Bent.

"But, I don't know how to shoot it!" He panicked.

Alex sighed and stabbed one of the crawlers behind her.

"Turn the safety off." Bent clicked the switch that turned the light on the gun red. "Firm grasp, aligned wrist, squeeze trigger slowly, be careful who you shoot."

"Backs to each other, never turn your back to the enemy!" Danny yells. They all circle together facing the horde, backs to each other.

"Man down!" Carlito yelled as on of the refugees got dragged away by the horde. Bent shoots the crawler that grabbed the guy but it was too late. 

"We gotta go, keep shooting until we get out." Alex orders.

They do as planned and sprinted towards the Base.

"Open up! We got refugees and crawlers on our trail!" Bent bangs on the door. Kate quickly opens the large metal door to let the nine survivors in.

"What the fuck happened to you guys?" Kate asked.

"We can explain, I swear." Carlito gasps.
