Issue 4 (Preview)
Lionell stands frozen as he reads the note he found next to him. All other players to be eliminated Lionell reads over and over again. He just can't seem to get this shit in his mind. Who would try to kill them all those bandits are dead, or at least he thinks so. Maybe it was a dream cause this couldn't be real. Lionell looks up and takes his eyes off the paper, where he can see Alfred and Walter just as confused as him. "This..." Lionell begins to say but doesn't even know what to think or say "This can't be real." He finally says. "Who the fuck would capture us and bring us to..." He looks around the ruined city to try and see where he is "...here."

"I don't even know." Alfred pipes from the wall he has been leaning on as he tried taking this all in. "All I know is we are here and so are forty five other people."

"That we have to kill." Walter remarks as he looks around the near area. He can see no sign of life or biters. Only a once great city turned into ruins. He makes his way back toward Lionell and Alfred, who stand just as confused as he is. "We need to get out of here. We can't just be in the open."

"Well where do we go." Alfred asks he just finishes reading the note Lionell handed him.

"Anywhere but here." Walter says as he begins to walk down the ruined street, ready for anything to jump at him. Alfred follows his lead and the two begin to walk down the street. But as they get half way down Walter soon notices Lionell still back where he woke up deep in thought. Walter, knowing Lionell is worried about something, makes his way back toward him. "What's wrong?"

"It's just that..." Lionell begins to say but is hesitant as not even he wants to think about what he is going to say. "If only one person can be left standing does that mean we have to kill each other?" The moment those words come out of his mouth Walter doesn't even know what to say. He would die for Lionell and sure as hell wouldn't kill him.

"Let's not think about that right now." Walter assures Lionell hoping both of them would forget about that. "Let's just keep moving and try figuring out what the fuck is going on." Lionell nods to this and he follows Walter down the street, where Alfred is waiting for them.

What the fuck  is the only thing Adam Greene can think as he paces around the room he woke up in, with the note in his hand. He doesn't even know where to behin to think. Does he think about his friends, The forty seven other people in this place or the fact he was just captured by some jigsaw creep. Not knowing what to pick he lets his mind choose and he begins to think about forty seven other people. Sure Adam can handle a few people but by the sound of it the people he is fighting could be trained killers. "Fuck this." Adam mutters as he exits the kitchen he woke up in and into the dining area. If there are forty seven people he wants to make sure none of his friends are one of them. "Jack!" He screams around the room hoping to hear the small voice of Jack. Nothing. "Lilly!" He tries screaming for. Yet unlike last time he can hear something. A voice.

"Hello!" He hears the soft voice of someone outside voice. "Adam!" He soon hears and he soon realizes it is Lilly. He runs out of the diner and into the open city following Lilly's voice. Once outside he can see the girl he fell in love with looking around the area with a confused look on her face. As she turns her head she soon sees the smiling Adam, who is just happy he found someone he knows.

She runs in his direction and without warning she pulls Adam in for a big bear hug. Adam can't help but smirk at this. "I didn't know what was going on." Lilly says as she releases Adam from the hugging trap. "I woke up with this note and some infected were around me. I barley got out of there."

"Did you read the note?" Adam asks as he holds up the now crumbled up note he found earlier.

"Yeah. So if we are two that means there are forty six other people out there."

"Yeah apparently." Adam mutters in his confusion and for the first time taking a good look around the city they are located in. "Any idea where we are?"

"Not a clue." Lilly says as she too looks around. But before she can say something else they hear some footsteps coming around the corner. Adam quickly turns and scans the area for weapons. He picks up the nearest thing which just so happens to be a brick and he ducks behind a car ready to strike who is coming. He soon sees a dark, scrawny man walk into view and Adam drops his brick in a smile. He is looking at Morgan.

"Morgan!" Adam calls down to the confused man who looks like he is trying to escape a dream. Morgan looks over to see who called his name and is shocked to see Adam and Lilly there, who just began walking over to him.

"Adam?" Morgan says confused as he is most likely as confused as they are. "That you?" Morgan then gets a more clear look at Adam. "Shit man I never had you in my dream before. I mean I had Lilly over there in some but she didn't exactly have all her clothes on--" Morgan begins to say before interupted by Adam.

"Your not in a dream first off" Adam says "And second off you dream about my girlfriend naked?" Morgan, who now realizes this is reality, seems to grow embarassed and figity.

"No..." He weakly says which causes a laugh to come from both Adam and Lilly. Seeing the two cracking up he lets out some small weak laughs before trying to change the subject. "What's going on?"

Adam, who just finished wiping a tear of laughter from his eye, goes back into serious mode. "No fucking clue. We both woke up with a note--which I'm guessing you did too." He says gesturing to the note sticking out of Morgan's hand.

"Yeah. So is this all true? I mean the games." Morgan asks hoping to get some answers from Adam, but Adam knew nothing either.

"I guess so. Whatever is going on, Hunger Games or some shit, is weird. I just say we team up and try finding someone else who knows what is going on." Adam replies with the only logical solution he can think of. Lilly and Morgan both nod in agreement and Adam begins to walk down the street when he remembers something. "One more thing. Never dream about my girlfriend again or I will kill you."

"Meh worth it." Morgan jokes before walking up the street.

