Welcome to the CDC
Chapter 12 Welcome to the CDC
It was a chaotic night, it was more disastrous than what happened in the series, I guess the lack of weapons and ammunition was a big factor.
After Merle tortured me by sewing my arm I fell asleep. The next day I wake up and next to me is a sleeping Andrea, the wound doesn't hurt as much as it did last night, I stretch my arms a little feeling a little pain, but it's not something I can't bear.
It seems that my movements woke up Andrea. "Justin, are you okay? Let me help you is the least I can do." Andrea says getting up quickly and helping me to my feet. "Forgive me for shooting you Justin, it was an accident." Andrea says on the verge of tears.
"Don't worry Andrea, I know it was an accident and I forgive you." I say as I hug her a bit causing her to start crying as she hugs me. What crybabies they all are. "However, Andrea, my arm still hurts, so I'll need your help, okay?" I say faking pain wrinkling my face a little. Andrea's reaction did not take long to appear.
"Of course Justin, yesterday you saved us and I only hurt you, let me help you in any way I can, Amy will also be delighted." Andrea says quickly.
"Okay, let's go outside, I need some sun." I say as I stand up and walk out of the tent together with Andrea.
Going outside I see how the adults are burying the members of the group who died last night and setting the bodies of the walkers on fire.
Rick and Shane are arguing with a map on a table, we will most likely end up traveling to the CDC.
"Justinnnn." Carl runs to me and hugs me along with Sofia. "Yesterday you were great, I want you to teach me how to shoot." Carl throws his hands up in the air excitedly and Sofia just nods her head.
Lori appears behind them along with Carol, both of them giving me one of those motherly smiles that make me uncomfortable. "Carl told me what happened in the trailer Justin, I don't know how to thank you, if you need anything, just ask for anything." Lori says hugging me.
"My Sofia is alive thanks to you, you are an angel sent by the same heavens Justin." Carol says before hugging me too. Enough, enough of this, they make me uncomfortable with so many hugs.
"Nothing happens, it's what anyone would have done in my place." I say with a slightly forced smile.
"Justin you smell a bit bad." Carl says nonchalantly before his mom smacks him in the head a bit.
"Carl, don't be rude." Lori says giving me a smile. Come to think of it, my clothes are dirty and have a lot of walker blood stains on them.
"Huh, you're right, I'm a bit stinky, I should take a bath." I say scratching my head a bit. "Carl, can I borrow some more clothes?" I ask innocently and Carl just nods before going to get some clothes for me.
"Justin, I see you're better off, considering my sister shot you." Amy appears behind me, her face crinkling a little. "Yesterday you scared me, you know? For a moment I thought you were going to shoot Andrea." Amy says ruffling my hair.
To tell the truth, I was about to shoot Andrea and leave her as bait for the walkers and escape on my own towards the road. However, I have invested a lot of time in these people and plan to reap the benefits.
"It's good that you're here Amy, I need your help and that of your sister, you'll see right now I need a bath before the adults decide where we should go, and since I'm injured it's very difficult for me." I say with my best innocent face.
Andrea starts to cough. "Justin, I think you're a little old for that." Andrea refuses, however, Amy just stares at Andrea.
"Andrea, he is just a child." Amy gestures with her face at me when I make a dejected face.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." I repeated quickly with his head down. "If only my arm didn't hurt so much, well, I think I'll take that bath in a few more days when I don't feel so much pain." I say quietly, but loud enough for them to hear. Who wouldn't want to help cute little injured Justin?
Minutes later Amy washes my hair and Andrea washes my back as she just frowns. "Come on Andrea, say it." I say with a smile.
"I'm not going to say that, Justin." Andrea quickly comments.
"There… my poor arm hurts, it hurts a lot." I say dramatically as I cover my face. At this, Andrea just snorts in resignation.
"Ara-Ara~ Little Justin." Andrea says, causing a shiver to run through my body, then I start laughing out loud along with Amy.
"You're getting revenge for shooting yourself, right?" Andrea says crossing her arms.
"I can neither affirm nor deny that allegation." I say biting back a smile, as Andrea just snorts and continues to wash my back.
After my nice bath, the girls help me get dressed in my new set of clean clothes, shortly after, I am back at the camp where the survivors are gathered while arguing with each other.
"Where have you been?" Merle asks as he walks up to me. "I have to check your wound."
"Andrea and Amy were giving me a bath." I answer while I shrug like it's nothing. Merle bursts out laughing and slaps me hard on the back. Glenn, who was drinking water at the time, spit it out and Shane just raised an eyebrow at me with a knowing smile.
Merle quickly checks my wound. "It seems that everything is in order, too well I would say." Merle says with narrowed eyes. However, Merle just shrugs. "I'm not a doctor, I only know basic first aid." Our little conversation is interrupted when Carol appears in the middle of the group.
