Supply runs are always dangerous, but Moran insists on going alone, equipped with a falchion sword stolen from a museum that he keeps strapped between his shoulder blades. No guns; they are too noisy. No support scouts; they are a liability. Just him, his sword, his instincts. Itâs all he needs. All heâs ever needed. Occasionally, heâll take a bow and quiver of arrows that he makes himself, but today is supposed to be just a short run to a supply warehouse that his boss has had control of since the start of this hellish virus outbreak.Â
   Only, when he gets there, itâs not their usual workers keeping guard but swarm of the undead. Fucking. Perfect. Obviously, he canât leave it like that. He canât just... walk away and hope that some other fucking faction or even some goddamn kid sees wonât see this as an opportunity to dip in and take what they can. So he has to take matters into his own hands of executing security protocol number six. Total lockdown. And sweet jesus, it is a goddamn chore to do on his own.Â
   By the time he returns back to base, the sun has set. Hours. He is hours late. And heâs covered in blood. But Jim knows not to send out a search party for him. Mostly because if heâs hiding, the search party will prove to be exactly what heâs always claimed. A liability. And heâll end up having to go rescue them. Heâs let in through a gate at the side, the young kid manning it gawks at the blood covering him, but Sebastian doesnât even so much as smile or say something idiotic like you should see the other guy. Theyâve all seen the other guys. The dead. The diseased. The decomposing.Â
   Heâs given a wide berth as he makes his way through the collection of people Jim has collected along the way. When he finds his boss, finally, he stands and waits to be acknowledged. âArmstrong Road is in Protocol Six,â he says and briefly wonders if he should have bathed before checking in. But no. Not when heâs this late. âWeâll need to select a new team of guards to monitor it as soon as possible. The lockdown will only last so long against someone whoâs determined enough.â
