Day 4

Sergeant Adams took Lily with him and went to gather the men. I watched them as they left and it seemed as though the two were engaged in a heated conversation. About what I was sure I would find out later. I talked with the two pilots about my plans for them. One would take me to the “undisclosed” location of Dr. Parks. The other would to go with the rest of the men, fly reconnaissance, and basically lead them until if and when I returned. I left it up to them as to who went where. After a short discussion it was decided Lieutenant Price would fly me to the Dr. and Lieutenant Mercer would go with the troops. They needed to gas up the choppers and get a fuel tanker ready to go with the platoon. When the first of the troops began to arrive, I sent them with the pilots to help. The men gathered around and I waited for Sergeant Adams and Corporal Flowers to get back so I could begin the briefing. After a longer wait than I would have anticipated, the two returned. Each had a backpack and looked to have already gathered their gear. I knew where this was heading. I went to the Sergeant to find out what they had in mind. Then I planned to put a stop to it.

“Glad to see you're ready Sergeant. I want you and Lieutenant Mercer to take the men north about ten or fifteen miles. It should be fairly clear of zombies that way. Then you should head west. When you get clear of these hordes maybe you should give the men the option of going it on their own or staying with the platoon. There's no reason to stop them from trying to get to their families. I would tell you to let them go now but if they were to try going east or south they'd never make it The horde coming at us from the south is so big we can't even stay here. Going towards them would be suicide. And I can't even imagine how bad it must be to the east. There's got to be millions of zombies all up and down the coast. Try to persuade the men not to go east.”

“What are your plans sir?”

“Honestly, Sergeant, I don't know. The only thing I'm sure of is, I want to meet Dr. Parks. He's the one that created this virus. The government thinks he's our best bet at finding a way to stop this. I'm not so sure about that.”

“Why not sir?”

“Not only did he create the virus, he's the one that spread it all over the world.”

“And they think he's going to invent a cure? Who could be that stupid?”

“The people in charge.”

“Corporal Flowers and I are coming with you.”

“You're going with the men. Lieutenant Mercer is going to need your help. And I want you to keep an eye on Lily for me.”

“There's four other sergeants in the platoon and six corporals.
