    Desmond- Back to the Med Bay...

    Leon- Alright. Hey, you two, take this kid back to the Med Bay.

    The two soldiers come back and escort Desmond back to the Med Bay. Desmond arrives in the Med Bay and the two soldiers go away. Asita isn't in the Med Bay anymore but Richards is.

    Desmond- Hey Richards...

    Richards turns around and looks at Desmond.

    Richards- Hey, if it isn't healthy in 5 seconds.

    Desmond- Not entirely, I came back to get another bed...I'm still in pain.

    Richards- That's natural...Um...Wait a second and I'll find you a bed.

    Desmond- What about this one?

    Desmond walks over to a bed near a window.

    Richards- Sure and you can open the window to look out...You're the only awake person right now so I doubt anyone will object.

    Desmond lays down and opens the window, it's cloudy like it just rained. Richards fixes some equipment on a man's station. Richards then moves a table of medical tools to the door and prepares to walk out.

    Richards- Desmond, I'm going to run out and get that medicine for you.

    Desmond- Medicine?

    Richards- Painkillers and stuff to help that wound.

    Desmond- Alright, thanks.

    Richards walks out and Desmond looks out the window. The parking lot is filled with people and supplies, each doing a job. Desmond looks at the giant wall which used to be the fence of the school. It was huge, made out of scrap metal, cars, and various other things. There were spikes on the outside which already caught some infected. Desmond looks around the room...People filled the beds, some shot and others probably bitten. Desmond then noticed some movement on the other side of the room and man looking like he was having a seziure.

    Desmond- Doc?!

    The man then falls off of his bed and gets back up. The man looks around and then Desmond notices his eyes...He's bleeding from them. The man runs at Desmond and Desmond jumps up and holds him off. Desmond pushes the man off of him and makes for the door, the man grabs his leg and trips him. Desmond tries to crawl away but the man quickly gets up and jumps on him. Desmond fights him off, barely holding him away from his neck. Suddenly the door opens and Richards comes back him. Richards puts the medicine down and grabs a small surgical knife off of the table. Richards grabs the man's head and lifts it up and slices his neck. The man falls off of Desmond and Richards picks Desmond up.

    Richards- Did he bit you?!

    Desmond- No...Thank God no...

    Richards-...I believe you...

    Desmond- Thanks...

    Richards- Fuck...He was bitten...

    Desmond- Who was he?

    Richards- A man...A man our runners found Downtown.

    Desmond- Runners?

    Richards- I guess we should get you back into the world...It's obvious you can hold your own. Thank God you were here, if you weren't then everyone in this room might've died. Do you have a room?

    Desmond- I don't know where it is...

    Richards pulls out a radio.

    Richards- Hey...Yeah it's Richards. Outbreak, Second floor...Don't worry only one person...Already dead...No bitten...Cleanup and also an escort, we have someone who needs to be taken to his room. Yeah, he did...Alright...Okay.

    Richards hangs up.

    Desmond- Who was that?

    Richards- John.

    Desmond- Oh okay...So...

    Richards hands Desmond some medicine.

    Richards- Take this everyday, only once, around the same time for about a week...You'll be fine.

    Desmond- Thanks.

    John comes in with some other guards. John is in a military outfit and with two men also in military outfits. John looks at the dead Crier and at Desmond.

    John- Hey kid...Come with me, I'll get you to your room.

    Desmond- Thanks.

    Desmond walks out with John while the two other men pick up the dead body.

  • Memories 1-17

    Desmond and John walk down the hallway.

    John- Hey, kid, you really kill that crier in there?

    Desmond- Crier? You mean the guy who tried to kill me?

    John- Yeah, we call them criers.

    Desmond- Yeah, I killed him.

    John- It. It's not Human anymore.

    Desmond-...So...What's life like? Did you join the military?

    John laughs

    John- No kid, I'm on wall duty.

    Desmond- What?

    John- Hmm...Alright, let me explain. We live in this Safe Zone, there are jobs, some of them are civilian jobs like mechanic, doctor, stuff like that. Those people live in here, away from harm, they do their jobs. Anyone else who doesnt have anything useful become one of three things. A wall guard. Wall guards patrol the school and wall, we wear military outfits to allow us into different areas. Then there are Scouts, these people run into the city and other places to scout for supplies and survivors. Now, they usually don't do anything than kill the occasional crier to save someone or grab a few supplies. They move fast and act fast. Then there are Runners, these people make the runs into the places the Scouts scouted to collect resources and escort survivors back here. Sorry if this is a lot of information.

    Desmond- Who is our leader?

    John- Leader? Kid, this is a military controlled zone, the government is our leader.

