Disbelief

I looked over the side of the bed and immediately had to hold my breath. Sitting there was Aaron’s sister, an the other Brute in that house.
I turned and looked at Allen an said,”this is that boy’s sister”.
Allen froze he didn’t know what to say. He fumbled his words around a bit an asked if we should burry her for him and said he can experiment with the other Brute.
“I think that would be best”, is what I had told him as we pulled the dead Brute out.
The first thing I noticed was how rugged the skin was. The best way I could discribe it as would be thick dried leather.
The next thing I noticed was that the blood stayed blue when coming into contact with the air. Allen said he thinks the DNA possibly mutated for it to happen, but he wouldn’t know until he started his tests on her.
We moved the body into his RV where the Mather bedroom should had been there was a operating table set up. What scared me the most about this mad scientist was there was already blood on that table.
While I was looking at the dingy spots on the table Allen noticed. “Those were from some animals I collected in the wild that had the original virus, before it turned into whatever this was,” he had said. After a slight pause he went on to say,”that’s how I ended up with this mobile lab to begin with. After the virus mutated to were it can effect humans the state made 100 of these bad boys for reasurch.”
“I bet they didn’t think that some s**t like this was going to happen”, I let out a sigh as we plopped her up on the table.
A little while later, after helping Allen get set up I herd a pompous voice radiating outside.
“Tom get out here I need to speak to you right know”.
I looked at Allen and he had a crooked smile as he pat me on the back. I rubbed my temples, as I went to go find out what Linda wanted.
“What do you want know”? I asked coldly. “Can I get a ride to town so I can grab some of my things”? She asked.
I turned and looked at her with a puzzled expression. Sarcastically I asked lDo you think your on vacation here or something”? She went to say something, but I interrupted. “You realize that Brandon and me almost died right. Your lucky he is smart or he wouldn’t be here. I know you don’t care much for me, an you would be willing to throw me at them, but how stupid are you really to sacrifice your own self”?
She looked appalled when I said that and mumbled a few things under her breath before saying, “well can you give me a car and gun and I will go myself”.
“Go sit down and just shut up Linda”. I thought to myself before saying, “are you really that stupid do you really think that it’s a picnic out there, s**t those things are scary strong and weirdly smart. Hell I watched out open a damn door”.
Allen and Andrea both had there jaws unhinges wham I said that. Apparently I was the only one that took the time to observe that at the time.
Linda still persisting to go I finally gave up stopping her. I gave her the keys to the cop car, a pistol, some extra magazines, and a radio. She called for Brandon to go with her, but Libby and Andrea both stepped in.
“You realize he is just a child right”? Libby said in utter disbelief.
“Yea my child what’s your point since Tom is to scared he can help me”, Linda said as she smiled slightly.
Andrea looked at her dumbstruck and said, “Lady I can’t tell if you are a text book narcissist or your just plain crazy, but I’m not about to let you ruin this child’s life because you are a nut case”.
“Fine f**k it”, Linda said as she slammed the cop car door. “Open the f*****g gate”, I herd her yell, as the gate was opening.
Luckily Brandon wasn’t close enough to hear what was said. Andrea looked at me as I was swallowing head ache medicine. “So that’s what you had to live with”?
“Ya for 16 years that thing tormented me, now if you don’t mind I’m going to take care of anouther part of my head ache”.
I started her truck and drove it to the furthest corner of my land and parked to where now on could see me and Allen dig.
We buried the little girl and said a prayer. When we just got finished I herd my radio go off. It was Linda yelling to open the gate and to hurry.
I jumped in the truck with Allen an drove to the house as fast as we could. Thankfully Libby opened the gate to let her in before she rammed it.
Before I could ask her what happened I herd it. The sound that haunted me since the first time I herd it.
Whoop, whoop.
