Now, you would think that she would've fallen to the floor screaming bloody murder, right? Nope, she stopped, looked at her wound, then looked at me, hissed, then took a step. I fired into her other leg, and she still kept coming, I then fired three more bullets into her chest, but she wouldn't stop. I couldn't hear anything except the blood, racing in my ears as the scientist was right on top of me. Until, bullets flew past my ear and the scientist was flung back from the force of the bullets that was put inside of her. "I'm not." Rain said giving me a look of 'That's what you're supposed to do.' "I shot her five times. How was she still standing?" I asked looking over my shoulder to see Rain pulling a roll of gauze out. "Bitch isn't standing now." She told me, looking at me with disgust. As Rain wrapped her hand, Matt walked up, we both acknowledge his presence by looking at him, and running footsteps close behind. Almost instantly Kaplan showed up with Alice, J.D and Spence close behind him. "What was with the shooting?" He asked. "We found a survivor." Rain told him. "And you shot them?" Kaplan asked like she was crazy. "She was crazed, she bit me." Rain told him, venom clear in her voice. I went over to see if the survivor survived the attack. "She's gone." I said, shock clear in my voice. "She's gone." I said louder so that everyone heard me. "That's bullshit." Rain said coming over to where I was. "She fell right here," I said pointing to the empty pile of plastic hoes where she landed "and she's gone!" I told Rain anger clear in my voice. "Hey, look at this," Alice said looking at the floor "its blood, but not a whole lot of it." Matt went over and squatted down. "Looks like it coagulated." He said to her. "Yeah…" I said to him. "That's not possible." He told me, getting up. "Why not?" J.D asked, getting in Matt's face. "Because blood doesn't do that until after you're dead." Matt said coolly. "Can we go now?" Spence asked. "We're not going anywhere until the rest of the team gets here." Rain said. There was a brief moment of silence. When no one said anything I looked to Kaplan for answers. He looked at Alice and she shifted uncomfortably. 'No.' I thought. "There's no one else coming." Kaplan said. I advanced onto him; the front part of his leather jacket wrapped half way around my hand, my other one drawn back in a fist. "What the fuck you talking about?" She asked. As she started to approach Kaplan after I had gotten to him, a loud scraping noise of metal on metal echoed in the room. "Wait." J.D said stopping her and pulling me off of him. Matt looking behind him to see if his back was safe. "Quiet." J.D said. Everyone was looking around for the source. I could hear the sound, one that sounded like someone walking on a broken ankle or something. As the sound drew closer, growing louder, we saw a bald man, dragging a safety axe walking toward us on a broken ankle. I gave a visible twitch when I saw the man step onto his right dismembered foot, the need to puke growing very strong. We all pulled our guns up ready to fire at will, when we saw that we were surrounded. Rain even lowered her gun a little bit, terror clear in her face. I could feel my blood boiling even faster, especially when I looked back and saw that everyone else had the same look on their faces, including my own. "Don't come any closer!" Kaplan ordered. 'Not going to work.' I thought to myself. "They're behind us! Guys we're surrounded!" Spence yelled. "No dip Sherlock!" I yelled at him. As the things grew even closer we could hear their hissing and see the missing pieces of their faces and other body parts. "Jesus!" Kaplan cried out when even more started to come into sight. "God help the worthy." I muttered. I could hear the faint jingle of keys and realized that Matt must've stolen the keys to the cuffs at one point, but was soon distracted by Alice saying, "They're everywhere." That's when the scientist from before jumped onto Rain. Rain, trying to remain calm, wrapped her hands around the scientist' head, and twisted. The body fell to the floor unmoving. Simultaneously Rain and I looked at the things before us and steady ourselves as we aimed our guns at them. Taking a deep breath, we open fired.
