Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: First infection

Jessie was sitting in her chair in the office. She was right now working night shift in the police station. She had her headphones on. The door to her office was closed. Jessie was a gorgeous woman. She wore a brown pony. Her skin was light brown and smooth and her eyes were choco brown. She was wearing her blue police uniform which emphasized her curves. The door to her office opened and an older grey-haired man entered. Right away Jessie removed her headphones and pretended to do her work on her computer. Well, there was still the pile of documents on her desk and since Jessie had arrived at work that pile of paper had not changed. The man stared at Jessie and normally he would now rebuke her and shake his head disappointed but this reaction never came and it left Jessie kind of stupefied. 'Mmh, John everything alright with you? You look kind of serious, even more than normally!' John took a seat and gave his answer: 'We suddenly received thousands of calls about humanoid monsters, appearing everywhere in the city. Well I told myself that must be a prank but to be on the safe side I sent people to the different locations because for a prank this is too much. When I was on the way to go look for myself I received a call from the government. It does not look good for us. For our luck the military is already on the way. For now we should go outside and look after the situation ourself! Help wherever help is needed.' He stood up, not waiting for an answer from Jessie yet Jessie herself didn't know what to even say in the first place and so she simply tagged along. They left the office. Not 2 seconds after that two police officers entered the police station. One was heavily wounded. Seemed like an animal had clawed his chest. The other one seemed finer, and was helping the wounded police officer. The man who was helping had a bandage around his leg. Jessie ran to a table and swiped everything away while John had ran off to get some bandages. Jessie helped her colleague and together they laid down the police officer on the table. 'What happened outside there?', Jessie inquired. But the man who wasn't wounded badly could only reply with a stutter. Then he turned around and pointed towards the exit and his face darkened at once. He dropped to his knees. That man was of no use. For Jessie's luck the wounded man managed to speak. His voice was weak but Jessie was able to hear him: 'Monsters, monsters are attacking us. And if, if they bite you' he turned his head to the police officer who was having a mentally breakdown, 'the person turns into a monster!' He tore Jessie towards him and whispered into her ear: 'He was bitten!' Jessie's face turned pale at once. The wounded man let go of her arm and fell back. The light in his eyes faded and lastly his heart came to a halt. That's when John came running with all the bandages they had. When he stopped before his dead colleague he cursed: 'Fuck!' But there was not enough time to mourn for it could be that soon another colleague would be dead–Jessie was pointing her gun at the knelt man. He wasn't able to see anything because his head was down and he had covered his ears with his hands. And he seemed to be mumbling something. The arm holding the gun was shaking. Jessie bit her lips. Hurt herself to suppress the fear inhabiting her bones. If what her colleague said was true then soon that man too would ... John packed her arm and slowly lowered it. 'Jessie, what are you planning to do?' Now it was Jessie who whispered: 'The dead police officer said that a person that gets bitten will turn into a monster!' 'I heard what you said!' Jessie and John turned wards the police officer who had been crouching on the ground. Slowly he rose back to his legs. (Jessie: I whispered how was he able to hear it?) 'I heard what you said!', the man repeated. His voice was harsh, not shaking anymore and even his demeanor had changed, turned kind of sinister. However, the man still looked like a human. Everything was normal, but the blood that flowed out his eyes like tears. Jessie and John retreated and now both were pointing their guns at the man who simply stood there. 'Wow. So that's how you are, Jessie and John? You will kill me? Just like that? How long do we know each other?' He advanced one step - 'Stop right there!', Jessie bellowed. 'I don't have time for this shit! I have watched enough zombie movies to know what will happen now! So, don't fuck with me!' 'Fuck with you?', the man demanded. 'Well if I could I would, hahahahahahah...' (Jessie: He has totally lost it!) John placed himself before Jessi and uttered: 'Jessie, wait. And you Cole, I would appreciate it if you could work with us. Aside the blood you don't look like a monster to me. Yes, your behavior changed a bit but tell me how does a monster look in the first place?' Cole inhaled and exhaled. He then smacked his head. He used a table to his side to stay up. As he was about to answer the exit to the police station exploded. A flame of see arose and out this flames a woman stepped out .
