Page rushes through the hull door onto the front deck to see Larry and Zack on the docks, being dragged towards the town by unknown culprits. Page aims her gun to try and take a shot. Jacob comes out, looking around and notices someone on the other boat. He quickly hurries over to Page, lowering her gun.

He holds up a finger, telling her to keep quiet before he points towards the other boat. She turns to see the person standing on the upper deck, overlooking the docks. Jacob pulls out his knife and signals for her to follow. Crouching down, the two quietly make their way off the boat and onto the other one, the rain cloaking the sounds of their footsteps.

The two make their way up and stop at the top of the stairs. Jacob peeks over the side of the railing to get a look at the person. Something grabs Page, covering her mouth so she can't scream and drags her down the stairs. Jacob sees the person on the upper docks is wearing similar clothing to theirs, both hands are resting at their side, a gun in one hand. A radio is on their belt.

He turns back to Page to see she's not their. He hears the sound of a door closing. He quickly gets up, rushing down the stairs, alerting the person upstairs of his presence as he tries to open the hull door. Something on the other side is trying to keep it shut. As he hears footsteps rushing for the stairs, Jacob pulls at the door with all his might, nearly losing his balance when the door swings open.

Pulling up his gun he sees Zane in the doorway, his eyes wide open and bloodshot like a lunatic. Looking past him he sees Page being held down in a chair by Jayce, another person, in raggidy and blood stained clothing, has something squirming in their hand. Jacob pulls up his gun and fires before Zane can do anything, just managing to hit the person, catching their attention.

Before Jacob can take anymore shots Zane grabs him by the shoulders, screaming and trying to bite Jacob in the neck. Jacob just barely manages to grabs Zane's throat, his chomping teeth inches from his own neck. Pulling his gun up to the side of Zane's head he shoots, the body immediately going limp and falling to the floor. Just in the nick of time Jacob sees someone coming down the stairs, pulling up their gun and pointing it at him.

He rushes inside as a bullet shoots where he was moments before, slamming the door shut behind him. The person in raggidy clothing brings up the squirming thing as they force open Jayce's mouth. Jacob rushes the man, tackling them in the side and forcing them to the floor, the squirming thing landing a safe distance away from Page. Jacob struggles to keep the person on the ground as they're much stronger than they appear, clearly stronger than Zane. Jayce let's go of Page to help take care of Jacob.

She quickly gets up, pulling out her taser and thrusting it into Jayce's side, causing his body to twitch with electricity before he stumbles a couple steps away from her.


"Sorry!" She calls out to him before helping Jacob with the man, who now has his hands around Jacob's throat. Just barely managing to pry the man's arms off of Jacob, who takes no time bringing up his gun. With another shot the man goes limp. There's no break though when Jayce pulls Page away from Jacob, causing her to fall onto her back. He goes to put the squirming thing into her mouth but Jacob quickly gets up.

Moving behind them, Jacob puts his arms around Jayce's waist, using all his strength to pick him up off of Page. He tightens his grip around Jayce's waist as the man flails about, screaming in a way that sounds very inhuman. A bullet shoots Jacob in the arm, causing him to let go off Jayce who falls to the floor. Page and Jacob look at the hull entrance to see a partly disfigured Terry, his eyes all bloodshot and his neck broken.

His gun is pointed at Jacob. Before he can fire again, Page shoots him in the arm, causing him to drop the gun. She's suddenly pulled by the legs as Jayce grabs her once more, this time trying to bite her.

"Fuck, off!" Jacob shouts in rage as he kicks Jayce, knocking him to the floor. Very shaken, Page looks back to Terry to see where he's at. Stumbling towards them with a crazed look, screaming as loud as he can. Page takes aim at his head, but doesn't pull the trigger. The distance between closes quickly as he gets within only a few steps of reaching them before she finally shoots, causing him to fall down to the floor, his face inches from her.

She quickly gets up while Jacob double taps Jayce in the head.

"How the hell did this happened? I thought people like Terry were use to this shit," Jacob says as they stare at their bodies. Terry's head starts to move as he starts screaming once more.

"Die!" Jacob exclaims as he stomps him in the head, the sound of the skull breaking being the last thing they hear after the screaming comes to an abrupt stop.

"T-They were all...normal a second ago...how did they all get infected this fast?" Page asks with a shaking breath, still processing everything that happened.

"I told you, they probably were baited somehow. Never heard of zombies being smart though," He says as he glances over at the person in raggidy clothing. Page jumps a bit as he shoots the corpse in the head.

"Would you please stop doing that?!" She cries, "You can't just use up all your ammo!"

"You saw how fast they were infected, I'm not taking any chances. Besides," He pulls out the magazine of his gun, "I still have three bullets left," He puts the magazine back in his gun and puts it the holster. He kneels down and starts scavenging Terry's body, finding an extra magazine, "He's not going to be needing this anymore," He says as he puts it in his bag.

He scavenges Jayce's body, getting the magazine from his gun, which is half full, and finding another one in his belt.

"Why are you so, calm about this?" Page asks in utter disbelief as Jacob walks over and gets the magazine from Terry's gun.

"You'd be surprised how well movies and games are at desensitizing a person," He replies as he shuts the door to stop the rain and cold from coming in, "Besides, I've never been the caring type. We also, don't have time to be having a mental breakdown since we have no idea how many more of those things are out there and what they did to the two men they dragged into the town. I would let you stay here while I try and figure things out, but, I doubt this is a safe room,"

Page just looks at him, unable to think of a response as a million questions fly through her mind. She looks down at Terry, the man who not too long ago she was sitting behind in a jeep travelling across the savanna. Now, she had just shot him in the head and watched Jacob break his skull with his boot.

This is not what I was expecting at all. This is a nightmare, how on earth can stuff like this exist?! … I guess he's right...I need to stop thinking about this for now and figure out what we need to do next.
