Jake exited the Stryker at the end of the soldiers that were exiting the vehicle. He waited until the other trucks started to unload and then nodded with his head to Joseph. There was a door off to the right that led away from the receiving area and toward some of the barracks and offices. Already, there was a group of inspectors heading in that direction.
The setup was simple and effective. There really had been an inspection set up, so all the people with them had the creditials to check the equipment, armory and operations, yet with the way the world was, it wasn’t uncommon for important people, like the Senator, to travel with their own security forces. It was like hiding out in plain site. Jake fought the urge to look back for Collins. He knew that she was one her way to her assign task… shutting down the communications center so that Colonel Armstrong couldn’t call for reinforcements. She would control all the communications going into and out of the base.
As Jake and Joseph left the staging and receiving area, a phalanx of military police appeared in front of Senator Sullivan. Though they were armed, they didn’t point their weapons in their direction, choosing instead, to keep them at the ready. From the group emerged another officer, a Major from the insignia on his uniform.
“I am Major Marcus Bell, Colonel Armstrong’s Executive Officer. He is busy right now, but has authorized me to escort you in your inspection of the base. We do have strict rules governing personal security forces on base. They may keep their sidearms, but their rifles will need to be returned to your convoy trucks for the duration of their stay here.”
Major Bell, with a sweep of his hand to indicate the trucks behind the Senator, spoke. “So as soon as they return their rifles, we will be able to get on with your inspection. At the end, the Colonel will join us to address any concerns that you may have.”

The senator was accustomed to being hassled about his own security when doing things of this sort.They were usually left fully armed because of the senators importance and power,then again the man in charge wasn't a straight shooter.Not to mention the senators dislike of him wasn't a secret.Bob had kept his Thompson in his coat and easily kept it concealed from the Major and his grunts,if he had been patted down it would still have been relatively hard for them to find it.The senator turned to Jake and the 2 others with him.
"You heard the Major,return your heavy weapons to the trucks...we will be able to carry out our assignment without them."
The senator turned and grinned walking back close to major and his grunts,motioning for them to commence.Then slowing behind the group he lightly grabbed the elbow of the major and whispered so that only he could hear,
"If we could stop and speak before the end of our route it would benefit us both greatly."
Having known of the Major and his aspirations he shouldn't have posed any problems...but serving under and officer like Armstrong could morph and right and moral man beyond his loyalty to his country.John looked back to Jake and the two other's that were returning to the group.Hopefully Jake took his time of absence to good use,for whatever he could have done...with the other two aiding him.Senator Sullivan returned his gaze to the major and Bob who was to the left of some of the grunts in hearty conversation...bob had the ability to laugh with a man he might have to kill and be fine with it.

Major Bell nodded and gave a tight smile and lifted a hand to point to a door. "We can speak in here, privately." Bell opened the door and held it open for the Senator to enter first. He made a motion for the rest of the group to stay outside.
As soon as the door shut behind them, Marcus turned and looked over at the Senator. The room they were in was sparse, just a table against the wall and lockers on the other. Two doors were on the far door, one to the bathroom and one to the hallway.
"So what is on your mind, Senator? I'm sure that you will find your inspection of our facilities to be acceptable."

(sowwy for the late response)
Joseph exited the vehicle after Jake only to be inspected and all that junk by random soldiers. Well it was a good security measure, but Joesph didn't like it, because it just felt weird having people inspect him, and then he couldn't even bring his rifle.... oh wait he didn't have one no worry then.
Joseph though did decide to leave the riot shield in the car for now. No need to take it with him at this moment. He just didn't feel a close combat match coming on anytime soon, though he still brought his handgun with him.
Then Joseph, The Senator, and Jake had to go to another place, and they weren't even allowed in the room. Only the Senator was allowed in.
Joseph crossed his arms and tapped his foot while waiting.
"Well I must say zombies suck a lot," Joseph said trying to spark a non suspicious conversation.
"I mean they eat people, and they just create havoc, stupid Umbrella," Joseph said.

