Chapter 3: Josh, Part 1

Josh ducked under a piece of rubble. He still wore his good old S.W.A.T. suit but now he doubted its effectiveness. He waited for the parakeet to fly over head. It wasn’t just any parakeet but it was THE parakeet. It was THE parakeet that tore apart his family, THE parakeet that killed his buddy Frank, and it was THE parakeet that messed with his life every chance it got. Yes, thought Josh, this was the parakeet and it was going to die.

Josh cocked his old AK-47 machine gun. Josh looked down at it and sighed. He had a lot of memories with this thing. Josh checked the chamber to find he had only thirty bulets left and one more cartridge on his belt with fifty. Josh sighed again, there were no more ammunition shops, at least not if you didn't want any trubble with the Syndicate. The sound of the parakeets wings slowly faded away and Josh knew that he had too move now if he didn't want to lose it. As he rounded the corner Josh saw the parakeet. It was no normal parakeet to say the least.
