Information: Sears Tower is the world’s fourth tallest building; some 110 floors are inside the glass and metal walls of this enormous structure. So much money had been placed in the production of this building that double-decker elevators had been installed. Pity really, now with the outbreak and all the place looks fairly dull, the elevators also aren’t working anymore.

Eli rushes into the large building hoping he can at least survive until daylight. He see zombie security guards holding batons and kicks a fat one into a smaller one and heads towards the staircase. He heads upstairs heading moans below him, the zombies in the subway would be inside the building in about 10 minutes, and in another ten most zombies would be on the 5 floor. He rises all the way up to floor 13, which is dangerous because getting back down is going to be a pain. He scans the area and finds only a zombiefied cleaning lady. He bashes her head in and looks for some place to hide, all of a sudden he sees a flickering lights from a room and a person motioning for him to come closer. He enters a cleaning closet and sees two surviving business men/woman. "I'm Dale!" whispers the man who let him in "Melinda." says the dark haired woman woman holding a mop like it's an actual weapon. "I'm Elijah." replys Eli breathing hard from the ordeal. "How did you two survive?" he ask them sitting down slowly still on guard a bit.
The three make a circle and begin drinking their own water bottles. Dale swallows his water and says "Well me and Melinda are lawyers and have been working inside the tower for years, we know this place back and forth." "When Sh** hit the fans we began to hide in various rooms, and found ways to evade those animals. They seem to lose sight at night, but in the day they head downstairs. So we have to wisely choose when to savage." says the woman. "Well I need to get to O'Hare, in the mourning you two can travel with me. I'm in the Mili- well I'm a pilot so I can take you to a safe zone." "NO! It's too dangerous. We'll take our chances here waiting for the military!" says Dale in a loud whisper. "They aren't coming this time... they must have known this time was going to be more dangerous, they gave me a weapon when I took a vacation." he shows his Beretta and Melinda stares at it for a while with a dark look. Dale is discouraged, so he sits down and is quiet. The three just sit now, quiet waiting. Eli drifts to sleep now, unaware of Melinda's plans.

When Eli wakes up he finds that his Beretta has been stolen and is pointed in his face. Melinda has her hand on the door and is ready to run. "What are you doing?" says Eli in a low angry tone. "You have a gun already, let me and Dale have this one and half of your mags." she says coldly. Dale wakes up and sees her "Melinda what are you doing?!" he says "Dale we can't just survive using brooms and mops! We need fire power, now hand over your ammunition." "Don't do this, it won't end well..."Eli says slowly grabbing his knife on his leg. Melinda pistol whips him, but in that second he grabs his knife and cuts the side of her neck. She fires a round past Dales arm grazing him and flees, "MELINDA!" dale screams and darts after her. Eli sheaths his knife and grabs his bat so he can chase after her, but the elusive woman rushes through various cubicals making it hard to find her. It's now about 5:00, so the sunrises, but zombies hear the noise and begin to rush down and up the stairs at them. Melinda clears a path heading upstairs to a less populated area. After a 3 minute chase up the stairs Dale grabs her and they crash through a door on the 22nd floor. Immediately a zombie is about to bite them, but has his head shot off from a bullet roaring from the Jericho. "Damn, It's about 7 shots left. Your making me waste ammo you idea." he says picking her up by her collar. She begins to cry "I just want to live! I'm sorry!" he releases her and picks up his empty Beretta. They walk into an Executive office and he grabs a new mag to reload his Beretta, he then reaches into his pocket to grab 8 loose bullets in which he uses to reload his Jericho. Dale and Melinda embrace causing Eli to feel sick "Oh really, it's the end of the world and you guys are making out? Idiots." he says Dale rises with courage and says "Okay, were gonna help you out, but you won't like how!" Eli picks up his bat and raises an eyebrow.
Eli and Melinda are on a window washing station being lowered by Dale, Eli has a spooked look on his face because he hates heights and doesn't trust Dale. Melinda is looking up at her love with fearful eyes, she knows that Dale is quicker and has more knowledge of the building but still feels scared. Once the two are on the 10th floor Eli begins to shoot the glass, making 3 bullet holes allowing his bat to break the glass open. Dale begins to scream as zombies attack him, they can see as more zombies rush upstairs and can hear low blasting rock music. Dale was the distraction. "How did he turn on a radio?" is Eli's only question Melinda breaks into tears screaming "DALE!" Eli being a gentleman puts her over his shoulder and waits for the zombies to head upstairs. He rushes downstairs to the ground level on the opposite entrance door, which is free of zombies. Melinda wipes aways her tears as he puts her down and rushes for the door, she stays in place so he rushes back to her. "Come On! Let's get outta here!" he says. She smiles and shakes her head "I've got to see him one last time." he sighs and gives her his fully loaded Beretta knowing it's a foolish move. She smile and hands him her keys and kisses him on the cheek. "I drive the black BMW, it's in the parking garage underground. Thank you Elijah. I hope you make it." "I hope you can make it, I'll be back one day, so I don't want to see your dead body." he rushes downstairs to the garage while Melinda head upstairs to save her love. He begins to click the unlocking button and finds the BMW, he opens and locks the door and starts the car. Full tank. He takes a deep breath and tries not to cry, he sheds a few tears, weeping softly before driving off hitting a couple zombies in the way. He turns the corner and sees gunshots on the tenth floor, he can swear he sees Dale and Melinda kissing for a second before he turns a corner. He pops in an old Jay-Z album and drives through the crowded streets of downtown Chicago.

