This is chapter four of World of Anarchy entitled: Family.

Chapter 4 - Family
The blue and red lights lit up the streets as police men entered David's house. He sat outside on the curb staring blankly ahead of him. A tall man wearing a suit came over and placed a blue blanket over David's shoulders.

"I'm sorry you had to see that . No should." The man said.

David didn't respond. He just sat there and let his tears roll down his cheeks.

"My name's Spencer. Spencer Jayden."

David took a deep breath and finally looked up at him.

"My name is David Andrews."

"I think we should really try to talk to Chris. He hasn't said one word since we left the city." Teresa said so that only David could hear.

They were walking down a backroad with trees blocking yhe sky over head. They could see Denton behined them and nothing but darkness ahead.

"No. I know what he's going through right now. He just needs some space. Besides, I killed his mom."

"Don't do that. There was no way you could've known who she was."

David looked back at Chris. Je was walking slower than them and was staring down at his feet.

"That's not gonna matter to him."

They continued walking down the path until they came to a fork in the road. David looked down both paths, but all he could see was endless darkness.

"Which way?" Teresa asked.

"I don't know. If I had my phone we could just use GPS."

A low humming noise from behined them drew their attention. They could see head lights coming towards them.

"Hey, maybe they can give us a lift." She said.

The truck slowed down and stopped right beside them. The driver rolled down his window and looked them. David could see a woman sitting in the passengers seat and a little girl between them.

"You three look like you could use some help." The man said.

"We're trying to get to Dallas," Teresa said,"The T.V. said the goverment set up someplace safe there."

"Well, we're goin' there too. You guys can ride in the backseat if you want a ride."

David walked over and opend the back door and let Chris, then Teresa get in first.

"Thank you." David said.

"Don't mention it. I mean, we gotta stick together when the world goes to shit, right?"

David hopped in right beside Teresa.

"Finally, something goes right." He thought.

"I'm Leo," The man said,"And this is my daughter Penny and my wife Anna."

"I'm David. This is Chris and she's Teresa."

"David huh. You look like hell buddy. What happened?"

"I had to kill a couple of those, uh, zombie things."

"I had to kill a couple of 'em too. We were on our way to California for vacation when all this started happening. Once we heard the news on the radio, I turned us around and started heading for Dallas. How about you guys?"

"We were at UNT when this started. Teresa's dormmate turned and attacked us, and we left to find my...friend Jim and his girlfriend. We found Chris alone in town and..here we are."

David looked over to Teresa and saw that she was talking to Anna.

"So you two are from UNT? My sister went there. Go Mean Greens." Anna said.

David then turned to Chris and Penny.

"Hi." Penny said peeking over her seat.

"Hi." Chris responded.

"Alright you two,"Leo interupted,"You need to get some sleep. It's already four-thirtie."

"But dad..." Penny whined.

"No buts little lady. Only sleep." Anna said.

Penny reluctantly layed her head in her fathers lap and drifted to sleep. Chris layed his head down on Teresa's lap and fell asleep too.

"We're only ten minutes away now." Leo said.

David nodded and looked out his window, watching the scenery fly by.

"Finally," he thought,"A moment to rest."

He let his mind drift away to what happend yesterday morning.

"Wakie wakie hands off snakie." Jim said to David.

"Hey, man...just five more minutes." He said as he rolled over in his bed.

"No can do. We gotta go get our bunch on with Jackie at the cafeteria."

"Fine, just give me a minute."

Jim left the room and shut the door behined him. David got up and walked over to his closet. He glanced at the clothes for a second, then grabbed the first shirt and pants he saw and put them on. David left his room and walked over to Jim who was waiting at their door.

"Could you be any slower David?"

"Shut up, man I just woke up. Why are you so hyper anyway.?"

"Jakie said she had something important to tell me today."

"So why do I have to be there?" David thought.

They exited their dorm and Jim began to head down the hall to the cafeteria. David closed the door behined them and turned to see Teresa and Jenna leaving their dorm as well.

"Hey David." Teresa said with a warm smile.

"Hey."

"You're up kinda early for you know, it being the weekend and all."

"Jim woke me up.He's all excited about something Jackie's going to tell him."

"Isn't Jackie's party tonight?" Jenna asked.

"Yeah, I think so."

"Man," Teresa said,"I really wanted to go, but I have to study for that exam on monday. Stupid exam."

"Don't worry, you won't be the only person not going."

"You're not?" Jenna asked.

"No, I don't really like parties, but knowing Jim he'll probably try and convince me--"

"Hey! Come on!" Jim yelled from down the hall.

David turned and flipped him off causing Teresa and Jenna to giggle. In response, Jim also flipped him off, but with a grin.

"Well, I guess I better get going."

"Bye."

David broke into a jog to catch up to Jim. Just as rounded the corner, he saw Jim only a few steps ahead. He slowed his pace once he caught up to him.

"So what do you think Jackie wants to tell you?"

"Who knows. Hey I want to show you something."

"Okay...what?"

Jim pulled him aside and took a little black box out his pocket. Jim opened it revealing a dimond engagement ring

"You want to marry me? Whoah man, I don't roll that way. And I don't think your parents would be too happy either."

"What? No, dumbass I'm gonna ask Jackie to marry me. What do you think?"

"I think, congrats man. You two are soul mates."

"Hey guys!"

Jim quickly stuffted the ring back in his pocket and turned to see Jackie coming towards them. She walked over to Jim and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Whatcha two talking about?"

"Oh you know...guy stuff."

"Guy stuff? Well, don't let me stop you."

"Actually, I gotta go. Bye." David said leaving them there.

"Almost there." Leo said.

David snapped out of his daydream. Teresa was asleep now and resting her head on his shoulder. He gently shook her awake.

"Teresa. We're almost there." He said in a soft voice.

"M'okay." She said with her eyes still closed.

"What do you think it'll be like when we get there? Anna asked Leo.

"Hell, I don't know. I guess the military will hand out shots or something."

David began to think of Jim and Jackie again. He couldn't belive he'd just left them there, but his rational side knew it was the right call.

"Oh no..." Leo said pulling over.

Leo quickly got out of the truck and walked a few feet ahead. Teresa was awake now.

"We there?" She saidlooking around.

David got out of the truck and walked over to Leo. He saw what Leo had now. He couldn't believe it.

"What the fuck?!?" Leo said.

In the distance they could see multiple buildings in Dallas explode. The smoke covered the sky like a great big grey blanket.
