Y/n POV


At the break of dawn, Tom and I immediately left. We bought everything that we needed to help execute our plan, he even managed to creat a small communication device that we could use so we could stay connected back home in case of any trouble occurring.


When we arrived at the place, we started setting up our trap. Ready to start a commotion, I waited for Tom's signal.


"This should do it. Turn on the diversion." Tom said.


I nodded and opened the speakers that created a loud noise. A few seconds later, freaks from inside the building started coming out one by one. Tom and I started to gear up, covering every exposed areas in our body with thick materials. As we finally put our helmet, and took our weapons. One by one we started stabbing the freaks who are trapped in our contraption in the head.


"Heads up, more are coming." I told Tom.


"Boy you weren't joking when you told me we'll be doing this for a few days." Tom said while he continues on stabbing the freaks in the head.


"We can rest for a few minutes when we get tired. Our contraptions are strong enough to hold them." I told him.


After a few minutes of getting busy with the freaks, we can hear Katie calling for us in our communication device.


"Y/n, Tom... are you guys there?" I heard her say.


"Yes we're here, it's already getting busy. It's like there are an unlimited number of those rotting freaks here." I told her after opening our communication line so I could talk back to them.


"Please be careful. I swear I'm gonna beat you up if you come home wounded." Katie, said in concern.


"Whoah there woman, we all love each other here. I promise you we'll come home safe, healthy and with two trucks full of supplies." I said and chuckled at her statement.


"You better come home to me Mchungry." She said.


I could imagine Katie smiling on the other end of the line.


"I don't get hungry a lot you dollophead." I lauged while tom and I continue at our work.


"But I will... see you soon McKath." I smiled.


The line ended after we both agreed to check up on each other after a few hours.


As we finished killing nearly half of the freaks, Tom and I decided to take a break. Sitting at our trucks, we started eating the food we've brought.


"You and Katie seem to be getting closer, do you like her?" Tom asked.


"Katie is a great girl. I don't think I deserve her. She obviously know about Gal, even after what happened I can't just go to her just because Gal is with you now." I casually said.


Tom nodded apologizing once again for what happened. 


After we've finished our snack, we immediately went back to work.


What I said is true. Katie is truely a great girl and anyone would be lucky to have her... but I can't help but feel like I'm not worth her time, and love.


As the hours passed by Gal and Katie would occationally check up on us. Surprisingly, we quickly killed all the freaks that came out from the building.


"Looks like we'll be back home by tomorrow." I said to Tom.


"There would still be a few of those freaks stuck inside but we can easily handle them. We can build camp near our trucks." Tom told me.


I nodded. We'll be continuing our work first thing tomorrow, stabbing those freaks for hours is really exhausting.

Gal's POV


I overheard Katies conversation with y/n. They seem to be getting closer every day. It pains me to see y/n happy with someone else. I feel so stupid that I can't be there for her like I used to be. I should be the one making her happy, and not Katie.  I don't know whether to whip up a plan and do something about it or not.

Tom's POV


The next day y/n and I immediately packed up and readjusted our gear. We started to go inside the building, stabbing the freaks who came into our way.


Y/n grabbed my arm to lead me to the area where all the supplies were.


"Holy shit. You weren't kidding when you said we'll be set for years." I told her as we start to gather supplies.


After a few trips back and forth between the supplies and our truck, we heard a noise coming from the other side of the room. I looked at y/n and she signalled me to ready my gun.


We slowly went towards the noise to investigate. As we get nearer and nearer, we can finally hear the noise clearly.... and oddly familiar voice asking for help.


Looking back at y/n once again, I saw her raising her gun, slowly walking towards the voice. She signaled me to go behind her to back me up.

Y/n's POV


"H-help! Please! I don't want to die!" The voice begs for help. I can see the person's legs stuck at our contraption. I quietly told Tom to go straight ahead and make ourselves know.


Going pass me, Tom went out to where the person is stuck. Oddly enough I saw Tom's body stiffened as if he had seen a ghost.


"Tom, is something wrong? Are you okay?" I quickly went to him to check on him.


As I looked at his face, I saw anger and shock in his eyes with his jaw clenched. I shooked Tom to get him to look back at me but he never budged. Giving up, I finally turned towards to where he was looking.


I froze in my spot, as hear Tom talk before I blacked out only seeing red.


"Peter."
