(Luke) wants (to save his sister, Elizabeth, who was taken,) but (the infection is spreading)

Luke and Elizabeth were hiding in there apartment when they heard the door being broken in. There was no time to think, the infected began pouring in. Luke grabbed his sister's arm and ran upstairs towards the fire escape. He shot the window out and they climbed up to the roof, the infected close behind. The teens realized their mistake when they got to the top of the complex. They had nowhere to run. "Elizabeth, we have to jump to the next roof," Luke said. He could see the infected crawling up onto the roof. "I can't make it Luke," said Elizabeth with tears in her eyes. "We don't have a-" All of a sudden a hand shot through the roof, grabbed Elizabeth's leg and began to pull her down. Luke had no time to choose, the infected were running across the rooftop, he ran to the edge and jumped.

Luke ran down the fire escape to his car, they had hidden for three weeks without being found. It was just as well they were, they were on the last of their food. Luke peeled out of his driveway, no destination in mind, "The Plague" had ravaged the whole city. As far as he knew he was the last one that they hadn't taken. He began thinking, infected was a poor choice of wording, they were intentionally brainwashed, with some sick duty to bring back everyone they could. In the beginning it was more covert, a dark van rolling up at night and taking someone quietly. As they grew in numbers, they became bolder, coming in the middle of the day and dragging whole families away. Luke had to find them before Elizabeth was brainwashed. As he was driving a spotlight suddenly pinpointed his car. Thinking the infected had found him, he floored it, but then he saw someone waving frantically. The infected didn't have the brain capacity to deceive so he pulled over.

"I'm so glad I saw you!" The man looked to be in his mid twenties. "I run the stronghold here for refugees." He said. Luke was ecstatic, he wasn't the last survivor. The stranger then introduced himself as Nick and told him to come in and bring whatever he owned, which only consisted of a rifle, a small bag of clothes, ammunition and food, and a picture of his family that was always with him. The survivors threw a ladder down and the two men climbed up, Nick explained that they had rigged all the stairs to drop out if someone tried to climb them. Luke told him the story of that morning, that his sister had been taken.

Nick looked at him solemnly, "I know where they take them." "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Luke was beginning to see his situation wasn't completely hopeless "If we go, we'll need more firepower, there are thousands of the infected at their base." Nick motioned towards a door and opened it. The room contained an armory, from handguns to rocket launchers. "I used to work with the military's weapons." Nick explained, smiling at the expression on Luke's face.

"Up until now we haven't had a reason to bust anyone out, but yours is as good as any" Nick told Luke. Luke, Nick, and the rest of the crew they had assembled, suited up, pulling dozens of guns and other tools off the racks and made for the cars. When they arrived at the infected headquarters, they left the cars running and quietly ran to the complex doors, guns in hand. The signal was made and the doors were kicked down. The mens' guns blazed mowing down anything in their path. Finally, bodies scattered everywhere, one of the crewmen saw a door marked "Laboratory." The men busted in and saw dozens of scientists poised over civilians. The refugees took out all the scientists and blocked the door. Luke frantically ran through the lab, desperately searching for his sister. Finally he found her lying on a table. All the "patients" were unconscious. Everyone grabbed the victims and ran to the cars. When the crew got back to the stronghold they took the unconscious men and women to the second floor and waited for them to wake up. When Elizabeth woke up, she and her brother were finally reunited. "Luke..." she said with a faint smile on her lips.