    Desmond- Not for long.

    John- What?

    Desmond- They're leaving.

    John- WHAT?

    John stops and so does Desmond. John pulls Desmond into a small closet.

    John- What are you talking about?

    Desmond-Um...The military is leaving, they're taking supplies. The soldiers get to stay if they want.

    John- Fuck...Fuck...It's all because of The Reapers isn't it. Those motherfuckers!

    Desmond- Who?

    John- It's the gang of assholes that's been destroying Safe Zones and ravinging the fucking city like barbarians.

    Desmond-...Well...

    John- Fuck...Just...Fuck, wait. Follow me.

    John and Desmond leave the closet. They walk down the hallway as quiet as can be till they reach a room. They both walk in. It's a used to be classroom, the place is empty except for some beds.

    John- Welcome to your humble abode.

    Desmond- Is it just for me?

    John-Well...For now it is.

    Desmond- For now?

    John- Listen, Runners and scouts get these rooms along with whoever is on Wall Duty.

    Desmond- Which am I?

    John- No clue, got to say probably Wall Duty. That means don't get too comfortable.

    John leaves the room. Desmond lays down on his bed and looks around. He thinks about what he could do, he wanted to make sure his friends were alive.

  • I'm going to add a system to the OP to where I keep track of characters, their position, their job, and their health. It should be like a board if you were in a Safe Zone. Any characters not in the Safe Zone or friendlies will be kept track of too but not as much.

  • Memories 1-18

    Desmond hops off of his bed and gets ready to search for his friends. He walks outside into the hallway and soon runs into someone who was running in the hallway. He gets up and helps them up, it was Stephanie.

    Stephanie- I heard you were up! I'm so happy to see you.

    They embrace in a hug.

    Desmond- Are you okay?

    Stephanie- It's been hard but yes.

    They stop hugging and they start walking to the outside parking lot.

    Desmond- A lot change?

    Stephanie- Yeah, it's crazy. The old gym here has been made into a refugge centre. The parking lot is full of soldiers and busy people. Your house was looted...I did grab some stuff though.

    Desmond- Thank you. Where is it?

    Stephanie- My room, i'll give it to you later. Downtown has erupted into a war zone. The gangs killing anyone they can, Criers running rampant in the streets, survivors just trying to stay alive. It's crazy, we're sending our people out there...

    Desmond- I still don't know what job I have here.

    Stephanie- Hopefully guard duty.

    Desmond- Hopefully.

    The two get to the lobby which used to be a nice clean place was now a area filled with boxes and dirt everywhere. They then walk out the doors and into the parking lot which now looked like a market. Desmond looked in awe at the large gate around the school. It was made out of wood, stone, cars, metal, anything.

    Desmond- When did they make this?

    Stephanie- You'll be surprised what happened in the days you were out. You wouldn't recognize half the place.

    Suddenly an alarm goes off in the middle. Desmond looks worried and Stephanie clutches his arm.

    Stephanie- Don't worry, it's just the announcement alarm.

    Desmond calms down and follows the alarm. They arrive to Leon in a large center of the parking lot. He is standing on boxes guarded by soldiers.

    Leon- Everyone! Everyone! Announcements! First off, something I don't think you'll like...The military is leaving this Zone.

    The crowd starts to get worried and angry. People scream out in anger and fear.

    Leon- Now calm down!

    The crowd stays loud. Leon takes his pistol out of his pocket and shoots in the air. The crowd becomes quiet.

    Leon- Thank you. Now, the military might be leaving but any soldiers who want to stay can stay and we are allowed a box of supplies for each grown survivor we have here and half a box for each child. We understand that this is outrageous but we can't do anything about it. We were lucky to get that much. Now that the military has left, we need a leader. I, as last highest ranking military leader am taking the leader position. I understand that this is a large shift in power and I need you all to stay calm during this transition. Now, as my first act as leader, I want everyone to report and get a dog tag as soon as possible. This is to keep track of people and give respects if any of us should die and the body be unrecoverable. Any soldiers who wish to stay at this Zone should report to my office. Thank you for your time, please return to what you were doing.

    Leon steps down and through the crowd with the soldiers protecting him. He soon gets to where Desmond is.

    Desmond- Leon! Leon!

    The guards protect him but Leon signs them off.

    Leon- Hey, Desmond! Good job with containing that outbreak. So what do you need?

    Desmond- What is my job?

    Leon- Excuse me?

    Desmond- My job, working in the Safe Zone.

    Leon- Man, I've never seen a kid want to work so fast in my life. You just got out of the infirmary TODAY. However...I have bad news for you. Report to my office soon and I'll give it to you.

    Leon walks away.
