Chapter 6: Wolf in sheep clothing

Lucas p.o.v

"Sir this is Aerial 10-98 reporting. I just circled back, sector 4.2 has been bombed, awaiting the next bomb location."

"Roger that 10-98. Head to sector B-98 where your last bombing site is located."

"Wait..." I put my helicopter's GPS to the sector. Once it locked out, I was shocked at the site. "Sir there must be some mistake, the location you sent me is a civilian sector."

"There is no mistake. Carry out the order agent Lucas."

"Sir I can't...there's people there..."

"That's a order Lucas, you are a government civilian and have made a pledge. State it."

"Sir but..."

"I said state it agent!"

"As a civilian of Vegas I here now pledge and will pledge always that we put first the preservation of humanity and the legacy of man at all cost."

"Now do your job agent."

"Right away sir..." I turned off the communicator and looked down. "Shit!" I kicked the dashboard, "This isn't right..." I shook my head, "I'm sorry..." I confirmed the coordinates into the GPS and flew it towards that direction.

Rachel p.o.v

"Momma where are we going?" Michelle asked.

I kept running, trying not to look back as I ran for sector B-98. "Don't worry sweetie, everything's going to be okay." The sector seemed untouched, hopefully there was still people there.

Once I entered the sector I began yelling, "Help! Can anyone help me! I have a child!"

I ran to every door and began banging. "Momma?"

"Help us!" I screamed, "I have a kid!"

It seemed hopeless, no one answered me. All the doors were security protected and it seemed everyone was gone. Suddenly I heard a noise, "Hey! Over here!"

I swung my head around and seen a man waving at me from his doorway. I rushed towards him, holding Michelle in my arms. "Momma a chopper!"

I looked up and seen the helicopter hovering over the house. I immediately stopped running, "RUN!!!" The guy looked at me curiously before looking up and seeing the helicopter. He grabbed someone and rushed out the house right before the bomb came down and destroyed everything in that area.

I looked up, realizing I passed out for a second. I looked over at Michelle who had a gash on her forehead and was out cold, "Baby!" I picked her up, "Baby wake up!"

"We need to go now!" I looked up and seen the guy from earlier. I looked around realizing I was longer in the sector, "How did we get here?"

"I carried you." He smiled, "Sector B-98 was destroyed. There destroying everything."

I sat up and looked at Michelle, moving a piece of her hair from her gash. "So your saying there's no place safe?"

"Outside is...sort of." He said unsure.

"He city is on lockdown, how do you expect us to get out there?" I asked.

"The same way they got in." He reached out his hand and helped me up, "There's a hole in the eastern region."

"But that's where..." I remembered something, "I seen something, a army...hundreds maybe thousands of them. That's why I ran, if we go there we'll die."

"Hey it's better then getting bombed right." He picked up a body in his hands, it was a small boy. "That's a risk I'm willing to take."

The guy ran up ahead, I looked at Michelle, "I'll keep you save...I'll make your daddy proud..." I picked her up and followed after the man.

Lucas p.o.v

I flew back to Vegas and landed my helicopter at the depot. "Nice work agent." The guy signed my copter in and nodded. "Just sign here with your number." I signed the paper, "Awesome, we appreciate your service to the cause. Long live humanity."

I walked downstairs and seen my supervisor in the lobby. I stared at him waiting for him to yell at me about questioning orders but he didn't say a word. Just a nod and a pat on the shoulder as he left towards the stairs with a coffee.

I decided to go home. My wife was asleep, I was glad that I couldn't tell her what happened but then again...I wish I could. Everything i've done to keep my pledge was eating away at me inside. I try to convince myself that sometimes you gotta do hard stuff for the greater good but I knew that wasn't true, that wasn't how I felt. I was just repeating what everyone else at the job told me. I had no choice but believe it.

I went in the kitchen and grabbed my hidden bottle of whiskey in the bottom cabinet and poured myself a glass. I took a sip and sighed, my wife came downstairs. "Rough day?"

I looked up at her and quickly put away the liquor, "Sorry...did I wake you?"

She shook her head and walked into the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around me and laid her head on my back, "No...couldn't sleep."

I sighed, "You ever think this virus is going to end?"

"That's what your fighting for right?"

"Yeah..." We stood there for awhile and eventually She fell asleep and I carried her to our bed. I took a shower and got dressed, stopping to look myself in the mirror. I looked at myself, my short brown hair, and scraggly beard. I was a killer...in my green eyes was a person who bombed innocents.

I splashed some water on my face...but I had a good reason, humanity needed to survive and if they weren't killed the number of corrupted would tear down Vegas...right?

I looked back up and seen a fire, people screaming in the reflection. I began to shake, the yelling overwhelmed me...I heard voices...and then finally it stopped. I was looking back at my reflection again...I stumbled backwards and slid to the floor, tears flowing from my eyes. I was a killer...nothing but a murderer in sheep's clothing. This is how how humanity lives now, survival of the fittest...

Suddenly I looked up and noticed a figure looking down at me, I jumped. "No...your not real!" I stood up and ran towards the door but it closed shut before I could reach it.

Why didn't you save me Lucas?

"I couldn't..."

You're a liar...nothing but a wolf...you killed me Lucas.

"No..."

You let me die!!!

"No!!!" I was finally able to open the door and I ran out in fear and tripped on my way to my bed.

My wife woke up, "Lucas? Are you okay?"

"Who are you? I didn't kill you... who are you? I didn't murder you... Its not my fault." I covered my face with my hands and began to cry, "Its not my fault..."