A chorus of gun shots fell right in line with ours as we shot in the chests and aimed for the heads, or any other vital points. The one that was right in front of Rain started getting back up. I saw her lower her weapon in surprise. She continued to fire though, even as these things started to trickle in one right after another. "I said stay back!" Kaplan ordered, obvious that he's scared. "Just shut up and shoot!" I yelled at him, firing of another twenty bullets at once. "Why aren't they dying?" Alice asked. "Spence has disappeared." I said into the radio. To keep a main stream of bullets J.D and I accidentally shot through the tank that was in the middle, and shot the thing that was advancing on both of us. I backed up to him so that we were back to back and said, "That was a tie, I'm still keeping you to your word." I heard him chuckle and him say, "Good to have the fun you back." I smiled and kept firing. "Watch the tank! The tank!" Alice shouted. "Let's move!" J.D said. "Hurry up!" Rain shouted behind her to those of us who didn't hear. "Come on let's go! Move!" I said. I didn't know that Alice was slow to understand the command and she and Matt got separated from us. Two minutes later there was a loud explosion from where we just were. "We lost the others!" Kaplan yelled. "Keep moving!" J.D ordered. I jumped up and managed to grab onto a ledge near the top of the tank and pulled myself up. I saw that Rain had thought similarly for she was on a higher platform shooting down onto the things like me. I saw Kaplan run by my station and heard him say, "You're waiting?" Spence's voice soon said, "I didn't know the code." It ticked me off that he was still an ass to Kaplan even though he has no memory of him. After hearing the buttons being pressed Kaplan swore and Spence was being the ass he is towards him, telling him to hurry up. More swearing and assing was heard from behind until finally J.D snapped. "What's taking so long?" He shouted behind him. "I'm trying!" Kaplan shouted. "J.D!" I yelled warning him. He looked ahead of him and fired at the nearing targets. J.D was finally sick of waiting and left his post to relieve Kaplan. I jumped down, still firing after waiting two seconds, and filled his spot. "Hurry up I'm almost out of ammo!" Rain yelled. "What's the code?" J.D asked. Kaplan came up beside my right as Rain was on my left, finishing the circle around the door. "Zero, two, four, six…No fuck!" Kaplan said in frustration. "Focus I yelled to him. "Zero, four, three, six…Fuck!" Kaplan shouted as he shot. Spence came up to him got in his bubble, and mine, and asked, "What's the code?" Kaplan looked back, me taking over both his and my own targets. "Zero, four," Kaplan waited for J.D to put it in, "zero, three, one, nine, six, five!" I continued to shoot for him until the very last word, until I heard J.D say, "Got it. See how that easy it was?" I looked back, smiling that my "older brother" managed to remain calm enough to get the doors open, just to see the said magnetic metal doors slide apart to reveal a whole other room filled with these creatures! "J.D!" I shouted seeing him being pulled in as Spence jumped out of their reach. Rain was close behind me, both of us reaching him at the same time. "Grab our hands!" I kept shouting. These things started to bite at us but they never reached our skin thanks to the, leather, jackets. "J.D! No!" was all I said as his hand slipped from mine, I could hear him calling our names, over and over again, as I was pulled back. "You promised! You can't! J.D! No, you can't!" I shouted as Spence held me in place, holding tight against my struggling. He was the only who could ever hold me in place. Things grew very quiet, almost as if I had gone deaf. I couldn't hear anything. I felt numb. I was pushed forward and when I stood still I was dragged along. We ran into a sealed room, and closed all of the doors. "Where are the bodies? Where did they go?" Kaplan asked, pure fear not even scathing me. I was brought to a wall where I fell onto it and slid to the floor. "Whatever they are, there's too many of them now." Rain said, completely void of all emotion as she walked away from the door. Her voice reached through me, as I looked up at her, tears silently sneaking down my face. "Whatever they are? It's pretty obvious what they are!" Kaplan said, pacing around panicking. "Lab coats! Badges! Those people use to work here!" "All of the people working here are dead." I said, my voice sounded dead, even to me. "Well it doesn't stop them from walking around." Spence said. "Well where did they come from? Why didn't we see them on the way in?" Kaplan asked his panicking grating on my nerves. "When you cut the power, you unlocked the door!" I told him, "You let them out!" Kaplan looked at me like I was one of those things out there. I watched as