{Some military installation - October 2014 - Maddie}
Pete stood at the military gates and began to think about the events that had lead to him re-enlisting, it was shortly after the apocalypse had started, he had received a phone call saying that the Military needed experienced pilots quickly, he thought he might get a bit of air time, fight these things in the air, it seemed that was the plan until the man in charge of the Presidency decided we were losing to many people in the air and grounded the rest of the fleet.
Now he was on sentry duty keeping a watch out for any civilians that tried to break in or god forbid seek sanctuary, the orders were to Kill anyone on sight and ask questions later, he began to think maybe working for the Demons might be less of a bloodbath at the moment.
His thoughts fell to Maddie, he wondered what she was doing now and what she must be thinking had happened to him, A loud Klaxon suddenly erupted throughout the complex announcing someone had been spotted heading this way, The base sprung to life with the frantic activity of army and air force pilots racing to get into the thick of the action.
Pete looked through his sighter and kept his attention on the on-coming offender, he couldn't see anything at first the darkness clouded his line of sight, he flexed his finger in front of the trigger, he noticed a small light cutting through the darkness flashing from side to side, Pete relaxed his stance, continuing to stare through the sighter he noticed it was a young woman with her two kids, obviously seeking sanctuary "Hold your position" Pete ordered, the woman came to a stand and held her children back, Pete opened the gate and proceeded towards her, with his gun trained on her at all times, she didn't appear to represent any immediate threat, Pete was about to relax his stance when Three shots were fired, Pete threw himself on the family and received a bullet in the shoulder for his trouble. Standing up the woman fled with her children. Pete heard the sound of an engine driving out from the gate, he stood in the way "Sir, you will move or I will shoot" A young officer ordered, Pete glanced back to check to their progress, he could see the light becoming dimmer.
"Son you have already shot me, what's next" Pete replied standing his ground.
"Sir we are not interested in the woman, we are escorting the President through the city of New Orleans, rumor has it we have made ground there" The soldier explained as Pete noticed the heavily guarded truck that was pulling out, Pete jumped into the jeep that was leading the pack,
"What you waiting for drive" Pete commanded to the officer, it looked like for the first time in five years he would get to see Maddie again, and hopefully she won't be a corpse or worse
