The plane was in the air, leaving the cursed land of the undead. The men in the plane all laughed out their sorrows and settled down. I sat somewhere in the plane, looking at them and wondering how they managed to stay alive through their leader, Musa. A cranky Nigerian who didn't even wanted me to be on the plane, not to talk of not having me tied up. They had surrounded me and Erik, with Musa hoping to kill me because his mother was infected. Erik however put up some good words to Musa, and although Musa didn't wanted me alive, he listened to Erik(since both of them were friends) and didn't harm me. I didn't dwell on the anger that Musa had against me. I was thinking about my best friend, Blue, who wasn't looking pleased when he realised that I was the one responsible for the outbreak and also for Mary's death. I couldn't help myself thinking why I'm I the only one to be blamed. After all, the project wasn't even my idea in the first place.
     A man suddenly came upon me. I looked at his face. A white man, not black. Finally, I could have a chat with my kind.
     " May I seat beside you?", The man asked.
     " Sure", I replied," I don't mind keeping company".
     He smiled and sat beside me," The name's Tom".
     He brought out his hand for a handshake. I gladly shaked his hand," Nice to meet you Tom".
     " So Mr. Zombie, what are you going to do about this plague?".
     " Ha ha very funny. They must have sent you to laugh at my face".
     " Don't get me wrong pal. I actually wanna help y'all if you need it".
     " Besides anything relating to that Nigerian tyrant?".
     " Oh trust me. You'll hear more than that".
     " Ok. I'm listening".
     " If you must know something, you'll have to hear it now. That horrible day when the plague hit Washington, I and the others had to face countless numbers of zombies that were dying for our necks. But the infection was worst there than the one you spread. They quickly mutated into something else. While I stuck those bitches in the head, I noticed a man who was bitten. To my amazement, he picked up his gun and shot better than a soldier would. The worst was a big one which refused to just die. By the time we were through with it, we were exhausted".
     " I know how it feels", I said.
     Tom nodded and continued," But they still kept on coming. We had to hide ourselves and pray that you or James would save us. But God used Musa instead. He killed the battalions, rescued us, and made us teach those bastards a lesson".
     " So that's why he became your leader".
     " You could say that again. But he was mainly looking for all the professors present in that project. Amongst them, we didn't find you, James, and four other scientists. The others were either found dead or undead".
     " We found my father, but we had to kill him. A big stubborn metal zombie indeed".
     " Ohh, I see. Must have been hard".
     " It really was".
     " Well, we didn't know what happened to the other four, especially the one who was the youngest among all the scientists".
     " The youngest?".
     " Yes. He was a selfish brat who always believed that he was suppose to be ruling over everything. But surprisingly, he had a very bad childhood. His mother abandoned him when he was one year old and he experienced a bloody war at seven".
     " Poor kid. What about his father?".
     " His mother divorced his father before he was born. The woman didn't know she was pregnant until after the divorce".
     " Family issues", I said," Reminds me of my family. Anyway, What was his name?".
     Just then a soldier came and said to Tom," Tom, Musa wants to see you".
     Tom stood up and said to me," Duty calls, and Musa is a person who hates late response. You better settle your dispute with Blue. In this war, enemies have to put aside any petty grievances if they both want to live. And friends must forever be friends, cause no one is meant to be your enemy".
     I thought about the wise words he said and keen into them. As he left, I stood up and went to meet Blue, who sat somewhere reading a large yellow Good News Bible.
     " Hey Joe", Blue said as he saw me," Do you want to sit beside me?".
     " Um yes?", I replied, rather confused at his question.
     As I sat beside him, Blue said," I know I'm suppose to be angry, but I've come to realise that an angry person isn't human at all. This Bible just reminded me that if I can't forgive your mistakes, then God himself won't forgive me. So lets save the apologies for now. I don't want you to be upset, I want you to be happy Joe", he ended by patting me at the back.
     I didn't know where to start," Wow Blue. I don't know what to say".
     " Say nothing. I'm sorry for being angry. Lets be happy and face our creatures together".
     I smiled at his words and hugged him. In my mind, I thanked Tom for his words also, as wise words were real food for thoughts.
     But at that moment, the pilot suddenly moved the plane to its left in order to avoid being hit by an incoming missile sent by a military jet 10 metres away from us.
