Be Ready

Jack was staring at the door of the room. His eyes open wide when he saw the attackers got inside the room and saw him. They are sniffing like going to eat him alive. They quickly move going to the window. Into him.

When Jack saw that he immediately moves his way down using the ladder. And before they could attack Jack, he was already on his mid of the ladder going down. The attackers went backwards when the sun rises right to them. Out of madness they were just growling and making some screeching noise up there in that room. Jack continue moving down. Trying to get hold of his riffle.

At the laboratory..

Austin was walking back and forth inside his room while he was touching his chin thinking. He was thinking about what he heard when his dad was talking to someone but it seems he can't see who he was talking to. It was the second time he accidentally hear his dad talking to someone.

"What was it command? D...Oh yeah! DL command!" Austin exclaimed and stop from walking.

"But who is DL command? And why is that I felt he was invisible?" Austin has his thought.

And he was very very confuse about DL command.

"But if I am checking the files dad gave to me. It seems to be somewhat related." He frowned trying to think deeper.

He was concentrating and yet he can't really guess what is it.

"Okay! That's it! I won't be thinking about this anymore. It's kinda make me crazy." He said and just stop thinking about it.

Austin was grown as a smart young boy, he was curious with everything it was like EVERYTHING. And yet got a lot of thought in his mind that he somewhat want an answer but definitely gone overthinking about it.

But he was also been taught by his parents that he shouldn't be interfering with adults affair. And that if he wants an answer he should always be directly ask it to his parents. He respect every words of his parents. If they say it is, it will always be their words counts rather than his words. To end it, he will always be an obedient son to them.

Jack continue to move down to that ladder. When he reach in the middle, he saw through the open windows of the first floor that there were lots of attackers (living-dead) in that floor. He was grateful he never went that way earlier.

He can see then sniffing and wandering around because it was getting dark at the first floor of the building. They saw him and yet they can't attack him because it was still bright outside.

Jack reaches the edge of the ladder and he jumped off to the ground. And take a stand and look inside the building before he move quickly into his car get inside, started the engine and drive away to that place.

Never does he know that there were still remaining survivors on that building and they have been locked up in one room he didn't went to. They were starving and dehydrated so hard to death.

They were the criminals.

While Jack was driving away, he was still panting but then he smiled because he came out alive with those close attack. He press on the button of his stereo inside the car in a lower volume just to calm himself. A favorite song of his son Austin were playing at that moment entitled Savage Love.

"Did somebody, did somebody break your heart", he tries to sing in a whispered way he could while moving his head and dance with the music.

There he got his calmness that he was looking for. He smile and even to that moment it didn't cross his mind about what is happening in the world. He was trying to defend himself that it was not his fault but a faulty product itself.

Until he reached home and realizes that it was just a dream to think that those doesn't happening right at that moment. And that happening was really caused by him because he created that thing.

The happiness that he felt turn into loneliness and emptiness inside of him. Because even his family can't avoid those circumstances. But he was there and he will make sure that he will always be there for his family.

The realization hits him and he step outside of his car after he parked it in their garage. He reached for his backpack at the backseat of the car and immediately went inside their house and went down into the lab.

He is trying to move carefully not to be able to notice by his son. He went to his room just right beside the room of Austin. But before he could step inside his room he could take a glance on the door of his son's room and he was relieved when he saw it was close. So he won't be able to see him and be ready with all the his questions he needed to be answer.

And Jack is not yet ready to explain

everything to his son. Not NOW but SOON.

He went to his hidden cabinet to put all hide all the weapons he got in the police station.

After that, he closed the door of that cabinet. When he close it he saw himself in the mirror that was attached to the cabinet door. He looks disgusting and filthy. He touch his face with bloods in it and then take a look unto his both hands that still has bloods in it.

Then decided to immediately go to the shower and take his bath.

After which, he put into a plastic bag all the clothes he used and decided to burn it when he has time. He just tie it and hid in a place where Austin won't be able to see it. He can't handle to answer anymore a lots of questions from him if he would find those clothes that was full of blood.

Jack was done cooking their dinner. He cook Austin's favorite fried chicken. He set their table and decided to fo and check him to his room. He walk his way there and knock.

'Tok! Tok! Tok!' the sound of the door knocking from the outside and then he opened it.

Austin on the other hand was trying to get done with the files his dad want him to finish. When he suddenly heard a noise on his door.

"Dad?" He just wanted to make sure its him.

He turned around and look to the door when no one answer him. He only saw a door that was slightly open. And the Jack peek unto the door.

"Dinner time." Jack said while smiling at him.

"You startle me dad. Why do you need to hide behind the door?" Austin said while he was widening his eyes on his father.

"Come one! Let's eat. I cooked your favorite." Jack smile and handing his hand to his son. And the Austin run unto Jack and they walk together to their kitchen.

While they are in the midst of their dinner. Austin was staring at Jack very vividly as if he wanted to ask something.