Senator John Sullivan looked out from the dusty vehicle that was carrying him to his current HQ.It was part of a three vehicle caravan,all military personal except himself and his bodyguard Bob.Bob sat on the left door,two Mp's in the front and the senator on the right door.The lead and following vehicles contained four Army men,the senator didn't remember their ranks.The destination was the Sears Tower,that currently was filled with soldiers all under the command of some general or other who was under orders directly from Senator Sullivan.
"It's not too far ahead now Senator"Said one of the Mp's in a low voice,the Senator had ordered as little noise as possible.He had just lost quite a few men just to take out one rogue colonel something or other,and his brainwashed soldiers.
Sullivan looked over to Bob,who in return looked at The Senator...perhaps smirking,perhaps nothing.The vehicle's slowed to a stop and the front right door popped open and the Mp stepped out.A few seconds later the Senator was standing at the center of the Sears Tower lobby,passing soldiers who saluted him.He nodded back to them,he wasn't sure why they saluted.He wasn't the president or some general,he was just the man who was trying to return America to it's former glory.A uniformed female walked over to the Senator and guided him to the office he would be working at.He wanted a floor office which several advisers protested.
"I will not be intimidated"The Senator muttered to himself,if the soldier heard it she showed no sign.She was probably used to people of high power muttering to themselves.Bob skulked off some where,when he returned The Senator was seated and looked relaxed.
"That man who helped us is in the building,guess they had to stop here or he wanted to stay.You might think of recruiting him for the Task Force."Bob said pointedly as he stripped off his overcoat,revealing his Thompson and Glock sidearm.
The Senator's first thoughts were,'Oh dear god how could we not have killed him?!?'Then it dawned on The Senator that Bob wasn't speaking of the soldier who had mutated.
"Oh that NCIS woman should be stopping be soon as well,she and others should have gotten some kind of word by now John."The Senator nodded and closed his eyes,waiting...for anything.