Rain did an ammo check in her gun and seeing that it was empty, threw it to the floor. I decided to check mine as well and saw that I still had half a mag. "She was right. We're never gonna make it to the surface." Kaplan said. "Oh shut up will you?" I asked, I finally snapped my British accent coming out. "What the hell is your problem Hell?" Kaplan asked me. "I don't bloody know! Maybe it's the fact that I just fucking lost my only real friend! Maybe it's because I'm trapped underground with a bunch of flesh eating freaks! Or, you're gonna love this; I'm stuck in a room with the number one person who freaks out over every little thing! And now that we have something to actually freak out about I'm stuck in the same bloody room as you! And Spence doesn't even come near helping things!" I shouted getting up in his face and bumping chests. "Hey, Elizabeth. Now's not the time to be starting fights." Rain said calmly, putting her hand on my shoulder. That little touch and her calm voice soothed me back into my numbness. She pulled me close to her and let me stand there crying tears I didn't know were falling. I didn't know I was crying until Rain started saying things to me. "I know. I know. It'll be okay. I know. I-I know. I miss him too." Rain said to me. I couldn't think of what it was I was saying, all I want, all I really wanted, the only clear thought was. "The wall." I rasped out. "What?" Rain asked. "Can I go back to the wall?" I asked her. "Yeah, I'm going to keep you company." Rain told me, walking me back to my corner. "Time?" Kaplan asked. "One seventeen." She said. I fell against the wall and slid into my normal position with my arms wrapped loosely around my knees, that way, if needed, I could get up easily and bring my half full gun around. I looked to my left to see Rain looking strait, just into nothing, tears slinking down her face, and her shoulders shaking, beyond her was another door. I focused on her then, snuggling up to her and snaking my arms around her waist like I use to do when we had finished a romantic dinner. She didn't tense; instead what she did was exactly the opposite. She pulled me onto her lap and hugged me tightly, crying into my shoulder. I did my best to hug her back and be comforting but, she didn't leave me much wiggle room, so I just sat there wiping away both of our tears. "Time?" I asked softly. She just showed me her watch, 'One hour and five minutes.' I said. "Okay, I'm better. Get off." She said quietly, gently pushing me to the floor. "Very smooth." I said as I scooted over to my corner, one leg up, and the other on the floor with my hands in between my lap. I could hear a fast movement outside the walls that my head was resting on. Wanting to hear clearer, I pressed my ear onto the wall harder. "Rain." I said. She noticed the tone of my voice and started messing with her hand gun. She was about to put it away when nothing had happened in the last two minutes or so when the door to her left suddenly opened. Alice and Matt slipped in trying to keep the door as closed as possible "Shouting don't shoot"! But there were still those things trying to get in. Rain and I were the first to reach them and pull them in while Spence struggled to close the door. Rain and I switch targets as we tried to force ourselves against the door. One of them had grabbed Spence's arm and I snapped the wrist bone by karate chopping the hand at the weakest spot, right where the bone connects with the rest of the arm. The hand went limp and Spence got out of there and I snapped the arm at the elbow and it went limp just outside the door, giving Rain and I the advantage we needed. "Son of a bitch!" Spence complained. We closed the door and I locked it without a second thought. "We got to get out of this. What about that door?" Alice asked, crossing the floor. "They're out that one too!" Kaplan told her. She stopped and looked down into the well polished glass empty hallway. "That way?" She asked. "It's a dead end. There's no way out of the Queens chamber." Kaplan said. Alice walked over to me and gave me a long look before continuing her circling of the room. "So we wait?" Spence asked, "So that when no one finds me they'll send back up or something, right?" Kaplan, Rain and I all shared a long glance at each other. "What? What's wrong?" Spence asked, anger and annoyance slapping us in the face. "There's not much time." Kaplan said. I sat back down against my wall while Rain explained. I couldn't really hear anything as a memory slipped into my consciousness.
