Chapter 1: Unworthy. (1/2)

"Dad?"

He hears a sweet voice calling him.

"Dad wake up."

He slowly opens his eyes to notice that it's his son calling him.

"What is it Bentley?"

"Uncle Lenny is on the phone."

After hearing that, he slowly stands and sits on his bed then rubs his eyes a bit.

"What time is it?"

"It's ten in the morning."

He looks at the window to see that it was morning already. He must have slept on the couch again while watching TV.

"Bring me the phone."

"Already did."

He looked up and notice that he was already holding the phone in his hand.

"Thanks, can you bring me a cup of coffee?"

All that the boy does is point at the little table in front of the couch, there was a nice cup of coffee in it.

"Thanks Bentley."

The child was his nine year old son Bentley.

He picks the phone from the boy's hand and answers it. Bentley just goes and sits besides him to watch Tv.

"Hello?"

"Finally! The fuck took you so long?!" The voice in the other side spoke.

"What do you want Lenny?"

Lenny is his younger brother. He's a trouble maker.

"I need you to pay my bail."

"Again?"

"C'mon Benjamin."

The man's name is Benjamin.

"What did you do now?

"It was just some umm..."

"Let me guess, drugs again?"

"No... umm... Bar fight."

"Oh for fuc-" He stops himself before cursing because Bentley is sitting besides him. "Where?"

"Atlanta Police Department."

"Fine. I'll get there as soon as I can."

"Wai-" Before Lenny could finish, Benjamin hung up the phone.

"What was this time?" Bentley asked his father.

"Bar fight." Benjamin answered.

"Again?" Bentley loves his uncle but even he knew how he was problematic. "Didn't aunt Nancy made him quit?"

Nancy is Lenny's girlfriend, they're not married but Bentley calls her aunt.

"She's in Macon visiting her parents." Benjamin explained. "Lenny doesn't really have a lot of self-control without her around."

Bentley changed the Tv channel. "Police Reports inform that he bit his wife's neck before police shoot him down severa-" The news report spoke before Bentley changed the channel again.

"Are you going there to get him?" Bentley asked his father.

"Yes." Benjamin confirmed. "My only day off and your uncle chooses this day to screw it up."

He stands up from the couch and goes to the Bathroom. He washes his face a bit and checks his face. He's is a handsome tan-skinned man with straight dark brown hair, light green eyes and a dimple in the middle of his chin. He has a crew cut and medium stubble beard.

"Gonna shave?" Bentley asks from the couch.

"No, gonna let it grow a bit more."

Bentley is the spitting image of his father, with only two things that differentiate them. Bentley has blond curly hair and grey eyes.

"Can I play at Clementine's house until you get back?"

Clementine is the daughter of the neighbors Ed and Diana and Bentley's best friend.

"Only if her babysitter is ok with it."

Ed and Diana took a trip to Savannah and left Clementine with a babysitter. Sandra is her name.

"She will, don't worry."

"Then go get dressed."

Bentley quickly turns around and runs upstairs. He came back down only three minutes later wearing dark blue jeans,white shirt with red collar and sleeves and black and white canvas shoes.

Benjamin on the other hand, put on a black t-shirt with a red and black flannel shirt on top,light blue jeansand brown work boots.

(Knock,Knock,Knock)

Benjamin knocked on the door until a girl in her late teens answered.

"Hello?" She greeted him.

"Hi Sandra." Bentley greeted her.

"Oh hi Bentley." She greeted in return. "Clementine is at her tree house."

Bentley quickly entered without bothering to ask if he could.

"Sorry about that, I have to do something in the city and he really wanted to come here today." Benjamin explained.

"It's okay, Clementine is gonna be happy that he came today." The girl bit her lip a bit while staring at him.

"I'll come back before dawn. Sorry for the trouble again." Benjamin apologized.

Benjamin then walked back to his house and entered his car, a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria and drove off to Atlanta.

Bentley:

The first thing he did once he entered the house was run straight to the tree house. He passes through the glass door which was open and climbs to tree house. He knocks on the wooden door four times.

"Who's there?"

Bentley just opened the wooden door and entered.

"Me." Bentley spoke while putting his head inside.

"Hi Bentley." Clementine said with a smile.

Bentley looks at her and notices that she's still wearing the same baseball hat.

"You still wearing it?"

"It's my favorite hat."

Bentley gave that baseball hat to her two months ago. She's been wearing every since, he honestly wonders if she ever takes it off.

"Did you dad let you come here today?"

"Uncle Lenny got arrested and he went there to get him out."

"Again?"

Bentley just nods. "Are you parents coming home today?"

"They said that they will be back either tonight or tomorrow morning."

"Oh, That's good."

"Let's play a game."

Benjamin:

The ride to Atlanta was peaceful to say the least. He did notice something strange in the road, like cars and helicopters going into the city. Benjamin didn't really paid attention to it since it could probably be a robbery or something. All he wanted to do was get Lenny and then go back home to enjoy the rest of his day off.

It took him two or three hours to get to the police station. He parked the car wondering how much his bail were going to cost him.