The senator turned placing his briefcase on the table in front of him,and looked at the major.His face was un-smiling and grim,then he sighed and moved a little closer to the major while still maintaining a good distance.
"Major,I believe you know what your are helping to do here,because i do.You know it is wrong,and whether or not i will have your cooperation in the matter Armstrong will be taken down tonight.I would very much like your assistance and will see to it personally that you are promoted for it...but i can as easily do without it."
John moved back to his briefcase and popped it open still making eye contact with the major.He slid the sawed off aside,making sure it didn't make contact with the briefcases interior.He grabbed up a form with the major's name and possible new title on it,then he slid it to the center of the table.
"If you are going to help,all that needs is my signature...in these grave times i've been given a lot of power.That power could go into you and your men here...but Armstrong is standing in the way,and he needs to be taken care of.I simply need you to make sure none of the innocent men under your or his command are harmed,and are blind to what is going to happen until it happens."
The senator stood solemn faced still,and walked over to the Major placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"I know this is not an easy decision for you to make...but i trust you will make the right one,let me get my pen and i can sign that right now if you agree to help or stay out of the way."he said reaching into his coat and resting his hand on his gun gently,just in case the major decided to freak...if he did the soldiers outside would be f**ked with bobs thompson,the major would probably be killed or at least shot and there would be chaos in the camp.

== Staging Area ==
The longer they waited the worse that Jake felt this mission was going… and when three more squads came charging into the staging area with weapons drawn, forming a circle around the convoy, Jake knew the only words that would fit the situation was “FRACKED”. Most of the convoy’s people put their arms up. They were amateurs. Those that didn’t knew better. It put their hands farther from their weapons. He slowly moved closer to Bob and Joseph.
“When all hell breaks loose”, he whispered. “Head toward that door. There is a small cache of weapons there.”
Of course, getting by 40 plus armed soldiers who now has their weapons trained on them was going to be hard… but not insurmountable. If they could just edge a bit more to the left, the stryker would block half of the guards.
== Office with the Senator ==
Behind Sullivan, the two guards that had stood by the door stepped up behind him. They had both their weapons out, aimed at the back of the Senator, but not quite touching him. “Sir, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”
Major Bell smirked and took out his own side arm, stopping to pick up the contract.
“What you don’t understand Senator, is that this is a new world and men like the Colonel are firebrands that will create it as they see fit. The United States of America is gone. Survivors will carve out their own nation and we will rule without a senate, without measely crappy bureaucrats. Quick, efficient, effective. Now, if you please, I have something that will interest you and the others.”
Major Bell motioned for him to go back through the door and his guards moved so that they had him in a triangle, weapons facing him so that any weapon wouldn’t be able to his all of them.
== Staging Area ==
“I think this is going to get a lot worse.” The door to office opened and the Major appeared with what looked to be the Senator in tow, but from here Jake couldn’t see.
Suddenly his attention was diverted to a large monitor. It flashed to life and a face and a voice that Jake would never forget came alive.
“Well if it isn’t the mighty Senator Sullivan and his friends. I’m sorry Senator, I must insist that your little evaluation of our base is over… as is your treason for this spy.”
The camera drew back to show a figure, beaten and bloody, lying on the floor at the Colonel’s feet. He grabbed the being by the hair and dragged her to her feet. Only then did Jake realize that it was Lt Collins. Armstrong tossed her to the ground and kicked her viciously in the side.
Deep inside of Jake the alien virus that he had been infected with was surging through his body, adrenaline and anger fueling it. He was beginning to lose composure as the berzerker’s rage took control.
On the screen, Armstrong continued to talk, but it was like through a tunnel. “As a traitor, she is to be executed, followed quickly by your entire team.” With that Armstrong pulled out his sidearm and shot Collins through the head.
Jake didn’t hear anything after that, but he saw that people were staring at him. He had just let out a deafening animalistic cry. His eye were now black and his teeth were bared. He faintly heard the charging of weapons, but they were too slow. Racing through the line of men, he ran faster than any human. As he reached the first line, he raked his claws through their vest, ripping through their vest and flesh like tissue paper. He felt the sting of weapons fire, but that didn’t stop him. Deep down, he knew that he was dead… but he just wanted to make sure that Armstrong went first. Coming to the two guards that surrounded the Major, Jake launched himself at them ripping the first one’s arm off and then sinking his teeth into the neck of the other one. Then he was back into the group. Running and slashing with wild abandon. Within the ranks of the soldiers, they couldn’t shoot without hitting their own. Several went down with missing limbs or rips in their chests, their kevlar not stopping the attack.
Dripping blood from his claws, Jake exited the staging area, heading toward the offices. He didn’t know if Joseph and Sully could handle themselves. He didn’t care either. The rage had taken over and all he wanted was to kill and slaughter and murder.
{OOC – have fun guys. HEEEYAAA!}

