Settling In

“They brought this down on us!” a voice yelled from the midst of the increasingly unruly mob.

“No!” Simon bellowed. “This did not start in your little village. You saw the news. It is everywhere. Japan went dark in a matter of hours with almost no warning. China followed and all of Asia. India did not last a week past that, and the Americans fared little better despite the bloody bastards all having guns hanging in the rear window of their pickup trucks.”

There was a noticeable lessening in the grumbles and angry whistles and catcalls from the people gathered in the school auditorium. Simon glanced over at Geoff who gave a slightly perceptible nod. Mrs. Raye was beside him and boosted his confidence with a thumbs-up.

“What we need to do now is come together and do all we can to survive. The big cities are gone. Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool…even London has fallen to this. There are now thousands of those things…the walking dead…wandering about, and if we waste our energy fighting each other, we will be joining those ranks before too long. And I can tell you from experience, the zombies are only part of the problem.”

Simon scanned the crowd and spotted Cedric in their midst. The man was standing with the group of hunters he went out with now on a regular basis. The man indicated that he wanted to actually join Simon up on the stage. Despite his deep-seated resentment towards the man, he gave a nod and waved for Cedric to come up and join him.

“Hey, most of you don’t know me,” the former detective said by way of introduction, “but I was in Leeds during those final days. Some of the things that I saw committed by one man against another would likely sicken many of you. Believe me when I say that there will be trials ahead. Just recently we have come across what can only be described as ritualistic killings.

“Our hunting group has been ranging west towards the outskirts of Garforth as we have switched roles and are now seeking potential supply resources. Just yesterday, we encountered something that was more than a little disturbing.” Cedric paused and glanced over at Simon.

There was something in his expression that almost seemed as if the man was asking for permission to continue. Simon gave a shrug and then a nod for the man to go ahead.

“Some of you may or may not be aware of what might be a military detachment in the area.” This statement received an immediate tremor of response in the crowd, and then a series of shushing noises as the interest level in this topic was obviously high. “We have reason to believe that there is indeed a rogue detachment of the British Army in the area committing heinous acts against small groups of survivors. While they would certainly have us in a bind when it comes to armament, I believe that we would be able to withstand an attack as long as we are united.
