dark. I heard a click come from beside me and a torch was shone in my face.
“Ok bud you can follow me we have the top floor to ourselves and we managed to clear the infected out but the other floors have a lot of blood splattered all over so don’t touch anything. We still don’t know how they pass it on.” He said moving past me.
I knew how it was passed on but until I could figure out who they were and how many I was going to keep that information to myself. Following the soldier through the building I saw what must have been a massive battle in the corridors. Bullet holes riddled the walls and blood and gore was splashed all over the floor and walls. We passed rooms with blood splatters smeared under the closed doors giving me the impression that bodies had been dragged inside. We climbed some stairs and came out in a small vestibule. Bodies had been stacked against the doors leading outside and the sight of that many dead bodies piled on top of each other started to make me feel sick. I gagged and leaned over at the waist and threw up all that I had inside it splattered over the floor and my boots.
I felt a hand on my shoulder then a voice said “Come on mate we have to get upstairs I need to take over from Chris so he can get some sleep.”
Chapter Fourteen
I stood up and turned to follow the un-named soldier up the stairs to the third floor then down a remarkably clear corridor to small green door. Opening the door I could see a ladder leading up through an opening on to the roof. I had never been so grateful to see a small patch of blue and white sky in all my life. I scrambled up the ladder and out on to the roof. I fell to my knees gasping for breath that I didn’t know I had held after seeing the pile of bodies. After what seemed like hours I looked around the roof I saw how flat it was but there were a few chimneys and skylights but the rest of the roof was flat. The soldier walked past me and headed toward the far end of the roof and walked round a skylight. Getting up off my knees I walked on my shaky legs toward the skylight.
As I got closer I heard a deep voice come from the other side of it.
“Okay Jay so who’s our guest?”
“I think he said his name was Marc or something like that.” Jay said.
I walked round the skylight and came face to chest with the biggest man I have ever seen. He must have been roughly six feet seven and had arms and legs the size of tree trunks. With black close cropped hair and deep brown eyes peering down at me.
A hung hand was thrust in my face and the deep rumbling voice said “Hi my name is Chris Jones and that blonde streak of water is Jacob Evans but you can call me Chris and he likes to be called Jay.”
I took his hand a winced when he closed it round my tiny hand.
“Erm… Hi I’m Marc Jenks.”
“So Mr Jenks…” Chris started to say.
“If we are on first name terms you can call me Marc.” I said interrupting him.
“Ok Marc then. What’s brought you to this neck of the woods?”
“I was hiding out at a friend’s house just outside of Thirsk and those things started to try and get in, so I ran for it and I thought with the army being here it would be the safest place to come to.” I said looking at the floor.
“Well mate as you can see things have not turned out to well here either.”
“Too fucking right we got well and truly bum fucked.” Jay said looking over the edge of the building.
“Jay shut the fuck up mate.” Chris said looking angry at him.
Jay just shrugged his shoulders and walked off on a circuit of the roof.
“It was late yesterday afternoon when those things first started to turn up. The officers tried to sort out skirmish lines and put as many civvies on buses as we could before trying to ship them out of the area.