Joseph nodded at Jake. Some how he felt that things were going to get crazy. Well of course it would seeing as how now multiple soldiers with weapons around them. Situation compromised maybe.
Things only got worst when, the office door was opened, and the sergeant or whatever his rank was came out with the senator behind. Oh no this couldn't be good, and of course it wasn't.
"I think you're right," Joseph said right back at Jake.
Joseph didn't notice the large monitor until, the man on it started to speak. Joseph turned to listen. The man looked like someone of power, the Colonel maybe. Either way he was onto them. Oh crap, Joseph thought to himself, and then the camera turned to Collins. She was on the ground bleeding. The man on the screen seemed ruthless, and just brutal. It probably was the Colonel they were after.
Joseph eyed over at Jake he knew that lady was his friend, and this must've been hard to watch, but something didn't seem right about him. Though, when the man started speaking again Joseph turned back only to see the Lt. get shot. Joseph's jaw dropped. He didn't know her that well, but she seemed closer to Jake, who when Joseph turned back to him, all he saw was a monster.
Oh no what happened to Jake, Joseph thought then remembering what he told him awhile ago about his infection.
"This must be it," he said to himself, still a bit stunned.
Though, by now the monster Jake had finished tearing through a few soldiers. This was Joseph's chance to do something. He quickly drew his handgun, while the soldiers were still shocked, and busy.
"Bob," Joseph said to wards the senator's bodyguard, "Let's mess these guys up."
With that Joseph shot on of the nearest soldiers.
"Bob save hte senator, I'll be back with weapons," Joseph said now running to wards the armory door. There were a lot of guards there all of them stunned from the monster, but Joseph shot one, and punched another before shooting the lock on the door then kicking it open.
"Jackpot," Joseph said grabbing, a flash bang grenade. Outside he could hear the soldiers coming back to reality so to make them forget it for a little he threw said flash bang out the door only to hear the crys of soldiers.
Joseph then went to work getting a few more grenades, and an automatic weapon of course. But, before he left, he noticed one more beauty, a mini gun. Oh yeah time to waist some bullets with this thing. He dropped his machine gun, and grabbed the mini gun heading to the door. He threw one more flash bang out the door, before walking out the door.
Joseph smiled saying, "Time to have some fun." With that he unleashed a rain of bullets upon the soldiers just outside the armory's door.

