Chapter 196 - Sorry, sorry for... (1/2)
*CRASH*
The three of us tensed when we heard the gunshot. I instinctively pulled Jared and Kaley down since we heard the gunshot. I just caught a glimpse of a flash coming from the office we were trying to drive the drones earlier before I pulled them down. The window I carefully opened now has shattered to pieces and luckily none of us three was shot. However, our controllers for the drones fell and it made the drones lose control inside. The feed is showing darkness but a couple sun rays would hit it and I surmise that it is getting kicked around.
”Kid?!” Oscar shouted from below.
”Someone's inside old man, be quiet for a few moments. I'll handle it.” I replied.
”I'll take a few people to head to the main entrance.” he said.
”Yeah, do that. Don't open it yet though, there's several of the dead inside the first floor and we don't know what type they are yet.” I said.
After that single shot on which I surmise is from a shotgun, I thought of a few ways to handle the situation.
”I need to establish a connection first.” I thought to myself.
”Hey! We're sorry we didn't know that anyone was here! Can you speak to us? We don't mean any harm!” I shouted.
No response.
However, I'm listening to other sounds that might reveal where the person or persons inside is located.
”I'm Sky Ishiyama and we belong in a special unit. You could keep everything you have there but we need to kill everything below! I'm not sure if you're still able to hear the broadcasts but they evolve or turn to something completely different. It's a bad idea to let them-” I was cut off.
”YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING MY FAMILY!!!” A shout came from the same direction the shot was fired.
”Great. One of those.” I thought to myself as I made an exasperated exhale.
”You know they're already dead, right?” I said in a calm tone.
”I'LL WAIT FOR THE CURE TO COME! IT WILL COME SOON! HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES! I KNOW IT'S COMING!” he said.
I saw Tatiana slowly making her way towards us and she's giving her normal look of nonchalance. She started to slowly move her hands.
From the past week, I decided to learn more signs in ASL. I even taught my group basic signs to combine it with but Kaley and Tatiana were the only ones able to completely communicate not just with simple responses but actual sentences though still limited.
What I did to made up for it is I would read their lips to fill in the gaps on some things that made no sense since they would mouth whatever they were trying to say.
Jared and Lois on the other hand can only respond with simple signs but those two f.u.c.kers learned curse signs first before everything else so they could argue in another way without their sister noticing.
'Want me to do something to distract him?' Tatiana gestured.
I just shook my head then Kaley looked annoyed.
I raised my eyebrows in question and the both of them looked annoyed at me now.
'What's the point of us learning to sign if you would just use body language normally?!' they both gestured.
”Oh.” is all that came out of me.
The two were shaking their heads in annoyance.
'Oh.' I signed.
”...” the two.
Jared was almost dying trying to hold his stomach and contain his laughter.
'F.u.c.k.' he signed as well.
”And that's all you f.u.c.k.i.n.g know.” I silently said and I went back to the task at hand.
”The cure is definitely coming but sorry to tell you this but it won't be available this early. It could take several years and we never know what state your fami-” another gunshot fired from the same spot.
*BANG*
”NOT ANOTHER BULLSHIT TALK FROM YOU! I'LL BREAK MORE THAN GLASS IF YOU TRIED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE! LEAVE OR I'LL F.U.C.K.I.N.G DO IT AGAIN!” he shouted again.
”Again? What did he do again?” I thought to myself.
”Dammit! F.u.c.k.i.n.g listen to me! This is also for your own safety! We don't know how long would it take for the ones below to turn into something else. Even if the ones below didn't, you can't restore something that has turned to that extent back to the way it was. I'm sorry but even if a cure was made, it's already too late for your family.” I tried to explain.
*BANG*
