see her on her knees holding her stomach, a look of fear and confusion on her face
What the hell happened?
“COME ON!” she screamed. But the older woman didn’t get up. Instead, she pitched forward, falling onto her face. Jackie could see blood spreading around her. Behind Sarah’s body she saw the Mexican kid still lying on his back. He had a gun in his hand.
BANG! He fired again. The bullet struck the wall several feet to her left. She darted left out of sight of the door. She needed to find a way over the wall. There! She saw a large flower pot that stood about three feet off the ground. She should be able to get over the wall from there.
She hit the pot at a run, still holding her knife, and leapt onto the top of the wall. She felt a stab of pain in her right calf. She let out a squeal of pain as she dropped down the other side of the wall. She felt her calf with her left hand, feeling the wet as she did. The knife had sliced her calf. Blood was running down the outside of her leg. She ran as fast as she could away from the wall, not knowing which direction she was going.
Thor rounded the corner and saw the woman lying face down, a pool of blood still growing under her. He could see the bloody hole in her back. She wasn’t moving, but she was still breathing. It was shallow and weak, but she was still alive.
He knelt beside her bleeding body as she gasped for breath. He grabbed the woman by the hair, lifting her head and shoulders off of the ground. She groaned, blood spewing from her mouth and nose. He leaned closer to her ear.
“You stupid bitch,” he hissed into her ear. “You’re lucky. You’re dead.”
She let out a slight moan.
“Your friends won’t be so lucky. When I find them do you know what I’m going to do to them?”
She let out a weak cry, then nothing. He felt her body go limp and her breathing stopped. He let go of her hair, letting her head drop unceremoniously to the ground. He looked around. There were several men standing around. Most were just soldiers. He’d lost most of his lieutenants. Lurch! Lurch was still here. There, standing there, awaiting orders.
“Follow me,” he ordered. There was no question to whom he was talking. He walked to the gate, followed by what was left of his little army.
“Open it,” he told the guard at the gate.
He led them out and into the woods. He knew where the girls were going. They weren’t going to make it.
The Vet clinic
Pvt Williams was patrolling the roof with Mike. Since the shooting that morning, SSgt Brown had two guards on the roof. The entire place was on high alert and for good reason. Not only were the other guys a threat, but the zombies were becoming a problem. Zed had marched to the sound of the guns, so to speak.
He looked back into the parking lot. Crap! There were even more zombies wondering around down there. Those idiots kept shooting their guns and every Zed in town kept showing up.
“How many you think we got down there?” Mike asked.
“Shoot, maybe 40 or so,” Williams answered. “A bunch from that last group just kinda stopped, and ain’t left yet.” He was happy it was a full moon out. He still wondered how many were close that he couldn’t see.
“How’s it going up here?” SSgt Brown asked as he climbed the ladder.
“Zed is startin’ to get real cozy in our parking lot,” the young trooper answered.
The older NCO glanced towards the parking lot. What he saw took his breath away. He hadn’t seen so many zombies since his little group had rescued Pvt. Williams and his group of soldiers and the kids.
He thought about the El-Tee. The guy was a bit of an asshole, but at least he was an officer. The role of leading the group fell to him when they pulled them out of the church. It fell back on SSgt Brown when the young officer was attacked by the late Father Albright.
