After meeting with the informant in the bar Marcus Deimus finally had an address for his prey. The house was only about five miles from his current location. He hoped John Dark Jr. wasn’t home yet for then he could lay an ambush. Otherwise he will just go straight in shooting.
The Greek had amazing speed for a zombie. That part wasn’t like the movies. They weren’t slow moving mindless creatures. He could think and he was faster than he had ever been while alive. Other than the constant gnawing hunger for brains it was otherwise a very enjoyable existence. He traversed the five miles in under seven minutes to arrive at the foot of the driveway to the Dark family home.
All the lights were currently off and it did indeed appear empty. He peered through all the ground floor windows until he was satisfied that there was no one home. Then he picked the lock on the front door and let himself in quietly. Closing and locking the door behind him he glances around the entry hall and decides to climb the stairs.
Opening rooms at random he first looked in on what appeared to be a teenage girl’s room. Must belong to the younger sister his informant told him about as well. The next room was full of police memorabilia, the father’s room left just as it had been prior to his death. The last bedroom he came to was full of martial arts weapon replicas and Bruce Lee posters; this had to be the room of his prey.
Marcus Deimus went inside and shut the door. Then he made room inside the small closet and settled in to wait patiently. His eyes closed and he dozed off at some point for when he opened them he heard noises coming from downstairs. Shadow Hawk must be home.
He silently drew his gold plated Israeli Desert Eagle from its holster and checked the clip. He just loaded it this morning but he always liked to be sure before going into a firefight. Smiling grimly to himself, Marcus listened more intently to the sounds waiting for an indication that his prey would be coming up to him.
Shortly his prey did come but he was accompanied by a dark haired woman that the Greek did not recognize. She was laughing at something John Dark had said before they entered the bedroom. It didn’t take long for the couple to start removing their clothing, no doubt preparing for some extracurricular activities. Marcus Deimus waited until they were both nude and facing away from him before slowly opening the closet door.
Then the door creaked giving the zombie gunman away. John and his lady friend, Alicia, both turned toward him. He squeezed the trigger now angry that the element of surprise had been lost. John grabbed Alicia and propelled them both across the bed and to the floor on the other side using it for cover.
“What the hell is that thing?” Alicia asked frantically.
“The walking corpse of my father’s murderer” John replied “and it looks like he means business. Quick hand me the black box under the bed.”
John risks a look topside trying to discern the location of his attacker while Alicia pulls the box out and removes the lid. Inside are several throwing stars, a set of nun chucks, and a .9mm Beretta. Not sure which item he wants she touches his arm gently not to startle him.
He reaches into the box and removes the stars while handing her the pistol. Marcus Deimus had moved over to the end of the bed and started shooting again, this time through the mattress. Alicia dropped flat against the floor and fired the Beretta underneath the bed aiming for the zombie’s shins. The bullets tore flesh causing the Greek to scream out in pain.
While the creature was thus distracted John leapt into the air over the bed and tossed the stars one at a time. The first one embedded itself in Marcus Deimus’ head while the others struck him in various parts of the torso causing more and more pain. Landing on his feet, John swung his balled up fist right into what was left of Deimus’ nose.
This attack caused the zombie to drop his own firearm. But using his speed he unleashed a flurry of punches to John’s own face. The punches blurred John’s vision and broke his nose causing it to bleed. He tried to fight through the pain but had a hard time landing his own blows. Then another gunshot was heard.
Marcus Deimus fell where he stood, a smoking crater in the back of his skull. A naked Alicia stood over him holding the gun in her hand now pointed at the ceiling, trail of smoke rising from its barrel. She looked so sexy at that moment that the only thought crossing John’s mind was how much he wanted to kiss her. Which is exactly what he did next, pressing their bodies close together.
The moment of passion was all the zombie needed to make his move. Stealthily he stood up and removed the bullet with his fingers, dislodging it from his brain. Then he charged. Tackling John the two men crashed through the bedroom window and out into the bushes that surrounded the outside of the house.
Neighbors screamed when they saw the naked John Dark sparring with a rotting corpse in the yard. Moments later Alicia appeared now wrapped in a bed sheet and still wielding the .9mm. She fired off several more rounds emptying the entire clip into the zombie’s head. He dropped again but this time the duo didn’t take their eyes off of him. They waited, making sure this time that he was done for.
“So does battling zombies in the nude turn you on Mr. Dark?” Alicia teased watching his involuntary body movements as he gazed at her again.
“No…it’s nothing to do with the zombie” John replied blushing.
Sirens could be heard coming up the lane towards the house. One of the neighbors must’ve called the cops. John motioned for the two of them to head back into the house and put clothes on. The cars arrived only seconds later. Several uniformed officers stepped out followed by detectives Stonecipher and Lawrence.
“What happened here John?” Detective Jackie Lawrence asked him as she made a face at the sight of the rotting man.
“Yeah this guy looks like he’s been dead for a few weeks John” Tony Stonecipher commented “how’d he wind up here on your lawn?”
“Not sure Detective” John replied “when me and Alicia got to the house he was hiding in a closet. Then he attacked us but we managed to come out on top.”
“Lucky for you” Jackie said kicking the corpse with her boot.
“We’ll need an official statement” Tony commented casually “corpses usually don’t attack people for no reason.”
“Yeah well I have no idea why this one came after me” John lied convincingly.
