4 Episode 4- The Sacrifice (2/2)
”Big....huge....lady..” She managed to say without fainting.
John and Joe run out of the barn. Joe runs inside while John shoots at something while running up to Mike and them.
Eva and Mike soon see a huge fat zombie running after John.
”That's one big lady” Mike said scared.
Suddenly Joe came outside with a shotgun. He was already firing before even stepping outside.
”Kill it!” Mike yelled wanting this thing dead.
”What do you think he is doing?” John said mad.
”Leave him alone!” Carrie looked at John mad.
They started to argue.
”Hold on!” Joe yelled at him so he could focus.
As the zombie got closer Mike and the others started to freak. This thing was strong.
”Kill it!” Mike yelled again.
”Die you son of a bitch!” Joe said as he got close enough to the zombie and shot it right in the head.It fell to the ground.
”Damn...” Carrie said watching the large thing fall.
”Carrie language!” John said madly.
”Whatever” She says while looking at inside the home. 'Hope the girls are okay' she thought.
”Why was that thing inside there?” Mike asked Joe as he was walking up.
Joe put the shotgun by his side as he spoke. ”Ask Eva. She knows who that was.” he was clearly looking at her angrily.
Everyone turned to her. Eva looked at the ground. Tears running down her cheeks.
”My mama...” she ran inside.
Everyone looked worried, but Joe.
John and Mike followed her. Mike stopped and looked at Carrie and Joe.
”You coming?”
”I am but,” Joe grabbed John and Carrie and put them side by side. ”You two need to work on your issues”
”What issues do we have? I know I don't have any!” Carrie said crossing her arms.
John rolled his eyes. ”Name one!”
”Oh yes you do! And I will!” Joe went to them. ”You guys have been arguing since you got here.” He turns to John. ”You sir need to let her in once and while and stop treating her like some kid.” he turns to Carrie. ”And you need to understand he is only looking out for you because he loves you.”
”Well...um....well...” John said while trying to think of something.
”Well nothing! You two need to work this out.” Joe sighed. ”I know it isn't any of my business but...well you see....” He looked inside to see his wife crying at the table. He looked at the ground. ”That's what got her mama bit. They kept arguing and arguing for years up until her mama died.” He looked at them two. ”I don't want the same thing happening to you two. And if you want to go into town than you two better work it out.”
”Well fine, but you're not going to keep bossing me around like some kid. I'm grown. Hell I'm older than you” John said madly. He didn't like what Joe was doing. He was the only one that bossed people around.
”I promise to not argue again” Carrie said as she looked at John but quickly away. ”If you take us to town I wont fight with my uncle.”
John shook his head in agreement.
”Alright. Lets go.” Joe said nodding. He knew this was the right thing to do.
John, Joe and Carrie all started for the barn again to get in the car when gun shots went off in the front of the house.
”GET DOWN!” John yelled as he quickly went to the ground.
John and Carrie went to the ground.
”Why the hell are gun shots going off?” John asked looking around to see anybody who could be shooting.
”I don't know but we need to get out of here.” Joe said slowly getting up and sitting next to the barn door.
”Joe I can go get Eva and the rest of them while you and John get the car started.” Carrie said as she slowly got up.
Joe nodded in agreement and went to the car.
Carrie ran quickly to the house to grab the others.
John got into the car as Joe did.
”Hopefully they will be okay” Joe said starting the car.
”They will. Carrie can handle herself” John said as they hurried and pulled out of the barn.
They got next to the house.
”Where are they?” John said looking around.
”I don't know but I suddenly got a bad feeling in my gut” Joe said as he looked inside the house.
Suddenly the back door opened in the car. Both John and Joe looked behind them. Mike sat in the back seat. His face looked as if the blood in it was drained. Before they could ask him anything two cars came up behind the car they were in.
”Oh no....” John said as he looked behind the car. ”Shit shit!”
The people in the cars start to get out. As they do a tall man with red orange hair and a long somewhat grayish beard gets out.
”What the hell does this guy want?” John said pissed.
The tall man sat on one of the cars and waved at John and Joe. ”Come on out before things get ugly” He put a toothpick in his mouth.
Joe and John got out. Mike stayed in just so he could be safe.
As Joe and John approached the man he shook his head. ”The boy too”
Mike slowly got out. ”John...” he whispered to him.
”Its okay Mike” John said as he kept his eyes on the tall man.
”Hmm” The man looked like he was studying them. He smiled. ”You people must be scared right?” He got off the car.
