The Walking Dead : This Lucky Bastard

The next morning, Calvin and a few others were at a table with a map of the city on it. He told them he was willing to help for Walen so he needed information on the enemy group.

Benny, the young watchman, said that he knew them well and that he would tell everything he knew about them.

 Cal: How do you know them?

 "I was in prison for robbery for two years and very early on I had to join a gang there. Because inmates group together by race to form gangs and protect themselves, I joined the Aryan Brotherhood." Benny said and the others looked at him strangely.

 "Look at me, I'm not a mountain of muscle and I've already seen prisoners like me suffer unspeakable things. It was that and get protected or live in hell. I have nothing against black people or others, I was just a lost guy who had screwed up outside and needed protection there" He explained, shrugging his shoulders.

 Father Abraham : It's okay son, what happened next ?

 Benny: When the world became this hell, prison became an even worse place. One afternoon a strange flu hit the people and it was really terrible. Prisoners and guards alike, a large part of the prison was affected and in just a few hours, the sick were dead. If only they had stayed dead...

 Cal: Long story short, what happened there also happened outside. Get to the point...

 Benny: It took us months but thanks to Vince who was our boss, we were able to get through it. He even formed an alliance and convinced the guards to follow him. When we got out, the world had changed and to prevent the gangs from killing each other after what we had been through, Vince and the other gang leaders had agreed to go their separate ways.

We stayed in Little Rock and had a first shelter but Vince is a really smart guy, he looked for a way to find AB members in other State prisons . We also collected survivors to protect them and join the gang.

 Cal : A guy I killed said you had over 1600 members of your gang.

 " Please, I'm not with these people anymore. If what he said is true then they have become even more numerous and that is certainly without counting their work force" Benny said as he leaned back. 

 Christina: What do you means ?

 Benny: They took in desperate non-white survivors and promised them safety in exchange for forced labor. Vince, this guy is a racist but he knows how to remain reasonable and is aware of the circumstances, he knows very well that human life, regardless of skin color, can be useful. If you've ever talked to a racist, you'll feel different about Vince.

 Rachid: If he is so reasonable and desperate survivors want to join them then why are they kidnapping girls like his sister (points his finger at Walen)?

 Benny: You can believe me but I doubt this was done with Vince's knowledge. When other AB prisoners were found elsewhere, they had their own leaders who joined Vince and became his lieutenants. Some of them are degenerates who committed atrocities without Vince's knowledge, it's because of them that I left.

 Cal: Explain…

 "They lynched someone, a black survivor who was a friend of mine on the loose when I was in jail. This guy had already saved my life when we were teenagers and they lynched him then hanged him.

Many joined the gang in prison or after the fall out of a need for protection or belonging to a safe community, but these guys are psychos of the worst kind.

This apocalypse is for them a paradise in which they believe everything is allowed, they mistreat survivors of other races and even some white people are not spared. I left because of them and met the old pastor and his group. " He said as Abraham patted him on the shoulder in support.

 Cal: I'm still waiting for the information I need. I wanna know their different command posts and bases of operation if possible.

 Abraham: Were you in the army, my son? I did Vietnam before giving my time to the Lord and saving lives instead of taking them…

 "My respects and thank you for your service but sorry, I wasn't in the army . In my camp, there are soldiers who taught me a few things and before all that, I was a drug dealer..." Calvin finished by smiling at the old man who shook his head and said that he would pray for him.

Benny marked the gang's outposts and other installations in the city on the map for Calvin who watched it all with satisfaction.

 Benny: What exactly are you planning to do now ?

 "These guys are racist gangsters but gangsters nonetheless. I'll do what a dangerous gang does when they're in another gang's territory, send a message ..." He said smiling in a dangerous way.

 Calvin returned to King to shower before wearing a set of clothes suitable for combat, a black t-shirt but tight on him due to his more muscular physique, blue jeans and army boots.

Over his t-shirt was an equipped body armor and a holster for his silenced pistol on his right thigh. The assault weapon he took for his mission was a silenced M4 AR-15 on his back with a scope, all with a backpack.

