Chapter 25 - Sky! F.U.C.K! SKY?! (1/2)
”Do you have Satellite Phones here?” I said, hoping.
”What's that?” Juan said.
I explained to him that those are phones that doesn't use the cell sites to connect to other phones. It gets its signal from the orbiting satellites across the world.
”Oh, sorry no.” he replied.
”Well, at least I tried. That would be too easy if they do.” I said to myself.
I looked at the crowd once again, ”As I was saying, you could stay here and hole up. But if you go outside with me, there are three options. First, there is a DDR camp at Malanday at the highschool, there's good military presence there and it is next to a hospital, I could drop you off there. Second, I figured that some of you probably used your own vehicle to come here, I suggest you take some supplies here and head to everywhere you want to go. I suggest to your other family members or to the provinces. Most of these things are in the city and it's safer there. And Lastly…” I paused as I looked at everyone once again.
”I have a place, It's a small compound. We have food, water and secure walls. I can give you a place to stay but you must contribute and do as I say. I'm not gonna say much on it but we're a group of people that wouldn't wait for anyone to do something about this thing. We do what we can and what we should.” I continued.
”Decide for yourselves now because I'll leave tomorrow at first light. Juan, can you guide me upstairs to the roof?” I said.
”Uhh, sure, follow me.” He said as he guided me to a set of stairs.
Allan also followed me upstairs while Jenny was is sitting on one of the benches. A few minutes of walking then we reached the rooftop. Like clockwork, my radio buzzed.
*bzzt*
”Sky, do you f.u.c.k.i.n.g copy! Answer dammit!”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”You said freaking 30 minutes! F.u.c.k.i.n.g answer already!”
*bzzt*
I was about to answer them but I had a little thought. I picked up the radio and I composed myself before I started to speak.
*bzzt*
*snarl* *growl*
*bzzt*
I waited a few moments then I heard the radio buzz again.
*bzzt*
”Sky?! F.u.c.k! SKY!”
*bzzt*
I tried to hold back my laughter while the two beside me is giving me weird looks. I did the zombie voice again then it clicked. Someone must've left the radio on and I heard shouting while I heard someone start to cry. I hear someone grabbing the radio and I think it was Oscar.
*bzzt*
”You f.u.c.k.i.n.g idiot! Stop doing that, everyone is devastated. Zombies can't use the walkie you dumb f.u.c.k. Kid! F.u.c.k.i.n.g talk normally Kaley almost fainted, you stupid f.u.c.k!”
*bzzt*
”That's totally not cool man, you can't joke at a time like this.” Allan shakes his head but I saw in the corner of my eye that Juan has covered his face and his shoulders are going up and down holding back his laughter.
I finally relented and I talked to the radio. After an hour of scolding from my aunt and Oscar, I finally told them the situation.
*bzzt*
”It's a mall here, do you need anything besides the essentials?” I said.
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”None, just get your ass here tomorrow morning kid so I could slap some sense into you.” He said.
*bzzt*
