The Outbreak ☣ (open)

Could I join too?

Max headed for the interstate his parents worked at a car dealership right out side the city. When he was ridding down the interstate a huge fence with barbwire blocked off the whole road. "Get off the bike!" a solder screamed at him he put his bike against a car. " Take off your back pack." the solder ordered he notice the gas mask " Is this air born?"he asked." "Shut up!"the solder said. "Down on your knees." The solder walked up to him and aimed his pistol at his head. "What the he.. are we doing? " said a another "We cant kill a kid!" he said. "Shut up do you think I like killing people we have orders!" the solder said. He dropped the pistol "Get out of here."the solder screamed. He hoped on his bike and started to ride towards town. A sign he had not notice Was siting on top of a car. Warning Quarantine zone you will be shot after this point.

(Eric has long-ish light brown hair and hazel eyes. He's wearing jeans, black and white sneakers, a red t-shirt and a gray hoodie.)

Eric hastily pried off the metal cover from beneath the steering wheel of the '69 Pontiac. He made sure to glance up through the window every so often to make sure he wouldn't get caught. What Eric was doing wasn't actually legal, but this was a time of crisis. People were running around with guns and knives, trying to defend themselves from the mutant zombies anyway. Nobody would pay attention to some kid hot wiring an old car that the dealership was reselling.

Eric managed to get the metal cover off. He quickly located two wires and began touching them together lightly. The motor hummed and whined, but still didn't want to start. "Come on, come on..." Eric mumbled. He was losing previous time. All of a sudden, shouts from nearby caused Eric to freeze. It sounded like one of those jerk quarentine soldiers. Eric wondered who he was screaming to now. He cautiously looked up through the window just in time to see the soldier ride off on his motorcycle. Eric looked puzzled until he saw a kid about his age standing by the quarentine sign only a few cars away from him.

Max rode out for about a mile then turned off the road into the forest. He rode his bike to the back fence of the car dealership. He climbed the fence and jumped to the other side. He went around to the front and parked his bike by the front door It was locked. Then he notice that the Janitors car he was still cleaning he went over to the car. The windshield was covered in blood. The Janitor sat in the drivers seat a chunk of his face missing. He open the car door the Zombie lunged at him but the seat belt held him back. He swung his bat at the janitors head. Three swings and the janitor was dead. He took the keys off the belt and unlocked the door. He went inside and took out his flash light. Mr. Fredrick the owner charged at him he stabbed him in the eye. The rest of the dealer ship was empty.

Eric watched in shock as the boy swung the bat at the zombie in the car. Blood was everywhere. It wasn't something that Eric wanted to see, but he couldn't draw his eyes from the scene. The zombie was eventually dead- or, deader, at least. Eric didn't need to know for sure, and he didn't want to go over and find out.

After the janitor stopped moving, Eric noticed the boy take something from the janitor's belt and head to the dealership building's door. He unlocked it and disappeared inside. Eric scoffed. "Good luck getting yourself killed..." he mumbled to himself.

Eric crouched back under the steering wheel and eventually managed to successfully hotwire the car. He was about to pull out of the dealership when something slammed into the side of the car: another zombie. Eric yelled out in surprise, but managed to compose himself enough to put the car in gear. He pulled forward past the zombie and then quickly backed into it. The zombie fell to the ground, but Eric was sure it wasn't dead yet.

Max ran outside when he heard the scream he saw the stolen car but he was more worried about the pack of zombies eating the solders. He ran back inside and locked the door.
