Dead End || Daryl Dixon

Chapter Six

The trip get away came and went too quick. I went back to work and Daryl was going on a hunting trip with his dad, Merle since he just got out of prison and their Uncle Jessie.

I pulled into the parking lot of work, I sat there for a second with my head resting against the head rest. I had a 24 hour shift starting in 10 minutes and I needed to work up the courage to go in.

My phone dinged and I looked to see a text from my dad.

Be safe, weird virus thing going on but not much details

I sighed heavily before making my way into the building. Little did I know my dad was not kidding. There was a virus thing going on and I couldn't even tell you what was going on. We lost a dozen or more patients in one night. Leaning that the only way to kill said virus, is by killing the infected but it could only be the brain.

I tried calling my dad off and on for hours while the nursing home was on lockdown. Nobody out, nobody in.

I just wish I would have know just how long we were going to be in this lockdown.

"G, you have any idea what's going on?" I asked, as we watched the news in the lounge. We were trying out best to keep the residents calm while we tried to figure out what's going on.

"I'm not sure, but my brother are on their way here. Says we need it hunker down for a while. At least until this all blows over" he explained and I nodded.

We had the radio playing the emergency broadcast.

** Warning, this is not a test.
Stay inside, we repeat stay inside.
Avoid all contact with anyone who is or may be infected.
This virus is causing irrational behavior along with canablism.
We repeat stay indoors.
If one comes in contact with an infected person, go for the brain**

I stared wide eyed up at Guillermo. "G, Dr. J there are angry family members out side wanting into to see their families. "Only allow the ones who currently have live family members. If they choose to take their family. Let them. In a couple hours this place goes on completely lockdown." G said and we both started making our sweeps.

"This is crazy" I whispered. A shrill scream caused both G and I to take off running, when we made it to the source. Mr. Martinez was taking a bite out of Mrs. Griffus' neck.

I stared in shock as two nurses and G pulled Mr. Martinez off of Mrs, Griffus. I could barely move as I watched G take out a knife and stab Mr. M in the head. His body instantly falling to the floor.

I rushed to Mrs. griffus' side, taking towels and pressing them against her neck. "Mads there's nothing we can do" he said as Mrs. G fell limp.

"G. What the hell is this?"

I know this is super short but I needed to get a small filler chapter the set the scene for Madison at the begging of the apocalypse.
