L4D2-Special Blood Part 13

The most dangerous job the town will offer is the "Food Delivery".  A member will take a truck with a large bed and head into nearby town or city and scavenge for food, dump it into the bed and head back home -safely-.  Of course most of these towns and cities are over run with common infected, hunters, boomers, smokers, witches, spitters, jockeys and on rare occasion tanks. The truck is barred up by window with heavy tint so the infected couldn't see the survivor from with in. The run usually take a couple days for driving in and out.

This time, the driver did not return to New Hope and the folks became worried. After a week, the conclude that the driver, Bob Smith and his side partner, Bill Joe were both dead. Now they have to hire new ones to take the job and get another truck to barred up. A town meeting was held in the town hall to select a new driver and co-partner.

Jullis rose up from his seat, staring down the people of New Hope," We have no member taking the Food Delivery and are here to hire new ones. We found a 4x4 truck with a large bed and our welder made it 'infected' proof. Now we need two volunteers to take the job. Anyone?" He watched as no one responded, most were too afraid for this job is a high risk of death, "No one?"

"I may have an idea," a voice spoke up.

Jullis looks around for the voice but the echo in the hall made it too hard to pin point,"Rise and tell us this idea of yours."

Alfred Smoth stood up with a smirk on his face," It will make the job much less..death threatening."

Coach grumbles, driving the truck through the car filled street as he looks around for any food stores with in the city,"I can't believe this..stupid..stupid..." He kept on grumbling, swerving around a few cars and manage to hit a couple infected that got in the way. He finally spots a store that doesn't appear too heavily on the infected and parks the truck next to it,"All right Boo, remember what we trained you for. Get food and put it in the back you got it?"

Boo nodded happily, sitting frog-style on the seat with no safety belt on," Ya ya ya! Me get melt fuud and stuff and me put in big back!" He nods again, all proud of himself.

"Right. Now go," Coach reaches over and open the door for him (Consider he couldn't figure out himself) and Boo bounds off with a prancing dog-run into the store. He quickly shuts the door and locks it, hunkering down into his seat, shotgun in hand and waits.

Boo hops over tumbled over boxes, trash cans and shelves with food spilled all over the floor. A few infected were meandering the area but pay no attention to him just as Alfred predicted. He starts grabbing random cans of food, as Rochelle showed him before during his 'training', along with boxes of random sorts of food. He stuffs them into his hoodie, using it as a pouch, runs back to the truck and dumps the food into it. Rinse and repeat!

Coach decided to clean his shotgun, hearing Boo dumping food into the truck and bounding off again. Silence took over along with a few moans of the common infected walking about outside, until something landed on the truck with a THUD. He jumps, quickly putting his gun back together and peaks out the front window. Sure enough, a jockey was sitting on the hood staring right at him eye to eye,"HHhhheeeeeehhhheeeeee, me found survivor hhhheeeee."

Before Coach can reacted, something slams against the side of the truck causing it to shake. He looks at the passenger side and pales as a Witch silhouetted the window. She sniffled and starts tearing into the door,"Out out ooouuttt."

Boo comes out the store, holding a few cans in his hands but drops them as he sees a Witch tearing the door apart to get to his friend! He snarls, going all four and lept, landing on the top of the truck and claws toward the Witch's head. The Witch appear to be off guarded, looking up at him and whines," You with tthhheeemmm?" Suddenly she starts sobbing and runs off.

"Heeeeee wwaiitt!" The jockey bound after the Witch.

Boo hops down and paws at the door," Coooaacchhh."  Soon eneought he door opena nd coach becon him in. He hops in and looks at him, seeing he was fine.

"Boo let's get out of here." Coach starts the truck up.

"No mure fuud?" He asked, tilting his head.

"No Boo..no more food for now."
