IC-SWORD-Breakfast Time(Jake/Mary/Clyde/Veronica)

A new day dawns, and with it new horrors. Tensions are rising at Warren Air Force Base, where traitors lurk behind the scenes and the fate of the world may be at stake. A daring mission to Montana is launched, where an isolated ranch receives new visitors - and trouble. In Omaha, the zombie menace seems to be over. The few surviving law enforcement personnel attempt to restore order, but criminals are not going to make it easy for them. Preparations for evacuation are underway at Brooks High School, and a dangerous new threat lurks.

IC-SWORD-Breakfast Time(Jake/Mary/Clyde/Veronica)

Post by Mr. Handy »

Z-Day + 1 - 5:55 AM Mountain Time - 4 miles east of Scobey, Montana
In the dining room-
Jake Bell sat with his family around the dining room table as they finished their breakfast. They had already woken up about an hour ago to milk the cows, slop the pigs, and carry out other early morning tasks around the Bell Ranch. Today was no ordinary day, however. The world as they had known it had turned upside down the day before, when a mysterious infection had apparently broken out. Infected people had come first from the nearby tiny village of Flaxville, about a mile to the east, and later from other nearby farms and ranches. Then they had come from Scobey in greater numbers. They tried to eat everyone they came across - except each other. Those who were bitten became like them. They were also very resilient, even surviving gunshots to the chest and continuing to attack. They had soon learned that the surest way to kill them was to shoot them in the head. Unfortunately, this was discovered too late to save the ranch hands, but Jake's family had survived: his wife Mary, his son Clyde, and his daughter-in-law Veronica. Jake's brother Steve had a farm near Crawford in northwestern Nebraska where he lived with his wife Myra. Jake's niece Caitlin had been staying there. None of the Bells knew whether this was happening there or what had happened to them. The attacks had dwindled throughout the day, and by evening there had only been a few stray infected people. By midnight the attacks had stopped, though the survivors had still taken shifts watching for them.

In the dining room-
"I hear someone," said Jake, standing up. "A few someones, coming up the front walk." He grabbed up his rifle and peeked out the window. "It's still too dark. Can't see a blasted thing."

Mary stood by his side, but she couldn't see anyone either. Neither could Clyde nor Veronica.

"Gather your weapons," said Jake, hurrying into the living room to defend the front door. "We've got company." The rest of his family followed suit.

In the living room-
There was a knock on the door.

"The maniacs don't knock, they smash," said Mary.

Jake nodded and opened the door to reveal his niece Caitlin standing in front of it, her red hair and freckles very familiar to him. "Caitlin!" he cried, overjoyed. "Come in, quickly! Did you come here by yourself? Where are your parents?"

In the living room-
"Two others," said Caitlin. "It's okay, guys. Mom was... and Dad..." She trailed off, just shaking her head.
