The Dead Will Come

Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: The pilots. 1x2, 3x4
Summary: A batch of abandoned toxic waste turns a town into a living cemetery.
Warnings: Zombies, death (not the pilots), gore, language, violence and everything you would expect of a bad B movie. Also humor, hopefully.
Notes: This was inspired by Robert Rodriquez and Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse" so if you saw that then you know what to expect. If you haven't, then think of bad 80's zombie movies and you'll get the picture.

Wufei breathed a sigh of relief when he managed to make it out of the research labs, the case containing the samples held securely in his hand. He didn't know if he would be able to concoct an antidote but he would at least try and he needed the samples to even have a hope of doing that.

A sound behind him startled him. He turned around but there was nothing there. The events of the night were getting him jumpy. He hadn't seen an infected person yet but from what he knew of the reports and preliminary analysis, it wouldn't be pretty and he would rather die than be infected himself.

He wished he could have his car now but even with the lowered security in the labs he wouldn't have been able to leave through the front door without attracting questions and raising suspicions. The cars were always checked when they left the premises, no exceptions and Wufei had seen that that was one of the only security measures still I place.

He would have to walk, which of course wasn't the safest course of action, not with 80% of the population infected.

"Going somewhere?"

So he hadn't imagined that sound after all. "Dorothy," he said turning around towards the voice.

"You should know better than to extract sensible material from the labs." She had a gun pointed at him, her finger on the trigger.

Wufei had never liked the woman. She had an arrogant air about her, even slightly cruel. A mercenary, hired to keep some of the labs secrets and do the dirty businesses no one liked to talk about. "I won't return these to you."

"Pity," she said. "I wasn't even looking for you. I was hunting for the missing Pet, but I'll have to kill you anyway and collect another bonus." Her lips curved into a smirk. "You should thank me, this is a better fate than infection." And she pulled the trigger.

Wufei exhaled loudly and opened his eyes, not even realizing he had closed them. Dorothy was on the floor unconscious and a man dressed in army green cargo pants and a black tank top was standing over her. He had a gun in his hand and two more in a hostler. Cobalt blue eyes glared at Wufei.

"Who are you?" Wufei asked.

The stranger put the gun in the back of his pants and started walking. Wufei moved to follow and it was just then that he noticed that Dorothy's shot had destroyed the case and the samples held within it.

From the road came the sound of the stranger's whispered reply. "I'm just a man with a mission."
