The group had continued forward without Zain. It had been a while, so it was clear he didn't just go for some kind of toilet break, but had gone off for a legitimate reason.
'I wonder what that kid is doing?' Kun thought. 'When we spoke about family before, he said he didn't have any right? So he couldn't be going back there, and he couldn't be going back to the university, not if he said he would be meeting us at the hospital.
'Whenever we ask him if he is hiding anything, he always say's he isn't, but surely this means that he is hiding something. That person is a strange person.'
The others were thinking the same, but they knew they had an important task at hand, and the coughing that was coming from Pink's mother was a reminder of that. Which allowed them to continue marching on.
"Brandon, there was a question, a question that Zian wanted to ask you." Kun stated. While they were walking they might as well get the awkward bits over and done with."He wanted to ask you about the Reborn group… What do you know about them?"
There was silence from Brandon, as he continued to walk in front of everyone. The streets seemed to be getting quiet as they got closer to the hospital. Whether that was a good thing or bad thing, it was hard to tell.
"Ah, so I see your interested in it as well. Honestly, I was just surprised by the name that was all. I mean the Reborn group? There's no real connection."
Although this was his answer, Kun wasn't so sure that he was still telling the truth… there had to be something else.
"Come on, you're like the SWAT captain for your squad right? The squad that protects and runs the city. Are you saying you've never heard of the name Reborn group?" With the extra questioning Kun was pushing for an answer, but with no further response from Brandon he was about to give up, until a thought had entered his mind.
'Maybe this will work.'
"Oh I see, well if you didn't know, I'm part of the Reborn group you see." Kun stated, with a smile hidden behind his mask.
It was then that Brandon had stopped walking for a second, and continued on forward. It was clear now that he did know something.
"I don't know much about them, and if you are really part of the Reborn group then you should know more than me." Brandon replied. "When I was working, the sergeant of the city had a meeting once. I was called in and there was a file that had the name Reborn group on.
"Honestly, I didn't think much of it, or even remembered that day till it was mentioned. The only reason why it was alarming to me as well, was because it was a week before this whole event started and by event I'm sure you know what I mean."
'
Kun definitely knew what he meant by those words, the thing was, he had no idea what was going on with the Reborn project for them to be involved with the city, and specifically this one. Because at that time, both him and Shark had already been turned.
Because of that, they were kept in containment cells, being observed for the time being, and only being let out once in a while, so as for what the company was doing at that moment, he had no idea.
"So tell me then, what type of group is the Reborn group, and I'm guessing that's where you learned to use that gun in your hand." Brandon asked.
Starting the open question, Kun had thought that it might lead to this, which was why he didn't want to do such a thing in the first place.
"Sorry, that was a lie, I just wanted you to tell me what you knew." Kun shrugged his shoulders. "I knew you were hiding something, but honestly, I used to serve in the military for two years after leaving school. Never went to university or any of that stuff, and I was just pretty good, if I do say so myself."
It was hard to know whether or not Brandon would believe what he had said, but at the end of the day it made things clear. Kun wasn't going to talk about it, and he wasn't willing to. At the same time, Brandon hadn't asked any more questions.
Finally, they could see the hospital in sight. It was on a main road, and it was extremely large, with a natural high wall around it. There was no barbed wire on top though, so if someone was skillful enough, they should be able to climb it, but they still could only enter through one entrance.
There were also other entrances, but it looked like they had been blocked off purposely with cars.
"I think we could climb those cars instead of going all the way round." Dave suggested.
"It's not a good idea." Brandon replied. "Those cars have been set up like that for a reason, and if we were to go through that way, uninvited, when we are the ones trying to ask for a favor, it could spell great trouble for us."
It looked like Zain had never caught up in the end, so they would have to at least do this part without him. Just before they reached the Hospital though, Kun pulled Pink to the side.
"We can't go in there." Kun whispered.
"What do you mean, we can't go in there? We need to, I have to make sure my mum gets better!"
"Did you forget what we are?" Kun replied. "The two of us are zombies, and we are going into a hospital of all things. It won't be a surprise that before they even let us in, that they check all of us for bite marks. We have to give them a good reason for why we can't go in, but we will stay outside."
Pink wanted to reply, she wanted to see her mother get better, and she was sure that she would be the most convincing person if push came to shove to get her mother treatment, but in the end, what else could they do.
If they found out what they were, then the only choice they had was force, and that was unlikely to go down well.
'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)',
"Alright, but you better come up with something good."
The entrance could be seen just up ahead, and when they were about to reach it, Kun called out while Pink started to take her mother off the hand made stretcher.
"Wait... Maybe it's best if we don't go inside with you." Kun replied. "We don't know how they are going to react, but it's unlikely that they will just fire bullets at you. We were thinking its better if we stay back, and if you need support we can help you out then.
"Besides, it might be best if we wait for Zain anyway, and I doubt that they will let you guys in with these weapons strapped to you, so rather than take them off there, I think it would be better if you handed it to us,"
Brandon looked at Kun wondering what to do, and surprisingly in the end he had agreed, handing over his submachine gun he had on him, but kept a handgun just in case.
"If you here us yelling, or not coming out after an hour, then you guys know what to do." Brandon stated, as Dave and Pink's mother walked ahead.
They eventually got to the entrance of the hospital. As they stood in front of it, they could see guards right by the double door glass entrance, they too had guns, which made them think that this place was well guarded.
Walking forward, both Brandon and Dave placed their hands up in the air, as they made it clear they were surrendering.
"We are a group from the museum!" Brandon shouted. "We do not come in harm, we have a sick patient, and we believe that there is someone here that can help us."
One of the men pointed their gun towards the group, which made Dave gulp. Meanwhile the other guard rushed inside, as if he had gone to inform the others.
"Let's hope things go smoothly." Brandon muttered under his breath.
At the same time, while Kun and Pink were waiting outside, Kun had a bad feeling that, just like nearly all of their interactions with humans so far, something was going to go wrong.
'An hour Zain, you have an hour to get back to us before we head inside this place.' Kun thought, wondering just what on earth Zain was doing at this point and time.