Taryn pulled up to the gate that blocked off the parking garage from the outside. It was locked down tight with a squad of soldiers patroling on the inside. Though she could not see it, she knew there had to be a sniper team with line of sight to her from somewhere. At first the guards didn’t move, so Taryn honked the horn. That got them to move, and definitely put them in a foul mood. Nothing like the threat of attracting the dead to get some lazy SOB off his ass and doing his job, thought Taryn.
“What do you want?” scowled one of the officers.
Taryn pointed to the building. “Senator Sullivan is expecting me”, she said indicating with her hand. “And it was either park in the garage, or drive my truck through the front lobby until I get to his office. Open up GI Joe.”
The guards opened the gate and then surrounded her SUV. They checked over the vehicle and then her, noting her weapons and dress. One of them sneered. “Mercs.”
“No no… it’s Bounty Hunters, we don’t need their scum.” She smiled irritatingly back at the soldiers, though she didn’t notice one of them smirked a bit. “Don’t be jealous.” And then she drove through the gate as the soldiers retreated back to safety and the gate rolled down and was locked into place.
Taryn drove until she found an open spot closest to the door. Shutting off her SUV, she stepped out and looked around, flashing her light and her SIG all around her. Yes, they had probably cleared the building. And yes, they had probably missed a handful of walkers. If she didn’t clear the building, she didn’t trust it was cleared.
Locking her car, she holstered her sidearm and drew out her SL-8 and slung it over her shoulder. Lastly, she grabbed her Mossberg 590. Yes it was a lot of firepower, but she had gotten used to carrying it around and if the s*** hit the fan, she didn’t want to be without it.
Of course when she stepped through the door, soldiers turned their guns on her. “Just looking for a good time with Senator Sully. If you can point me in his direction. When one of them reached for her weapons, she quickly aimed it at him, letting him look down the barrel of a loaded 12 gauge.
“Unless you want to lose your face, I suggest you back off!”
One of the soldiers left to tell Senator Sullivan that Tayrn was here to see him.

((Hope you don't mind me controlling Jeffery Doc, but I feel this is the most logical way Joe would get here.))
Jeffery and Joseph had been driving for roughly 1 day or so. There ride was nonstop, and they had a few good conversations in the car, mostly about the zombie apocalypse, and some other things like old T.V. shows, and other such things. It helped lighten the mood a little for Joseph. Though they finally arrived at a tall tower. It looked pretty fortified so Joseph guessed they were here.
At the gate Jeffery talked with the guard there who let him through after he showed him I.D. and such. Finally Jeffery pulled up into the parking garage.
"So all the vehicles you have to choose from are over there," Jeffery said pointing to the far end of the lot.
"Though before you do that I heard someone you knew is actually here currently if you want to see him," Jeffery said smiling.
Joseph shrugged he didn't who he knew could be here, but he was in no rush so why not.
"Sure why not," Joseph said following Jeffery out of the parking garage. As Joseph entered the building he noticed a woman with a bunch of other guards around her.
"Crazy stuff going on there," Joseph said.
Jeffery walked over to another guard and asked him something that Joseph couldn't hear. The men nodded, and Jeffery waved for Joseph to come. He followed Jeffery until they came to a room with a guard in front.
Joseph looked at Jeffery and asked, "So who exactly an I seeing again?"
Jeffery replied, "Walk in and find out."
Joseph shrugged. It couldn't be something to bad. So Joseph opened the door, and noticed who he was seeing. It was the Senator again.
'How did he get here before us,' Joseph wondered, but then he remembered how Jeffery went a different direction to avoid some zombies and lickers. Stupid things even when in a car they cause trouble.
Never the matter Joseph saw the Senator was already busy talking with a guard , so he secluded himself to the back wall to wait till the senator was done. Maybe they were talking about the woman in the lobby. Crazy stuff there.

Senator Sullivan had been meditating in his office,listening to an old opera song when he heard steps approach.They were not the female's soft steps,and he knew Bob's steps well...so it was either bad news or the woman he was expecting was here.He stood slowly and looked the guard in the eye as he spoke,The Senator towered over the man but tried not to seem intimidating.As the guard finished detailing The Senator about something,he mentioned the heavily armed woman asking for him.A print-out came from the back corner,so the senator went to pick it up.
"Yes,this looks like the woman.Thank you corporal,if you would escort her in...taking her weapons wont be necessary."The soldier nodded and walked back out of the room,The Senator followed the man out with his eyes and spotted a familiar man.
"Fancy seeing you again Joseph,please sit down.There's some clean water to your right if you want something to drink...don't tell anybody but i have some pretty good scotch in that drawer if you would like any.I don't drink much myself but those i keep in company usually do."
The Senator sat,his .45 resting in it's holster on his shoulder.He wore only a Kevlar vest,no tie,and his gun.The chairs in the room were made of Oak,taken from the executive offices from higher up in the tower.Sullivan looked around wondering where Bob was,probably following around that female officer who seemed to be The Senator's assistant.He had to admit she had a nice...just then the new arrival came to the door.John stood and introduced himself offering his hand,
"I am Senator John Sullivan,it's a pleasure to finally meet you.This is an associate and friend of mine,Joseph,who i'm sure will have some interesting stories to tell you once we get past the business at hand.To put this as short and simple as possible...I am putting together a Task Force comprised of only Military or Ex Military personal,whom will answer to me and only me.The specific job of this TF will differ from time to time but in general terms it's objective is to return The United States to it's former glory and peace by clearing the Countries capital and further more the capitals of every major state."
The Senator allowed himself to sit and let what he'd said sink in.It was something he often thought about saying but until this moment he had not said it before to anyone.Only Bob knew of The Senators plans,and intentions,which were solely good.
"The Task Force will also be taking care of any terrorist threat accumulating in the United States,I want the B.S.A.A out of these borders within a few years.Since you are the first one here,you would be leading it and taking orders directly from me.I'm aware this is a big thing to ask,and I don't expect you to say yes to leading it but I do expect you to consider being a part of it...all needs will be supplied.Joseph since you have experience I would like you to consider being a part of this Task Force as well,Bob recommended you.Also,I have intel that says there is a large Terrorist organization building up in our borders as we speak.The Task Force will be under fifty people,perhaps more or however many I can get."

