It was the day after Christmas, a fresh coat of snow were on the streets people were either already out going to work, spending time with family and friends or doing some shopping or returning gifts. The news for the past several months have been going crazy about a strange new virus that has been spreading around. But it has yet to even hit US soil, some people just think that its just a simple cold and laugh it off as the media tends to blow things out of proportion.

Kayla groaned slightly as she heard her alarm going off, the young woman opened her eyes slowly luckily it was her vacation from the studio she awkwardly moved onto her side to turn off her alarm. She looked outside the window of her high rise apartment, Kayla watched as snow slowly started to fall. Kayla got out of her bed and made her way out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, she was living by herself though her sister Alicia lived about thirty minutes away from the city. Kayla grabbed a coffee mug and set it under the coffee maker and pressed a button, she reached over towards the remote to turn on the news a young man appeared on the television screen.

"The H1Z1 virus in Africa has heavily affected the country there have been reports of outbreaks in Asia as well as some countries in Europe, if you come across anyone who seems to be sick send them immediately to a local health clinic." Kayla sighed and quickly turned off the TV, when her coffee was done Kayla walked over and quickly opened up the fridge and grabbed two eggs and then she grabbed a skillet putting it on the stove to make some scrambled eggs. While the eggs were cooking Kayla would reach down for her phone seeing the contacts Thomas was still there and thought about calling him, she had a few hours to kill before her niece would come over to spend sometime with her, and decided to call him.
