Munks 4 Dead
Being unable to carry Alvin and Brittany's bodies, Simon, Theodore, Jeanette and Eleanor vowed to hold a memorial service in their honour. As they approached the front doors of the hospital all four were crying uncontrollably. Fortunately the elevators were at least working so they could get to the helipad quickly. They appeared to have used up all of their bad luck, Simon thought.
After a slow thirty floors they finally reached the top where two soldiers were there to greet them. Helping the boys and girls up the ladder to the helipad the soldiers explained they would need basic physical test to check for infection, especially Simon. Hearing the news hit Simon harder than Alvin himself. Was there a possibility that he was infected? Could he meet the same fate as Alvin? Due to his injuries, Simon was first.
'Is there a cure?' he asked nervously as the doctor tended to his wounds and shined a small torch in his eye
'Well we might be able to develop one as soon as we find out what causes such aggression' he said simply
'How fast?' Simon said apprehensively
'Well I wouldn't worry about it, you and your friends don't appear to be infected'
Relief seemed to almost carry Simon out of the room with those words
'Really? I'm fine?'
'Yes. The infection seems to travel by the transfer of saliva, that means biting, kissing or any contact with the mouth at all. He appeared to of only scratched you, you're a lucky boy son'
Silently, Simon disagreed.
20 minutes later
'Now Mr Seville and Miss Miller is it? Your children are safe and sound with no signs of infection, however they all need their rest, Simon especially, so we'll fly you all out of town to a safe hospital where you'll be able to see them when they wake up' smiled the doctor
'Thank you so much doctor' Dave smiled back 'for everything'
'It was my pleasure' he said pleasantly
'Is there any word on Brittany and Alvin?' Miss Miller burst out
'…Yes we did ask the children about that…'
'And?' she pressed
'Well…unfortunately they were both infected, but are now at peace…I'm sorry' the doctor said solemnly before walking away
Miss Miller and Dave simply stood there in disbelief. Life would never be the same.