 He came back to the others who looked at him in a certain way and Walen came over to him to start touching his equipment with great curiosity.

 "I want to come with you and watch your back." Rachid said confidently and Calvin ruffled his hair and smiled.

 Cal: Stay with your mother and make yourself useful here, I'm much more effective on my own. Keep practicing and one day you'll actually be able to cover me.

 Rachid: And I'll be a Real gangsta ?

 "You're already one, straight outta Morocco …" Calvin said to him with amusement and Rachid lowered his head laughing. 

 " Cuídate mi amor. Vuelves a mí en su totalidad, ¿intendido? (Take care of yourself my love. You come back to me in full, understand?)." Christina told him with slight concern as she moved closer. 

 Cal: Siempre vuelvo a ti, te amo (I always come back to you, I love you)

 "You better come back and fix your horrible accent" She said before kissing him passionately.

Walen gave him a photo of his sister with her name written on it, "Rebecca Lamb." Calvin promised her that he would bring back his sister if she was still alive and Walen gave him a hug before taking a stamp with a heart design from her pocket which she applied to the back of his hand.

 Walen: [It will bring you luck]

 [Now I feel invincible] he responded with signs while smiling before taking the bike that he had spotted in a corner of the villa for a while.

 Benny : A bike?!

 "It's silent, it doesn't consume the fuel we have left, fuel which degrades over time. Do yourself a favor and start looking for bikes in the city, they will be indispensable soon." He said before taking the bike to go out with it and start pedaling towards the direction of the nearest outpost.

Because he knew the city perfectly thanks to the map he touched, Calvin had no trouble finding his way and stopped 100 meters from the outpost.

 The place was a motel that Calvin observed from the top of a small building with binoculars to count the number of men he saw and carefully analyze the place from several angles.

They were protected by a barrier made up of vehicles placed around the motel with a fence fixed there as well as metal sheets.

 Observing from afar did not give precise information so, he saw around forty armed men there and outside in the large space, there were cages with very large numbers of poultry inside but also outside in the large spaces of the courtyard.

This outpost was very large and seemed to serve the purpose of chicken breeding and egg production. People were feeding them and they were people from ethnic minorities doing the work.

 The gunmen appeared relaxed, Calvin saw one of them grab an Asian girl and force her into one of the motel rooms. He wanted to act now but had to be pragmatic, the lives of some women were horrible during this apocalypse.

He waited two more hours for an opportunity when something happened, a pickup truck full of armed men came with equipment and a few minutes later a small car came out of the dealership with two men on board.

 Quickly, Calvin followed them from rooftop to rooftop and with his superhuman physical prowess, he had no trouble following the shadowing vehicle then when they were a good distance from the outpost, He fired accurately at three of the four wheels of the vehicle that exploded .

Immediately, the vehicle stopped and the two men did not get out immediately, Calvin's rifle had a silencer so they did not know precisely what had punctured their tires.

 "What was that?!" One of them asked and the other told him that maybe they had run over something. They started to panic because the walkers were attracted by the noises of the vehicle, almost thirty zombies were already there when suddenly, a bullet broke the rear window of the car to hit the driver in the back of the head, killing him instantly.

The other guy saw this and started screaming uncontrollably in his seat.

 Calvin got out of his position to start walking towards the car casually killing the zombies in his path as they lost interest in the vehicle and came towards him.

The man in the car saw this and opened the door to try to flee, but he had barely started running when Calvin shot him twice in the knees with his pistol.

 "UUHAAAAAAAARGH! JESUS, MY LEGS" he yelled as Calvin quickly approached him dodging the zombies before dragging him by the collar of his shirt towards an alley between two buildings with a gate at the entrance.

After locking the gate to close off access to the zombies, he moved closer to the man sitting on the ground in excruciating pain.

 "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU ?!" He asked Calvin who moved closer to him before crouching down smiling.

 " How many armed men does your outpost have ? You're going to tell me everything I wanna know and before you want to mess with me, know that I can deliver you alive to the cannibal corpses then be patient while they eat you and question the next of your friends who come out of your outpost. We're not in a movie... " Calvin said looking into his eyes without any emotion .