The senator's anger was apparent,but he went along with them outside still holding his briefcase.He wasn't surprised at the sight he saw when the went out,his men were being held at gunpoint.Then that a**hole colonel shot the boys friend. Bob stayed close to the other two men,and for good reason.When the soldiers began pulling up their guns Bob started moving his hand to the grip of his Thompson.When the boy turned Bob opened fire into the soldiers near himself that weren't ripped apart.He looked Joseph and nodded,smiling at the mini-gun,then turned to look at the Major who still seemed to be in shock.He lifted one powerful leg and kicked the Major through the week door into the room,then looked t the senator who was unharmed.
"Thank you Bob,i will be out in a moment.Make sure Alpha team set the charges,this base probably contains information we don't want to remain when we enter reconstruction again...i will be just a moment with the major."
With that the senator walked into the now bullet torn room and glared down at the major who was still confused but grasping what just happen.Senator Sullivan smiled,knowing that the major had just f**ked himself out of survival.The major moved for his gun but John kicked the mans forearm so hard the soldier hit himself with it and his head hit the table.Then Sullivan opened his briefcase rapidly,allowing it to drop to the floor as he pulled his Sawed off double barrel from it.He pointed it at the majors head and smirked...
"If you have any last words...now is the time."Said Sullivan,but fired into the majors head before he could form the words. "What a waste of American blood."
Sullivan gathered up his bloody briefcase,reloaded his shotgun placing it back.Then collected his .45 from one of the dead soldiers,and walked towards bob calmly even though bullets were being fired from some place or another.He walked over to Joseph who was going mad with a Mini-Gun,he told bob to cover them,he did.The senator leaned in close to Joseph with grim expression.
"You're friend went after the colonel...I believe we should go and aid him.My team will take care of the left overs here,your friend turned and we will have to take care of him after he destroys the colonel.If you aren't up to the deed I will gladly do it.You can leave the Mini-Gun."Said the senator,then strolled into the direction the new monster went holding his .45 in one hand and the briefcase in the other.

The Colonel had just shot Collins and motioned for two of the guards to dispose of her body. The camera he had on him was only one way, so he couldn't see what was going on back in the motor pool hangar. But he could hear the gunfire and assumed that that damn Senator and his group was being taken care of.
He sat back down at his desk and looked back over the reports. It looked like one of the other MP's was getting too close to evidence of what he was doing... he would have to go. One of the civilian women refused his advance... she would have to go... along with her husband and 2 children... well, maybe he'd keep the 16 year old girl for himself. She could be taught.
"Colonel, we have a situation."
He looked up from his desk with irritation. "What is it?"
"The gunfight didn't go as planned. They had help that we didn't know about. Here is the feed from the cameras before they went down."
The guard put a jump drive into the computer and fired up the feed. It showed one of the Senator's people charging into the ranks of his men, tearing out their hearts and slashing their necks. Another one opened up with a minigun and the Senator killed the Major. The person who was ripping through the marines was doing it with his hands and had been shot several times.. so of them at point blank range.
It did nothing.
The last camera before the individual ran out showed it to be Jake. The Colonel paled and grabbed for one of the Colt M4's that was loaded with a grenade launcher.
"Alert the base! Get a machine gun squad up here to defend me." Before the man could make a call, yells, gunfire and screams of death sounded from outside.
=======
Jake could feel the monster in him and this time he didn't fight it. Deep down he knew that if he stopped now, he would die and so would everyone in the convoy. Collins...
That thought incited more rage in him and he sped up, sprinting the distance between the motor pool and the HQ at a speed that no one could match.
Once he reached it, he tore off the door and ran inside. Gunfire erupted, nailing him in the leg and arm, but he quickly took care of it. Now, he didn't care if they were loyal to the Colonel or just firing out of reflex. He killed them anyway, ripping the head off of one Lance Corporal and then biting through the neck of another Non-Com.
Down the hallway, was his target, Colonel Armstrong. He stalked towards the door. Out front was another squad. They opened fire immediately on him. Several more round hit him in the stomach, knocking him back a few feet. Then he dove into the nearest open door and ran to the wall between it and the next room.
Like most internal walls, it was little more than dry wall, so he had no trouble ripping through it at a job, creating his own way to the squad.
Little more than a handful of seconds later, he emerged out into the hallway, in the midst of the soldiers. They didn't have time to even shout a warning. He stuck his clawed hands through the first one, ripping out his heart and the using him as a shield to push him into the next one. As the barrelled over, he grabbed two more and pulled them down into the hallway. Gunshots went off again, but these were aimed at anyone. He didn't really know what was going on, but Jake knew that he was just slashing and ripping and biting at any skin that he could get ahold of.
Within a few minutes, he had finished them off. He threw down the arm he didn't remember ripping off of one of them and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then he kicked the door in...

