Enter, The Walking Dead

Chapter 5 - Making friends?



They are all quiet for a for moments as they gather their thoughts after what they have just seen, something that should be impossible in this world. "So what do you two want to do now, what are you thinking?"

The two blondes look at each other, Amy nodding to her sister letting her know she would be the one to lead this conversation. Andrea is silent for a few seconds longer, trying to think of what she has been told and has seen already. "You said you had a dream about what will happen, why did you see, exactly? How bad will it be? And what are you going to do about it?" Alex was watching her as he spoke, wishing he chose to be telepathic as well so he know why people were thinking, but when she spoke, they were simple questions, things most people would want to know, and he had no real reason not to answer. After all, who would believe them if they tried to tell people? "Hhm.. yes, I had a dream about what will happen but it wasn't exactly detailed. I know most of the worlds population will perish, society will collapse, there will be gangs and marauders in abundance, I don't know much more than that other than the fact the dead will once again walk the world, and if you get bitten you would turn into one of them, so it's most likely a virus, I don't know if it's natural or man made though. As for what I'm going to do, what government would believe me if I said anything about this, even if I showed my abilities to heal they would likely just lock me in a research lab like a rat to be studied, and since I like my freedom, that is not optional, but I will try to help those I can, which is why my preparations are in such quantities. My brother is gathering people who can fight but it will take more than just the few soldiers he will be able to gather, everyone would have to train to a minimum standard, to protect themselves and others when we leave the compound I am creating. Did I miss anything ladies?"

Both girls looked pale and a little sickly at the moment so Alex got up and went to a cabinet, pulled out a couple classes and a clearly expensive bottle of brandy and told them to drink it after he filled their glasses, filling and drinking one himself also. They both still looked pale but at least the burning seemed to pull them outside of their own minds a bit. The girls just looked at each other and this time is was Amy who spoke up "why are you telling us this, what do you want us to do?" She asked Alex with a hint of worry and fear still coloring her voice. "Well, soon I am going to go out to raise funds, I could use a helping hand or personal ȧssistants for the immediate future, to help me keep track of that I need to do and when?" He questioned, like he was not sure himself, letting them decide for themselves if they wanted to get involved so early on. Both girls were thinking for a few minutes when suddenly Amy spoke up without warning "I'm in, I don't have anything else to do so it's not like I will need to quit a job or anything. So what's the starting pay for helping save a small piece of the world?" She asked him almost trying to sound cheerful. Alex couldn't help it he had to laugh a little and with a small smile on his lips he told her "money isn't really important to me, just a means to get what I want, how about I just start you out at 100,00 a year, that way if I'm wrong you are still compensated for your hard work? And until whatever happens, happens, you can buy yourself some nice things." Andrea hearing all this instantly made a snap decision " oh I'm in too, I just forgot to speak, oopsie?" She said with a big smile, there was no way she could turn down that kind of offer, she o Lt made 45k a year as it was, even with her degree, so she couldn't see anything negative with what he is proposing. Alex just smiled at her and nodded, he looked quite happy though.

Alex might not to be the type of person who sleeps with every girl he meets but with the world going to shit around him soon it didn't mean he wouldn't collect as many beautiful women as he could. And if they happened to be grateful, who was he to insult them by turning them away, right? Alex was starting to have some different ideas to saving some people but needed to think on them some more and would have to wait until the two beauties before him left for the day so he would have time to think it through properly.

"Ok" Alex told the two girls before him " I will have my lawyers draw up simple contracts, basically it will be 'keep my secrets and don't tell anyone who doesn't already know', how does that sound to the both of you?" They both replied in the affirmative, that it was fine but asked him to talk to their grandfather soon as they didn't want to keep secrets from their only real family. He told them he would do that soon or whenever they both had time, but that they would all three be traveling a lot soon. "My lawyer will basically be contacting the stupidly rich people around the world who have any kind of illness, especially terminally ill people, this is how we will be funding our endeavors for the immediate future, I will also attempt to discreetly heal children who need it desperately, but have to focus more on building what we need to keep us alive in the future" he sounded quite sad about that as he hated it when innocent people died, especially if he could help them. after all, that was one of the reasons he decided to come to this universe, to try and make it a little better, even if he knew he could never make it perfect.

As the day passed the three of them had a quick planning session, the girls being surprisingly helpful in the farming aspect of things, to feed the people that would be here. They also suggested the area he had mapped out for his compound would do well with a solar farm to power the area but it would be expensive to buy everything he needed, especially the labor. And with that, they decided to call it a night. Both walking up to him at the same time and each kissing him on his cheek. As Andrea turned around to leave Amy had an expression of mischief on her face and quickly kissed him on the lips without her sister seeing, and also walked away leaving a confused Alex blushing furiously but also quite excited.
