Chapter 5



After a few moments of figuring out how the ovens worked at Sabarros Pizza place, the Shampoo had successfully managed to get a few pizzas in the ovens. She then went to the Chinese station where Jacklyn helped her prepare a meal for herself.



“I have to ask, Jacklyn, where’s Vegeta?” Jes asked her as she sat down at their table. Once again, Jacklyn bowed her head, her eyes welling up with tears.



“Dead.”



The word delivered a hard blow to the group. Shampoo gasped and nearly dropped her bowl of noodles.



“The little girl next door bit him. Just like in the movie. He lived long enough to get me to the mall, knowing I couldn’t carry all that stuff myself. It was a lot easier for us getting here, him knowing how to fly. He blasted as many as he could around the house before he started to grow weak. God he really lived a long time compared to the movie. Hell, the virus didn’t even really kick in. I mean he was just getting weaker and weaker losing all that blood. I guess he sped up the processes though when he used so much ki.” Tears rolled down Jacklyn’s cheeks as she remembered their last moments together.



“He told me to stay strong and go with instincts. He told me not to give up.” She chuckled. “He must’ve known I was planning to kill myself after he died. I promised him I wouldn’t. Then he gave me this..” She held her necklace in her hand, the charm being a deep crimson stone with Saiya-jin writing inside of it. “It says ‘King Vegeta and Queen Jacklyn’” Jacklyn sobbed, stroking the jewel with her bloody fingers. “Then he told me he loved me and to go upstairs so I wouldn’t see what he was going to do. I heard the gunshot from up here… He was even kind enough to go into a store where I wouldn\'t just pass by his body...” She couldn’t say anymore but became overcome with sobs. Jes, Trunks, and Mousse all rubbed her back. Shampoo set her noodles down and hugged Jacklyn tightly. After a few moments, she could sit upright again, though still crying steadily. Her sobs had subsided and she sat there with a steady flow of tears winding their way down her pale cheeks.



"So you see," She sniffed and looked gravely into Jes\'s eyes. "Now you know why it is irrelevant to me whether or not I die during this. I don\'t care what happens personally, I just care about taking about as many as I possibly can. For Vegeta\'s honor. I know he\'d want it that way. If I\'m to die, he\'d want me to give them as much hell as possible, all the way until the end." She exhaled deeply then looked at Trunks. "So, where\'s Misiti and Kitti?"



"Misti\'s dead. I don\'t know where Kitti is. Dead for all I know." Trunks nearly spat at her, anger welling up in his voice. He hated her for brining up his girlfriend. It was bad enough he didn\'t know where she was or that they hadn\'t spoken to each other since he left to go trick-or-treating. Now Jacklyn was instilling the thought of death into his mind and the thought of Kitti laying mutilated somewhere was probably giving her an intense joy at that moment. She didn\'t smile, however, did not say anything except a sincere sounding apology. Her eyes soon fell on his injured hand which was still bleeding and did not look like it had any intentions of healing any time soon.



"That\'s not what I think it is, is it?" She asked, her eyes going wide. He removed it from sight and said nothing.



"Misti bit him when she turned." Jes answered for him.



"Trunks, if she bit you after she turned, then that means--"



"It means I\'m infected. Yes I\'ve already established that, Jacklyn, thank you very much!" Trunks cut her off angrily, grabbing the wounded appendage. "What do you propose we do about it, Jei? Kill me now? I\'m just a threat to you all now anyway. Why not get some relationship revenge on me now while you still can and just tell yourself you were killing me in the best interest of others--"



"Trunks, let\'s not make this a personal issue!" Mousse cried out on Jacklyn\'s behalf who looked hurt by his outburst.



"Yeah, well it became a personal issue when it became a life or death situation involving my life!"



"Well no one said they were going to shoot you now!"



"But she was thinking it! You heard her! She wants to take out as many zombies as she possibly can regardless of who she hurts! We all know she\'s still mad at me for breaking up with her, she just wants to be the one to send the bullet in my head for revenge\'s sake!"



"Trunks, I\'m not going to shoot you and I\'m not even thinking about our relationship right now!" Jacklyn finally spoke up, tears welling up in her angered eyes. "All I\'m thinking about right now is survival, alright? Now, I think it\'d be in our best interests to keep you around for a while because we\'re going to need all the help we can get when the time comes. You seem completely healthy for now, so there\'s no point in killing you until we absolutely have to. All I ask is that you keep us updated with your health situation. Report pains, weaknesses, stuff like that. Also, stay with us at all times. No wandering off on your own. If you do turn, we need to be around when you do, not go looking for you after the fact and risk another contamination. Understand?"



Trunks fell silent, still hot with anger. He inhaled sharply and gave a short nod, hating her militant tone. Trunks wasn\'t exactly the kind of person who liked to take orders, and when Jacklyn nominated herself to be the group\'s leader, he felt hatred boiling inside of him. His ex-girlfriend had become his enemy as she was a threat to his life.