Taryn was finally allowed into the office of the Senator with her weapons… someone with pull, probably the Senator himself, had ordered it. Too trusting, thought Taryn as she walked in. The room was richly appointed, or what passed for it these days and only two men stood in the room. One was obviously the Senator, a fat cat armedi with a pistol on his holster. She noticed it as he stood up. She also noticed he was wearing some sort of armor. She walked over and shook his hands and then greeted the other man with a nod of the head.
“I’m Taryn”, was all she gave verbally to Joseph. Then she placed her weapons on the table and leaned back, listening to the Senator’s spiel. When he finished, he sat back and waited for the both of them to respond.
Taryn was the first… “Not to sound like the greedy uncaring b*tch that I am, but what’s in it for me? At the end of this?” She looked at the Senator and then over at Joseph. “My needs are being met right now, but I’m playing for a longer game. At the end of this, when we take this country back, or what will ever pass for this country, what do I get in return? And please don’t say the citizens everloving praise and thanks. I’m talking land, weapons, money, etc.”
“I’m not sure how old that record you have on me is, but it should probably note that I was fired from my job at NCIS. Since 2009, I’ve been part of a mercenary band and up until recently, it was suiting my needs. They imploded, I left and received your summons. I’m not the wide eyed naïve government agent that you might be hoping for."

Joseph stood watching the Senator and his soldier talk, though finally they came to a conclusion, which by the topic of conversation Joseph guessed was about the woman outside, just for the reason that they were talking about a woman and that she could keep her weapons, yada yada well it all just added up.
"Ah thank you Senator some scotch would be nice been awhile since I've had some good liquor," Joseph said with a small smile to the Senator. The Senator seemed lively enough. Well he actually seemed about the same since the last time Joseph saw him which was around a day ago, people really don't change much in a day do they.
Joseph watched the Senator until the woman came to the door. The Senator seemed enthusiastic about this, enough so that he physically got up and offered his hand. Joseph listened as the Senator talked about this Task Force that would help restore the U.S. As Joseph thought about it he had a small idea about this, though it seems of good intentions.
Joseph nodded to the woman, Taryn, as she said her name. Though everything after that sorta of annoyed him. She would only want to do something like this not for the good of mankind, but only so she can get something afterwords. She truly was a mercenary at the core.
Though Joseph kept his mouth shut, because he didn't want to start a fight, because it would only end badly, and Joseph had already had enough trouble going on lately. This Task force though, if turned right truly could be a good thing for everyone. A U.S. free of terrorists that would be a dream come true for everyone, then after the terrorists if all the zombies and other virus monsters would vanish then the U.S. would be perfect again.