"All other players to be eliminated." Leroy reads from the note as a stressed out Connor walks around behind him trying to think of what to do. Connor has seen many types of situation but this was one he has never even thought about.

"Crap crap crap." Connor mutters to himself not knowing what to do. "This can't be real." He says in denial in the truth trying to make himself believe this is all a dream.

"Seems real enough to me bro." Leroy assures him as he puts the note slowly on the ground, just in case it may be needed better.

"We can't kill other survivors. We're like 13 dude."

"Well how do you expect me to know man. I'm just the cool rapper. Your supposed to be the leader person."

"Well what am I supposed to do. If we encounter some sorta bandit adult group we are toast."

"Well then lets try to avoid that. I dont know." Leroy suggest but before Connor can reply they hear noises coming from outside the GameStop that they are in camped in. Connor glances over to the broken window and listens in carefully for the noise. He can hear light footsteps.

"Get down." Connor says and two duck behind the counter with both looking over it to see what the noise is. They can see the figure of what looks like a teenage girl who looks oddly familiar.

"I can see you guys." Akira calls out. "I been watching you guys for the past like five minutes."

"Geez stalkerish much." Leroy jokingly says to Connor before they both get up. "What are you doing here? I thought you went with Zain's group."

"I did. But I woke up down the street with this thing." She says holding up the note.

"What do you think of it?" Connor asks her as he picks his note off the ground.

"Should'nt be that hard. You just gotta know how to sneak up and kill people." Akira says.

"How would you know that?"

"I could have killed you five minutes ago and you didnt even know I was here." Akira smiles as she also holds up the knife she made of scissors and tape.

"She's gotta a point." Leroy inputs to which Connor nudges him to shut up.

"So you coming or not?"

"Alright fine. Let's go stalk people." Connor jokes as he walks out with Leroy and Akira.

Cole Pruitt walks down the street in silence just trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. Behind him Billie and Adam Dugall due the same. Each of them just trying to think of what is going on. All they know is that they woke up in DC which is miles and miles and miles away from the Hyatt. Not only that but they are trapped with more than three dozen other people. "So where do we go?" Cole asks his friends as he himself is all out of ideas.

Billie tries thinking of something but doesn't even know what to do. She thought she had been trained for all types of situations but this she never even thought of. "I don't know maybe we should find a weapon or something."

"There might be some by that bell noise." Adam suggest pointing in the direction of the bell, which seems like it has been ringing forever.

"But we can't be the only ones that hear that." Billie brings up since Cole and Adam seem to have forgotten that. "There could be tons of other people there for all we know."

"True." Adam mutters to himself feeling stupid for even bringing up the idea. He finds himself pacing around the street trying to think of things to do. "Maybe we can find a place to hide and just wait this out."

"I don't think there is a waiting out. Either infected or other people will find us." Cole says as he takes a seat on the worn out bench next to them. Cole struggles to think of an idea and hopes that something would come to them. Well something did come to them, but it wasn't what Cole hoped. Seeing Billie and Adam staring in shock at something Cole looks in the direction they are staring at and he sees what they are shocked about. Three people stand at the end of the street. Cole quickly jumps to his feet ready to act as Billie and Adam do the same. "We don't want any trouble." Adam says to the three men trying to persuade them to leave.

"Neither do we." A young black male steps foward. Lionell. "All we want is anwers."

"So do we." Adam says stepping foward. Behind him Cole and Billie get ready for a fight as does the itmediating white guy standing close to Lionell, Walter. "How bout we just leave each other alone."

"Or we could team up, huh? Six people is much better than three." Lionell once again says.

"How can we trust you?" Cole says stepping foward. "For all we know you could be trying to kill us."

"We can say the same about you." Walter steps forward ready for anything.

"Cause we decided to talk to you." Alfred calls as he figures it's about time he got in this. "We could have snuck around you and take you out one by one." Billie looks at Adam and Cole trying to see what they think. Cole can tell by the look in her eye that she thinks there right.

"So what do you say?" Lionell asks for an answer. Before anyone can reply a loud bang is heard and Adam falls to the ground, with a bullet in his stomach. Cole and Bille stand in shock and are only snapped out when another bullet is fired.

"Fuck." Walter mutters as he dives into a nearby alley with Lionell and Alfred right behind him. The gunman fires another bullet toward Lionell;s group giving enough time for Cole and Billie to get to Adam.

"Hang on buddy." Cole states as he and Billie pick Adam up and begin to go as fast as they can. They make there way down the street through some ruined cars as another bang rings out and the bullet barley misses Billie's face which causes her to fall over behind the car. Cole and the heavily bleeding Adam fall over behind the car as the gunman tries aiming for them.

Lionell looks at the three strangers trying to decide to help them or not. He doesn't have time to choose as he begins to hear of infected coming into the area. "Shit kid we gotta go!" Walter yells. Lionell takes one more look at the three and knowing they are dead meat, runs the opposite way with Walter and Alfred.

As they run out of the alley there way is blocked by the approaching infected. "Fucking shit." Lionell screams in anger as he pushes one infected away from him. Walter and Alfred climb ontop of a truck as Lionell pushes more infected away from him.

"Lionell up here!" Alfed yells and Lionell turns to run for the truck. However before he can take his first step he can feel the cold, hard teeth of infected dig into his neck.
