Everyone wondered

Are you Tom Jackson?


"Well that's nice and all but I have my own problems people trying to kill me and all that" The man sniffed "Yes I heard about that I aso heard you killed one of them" "I didnt want to but it was self defence" "Mmm you dorealise everyone is struggling right now we need to band together" His tone was so calm almost like the world was not ending my tone was not "Then they can help their dam selves I'm busy and I dont paticuarly feel inclined to help people who ock me in rooms with viven's" "Viven's?" "It's Latin or something for undead the points is I'm leaving" I got up stormed past the man and opened the door a soldier was behind the door and he wasn't about to move

I slammed the door shut and stormed back to my seat "I'm staying" I took a swig of my beer "What do you want?" He paused and stared at his tea before he talked "Our world is changing Mr

Jackson" "Tom" "Sorry?" "Call me Tom Mr Jackson is my fathers name" "Very well look around the world has gone to hell their are few places in the country that are secure the police force has literally been destroyed the army cant defend against the Viven's as you call them and police the street" "I'm not a police man" "No I want something different from you we are recruiting normal people for new positions" "Such as?" "We are trying to build up a police force that will enforce law but we need a new department we cant use soldiers people wont talk to them or trust them the same with the police force, we need people who can walk the streets unnoticed to keep an eye on people" "You want me to spy? Wont that invade peoples right to private life? " He reached into a black folder took out a photograph and placed it in front of me "Privacy is at a premium safety is what we need look at the photo" I had it was an unpleasent site bits and pieces of the humanbody were scattered across a living room "Some one brought in their infected family member they got loose killed 9 people infected 3 more one was the poor fellow on the floor net to you " He indicated the corpse at my feet "We need a people who will respond quickly to incursions patrol the safe zone keep a watch for suspicious behavior and the occasional high risk job I am about to ask of you" "I get the feeling this job is gonna suck" "Yes your right, here" Another photo taken from a low flying plane a field  was shown with large walls made out of what looked like stacked up cars "This is Chepstow farm 276 miles away just outside of Manchester, the people here banded together with the army and built a mini fortress but their is a problem they are trapped" All the way round the compound a large moat of the undead "Yeah that is a problem are there many places like this?" "A few scattered around the country but back to the point the people here are dieing they are starving we cant do any more air drops our fuel needs to be rationed carefully" "Send the army then" "And engage them? They would be killed" "Well what lure them away? They will only come back" "Well you need to find a way to remove them permanantly" "Me?" "You are hired as a ghost you have you orders go see Stan he will give you what you need" "I never said I want the job" "Your friend has will you let him go alone?" "You over estimate how much I like him" "People are dying Tom will you leave them to die?" "I have family to worry about" "Yes on the return trip we sent the chopper over your house everything seems secure" He showed me another photo it was the flats "When was this taken?" "Early this morning they are fine for now Tom these people wont last much longer" I glared at the photo "Fine we will do this one thing after though we can walk away" "Fair enough" "And I want you to help me with something we brought a little girl with us her grand parents live here can you look into it" "I will don't worry I will make sure she is safe"  We shook hands and I left

I met Jon in the lobby and we talked about what just happened.

We arrived at a multi storet car park the entrance was guarded by soldiers they scanned our finger prints and we were allowed entry

We met Stan on the lowest floor he greeted us and walked us over to stacks and stacks of wooden crates "Glad to here you guys have joined up" "We didnt have much of a choice" "Yeah the boss always gets his way O.K I read your mission brief and I have loaded up a vehicle for you

We walked over to a jeep the most horrible shade of green you have ever seen in the back was water petrol MRE's Stan warned us they tend to back you up a bit

Sevral bags of supplies flares maps a tool kit maps various things "Whats over their" I wandered off from the jeep to a steel wire cage that had a load of cardboar boxes stacked to the ceiling

Stan came over "Fireworks some idiot went nut and started lighting them up attracted a load of those things so we confiscated them all" "We need to lure them these would help" "I'm not sure I would need to ask the boss" "Ask him then" Stan spoke into a radio and Kane's voice crackled in "Yes" "Sir you'r new recrutis want to take some fireworks to lure the creatures away that O.K with you?" "Give them what they need Stan" "Yes Sir"  We took 3 large boxes of fireworks and place them in the jeep "Oh one more thing here" Stan handed us a wad of bank notes "Their's £300 it's a descretionary fund get your selves some new clothes" "Money is still good here?" "Yep now your mission brief we have scouted a route for you from the plane thats relatively clear and loaded it in to the GPS and we have marked it out for you on the map in case you loose the link you need to lure the horde away from the walls, their are a lot of soldiers in that place we need to get them out so they can get here we need the reinforcements any questions?" "When you say we do you mean your comin to?" "Fraid not boy's" "He threw the keys to Jon "You will need to leave soon but take a couple of hours to yourselves"

We got new clothes with the money we also got Sky £20 worth of sweets she would stay in the church whilst we were away we sat and ate one last time before we headed for the Jeep.

We drove out through the sliding door Jon at the wheel "How do we get ourselves into these thing's Jon?" "Just lucky I guess" I opened up the map and we set off 270 miles away people were dieing and we were their only chance
