Dead Weight/Issue 13

This Is Issue 13 Of Dead Weight, Titled The Truth Is Unfolding.

They walked into the strip club, the hanging lights just gently swinging from the roof. Flake grabs one. Tugging it down. A row of them fall onto the stage bellow. Carlos looks at Flake. Angry and confused. "Get behind the bar" Flake whispers, stepping back as a groaning could be heard.

A blonde woman lifts her head, the flesh peeling off under her eye. She stands. Mel at the ready to swing with her baby bump flashing.

"Watch out!2 Flake shouts, as many strippers stand up. Undead, ofcourse. A man stands up and so does some security gaurds.

Carlos rloads his gun. Robbie picking up broken glass and throwing it into the security gaurds skull. It sticks, throwing him backwards, but not killing him.

Flake jumps over the bar, Swinging his sword into one of the stripper's necks.

The last undead falls to the ground. They walk backstage and take their places. Robbie locks the door with the key inside and falls asleep.

--

The moon is over the building. Undead roam around outside.

Mel stands facing the mirror. A blood trickle dried in on it. She slowly takes off her shirt. Rrevealing her baby bump. A tear springs into her eye and slowly runs down her cheek.

"Are you alright?" A voice asks, lighting up a lantern and walking over to Mel. It was Carlos.

Mel hangs her head, leaning on Carlol's bare chest, closing her eyes.

She looks up at Carlos's dirty hair and his dark eyes.

He leans down, kissing her.

He reaches around and upclips her bra. Gently putting her on the ground and avoiding her baby bump as they lock lips and begin to have sex.

---

"Got everything?" Flake asks, throwing a bag over his shoulder.

They open the door. Heading out round the back of the club and walking up onto the motorway.

"Is this really the safest option?" Mel asks, worridly, shaking her ice pick around in her hand

"Its either this or going across the city" Flake mumbles, sliding his hand along with railing of the road, dust flying off with his touch.

They walk...Until the sun hits the midday mark in the sky. Flake stops for a moment. Looking at all the abandonded cars infront of them. Piled up and blocking the road.

"There is no way-"

A blood curdling scream is heard from the distance. Several runners, around 50 run around the corner.

"ShI RUN!" Flake growls, jumping over one of the cars.

Carlos jumps over, grabbing mel's hand and helping her over the car bonnet. Robbie edges his way around the car. Helping Mel and Carlos.

"No time to shoot! Just run!" Flake shouts. Another loud scream is heard.

"Is that one of them?" Robbie asks, sliding across a car bonnet.

"No time to check" Flake growls, sliding quickly under neath a car and out the other end.

"HEEEY, GET AWAY FROM MY TANKERRRR!" A voice yells, pointing to a tanker. Blocking the other side of the road completly.

"GET AWAY WITH YA'LL!!" He screams again.

"Yo homeless dude" Carlos says, grabbing him and throwing him down infront of where the runners would come on.

"Quickly!" Flake whispers, grabbing his sword and piercing the side of the truck. Helping himself up.

He climbs up and holds out his hand for Robbie, then Mel.

"Carlos! Come on!" He yells. Holding out his hand.

Carlos looks at the runners, then down to the unconcious crazy man.

He runs up, Jumping and grabbing onto Flake's hand. He is tugged up but falls at the last bit. His ankle making a cracking sound.

He screams with pain as he watches as the runners run around the corner.

"CARLOS!" Mel cries, reaching out to him. "COME ON!"

"JUST GO!" He demands, backing up quickly to the edge of a car.

"CARLOSSS!"

"You heard the man" Flake growls, grabbing Mel by the shoulders and helping her down off the truck.

Mel cries as the screams of Carlos could be heard. The runners rip into his skin. Other into the other mans.

"CARLOSSSSSSSS!"

"You enjoying your stay here...You not worried about others you said you used to be with?"

Sally sat at a fire. Everyone had gone to bed except from her and Mason. Who was asking her how she was.

"I think they are alright..." Sally hangs her head. "Hey, where is Tayna, havn't seen her"

"She is alright. Don't worry. She just get a little bump on the head and she is in the medical room."

"Can I see her?" Sally puts down her cup, looking at Mason.

He grins, standing up and taking a jug of water. Throwing it over the fire before picking up one of the bunrt pieces of wood. Hitting Sally over the head...