"Rick, my husband didn't have any bites, how could he be a walker." Carol asks as she hugs her daughter.
"No…I have no idea Carol, he must have been infected somehow." Says Rick, given this, I decided to scare them a bit.
"But I thought we were all infected?" I said tilting my head innocently as I put my finger to my mouth. At this, everyone fell silent as they looked at me.
"What do you mean?" Rick asks raising an eyebrow at me and he's not the only one.
"I thought you knew." I say pretending to be nervous, putting my fingers together. "Huh, this is a bit awkward."
"Justin, what is it that we don't know?" Rick says walking up to me. I motion for him to come closer and he kneels in front of me.
"We are all infected, when we die, we will come back as a walker, no matter if you get bitten or not." I whisper in Rick's ear. At this, Rick falls on his butt with his eyes wide open.
"Sorry, I thought you already knew, when I was in town in my previous group it was common knowledge." I say scratching my head as Rick stands up.
"Rick, what is it?" Lori asks with concern.
"Justin, you are forbidden to tell the children, everyone else come with me we have to talk, Carl, Sofia stay with Justin." Rick comments as the Adults walk away from us a bit while Rick gathers them up and tells them the truth.
"Tell us, Justin, tell us." Carl protests. To which, I shake my head and stick out my tongue at him.
"Ask your dad." I say chuckling as Carl just crosses his arms.
Shortly after the adults returned a little dejected by the news that Rick communicated to them, however, they begin to pack their things and store them in the vehicles. "Where we go?" I asked tilting my head.
"Friendly officer wants to go to the CDC, I say it sucks, but Daryl wants to try his luck at the CDC." Merle says sighing.
I give him a smile and a thumbs up. "What are we waiting for? Come on, it's going to be explosive, I have a feeling." I say with a giggle. Merle gives me a strange look before approaching me.
"The group concluded that Ed died due to a heart attack, since he had no bite marks on his body, in addition to the odor of alcohol he gave off, it did not cause as many questions." Merle says leaning close to my ear and whispering. At this, I just nod my head in contemplation.
"Daryl found this in the woods, I guess it belongs to you. Don't let the friendly officer or Shane see her." Merle says quickly handing me my gun. Then I put it in my backpack.
"Thank you, Merle, your concern for me is evident." I say with a shitty smile before Merle punches me in my injured arm.
"That hurts bastard." I say holding onto my arm as Merle just turns around and starts walking away giving me the middle finger. He is an asshole.
After packing all the necessary things we were all ready to leave, just like in the TV series Morales along with his family separate from our group, at this, I just shrug my shoulders as they say goodbye to everyone. Poor idiots.
We started heading towards the road, I decided to ride in the comfort of Dale's RV, the adults managed to put the door back and reinforce it a bit.
"Do you think there are other survivors at the CDC?" Amy asks her sister.
"Possibly, let's hope so...and that they're friendly." Andrea comments quietly.
"Don't worry girls, we'll all be fine." Dale says as he drives following the caravan of vehicles.
I just sat in the passenger seat and put my hand out the window, the wind against my hand is soothing.
At sunset we can get close enough to the city to see the view of the buildings, however, there are quite a few plumes of smoke coming from different parts of the city. It looks like Wesker has been enjoying himself.
"Why is there so much smoke coming out of the city?" Andrea asks worriedly.
"Possibly some fires that got out of control, don't worry, they are a long way from the CDC." Dale says reassuring the girls.
We made it to the outskirts of the CDC without interruption, the adults quickly picking off nearby walkers as we made our way to the main entrance. Above us is a camera which Rick finds himself yelling at.
"Damn, you brought us to a graveyard." Daryl growls.
"It's not Rick's fault, we can turn around and drive to Fort Benning." Shane interrupts.
"There is not enough fuel to get there." Glenn comments. The walkers begin to move toward us, as Rick continues to yell at the camera.
Why don't they open the door? They should have opened the door by now. At this, I approach the camera. Did my intervention cause Dr. Edwin Jenner to die before his time?
My approach to the camera causes it to start moving rapidly in my direction, for some reason now the camera is focused solely on me following my every move. This is not good.
Shortly after, the doors of the CDC begin to open and Dr. Edwin Jenner appears from them pointing a rifle at us. However, he is not alone. At Jenner's side are two US Army soldiers who don't take their eyes off me.

"For the hell..." One of the soldiers utters while watching me. Fuck, fuck, red flag.
"Welcome to the CDC." Jenner says with a forced smile on his face as he watches me.
Well, this got interesting. A smile spreads across my face as I watch the soldiers. It's time to play.
