章節 5: A Fling
First thing Diana did when she got inside the cabin was check for the weapons and ammo. They were hidden inside a bedroom. The cabin had four of them with a bathroom for each together with a living room.
"This is good news for us," she sighed in relief seeing the weapons in place. There was also a satellite radio which she picked and turned to a frequency only she and her friend knew.
"Keen, are you there? Please report," she called out. The only reply was static. "Keen, please respond. Are you there?" Tony entered at this moment.
"Who are you calling?" he asked sourly. He was still angry at her for deciding to leave their father.
"Kate, my friend... girlfriend," she answered, a little hesitantly at the last part. "I am hoping she will have pulled through this."
"Y...You have a girlfriend?" Tony asked, flabbergasted. Diana just rolled her eyes and continued trying to communicate with her.
"Keen, if you can hear me, me and my family are at the cabin. Make it there if you can in one day or I will come looking for you," she said before putting the radio down. She went to the living room where Tony and Rose were conversing. She noticed they had bolted down the door and barred it for extra caution.
"Good job at securing the door," she told them before sitting down.
"What's the plan now?" Rose asked her.
"We have enough ammo to defend and possible retreat safely. We'll stay here for a while, possibly three days. By then, everything will have calmed down and possibly the horde at the hospital will have dispersed. We'll use that moment to sneak in and look for dad," she answered.
"By then he'll already be dead!" Tony growled at her. She sighed at the show of hostility from both of them, honestly quite tired of it at the moment.
"Look, you wanna fucking die, retard, go ahead and do it. I'm gonna give you both a bulletproof vest, assault rifles, twenty mags each and you can go and try to save dad in a hospital full of the undead, possibly in the thousands!" she growled at them. The two of them were taken back by her shout, shrinking back. She saw this, making her dial back of her own hostility. Sighing once again, she leaned back on her chair.
"We all just need to rest. Tomorrow, we can decide whether we can go and look for dad or not. Just be prepared to possibly die and come back as those things! If you can live with that then we can go ahead," she told them, softly. The two were quiet at her declaration making her scoff in the inside.
...
The night passed with nothing bothering them and Diana was quite glad for that. They needed rest after the proceedings of the previous day. She got out of her room with the AK 103 still slung round her neck and the desert eagle on her hip. She saw Rose boiling coffee and some bacon was already prepared on the kitchen table. Rose was a total stay home mom meaning she could not stay home while in the house; she had to do some work in the house to keep herself busy.
"How was your night?" Diana asked her.
"Full of nightmares," Rose answered before she looked at her. "Do you truly think your father's dead?"
"This isn't a movie, mom, so yes, there is a very high percent chance Dad is dead and among the undead," she answered, munching on her bacon. Suddenly, the door was banged on, making Diana quickly aim her gun towards it.
"D, it's me, open up!" a girl's voice said. Diana immediately recognized it and ran to it, opened up at once. In front of her was a red haired girl with an ebony haired girl, both looking scared. Behind them were four zombies, running and snarling towards them. Diana immediately walked past the two girls and fired four times, each bullet drilling straight through the four zombie heads.
"Get in, now. Don't know how many are out there and they might have heard the shots," Diana told the two as she pushed them in and closed the door. She turned towards the dark haired girl and immediately hugged her, tightly.
"I thought of the worst when I didn't hear you respond," she said, rubbing her back. She then got off her and tried to kiss her but Keen pushed her away, making her frown. Quickly, Keen started speaking.
"Thanks for opening up, D, you saved mine and my girlfriend, Tina's lives," she said, making Diana become petrified for a second.
'Girlfriend? She said girlfriend in front of me! That means she was cheating with me on her, I'm just a fling for her!' she realized, making her think back to all the times they have been together and what it meant for herself and what it meant for Keen. She must have seen her hurting for she turned away from her and looked at Rose.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs Godfrey, your daughter has told me much about you," she greeted her, warmly. This brought Diana out of her thoughts, quickly shoveling them all to the back of her mind, no matter how painful they were.
"There's some bacon if you are both tired and some coffee too," Diana said as she sat down. The two of them quickly befall on the bacon like hungry predators.
"You haven't eaten much, have you?" Rose chuckled at the scene.
"We were at the road block outside the city when a horde of those things came. It was a slaughter," the red haired girl spoke up. Rose flinched as she looked at her daughter, remembering what Diana told them.
"How did you get out of the city?" Keen asked Diana.
"We used the other lane, practically sailed through the roadblock," Tony answered as he walked in. He looked at Keen with some hostility and Diana realized he must have been eavesdropping. He sat next to Diana aggressively and took a strip bacon, biting it down with a chomp. Keen looked at Diana only to look back when she saw those empty eyes looking back at her.
"You two will be safe in here. We'll be going out for a little while," Diana told her. Keen frowned when she heard this.
"You can't go," she said quickly before catching herself. "We heard the military might be bombing the city due to its high infection rate. You go near there and you might die."
"We also heard they might be picking survivors to a safe zone tomorrow in the middle of the cornfields. We received a transmission saying that any survivor should head there of they want to get to safety," Tina added. This was surprising and welcome news for the Godfreys.
"We need to get to the cornfields," Diana said before sighing deeply. "We also need to make sure dad is still alive. With the bombing of the city, the window of saving him just became smaller."
"What do we do?" Tony asked her. Diana went into a thinking pose.
"You and mom will follow Keen and her girlfriend to the cornfields. I am well trained and we'll equipped to make to the city and check on dad," she answered with finality.
"We cannot lose you and your father!" Rose tried to dissuade her.
"I can't leave the city knowing dad might still be alive. Don't worry, I'm gonna find you all and I might be accompanied by dad," she tried to comfort them.
