of Butch and threw her out of the elevator. I turned around to
help Butch up as the doors to the elevator closed heading further up to god
only knew what.
    Butch was on his feet and punched the fourth-floor button. “There’s
no telling who or what pushed the up button. It would be best if we get out
before we find out.” He stated as he picked up his knife, winked and smiled at
me.
    “Your girlfriend seemed a little into you there, you sure you
needed my help?” I laughed as the elevator came to a stop and we both moved to
the sides of the car as the doors opened. Thankfully, nothing came running in,
so we both moved out of the elevator and look down the hallway in both
directions. “We should take the stairs back down. I bet your girlfriend is
waiting patiently at the elevator doors for you to return.”
    “Not funny, dude, but you might have something there. Let’s
hit the stairs.” He whispered as he headed towards the door to the stairs.
    I quickly followed him to the stairwell entrance and we
headed down to the 2 nd -floor. We slowly made our way to the second
floor and stopped to listen. “We should come up with a plan,” I whispered.
    “What do you have in mind?” Butch asked.
    “This door is right by the corner opposite of the elevator.
Maybe one of us should try to sneak out and hide around the corner. Then the
other can open the door and get her attention. Then close the door. That will
draw her over to the stairwell and while she is trying to get in, the other one
could sneak up on her and take care of business.”
    “Ok. Sounds like a plan. Which do you want, be the bait or
the killer?”  Butch asked.
    I really didn’t have any desire to kill the infected, even if
they were already dead. I decided to be the bait.
    I knew Butch would have zero problems killing them. He lived
on a farm growing up and was taught at a young age how to quickly kill
something.
    Is that what I thought of these poor souls, that they were
just something like a farm animal?
    We opened the stairwell door and Butch moved out, heading around
the corner. Thankfully there was carpet on the floor which helped to hide his movement.
Butch pulled out his knife after making it around the corner and stood ready to
finish off his girlfriend. He flashed me a thumbs up and another wink and
smile.
    Smug son of a bitch.
    I gave him the one finger salute and said out loud. “Hey good
looking, I got what you need right here. Let’s have some fun. ”
    Butch had to hold back a laugh. I’m sure I looked like a
frightened little baby and not some guy with swagger.
    The infected woman moaned, turned at the sound of my voice
and started to speed walk towards the stairwell door. She was pretty fast and I
wondered how long she had been this way. I estimated she had been turned about four
hours based on what we had heard on the news.
    I waited too long to close the door because I wanted to make
sure she was totally focused on me to give Butch as much of a chance as
possible. She turned out to be much stronger than I thought for such a small
woman and she slammed the door back into me causing me to fall back against the
wall with the door blocking her access to me. I dropped the bat as I tried to
hold the door pulled tight so she couldn’t get to me.
    Butch ran up from behind and used his knife to end her life.
It was quick and there was a ton of blood. “You’re clear, dude,” Butch whispered
as he stepped into the hallway and wiped his knife off on the blouse of the
dead woman. He helped me up and we stepped into the hallway closing the door
behind us.
    “Thanks. She was stronger than she looked and caught me by
surprise on how quick she was.”
    “Ha, are you sure you’re just not weaker than we knew. The
look on your face was priceless. I’m surprised you didn’t scream like a little
bitch.” He laughed and started walking to the elevator doors.
    “What are you doing?”
    He turned to me, “We need to shut this elevator down