Joseph was busy still piling bullets into corrupt soldiers, so much that he didn't even notice the senator and Bob until the mini gun ran out of ammo completely. Josephs hands were pulsing from the constant vibration, and he let out deep breaths as he noticed all the dead soldier remains. He shifted his head until he noticed the Senator.
"Oh yeah damn things out of ammo any ways," Joseph said dropping the weapon.
"Wait did you say take care of him, Do we truly need to he once told me this only happens to him in certain times, maybe we can try to quell him or something," Joseph looking at the Senator who was now walking away.
Would they truly have to deal with Jake who was now a monster.
"Wait," Joseph said catching up. "Even if we do have to kill him how will we, with simple bullets, by now he has probably already taken a crap ton from the soldiers here, what difference will you .45 make," Joseph said walking beside the Senator.
Then all the sudden along with the gunshots Joseph heard a larger explosion sound.
"Wait Senator did you hear that," Joseph listening as more of the explosive sounds happened.
"Sounds like a heavier weapon come," Joseph said quickly pacing ahead. He was trying his best to be quiet, but still be ready at the same time. He looked at the Senator down the hallway and gestured him to hurry.
Joseph peeked around the corner only to see mangled, and torn bodies. Oh no, was this the power of Jake now. Now this is what started to make Joseph worry. Worry that maybe the Senator was right, and maybe they would have to put him down. After this whole journey though it would be hard for Joseph. Hell, he had only known the man for a week at most, but when your in a zombie apocalypse a week was like a year.
Joseph continued to listen as the sound of gunfire was heard down the hallway. But, then it was silent. Jake probably got to them all already. From the hallway though he heard some moans of agony as any soldier left alive was quivering in pain.

The senator would look back at the boy every time he asked him a question to answer him.At one point Bob broke off from them and away,a few gunshots heard as they moved forward.
"The plan was to destroy this base along with the Colonel...or don't you remember that?Our boys are setting up and detonating explosives...how we have enough people for that is beyond me."
They got a little farther and Bob joined them,they stopped at the hallway.Dead mangled corpses and soon to be corpses lay strewn all down the hallway.A hole was in the wall,and some sounds were coming from the room at the end of the corridor.Bob moved up and looked into the eyes of Joseph saying,"There isn't anything a United States weapon can't fix."
He pulled a LAW rocket launcher from his coat and handed it to the senator,the senator bulled the stock back and prepared to fire.The senator looked at Joseph...
"Whether this rocket kills him or not is not my concern,my concern is disabling him until we get the explosives set to level this building.He will be crushed or blown to hell with the explosion...now would you like to do the honors or shall I?Seeing as how you've gotten connected to him."

Colonel Armstrong backed away from Jake, putting his desk between him and the former Marine. As Jake stepped into the room, he felt something hit him the the back of the head. Seering pain ripped through his skull and Jake knew that he had been shot in the back of the head, probably near the base of his neck. His sight began to fade to black as the virus tried to overcome the fatal wound. He swung out behind him, only knowing that he connected with the soldier as his claws ripped through his chest.
The man went down with a whimper and Jake turned back to where he thought Armstrong was at. He still couldn't see, but he could smell the fear on the man.
Colonel Armstrong grabbed the gun that was sitting on his desk and aimed it at Jake. It was a Smith & Wesson .500 with a 3 in barrel, chambered with the .500 caliber round.
"I should have killed you with the other MP's", was all he said as Jake launched himself with his remaining energy. Colonel Armstrong fired. Jake fell back on the ground, but picked himself up. By now, he was shaking, his infected blood pooling on the floor, running from the numerous holes in his body... the last shot hitting pretty close to his heart.
Without hesitation, Jake rushed the Colonel again, this time actually striking him across the face. His claws ripped deep into his skin, mangling his right eye, nose and his chin. The Colonel, for his training, placed the gun up to Jake's temple and pulled the trigger.
Jake's body fell limp at the ground. His vision cleared long enough for him to see the body of Lt. Collins, lying on the floor. "I'm sorry", was all he whispered, before he breathed his last breath.
Colonel Armstrong, tried to close the wound to his face, pressing a damp cloth across it. He needed to get to the medical ward now! With his vision impaired, he ran to the door.

