2/23/08 Chaotic
scene Our paintball masks that we used to protect our heads lacked the ventilation to filter the gas. Jet could not handle it he ran ahead choking trying to escape. We didn't stop him and I regret it, we didn’t shout because we didn't want to be noticed, but my god it was terrible. Three shots from Jets 12 gauge then screams, we rushed to help but were blinded and chocking. I stopped for a moment to figure out where we were, and decided that we should duck into a side street and try and reach our objective that way. As we were
exiting the fog we heard but couldn't see Jet, his screams will live
with me until the day I die. We thought about going back to grab his
weapon and ammo, but it was’t worth it we had to keep moving.
Moving down the street, it seemed we were moving against the current.
Scores of frightened bloodied people rushed past us as we made our way
up to a police line standing like a wall against a group of undead.
They were failing, maybe a handful of police with handguns. We formed
up behind the cars that were used to form a barrier and opened fire.
We took a few down but we had no rifles, we were equipped only with
one pistol each, one shotgun each, and I carried a pipe wrench on my
belt for a blunt weapon, we were entirely unprepared for this kind of
defensive stand. How were we supposed to be? I mean we were just civilians
that were successful at looting and had a few dozen re-kills each. |

We kept watch for Trent and decided to rest in the building before we moved on. It was Cowboy’s turn to watch the door and let us know if Trent came back. We awoke to gunshots, Trent’s headless corpse lie motionless on the stoop, and Cowboy stood breathing heavily, dropped his weapon from his bleeding hand and without speaking walked out and shut the door. He was bitten and he left us so that he would’t attack us. This whole mission is botched Undead are overrunning the streets, the numbers are like nothing I’ve seen, and they are hungry. Travis went to restroom and hasn’t been back for two hours. I am the only one left, I fear Travis has been killed, or worse. I don’t know how I’m going to escape this, I don’t know how to get out, but what I do know is this:

following comment by Captain 'Hawk' Heath does not necessarily represent
the views of ZWN. It's editor or staff. I grant that the whole 'Zombie hunter' profession is still fairly nascent. However, a background in tactical armed training is paramount. Fire arms and medical skills are necessary, as is unarmed combat training and just plain common sense. Buying a paintball helmet and playing 'Resident Evil' will not get you past the working week in the real world. My heart does go out to John Bonura's team (team name not submitted) He clearly had some urban necro eradication skills, but they were dropped into a war zone. You cannot blame the guys for what happened. But it does go to show how an un scouted mission can become your last. Submit your Zombie Hunter reports here: |

SAS (Special Air Service) Captain 'Hawk' Heath. His expertise in the
field of Zombie suppression and extermination are becoming legendary
in this nascent field of operation. Since leaving the SAS, 'Hawk'
has teamed with fellow Zombie exterminator and ex US Navy Seal, 'Big
Al' Powner. Together they supply their talents as mercenaries. And
have become the recognized authorities to turn to when you need to
'clean house.'
