“He’s a friend,”
Lilith replied to the couple who stood before her. The woman and man were both
dressed in faded and torn military garb. Not immediately familiar with the
uniform they wore; Edward looked for some form of insignia
and recognized the U.S. Marine badge on their camouflage clothing.

“I’m First
Lieutenant Tom Bradley and this soldier here is First Sgt. Brenda Jones.” The male
soldier put out his hand to Edward.
“It’s good to see
that the Marines are in control,” Edward replied as he
shook Bradley’s hand. Edward then extended his hand to First Sgt. Jones, but
she kept her arms folded.
“You didn’t tell him?”
Bradley asked Lilith. Edward picked up from the tone of the soldier’s voice
that he was upset with Lilith.
“Did you finish
questioning the prisoner?” Lilith asked ignoring the Lieutenant’s question.
“Yes, they’ve already begun to infect people with the blood.”
Lilith was visibly
angry and stamped her right foot. She reminded Edward of a spoiled child every
time she did this and he had to hide his grin from the others.
“Bring me to him,”
she demanded. Lilith and Edward followed the others as they made their way
deeper into the city.
They finally made their way down one of the stairways which led to the underground subway station.

It was a scene
that Edward wasn’t expecting. The train that stood motionless on the rails was
totally destroyed.
It was most likely due to a powerful explosive, but it was the burnt remains of the countless dead, scattered on the platform and throughout the torn and twisted metal that added to the nightmarish scene.

“When did this war
start?” Edward asked Bradley.
