Chapter 33 - 29: The Secret General (1/2)

Sometime during Johns visit to James home.

Joseph stood solemnly with his eyes locked on to his undead squad. For the last couple of

days he had trained them each in various fields in such a short time he began having doubts about their capabilities.

In his career as The Secret General of the U.S., he commanded just an army of 100, no more, no less. Of course, it wasn't his choice nor preference to limit himself to such a small army, but it was the most he was allowed to have under his belt at any given time due to other official's disdain and jealousy of his skills and strategy at leading an army. Often they would throw incredibly ridiculous assignments and missions his way just to ensure his failure, which was always mostly in vain.

Most who knew of him and his army would refer to them as a night parade of a100 ghosts because of their skill in infiltration and assassination. Their missions were mostly nothing more than highly classified missions pertaining to infiltrations, assassination, and lastly Radius Sweeps. The latter was the one that gave them their reputation as no one was as skilled as them when it came to killing and making entire towns or half of a city of people disappear within a night like they did.

His success as The Secret General was one of the two things that made him happy, the other being his wife and daughter. Failure wasn't an option in his line of work as it would either mean being decommissioned or permanently decommissioned. While the former meant never seeing the light of day again, the latter most definitely meant death for anyone who failed.

Waking from his thoughts of similarity between his new army and the former one, he began making his way towards a gate with a very large yard with trees behind a fence with many zombies trying to find there way through. Beyond the yard was a very large white building with searchlights, tanks, and heavily armed military personnel who were either standing still or quietly shaking in the knees from the sight of what stood between them and the fence.

Joseph standing with his army of 10 were greatly mixed in with the large crowd of undead pushing on the gate with all their might. Whose gate were they about to push down, might you ask? Who else's but the president of the United States.

Before arriving outside the fence, Joseph had advised that they take out certain problematic individuals and organizations before they had a chance to regroup to unknown areas before John got the chance to assign undead birds to monitor them. Especially those groups and individuals that Joseph knew were heading below ground and blasting away any trail they might leave.

Eventually, Joseph had convinced John and let him possess his body to have a line of sight on who was all going to be teleported by a shadow he was summoned for them from across the country. At first, John himself didn't know how Joseph's mission would go, but seeing how confident he was in using his newly trained forces; he gave Joseph a gift in allowing his small army of ten to use their full motor functionality and sending them outside of the white house's lawn by possessing an undead outside the fence surrounded by a small legion of undead.

As the fence creaked and began to bend inward Joseph began to move his forces out of the crowd towards the sides. He'd seen situations like these where warlords would have a rebellion of angry farmers pushing down their gates in order to get at their throats for their constant abuse. In that case, which was very similar to his current predicament with the exception of angry farmers for zombies, he waited for the gate to fall which was followed by gunfire that mowed down most of the farmers which let him and a small group of his forces to infiltrate the compound and get the job done.