Joseph just looked at the Senator. Dang this man was armed. He looked at the LAW and back at the Senator, he was about to respond until he heard the final gunshot.
Joseph turned back around to see the monsterous form of his friend slump over onto the ground before becoming utterly motionless. So the Colonel did it, but wait in the back Joseph noticed the man was still alive. Oh the man would have Hell to pay.
The worst thing was the Colonel only had large scratches on his face. Sure they looked painful, but it should have been a stab through the stomache for him. Joseph's face started to steam up.
"Senator I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to take that from you," Joseph said grabing the LAW, then turning back to wards the room. The Colonel was now at the door.
"Hey Craphead say hello to Lucifer for me!" Joseph said getting his aim ready, and with a pull of a trigger the missile launched causing the Colonel, Lt. Collins, and Jake's Monsterous form all the be caught in the explosion. With that a small fire started, and the sprinklers overhead started spraying water.
"Senator I feel our job here is done, you can have this back now," Joseph said handing the man back the LAW.

The senator watched the look on Armstrong's face with amusement.It was like the rocket was in slow motion for him,the colonel's body being engulfed in the flame then thrown forward...glorious.He grabbed the LAW back from the young man then through it to the floor,he wouldn't be needing it any time soon.Then he turned to Bob and nodded.
"He's right,our job is done here.Get the demo team here just in case Jake is still alive somehow in there,then finish blowing this place.I'm going to see if i can get Joe here somewhere steady."
The senator finished instructing Bob as they walked back out of the watery building.Bob skulked off to a group of men some of them kneeling fiddling with something.John caught up to Joseph and grabbed his shoulder turning him around,not with violent force however.
"There are other safe points across the U.S,you just lost someone who was an anchor to you.I would invite you to stay with my group but there are a lot of things I need to do...too many things that will probably be more dangerous than this,and I couldn't have you in that.You are still young...and despite the horrible time we live in it will get better and men like you need to survive till that happens."
Senator Sullivan looked around at what had just transpired here,then looked back into the eyes of Joseph.He was quiet for a moment.
"You don't need to decide now,if you want to go out on your own i can arrange a vehicle,fuel,and some ammunition...it's your choice."With that the senator walked back to the Stryker who's both drivers seemed to survive...and waited.

(is the person in your signature the senator?)
Somewhere steady... as if Joseph needed that, he could probably make it on his own all he needed was a car, or a truck, or a skateboard.... Joe followed the Senator out of the building trying to tell him what he wanted to do, but the Senator was fast. But then he was turned, to see John.
Young, well he wasn't that young, eh but whatever. Finally though the Senator came back over, and had to make one of those awkward silent moments, why do these things happen all time. Though finally the Senator spoke up saying the things Joe wanted him to say.
Joe walked over to the Senator.
"Well now that you mentioned it a nice compact vehicle would be nice, preferably something like a motorcycle, but truthfully, I'll take whatever vehicle you can offer Senator," Joe said looking at the Senator.
"As for ammunition I prefer to go light so my handgun will be fine for now, It has enough bullets left to last me a few days or so, but If I could possibly retrieve my riot shield and baton that would be nice," Joe said trying to smile. Though truthfully it was a sad time, and there really wasn't much to smile about.
It was getting to that point now, where his journey with Jake was done so, now he would go off on his own again, back on his own small adventure to further advance his original goal, who knows if his father was still alive though. Joe believed he was, and that's really what mattered.
