THE DEADLINE

NEW SYSTEM(CH 8)

It's morning with Swayam and Elijah in the forest grabbing wood as Elijah says,'Well,I am in the mood of having something sweet' for which Swayam says,'Well,there can be some honeycomb here and I will suggest you to not to do any stupidity if you don't want to be the lunch of a zombie or maybe some zombies' and then they are joined by Jonathan who says,'Well,you don't need to work now.We got enough wood now' as Swayam asks,'Well,let me ask you something.Why did you guys blasted those gas tanks?' for which Jonathan responds,'Well man,if you don't know then we were actually going to Santa Maria when we saw a crowd of zombies via our binoculars,so we decided to attract them through a wild goat towards the oil station where we set some extra bombs.The goat got killed but then the zombies were coming so we didn't saw you guys.Pete had a rifle so he took the shot but then we saw you guys,who in the world told you guys to park your cars behind those tanks.We could have seen you guys and there would have been no loss' and then Swayam says,'Well,I don't think we will need to argue now.Even we were going to Santa Maria for medical supplies and treatment of David but thanks to that guy,Mohit. One more thing,our main destination was either California or San Francisco' with Jon saying,'Even we wanna go back to the Urban World.These few days are now like weeks' as Swayam says,'What are you guys waiting for then?' as Pete comes from nowhere and says,'It's my brother Kevin Daniels who is missing here.We are looking for him or maybe it's only me' as Jonathan says,'Well,we will find him Pete,cool down' as Elijah walks toward Pete,grabs his chin and says,'Hey my friend,don't worry.You will find him and now you shouldn't panic' but then Pete holds the hand of Elijah and punches him twice to make him fall on the ground. Swayam then angrily confronts Pete,'Hey dickhead,you don't touch him' as Pete slaps Swayam hard and says,'No one values more to me than my brother.Stop acting like an i***t' and then an angry Swayam wears knuckles and punches Pete making him bleed as he shouts,'You don't touch me,you son of a dirty urchin' as Swayam picks up Elijah and both goes.Pete then spits on the ground and then tells Jonathan,'Now that's a man'.

It's afternoon with the men sitting inside a tent as Gary says,'Well,so you guys are saying that we will have to help you guys to find a guy called Kevin Daniels' for which Travis responds,'Well,Mr Cooper.Yes,that's what we all want'.Mohit and Elijah are quiet as a mouse with Pete staring at them in an angry manner with Swayam then saying,'Well,I get you.We should probably make a team,I suggest,we start tomorrow.Some of us gets out,search for him and then we should meet at San Jose coz that's the nearest route and is probably more safe than California City'.David then asks,'The team?' and then Mohit says,'David......umm,Swayam....you speak Hindi?' as Swayam says something in Hindi language and then Mohit says something in that language with Pete asking in a rude manner,'What is that chipmunk saying?'.Swayam then says,'He said David shouldn't go,he is still not a hundred percent fit.One more thing that is this that neither he should go because he is too afraid' and then Gary says,'Well,I respect him for that acknowledgement'.Elijah then asks,'He understands our language but can't speak it' with Mohit telling something in Hindi again with Swayam translating that,'He says that he can understand it but can't speak it fluently'.Gary then says,'Forget that,I suggest that it should be me,Swayam,Pete and Elijah coz he's the best driver we got'.Travis then says,'Count me in because I am the only guy who can stop that psychopath from killing you guys,he is a freak' and then Jonathan says,'Pete may look weird to you for still caring for that i***t but he follows the phrases of Vin Diesel with a lot of respect'.Swayam then says,'Alright,tomorrow.Early morning' and then he gets outside of the tent.Jonathan then says,'Hey,I got some things to ask you' and then Jon gets up too.Gary then says,'Well,we haven't known each other very well so want some whiskeys?' for which Pete responds in a cheerful manner,'Believe or not you hairy bear but you earned my respect'.Gary then says,'Well,I fortunately took one box out before the blasts so I think we got plenty for now.Wait a minute,I will bring it all'.

On the outside,it's Ava,Phiwo,Amy and Konkona with Amy roasting something in bonfire as Ava asks,'What is that thing?' to which Amy responds,'It's a baby elephant's feet hunted by Pete sometime back.He's a tough cat and these things are what we are eating nowadays for survival' and then Konkona says,'Well,if you find it disgusting then there is something more disgusting which that creepy doctor likes.Rats!' for which Ava asks,'Is that doctor Chinese?' with Phiwo saying,'Well,don't stereotype but he is a bit weird so forget him'.Ava and Konkona then sits on top of a tree trunk where Phiwo and Amy were already seated as Ava asks,'Where are you guys from?' with Phiwo saying,'I actually am a former soldier.I had to step back from it for various injuries,it was just three weeks back and now with all this happening,it frustrates me'.Amy then says,'I am from Buffalo,NY.I don't wanna say much because I recently got divorced and you know that person as a matter of fact' and then Konkona says,'I am from India,right now,I am studying at Harvard,was studying to be more exact.I came to LA for vacation and don't need to explain more'.Ava then says,'Well,I should interfere in your personal lives obviously but I will hope you guys moving on'.Ava then gets up and walks towards the area from where someone can see the sea and the sun with Ava sitting on the rock and she then spots Swayam to her left who is viewing the sun just like her but he looks sad.

Back there,Jonathan and Pete are inside the caravan with Jonathan saying,'You know,those two idiots are smart idiots.We can be good friends and make a strong force,you know.I and Travis are going to the nearby town,we need some supplies and goods and it's a must need' for which Jonathan responds,'Well,I get it all.Safe journey' as Jonathan gets out and gets inside his monster truck with Travis joining him from the other side and then they leave the place.Elijah and Mohit are inside the caravan playing chess and then Pete walks inside and says,'You two nerds,listen.I am feeling too tired and will need rest so I want you two to clean my clothes and clean my car.When I wake up,I must be able to see my face in it' and goes. Travis and Jonathan are traveling in full speed but all of a sudden,the road has become foggy with Travis and Jonathan unable to see things as Travis says,'Well,we have to move safely otherwise we may hit something' as the car was going smoothly unless Jonathan gets a call on his transceiver and he picks it up just to hear nothing.He then finds Travis pranking with him as Jonathan tries to punch Travis in a act of joke but then the car hits a elephant and all of a sudden,the car wheels slips on some oil as there was some sort of oil spill there due to unknown reasons with the car hitting a tree there with Jonathan looking to his right just to see a fainted Travis as he looks to his right just to see a crowd of zombies approaching but Travis then closes his own eyes too.