The Senator,having not done this since the outbreak happen,smiled.He was glad to hear that she wouldn't be doing this out of the kindness of her heart.While he would have appreciated it,it wouldn't be enough.Mercenaries got the job done,patriotism often led people to make mistakes and take things into their own hand for "The good of people".Mercenaries were to the letter,mixed with the natural tenacity and fire of a female made a perfect Task Force Operator.The Senator allowed his smile to flatten into his creased face.
Ever vigilant,John noticed Josephs thought's on his face.The boy was a patriot and didn't like Taryn's approach.He could understand that,the good thing though was that he knew not to speak on it.A man who had the good sense to prevent a fire was a man the Senator enjoyed in company.
"Land,and freedom.While on the Task Force you are going to travel,you will see properties you like.After all is done and America is America,you get to have which one you want...you get first picks.It could be a mansion or the damn Alamo,I don't care now and wont care then.The Administration will be seizing and changing things after the land is cleared,if people want to stay where they are surviving they will have to pay or work for it.You,having the property you want will have it and not have to involve anyone else in it.
Others,the survivors with land and supplies galore will have to share with those less fortunate.The scavengers,people wont like us for it...but when it's done they will be grateful....grateful for what we did.You will be provisioned until you can provide and socialize to get what you need alone.If you so choose you can have a place in the new military,or you can be ignored by it.The same goes for you Joseph,what I'm offering her can be yours as well...mind you there is no competition.If you both sign on then you will get the same agreements and perks."
John felt the steel of his gun with one hand,then pulled it out and glared at it.To the surprise,he was sure,of his guests.He put it in his lap and looked at the two,then to Taryn specifically.
"I know what I need to know about you,we have managed to keep tabs on a number of people.You weren't on the top of the list,you were just the first one here.Mercenaries are an advantage to post apocalypse america...they may be a problem once this is done,but for now they are helpful."

Taryn listened to the Senator’s speech and nodded. She was going to get paid and fed to destroy what she had been bound to destroy anyway. She had no love of Tricel, the BSAA or the undead. All could go the way of the Dodo as far as she was concerned. But to be able to choose her future and destiny after all of this was over… well that was something that appealed to her. She gave the Senator a smile and then stuck out her hand to shake his.
“I have no love for the BSAA or Tricel. You have yourself a deal, Senator. As soon as the contracts are drawn up and signed, consider me a part of your team.”
She looked over at Joseph who had remained silent during the exchange. The look on his face was brief… only a micro expression, but Taryn had learned to pick up on it. He was put off by her… either as a woman or as a mercenary. Since it didn’t appear until after she had mentioned her profession, she had a very good idea it was her profession.
“Hell, I may even head up the NCIS when all of this is done… if they are to be reinstated.”

((Uh huh I feel like I should have checked this sooner))
Joseph continued to keep quiet as the Senator spoke. So he was offering Joe the same deal eh. It sounded nice, but truthfully Joe would want to do it more for the reason that it would help restore America more than anything.
"Well Senator I trust you enough to believe this will bring the U.S. to it's former glory, and to knock the BSAA out, I'm in as well," Joe said crossing his arms.
Though the mercenary also agreed of course after the Senator sweetened up the deal with land and money. Sure all that stuff is nice, but Wouldn't cleansing areas of zombies be satisfaction enough. Well for Joe it was. Stupid creatures bleh they could all die for a second time for all he cared, and all those stupid B.O.W.s with them.
"Now then Senator where will we start, what is our first objective or are you still forming together the members of our Task Forces?" Joe asked the Senator.

Senator Sullivan was quite pleased with both of them and could only imagine the things they would accomplish together.He sat and contemplated for a moment before returning to the plane of reality.
"We will need more people on our team.Transportation and all other needs will be accommodated if you think you know anyone stationary or who could help."
The Senator stood and hovered over the desk a little and looked from one to the other.
"That will be all,you can stay here for as long as you want or need.I will inform you when we will be moving stations,I have a few friends who might be able to get us into the heat of things and reformation of the U.S"
(The RP will end until further notice after your replies.)

(Guess I'll make my exit now) Joseph nodded. Seems the meeting here for now was done.
"As you wish senator I'll probably stay in the base for a couple of days unless I need to leave," Joseph said before leaving the Senator's office. Well this would seem to be the beginning to a new ordeal. What challenges awaited Joseph at this point was unknown all he knew though was he needed to relax.
So, Joseph made his way till he found himself a nice place to stay on the base, and once there he laid down in the bed, and slowly but surely his eyes closed as he fell asleep, for now, until the next challenge of taking back land from dead would come.
