2 hours before the outbreak....
The newly-elected president of the United States Of America, President Tyler smile and waves to his supporters and approaching the podium that was set for him to make a speech. Some say it will be the speech of a century, some say it will be just a simple acceptance speech but little do they know the contents of the speech. For someone aged twenty-three, it was a huge achievement for him. Lars, one of his most trusted bodyguards are checking the parameters as usual.
Tyler : People of the world! This is the proudest moment for me and I will not forget it. Thank you for all of your relentless support since the start of the campaign until the day that I stand here. As promised, I will bring change to the country, to the world, to all of you. My first act will be.......
Somewhere in San Francisco....
A small cab just arrived right infront of two thousand square feet house. A young soldier that was just relieved from his duty. His name is John McGrady. The cab driver is helping him with the luggages.
Driver : That would be 25$, sir.
John : Alright, here you go. Thanks for the ride.
Driver : No problem, sir.
John stands and look at his house. Sigh as he was too tired from the journey he took but in the same time, he's glad that he is home, with his family. He lifts his bag and walks toward the small front porch of his house. He stops right infront of the door and press the doorbell. He heard a voice and a footsteps approaching. The door opened and he smiles.
John : I'm home.
Diana : John? Oh my god!
She hugs him so tight and a tear of joy is flowing from her right eye. She then kiss him.
John : Where are the others?
Diana : Jake! Lena! Come down here, I have a surprise for both of you!
Rushing footsteps can be heard from the upstair and two young children can be seen descending.
Diana : Look who's here....
Lena/Jake : DADDY!!
Both of them hug their dad.
John : I miss you two so much. Now now, have you two been a good kid when daddy's not here?
They nod.
John : Good.
Diana : Let me carry your bag, sweetheart. Go upstair and take a shower. I will prepare for the dinner.
John : Is our favorite restaurant still open?
Diana : Yes.
John : We'll eat there. This is something we should celebrate anyway. I'm home and married to the beautiful woman in the world.
Diana giggle and kiss John. John goes to his room and get himself clean and ready. An hour later, the whole family gathered in the living room and leaving the house. They get into small little FIAT car and drive to town. Half an hour later, they arrived at a simple and small restaurant.
Receptionist : How can I help you?
John : Table for four.
Receptionist : Right this way.
The receptionist escort them to a small round table with a candle lit on the middle of the table. They ordered their foods and waiting to be served. Half an hour later the food is served and the family enjoy their feast. Suddenly, an emergency broadcast is appear on the restaurant televisions.
ALL CIVILIANS ARE ADVISED TO STAY INDOOR. THIS IS NOT A TEST. ALL CIVILIANS ARE ADVISED TO STAY INDOOR. THIS IS NOT TEST.John : What the f-. Hey!
He approaches one of the waiter.
John : What is going on?!
Waiter : I don't know! But please stay on your table. Your safety is our prior-
John : Fuck this.
Suddenly a loud but far bang shocked the whole building. People on the streets started to panic and run for their life. All people in the restaurant started to get panic. Then, a scream can be heard coming from the kitchen. A man with blood sprouting from his neck emerge from the kitchen's door and everyone surprised. A strange-looking man is walking toward the man and start to devour his body which make everyone run away from the restaurant. John grabs his family and escort them out of the restaurant. Outside is chaotic. Screams and gunshot are filling the emptiness. They run to their car and start the engine. Suddenly, a zombie-like human are banging his head against the driver's windshield. John reach the glove compartment where he stored his gun.
John : Back off or I'll shoot!
The creature seems to ignore John's warning and keep banging his head. John fires through the window and blow the creature's head off.
Diana : John! They're watching!
John : Who?
Diana : Your children!
Lena started to cry and Jake try not to cry but calming his little sister. They drive away from the scene.
Diana : Where are we going, John?!
John : Somewhere safe. The town is in great danger. The broadcast, the attack.... It's better we go for outskirt.
Diana : Tell me what happened...
John : As far as I know, this was some kind of outbreak that mutating any vulnerable human that are prone to what the fuck ever it was.
After hours of driving, They stumble upon a barricade road with armed soldiers. One of the soldier approach their car while aim his gun toward them.
Soldier : Sir! I want you to step out of the car with your hands up! All of you!
John : I'm Sergeant McGrady and just got back home from my p-
Soldier : Get out of the car and put your hands up!
Slowly John steps away from his car and on his knee, with his hands up.
Soldier : Stay there!
The soldier walk back to his post and report the situation. John can hear the conversation but feel distraught by it.
John : No, no! You can't do this! Please! Let my wife and kids go!
The soldier reports back to his radio and his face changed.
Soldier : I'm sorry...
Soldiers formed their line and ready to fire their rifle. Suddenly the place are overwhelm by the coming horde of infected. John grabs his kids and wife and rush them to their car. Unfortunately, the infected are chasing after them. John see a military truck and put their child inside the back of the truck. When Diana want to get in, the truck speed off and separate them. John chase after the truck but slowly the truck getting distances.
John : Shit. Jake! Listen to me! I want you to look after your sister. Your mother and I will find you! I promise! Protect your sister!
Jake : Dad...no...I...
John : Listen to me! Trust me, I'm gonna look for you!
The truck getting further from John's reach and slowly leaving him. John runs back to his wife and found her among lying and injured from the gunshot and biting wound.
John : No, no, no, no.....
Diana : John....*cough*. I love you....
John : Please, Diana, stay with me!
