The End Of Life Chapter 146
Advertisement
Mark woke up when it was time for dinner, as he went into the living room he already noticed Kevin and the rest were back from playing a few games. Sitting next to him, he asked Kevin about the experience.
"It was alright, everyone was playing for fun. So it was all good " Kevin simply shrugged and replied. After eating a nice dinner, they all went back into their rooms and slept. Mark liked the feeling of resting after a long time. Even though he slept two times already, he still had a place for more sleep.
They all woke up the next day and ate a nice breakfast before David took the Jeep keys from Kevin and made his way out. He was looking forward to meeting the two kids they saved. He had this kind of mentality even before the disaster. He would always call back the patients he treated to ask how they were.
Turning the Jeep on, he quickly rode out of the building and turned towards the main campsite. He looked to the side and saw the two Berettas Mark gave him earlier in the morning to use if he faced any unexpected zombies. The Jeep eventually came to a stop, and he showed the pass he got from Mark to enter the camp.
After the guards verified the card, they let him in and he stopped the car at the same place as the day before and got down. He looked around to find the Colonel or his assistant. Mark told him that the man would roam around taking care of things. He searched around for ten minutes before finally making his way to the nearest soldier to ask.
"Em, excuse me. Do you know where Colonel Steve is?"

The soldier who was on rounds looked back and saw David. Sizing David, he asked, "And who might be asking?"
"I am with the group who came yesterday to the camp with the communication device. I would like to talk with Colonel Steve about something."
The Soldier immediately identified the man before him. Everyone knew the biggest news they received since the camp started and the people who handled it too. After knowing Steve was one of the people responsible to bring it to them, he relaxed a bit and answered, "I saw the Colonel go outside on some matters. If it is important, I can take you to his brother."
Hearing Steve wasn't in the camp at the moment made him feel dejected. But hearing his brother Denton might be in the vicinity made him feel hopeful and asked, "Please lead the way." The soldier nodded before leading him into another building and stopped before the familiar-looking Denton.
Denton was also doing rounds. After struggling and fighting with the zombies for the last few weeks, he finally rose through the ranks and became a lieutenant from an ordinary soldier. He got nothing free and had to go through the regular program as his father didn't show any leniency.
The soldier saluted to his superior and said in a respectful tone, "Sir Denton, this man is from the same group who brought us the communication device yesterday and said he wanted to meet Colonel Steve. But the Colonel went out on some work and so I brought him to you."
Denton nodded and looked at David. He recognized the man who was next to Mark when they came here the last time. He dismissed the soldier before stretching his hand and saying, "Nice to meet you again. Last time you guys were in a hurry and we couldn't introduce ourselves. I'm Denton Cox, a lieutenant here."

"Nice to meet you, lieutenant Cox, I'm David Warner."
"Please tell me what I can do for you, David."
David then asked him to meet the people they sent all the way from Loshin town to the camp as they were seeking refuge. After asking, he remained silent as Denton was thinking about it.
"Yes, now that you say about it, I remember people coming all the way from Loshin town and said it was Mark who sent them. But there are slight differences from what you said. There wasn't a vast group like you said, it was only two people, a boy and a girl in their teenage."
David's eyes went wide hearing this. He was shocked beyond belief. His thoughts became muddled after hearing that it was only two people who came to the camp.
'What happened to the others? It was the whole Loshin camo that we sent. Why are they only two people who came to the camp? What happened to the others?'
Denton noticed the unstable David and shook him before he asked, "David, David, get yourself together. Come, I'll take you to the place they are staying at now. I'm sure it's nearby." And David slowly nodded.
"Alright wait here, I'll ask where they are staying." And Denton walked off, leaving David alone.
David's mind was a complete mess. He saved the kids there and provided support for them. He was the one who suggested they come to this camp all the way from Loshin. He wanted them to live better after seeing their horrible situation in that city. As a genuine doctor, his heart always wanted everyone to live a wonderful life. His heart became heavier as he thought.
Denton didn't take long as he came back and noticed Downton standing like a statue. He patted him and said, "Alright, I learned where they are right now. Come with me. I will take you there. Did you come in your Jeep?"
Denton woke up from his thoughts when he heard him and lifelessly nodded.
"Alright, let me drive then. You aren't in the best place to do so." David handed him to keys and followed him to his Jeep. Both of them got in as David looked like a lifeless shell. Seeing the man like that, Denton didn't know what to say. In the past few weeks, he saw many people like this.

Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones.