”We...” Joe started to say when the man interrupt him.
”Don't start with your shit. I'm only here as a friend” He spout out his toothpick. ”Now you see you people have something that I want and now how I see it is if you do agree to give it to me ill let you free but..” He looked at them smiling. ”If you don't things will truly get ugly.”
”Listen you have the wrong people. We are just a couple of people that are living the good farm life” Joe pleaded.
The man shook his head. ”Wrong answer.” He suddenly shot Joe in the leg. Joe fell. ”Now if you don't want anymore blood happening than I will ask again” he looked at them pointing the gun. ”Are you going to give me the thing I want?” They said nothing. He sighed. ”Fine!” he shot the gun but nothing happened. He began to laugh. ”Oh I'm just kidding. I already shot him” He laughed pointing at Joe. ”But if you really don't want to say anything than I will just have to bribe you” He nodded at one of the other men and they went to a car.
”John what hell is going to happen to us?” Mike whispered. You can tell he was scared.
”I don't know but promise me you'll run when I say to” John whispered back.
Mike nodded. He looked down at Joe. Even though he got shot he still was holding back his tears and everything. Mike looked back at the man and his eye widened. ”Oh god..”
The man set down three women on the ground. All three had a bag over their heads.
Mike started to feel something inside. It wasn't fear it was anger. He clutched his fists. ”You bastered!” he yelled at them.
The man frowned. He shot by Mikes feet. ”Be careful little boy” he put his gun back up. ”Okay you” he pointed to John. ”Whats your name?”
John didn't say anything. He just kept his eyes on the man.
”Okay mister tough guy. Ill tell you mine. Its Simon.” He smiled. He pointed the gun at John. ”Now what was your name again?”
John bit his lip. ”Names John..”
”Awe see was is that hard?” He put his gun away. ”Anyways do you know who these women are?” He removed all the bags over their heads.
John swallowed hard. ”Yes...the one with black hair is my niece Carrie...” He looked at her. She was crying.
”Oh Carrie such a lovely name!” Simon went to her. ”Oh and such a pretty face” he touched her cheek. ”So young...so beautiful”
Carrie looked at John. She than looked at the man. ”You know I love a big strong man” she said biting her lip.
”Oh do you really?” He said smiling and touching her hair.
”NO!” she spat right in his face.
He wiped his face off.
”Oh did you not like that?” She laughed.
He grabbed her face and got close to hers. ”Now that wasn't very nice.” He let go and stood up. ”You see men? This woman is mine!” he suddenly slapped her. ”And I make sure my woman stay inline.”
Tears ran down Carries face but she didn't look away from Simon. All she wanted to do was rip him apart.
Simon turned to John. ”I wanna make a deal you see.”
John watched Carrie. He looked at Simon. ”What kind of deal?”
”Well....” He looked at his men. ”You see I'm running low on men. So if I give you these women you have to come work for me. You and that one” he pointed to Joe.
”If we do...” John looked at Carrie. ”The girls and the boy here go away being unharmed?”
”You have my word” Simon said smiling.
”John no!” Carrie yelled.
”Hey hey” Simon went to her. ”There there pretty lady. Ill see you soon. I will miss your beautiful face” he stood. ”You have three minutes to say goodbye. Make them quick.” he let Carrie and the other women go see the others.
Carrie ran to John hugging him tightly. ”Please don't go...” she pleaded.
”I don't have a choice. Its better if I stay here and do whatever they want while you be safe anyways.” John said while wiping her face.
”I know but I cant lose you John. You are the only family I have left.” She cried more.
”Listen you have Mike, Shawn and Ellis who will look after you” He smiled at her. He pulled something out of his pocket. ”Here. I was going to wait until your birthday but since plans have changed I guess its now or never.” He handed her a small box.
She opened it. ”Oh my god...John is this-”
”Your mothers necklace yes.” He smiled at her.
”Okay three minutes are up. Lets go!” Simon said leaning on the car.
”I'm going to miss you” Carried hugged him tight. ”Never stop being an idiot.” They both laughed.
”Me too” He said holding back his tears.
”Lets go people!” Simon said waving at them.
Some men grabbed Joe and John. John went in one car and Joe went in another.
”Sorry it had to end like this sweet heart but we will meet again.” Simon said as he blown Carrie a kiss.
Carrie ignored him and wiped her face. She got into the car as the others did too. They drove off leaving Simon and his men watching them....
