Joseph smiles wickedly as he drives down the empty main street. Driving over bodies and making them pop with blood and organs. Bear tried not to watch the gory scene. Focussing on where to get supplies.
Bear: so theres an old wood store off main street. It might still have sone materials. Plus the auto parks store across the street from it.
Joseph: you sir Bear. Are a genius and there we shall start!
Joseph pressed down on the gas pedal somemore. Almost drifting as he drove around the main street intersection. And towards the old store on the left. Behind a small shady barber shop. There stood a tall and rusty chain link fence. There was sharp and jagged barb wire at the top.
The only thing seperating the two men from inside the place was just a simple chain lock around the handles. Joseph pulled up and parked right next to the gate. Getting out of his truck and stepping into the panhandle heat of the sun.
Bear did the same and stepped up to the lock. He eyed it curiously. Picking it up and checking it over. Thats when he set the lock down and picked up a thick peice of wood.
Then like a mad man. He staryed the scream and beat on the lock. Only causing his thick wood to snap and break and shatter. Making the man upset. But Joseph looked at Bear with disapproval and went into the pickup truck.
Joseph motioned Bear to back up and Bear complied. Moving to a maximum safe distance. Watching joseph with curiousness and caution.
Joseph just revved the trucks engine and took off straight into the gate. Smashing the two swinging peices open. Peices of barb wire lay on the ground but the fences were fine. The lock was destroyed. But they got in.
-----------------------------------------------------------
As Joseph drove over a few peices of rotten wood. Bear walked in behind the pickup. He grabbed any board or plank of wood. Then just tossed it into the bed of the truck. Joseph parked and got out to look around.
Joseph: Alrighty. Looks like there might be a few things here we can salavage.
Bear: It might not be too much. I say if we dont find something here. Then we go to the grain elevators. I know they have all kinds of shit we can grab. Plus grain and other types of feed.
Joseph: That sounds nasty as fuck but alright.
Joseph saw a stack of plywood boards rotting away. He smiled and walked towards them. Bear gollowed along and the two picked up board after board. Gathering every single one up. Joseph did alot of wood lifting while Bear took breaks to find nails and screws. He found a full plastic box full of nails and a few hammers strewn about the area. This made both men happy.
Time passed quickly, and the old lumber mart was cleaned out. The pickup still had room for more, and more was going to be needed. So with a consecutive nod. They got back in the pickup and started to drive away to the feed mill.
Those tall cement structures stood above the entire town like a sore thumb. It was the grand sight to see. Full of grain that remains untouched. No one to touch it. Along with countless boards and wooden bits strewn about on the grass beside the building. Which made it a prime target for supplies.
The loud purr of the engine crept its way to the large open lot of the feedmills. Large signs showing the name, Prestage Farms. The truck came to a stop and the two men inside looked up at the tall sight. Then got out of the truck and stretched.
Joseph: So this should be fun. Who knows whats up there.
Bear: yeaah... I kinda want to skip this place...
Joseph: eh. We at least have to do this. Its for the group. Whose names im still learning.
Bear, sighing heavily: Fine. Lets just get this over with.
The two men walked off to the field of grass and picked up random peices of steel. Bear drug a car door all the way to the bed of the pickup. Jospeh had to help after Bear took 13 steps.
After some time, they had the bed full of scrap metals and wood. Along with a few extra bits to create weaponry out of. The two smiled and looked to each other. But that was soon stopped to the sound of screams erupting from the top of the Grain Elevator.
From up above was a man and a girl. Stuck and trying to fend off three walkers that had them trapped. The man had gained the upper hand on a female walker and shoved it off the building. Causing the walker to slam and collide into the ground. Fracturing every bone within it.
The corpse was a mere splatter on the ground. Still thrashing and trying to move its paralyzed limbs. Gnawing at the air. Bear turned away and threw up on the ground while joseph sat on the hood of the pickup and just watched.
Joseph: this should be interesting.
The man and woman pushed two fat walkers back and grabbed bungee cords that lined the railings. The two helped tied each other and then they peered to the ground. Seeing Joseph and Bear below. They lightly smiled as they had their salvation below.
As they were about to jump, the walkers cane back and pushed them off. Falling with them towards the ground. The walkers smashed and exploded into bits of blood and organs.
The man and woman werent so lucky. The woman was immediately slammed into the concrete wall and smashed her rib cage open. The flesh containing it all inside burst on contact and sprayed the area a horrible red color.
The mans bungee cord slipped from around his waist to his neck and slammed him into the concrete. Breaking his arms and slashing his gut open on the females exposed rib bone. Letting his guts fall out onto the ground while he choked to death. Forcing the two to hang there and die slow painful deaths.
Bear: oh my fucking god... Thats horrific. What can we do?
Joseph: absolutely nothing because they are dead. We can go home tho-
Gun fire started to erupt in town and the sound of truck tires screeching alerted the two. On the street beside the Elevators, drove a black pickup and a man with an assault rifle pointed out the window. Firing blankly at Bear and Joseph. Bear screamed and rolled under the pickup to avoid being shot. Joseph just stayed sitting down on the hood as the bullets shot all the way around him.
Joseph just giggled as he watched the pickup drive away.
Joseph: dayum. They have terrible aim. Anyway. Shall we head on back now?
Bear: i... Im ok with that if you are.
Joseph smiled and slid off the hood ans opened the truck door. The bullets had ruined the windshield and door a little bit but wasnt bad. That tired didnt get popped. Joseph started the truck and it roared with a purr. Bear had quickly got up and inside the pickup. Promptly locking the door.
Bear: f-fuck... This is all fucked...
Joseph: yeah but at least its not us. Plus it could always be worse.
Bear: very true... And i dont think its going to get better... This may not be that bad.
Joseph: exactly my point. You catch on quickly my dear Bear. Now lets go home.
Joseph proceeds to drive away from the area. Leaving all of the corpses there to rot or sit on display. The blood splattered on the elevator was visible for the whole town to see. Let them know of the death thats here.
Soon it was afternoon and they pulled up to the gare of the football feild. Arianna stood there. Covered in blood and worried about sonething but was unknown of why to the two me. They drove in and parked by the consession stand. They swiftly got out and went to Arianna. Pheobe and Don walked up but no Ezekiel was present. They also noticed graves and an arm in the fire pit.
Joseph: ughhh.. What all did we miss?
End of episode.
