Some time ago

 Doc Hart helped them gather the supplies they had needed to defend against a possible attack. A nagging thought had been troubling him for the past few weeks. Something his Dad and Uncle Leo had thought they had figured out about this whole damn thing. He had tried talking to Josiah, but the thought was hard to put in words.

 "Country how long will all this take?".

 "Well doc maybe two hours at the most, bar no zombie problems while setting up, why?"

  Doc shook his head. "I need to get some medical supplies together, in case someone gets hurt, and I want to collect blood from any of them".

 Country gave him a puzzling look, "blood doc?"

  "Yes blood, I need to know why these people haven't turned, or if they have the enzyme in them, that caused this whole mess, or ifs an enzyme that my Dad and Uncle thought that caused this whole mess in the first place."

 "Okay doc, I'm not much into to doctoring, as for collect samples that maybe hard to do, once the blood starts flowing you know them damn things will be coming round".

 "I know but we need to do it".

 Doc turned and left, "Man I hope he knows what we have to do to get his samples", he said to himself.

 "He does" came that sweet voice. "Country the doc has a heavy load to carry, and I know he is asking the impossible, we can do it".

  " I Know Amanda, lets get this stuff ready".

  The doc had made it back to infirmary, and gathered the things he would need. Walking over to his desk, he pulled a key out and unlock his top right desk drawer. Pulled out his father's journal, and began to read a story that his father had come across, many years before this happen.

                                                              Dated April 10 1944

  I have looking for answers to this question, why will this happen? This could be just part of the whole story, but it still doesn't explain, why these occurrences occurred in the past in different parts of the world, but I do suspect that what happen may accelerated the cause.

                                                                 Doc Hart SR notes

   Prior to the establishment of the CDC in July of 1946, the federal  government we had the Malaria control in war areas. but that control not only tried to control Malaria, the physician collected samples of virus from all over, most of them didn't realize that some of what the no name collected virus had special properties to them, DNA and RNA were in it's infancy.

  One of the lad assistance, had packed a sample of what we know now as Zaire Ebola, along with smallpox, malaria, and pneumonia, he did sloppy job of it to say the least, when the samples were delivered back in Maryland the vials had broken, and cross contaminate each other.  This were I suspect the enzyme originated from.

  Disposal procedures were started, but I think that it was to late from the crew that carried it over, to person opening the container, the time bomb had already started ticking. Was it the cross contamination? I'm still not sure, only time will tell. signed John Jenkins.

   That was when it hit the doc, "how stupid I could be" he said aloud slapping his forehead. It had been know that since the 1970's that Ebola could rewrite the DNA of other Ebola virus, why not other virus other than the Ebola itself. and once it got into the host and their immune system was not strong for whatever reason, it rewrote the DNA of the human host, that could explain why babies born during the turning were zombies, or why the elderly turned first, but it don't explain why some people never turned at all. Once exploiter problem was over he would present this to the group, and finding the reason why some people never turned could be the answer to the problem, now that he realized the probable cause of it all, the ones that didn't turn were in essence patient zero's, not the zombies. it also explains why  animals never turned, even the ones feeding on the undead flesh, the metabolism in them difference completely from the human hosts, so it made the virus human specific only!

  He grabbed the med bag and made for the top of the mesa.

 Sarge had made to the rise about thirty minutes before day break, laying low and spying them out, he saw the men he followed, form up around one he figured was the leader of the whole group. He could tell by the animated gestures they were telling him what they had found.

  He noticed that two men appeared to be dragging a woman out of a RV, the leader turned and smiled, pulled his side arm out and shot her in the head, the men laughed. He also saw two small cargo trucks, a few jeeps, with what appeared to have fifty cals mounted on them, an various other vehicles.
 
   "Are you sure about what seen?"The man smiled, "Good we come in from the east at sun rise"