He left the car and entered the police station and as soon as he passed through the door, he noticed that there was something wrong. There was only a few cops at the station and there were phones ringing and cops walking around. Benjamin just walks around the place trying to understand what was going on. As he got closer to the front desk, he can hear some yells coming from the phones. Telling who ever was on the other side to stay calm or something like that. Benjamin finally gets to the front desk.

"Excuse me?" He tried to ask but there's no one there to attend him. "Hello?"

Out of nowhere a bald headed officer who was sweating a lot, came out from the door behind the desk. His neck was bandaged to which looked like some type of bite. Benjamin was wondering if it was a dog bite or something.

"Hello." The officer talked like someone out of breath. Benjamin really think that the man should go to a hospital or something because he doesn't look too good. But it was none of his business.

"Sorry, I came here to bail my brother." Benjamin explained. "His name is Lenny."

"Ah, yes." The officer spoke like someone about to pass out. "He's actually free to go. The man he fought in the bar didn't press any charges."

Benjamin had a urge to slap his forehead. His day off wasted. Lenny was already gonna be release and there was no need of him to go there.

The officer signaled him to follow him into the back jail cell. Benjamin follows him without asking any questions. The phones that were ringing early became less and less loud as they walked to the cells and then all became strangely quiet. The walk didn't last long, as he sees his brother siting on the floor of the prison cell.

Lenny is a tall and slim guy, with long shoulder length light brown hair and dark green eyes. He's not as tall or as handsome as his brother. He's wearing matching blue denim jacket and jeans with black leather boots and a white tank top.

"There you are." Lenny said as he stands up from the floor. "What took you so long Big B?"

The guard opens the cell and lets Lenny out. Lenny straight grabs Benjamin in a hug. Then he looks around a bit.

"Where's Little B?" He asked.

"I'm not bringing Bentley to a police station Lenny." Benjamin spoke.

"Right. Can you give me a ride home."

"Sure. It's not like I have something else to do other than to drive your ass around." Benjamin spoke with a lot of sarcasm in his voice. "Thanks officer." Benjamin turned around to thank the officer for the help. But the moment he did, the officer collapsed into the floor. "Officer?"

"Hey." Lenny got close and knelled down to check on him. He first removes the bandage that is on his neck. "Shit. This shit looks really infected."

Lenny's girlfriend is a nurse, so he knows a bit about it. But even Benjamin could tell that it was definitely infected.

"We should call a ambulance."

(BANG,BANG,BANG,BANG)

Suddenly they start to hear gun shots being fired. Benjamin can tell that the shots are coming from the room that he came from with the officer.

"What the fuck is going on?" Lenny asked.

Before Benjamin could answer, he sees the officer moving. "Officer?" When he called for him, the officer growls and jumped off the ground and tries to grab Benjamin. Benjamin falls back while the officer growls tries to bite him. "AAhh! Holy shit!" Benjamin yells as he tries to push the officer off him, luckily he managed to keep him away before he could bit him.

Lenny quickly grabbed the officer and pulls him away from Benjamin. "Hey! Get the fuck off him!" But as soon as Lenny pulled him off, the officer turned around and attacked him instead. Lenny quickly put his hand at the officer's jaw to try to keep him from biting him.

Benjamin quickly stood up and grabbed the handgun that was in the officer's holster in his belt. "Stop or shoot!" Benjamin yelled at him. But the officer ignored him and kept attacking Lenny.

(Bang) Benjamin fired in the leg but it didn't do anything to him. But it gave Lenny a memento to push it away.

"Fuck off!" Lenny said as he pushed the officer away. The officer felt on the floor and tried to stand up one more time.

"Stay back or I swear I'll shoot!" Benjamin snapped.

The officer just kept going at them.

(Bang)

Benjamin fired another shot, but this time it hit it in the head.

"Holy shit Big B." Lanny exclaimed as he tried to catch his breath.

"AAHHHAHHHAH." Out of nowhere they heard a scream coming from the other room.

"What the fuck is going on?" Benjamin asked.

The two brothers decided to go check it out. They walk past the body of the officer and walk back the way that Benjamin came from. Making their way back they start to hear even more gunshots and screams. Benjamin is holding the gun he grabbed from the officer tight.

As the two arrived in the main hall of the police station, they noticed several corpses and bullets on the floor.

"Jesus Christ." Lenny said as he stared at the corpses on the floor.

But then out of nowhere, another person who was growling like the officer. Benjamin quickly points the gun at it.

"Benjamin shoot!" Lenny told Benjamin as the person gets closer.

Benjamin reluctantly pulls the trigger again. The bullet hits the person in the chest, but he keeps advancing.

He fires three more shoots. It hits the chest,arm and stomach but it keeps advancing. Lenny quickly pushes away with a kick. Benjamin fires another shot but this times it hits it in the head. With that the thing finally falls into the floor.

"Shit." Lenny cursed.

"Come on, my car is outside." Benjamin spoke.

The two go to the door which leads to the entrance. But as soon as they open it.

"Oh shit." Lenny said as they opened the door and noticed several more of those monsters.

The monsters noticed the two of them and starts to walk towards them.

"Fuck." Benjamin spoke.
