Jon was almost home

He had waited an hour for Tom then another hour and another it was 7 o clock when he finally left the hospital grounds and had started to head back

He had managed to escape through the loading bay but a group of undead had followed him out preventing him from re entering the building with the main entrance being packed with undead and it would be suicidal to enter through another exit as he did not know the layout of the hospital

Jon hit the call button on the door and was buzzed in

What was he going to say to everyone? How would he explain this to Sky? She had started coming out of her shell lately after she had lost her father in the last stand no one had the heart to ask her about her mother

Jon climbed up the stairs, Toby met him at the top

They searched through the bag luckily there were some antibiotics in the bag and Tom had not been carrying all of it

Toby did not seem to notice Tom's absence probably thinking he was still downstairs

Toby rushed off to give the medicine to Jenna Jon sat down at the top of the stairs his leg's dangling over the edge

Jane appeared at the doorway and looked at him but didn't come over she was still scared of him she looked like she wanted to ask but instead walked away

Sky appeared running out on to the landing eyes wide and bright at seeing his return "Where's Tom I did my math stuff he said he wanted to check it before I could watch a film..." She stopped talking and looked round desperately looking for any sign of Tom,tears formed in her eyes

"Where is he?" she cried

Jon didn't know what to say to her this is the second time she had her heart broken in less than a month

She sat down

Next to him and sobbed.

Blood was every where on the bed on this guy who ever he was on the floor and on me

I know sweet fuck all about medicine 8 seasons of house and 7 seasons of scrubs is the total of my medical knowledge

The guy was pale as the white sheets the parts that were not covered in blood anyway

I looked in the wardrobe and found what I hoped were not this guys best shirts ripped them in to strips and tied them round the man's wrists.I was conflicted about what to do.I had seen the man we discovered in the flat had turned with out being bitten

The bleeding seemed to have stopped and there was still a pulse so i was safe for now I took the handcuff's out from my satchel and handcuffed the man to the headboard

I then proceeded to wander round the house, I was unable to find a mobile phone or a house phone to call home but I did find a pack of biscuit's which I quickly tore through

I decided to sleep outside the room the man was in not wanting him to possibly turn while I was in the room

I took a few cushions from the sofa and placed them outside the room to settle down

I laid down and closed my eyes my head was still throbbing and I was still getting blurred vision occasionally I don't think you are meant to fall asleep with a possible concussion but there was no doctor here to lecture me otherwise I drifted off staring at the door.

The mood in the flat was somber Jon had tried to call Tom's phone multiple times no response

Sky had ran off to her room earlier and all attempts to try and comfort her had failed

Jon Jane Lara and Toby had gathered round the living room table with a bottle of vodka attempting to drown out Tom's screamingly loud absence

Jenna was still asleep but it seemed her condition was improving her fever had gone down and she had woken up briefly for some water and to take more antibiotics

"We go look for him" Toby said finishing his vodka and slamming the glass down on the table

"That's suicide there is to many of them" Jon replied not looking up from his glass

"Well we cant sit here and do fuck all he is out there some where he would come looking for us hell he went out looking for a dog" Toby jabbed his fingers in Duke's direction who was curled up at Jane's feet

Lara spoke next "I think we should look for him but not now we should wait till tomorrow" "N0!" Jon stood up from the table almost knocking the bottle over

"It's to dangerous we go back we get killed of Tom's alive he will make it back if not then" Jon's voice trailed off everyone looked at him he stormed out the room he spent that night sitting outside Sky's room neither of them could sleep she stared at the ceiling he sat and drank.

2 Day's Later

"Can I get one of those?" The voice scared the living hell out of me I looked over to the bed he was awake

He still looked like crap but alive

I threw him a cigarette and cautiously leaned over him to light it

"Are you thirsty? Hungry?" I asked

The man shook his head "No food in the house but a drink of water would be nice if we have it" I threw him my water bottle he attempted to catch it with his cuffed hand he looked shocked and turned to me

"Yeah sorry about that cant be to careful" I said moving over to uncuff him

"I have seen people turn with out getting bitten" "Me to" There was a long pause "I'm Tom" "Jack so Tom what brings you to my humble abode?" I explained what had happened at the hospital how I had broken in looking for a safe place to stay only to discover him and spend the next 2 day's trying to get him better

"I don't know why you bothered me and you are probably the only 2 people left" "No were not" Jack's face was shocked

"That's why we were at the hospital a friend of ours was hurt we went looking for medicine we got separated" A smash stopped the conversation the sound of glass breaking

"I looked at Jack can you walk do you have a weapon?" He nodded he could walk but did not have a weapon

"O.K you have 2 choices duded wait here for certain death or come with me and probable death" "Well when you put it like that guess I'm coming with you" he said

Whilst wandering round the house I had found the garage attached to the house found the key's in the kitchen and it had half a tank there was also a large amount of tool's that were obviously part of Jack's trade I had piled them and a few other item's in to the ancient Vauxhall Astra

We headed downstairs the sound was coming from the living room I could here voices

Shit people not dead

We got to the garage and I went to the door to pull it open as Jack started the engine

The door opened and right on the other side were 3 men the 1st one looked at me in shock ans so did I he recovered 1st he punched me square i the face

My legs wobbled I tried to reach for my baton but he delivered another punch to my stomach and i dropped to my knee's

"And where do you think you are going?" he said in a sneering voice

"You pissed off the boss man the other day and he want's a word with you" I started to panic was he talking about tooth? If he was I don't think I would be surviving this little chat

I rolled back in to the garage away from my attacker I would not be able to get in the car quick enough before they pulled me out kicked the crap out of me instead I moved to a metalwork table the 1st man laughed and he entered the garage the other 2 moved up blocking the exit

He got closer to me

Behind my back I had been pulling the lid off a tin unsure what it was

He grabbed hold of me and put his face right up to mine

"O.K I give up I said just don't hurt me" He laughed "And why would I do that?" "Because I'm a really nice guy but most of all because asked nicely" He roared with laughter again I took this opportunity to pull the tin round from behind my back turn my head and spray WD-40 in to his face

He screamed rubbing his eyes letting me go he dropped to his knees and I put one of mine in his face

Jack took this opportunity to gun the engine and drive straight at the 2 guys on the door they both dived for safety

I ran past them jumped in the car and we sped off

Jack was laughing "That didn't seem very fair" he said

I laughed to despite my aching head "I don't believe in fair I believe in winning take a left here" Jack laughed again as we headed home
