Ch. 3 The Hospital
They continue driving and as they reach a gas station Church sits up. He opens his eyes, they are an odd yellowish color. He lunges at Jack and latches around his neck and begins to eat away at his flesh.
Jack- What the fuck?
The opposite car sees the Mercedes begin to swerve and then it flips and rolls into a gas pump causing it to immediately combust.
Hawkins- Fuck me…
Seth- Damn…
Caitlyn- wait… the hospital… it's that way.
The van turns to the right and drives to the hospital. The group pulls up at the hospital there are various overturned and burning cars. Bodies are littered here and there… and then, a glimpse of a helicopter on top of the Hospital. Some zombies are walking around.
Caitlyn- okay if we can get to that helicopter we can fly it back to your SWAT office or headquarters or what ever and we can hold up inside.
Hawkins- good idea. We will need to make one stop though we would have to stock up on some food supplies, and we should raid the hospital supply closet for medicines and bandages and things. And I can fly the helicopter but before anyone complains, I am not a registered pilot so…
Seth- don't worry we wont complain
Chance- yeah and look at it this way you wont have to worry about stealing the chopper because most of the cops are either dead or gone into hiding…
Andrew- yeah dude, just kill any hope we have of help coming along…
Caitlyn- both of you shut up
Hawkins- each of you get a duffel bag and load as much into it as you can but leave the grenades to me.
The group loads up and then they jump out of the Van and run inside the hospital. It is trashed and there is a blood trail leading to the stairwell.
Seth- wow… we missed the party…
Andrew- Seth dude shut up…
Seth- what…
Hawkins- hey… that's the way up to the roof.
Caitlyn- how do we go about getting the medical stuff?
Seth- Leave that to me Chance and Brice we are the three National Gaurdsmen
Chance- yeah…
Hawkins- anyway, well get up to the helicopter then Seth, Brice, Thomas, and Chance will go for supplies.
Kyle- why did you leave me, Todd, and Andrew out
Hawkins- no offense guy but you guys don't seem to be fit enough to high tail it out of a bad situation.
Andrew- fuck
Hawkins- Brice lead-the-way.
Brice- right
Brice leads the group to the helicopter. And they load their equipment inside it. The helicopter could easily seat the entire group and has a decent bit of supplies, some morphine shots, and some splints and gauze and some disinfectant.
Hawkins- now guys, I want you to go get as many antibiotics as you can carry.
Seth- got it.
Hawkins- and if any zombies or those dog things come-out we're gone… we'll stay as long as possible, but if it gets out of control we're gone.
Seth- don't say anything else dude
Chance- yeah its already gonna be hard enough to go back inside without knowing you could leave without us knowing about
Leila grabs Seth and brings him in for a deep kiss
Leila- be carefull Seth
Seth- I will Leila, well Brice, since you actually work here you can lead the way
Brice- okay
Brice leads them back inside and shows back into the lobby. They are met with several zombies.
Brice- Shit dude
Seth- You said it man
Brice raises his M4 to fire but Thomas stops him.
Thomas- Don't shoot, we'll take them out silently so that other zombies in the building don't come after us.
Seth- Good call
They rush forward and Brice grabs a zombie and snaps its spine in a suplex, Seth big boots a zombie and crushes its rib cage then he steps on its head. Thomas hits a zombie in the jaw with the butt of his rifle and snaps its neck.
Chance- Damn dude
Chance punches a zombie in the spine and it snaps. Then Brice grabs a zombie by the throat and throws him head-first into a wall.
Brice- dude if we weren't in such deep shit… I could get used to this.
Seth- I hear ya bro
Thomas- dude…
Chance- I think it's a little early to celebrate
Brice- What…
Seth- Holy Fuck
A huge zombie is slowly walking towards the 4 guys. Seth rushes it but it grabs him by the throat and throws him against the wall.
Seth- Fuck…
He slides down the wall leaving a blood trail from were his arm was cut by the picture he was tossed against. Brice rushes the zombie but it just tosses him a across the room.
Brice- ahh shit that hurt
Chance- Fuck you big fucking-
Chance rushes the zombie but it grabs him by the throat and raises him up to eye level. The zombie is topping out at just over 7 feet tall. Chance is hanging a foot above the floor.
Chance (choking) – dude… help… me…
Seth- hey you fat fuck come get me…
The zombie throws Chance over the medical counter and lumbers towards Seth who rushes it with his knife in his right hand. Seth at the zombie with his blade drawn but the zombie grabs him by the throat and tosses him through an observation window into the next room.
Thomas- fuck it…
Thomas shoots the zombie in the head and dispatches it. Then Brice goes hops through the broken window to see if Seth is okay. He is unconscious. Brice carries Seth back into the lobby and meets the three others.
Chance- how is he…
Brice- he's fine just unconscious.
Thomas- good. We should get out of here before we run into another one of those big things.
Brice- right lets go
Seth- ah… hey, put me down…
Brice sets Seth down against the wall.
Seth- what happened to the zombie
Thomas- I had to blast it.
Chance- uhh guys…
Seth- not again.
What seems to be an entire army of zombies is standing across from the group. Brice fireman carries Seth and the leads the rest back up the stairs to the helicopter. It is preparing to leave. They climb aboard and the helicopter takes off as roof is overrun by zombies. Back inside the chopper Seth and Chance are being bandaged up.
Leila has wrapped Seth's forehead, right forearm, and left knee in a sterile bandage. And Chance has his wring and middle finger of his left hand splinted together and his arm is wrapped in a dressing.
Seth- Damn that was close. Leila where did you learn to do first aid?
Leila- well I was a cheer leader…
Seth- that just means you… never mind.
Leila- that just means I what?
Seth- well I was going to say that just means you look good
Leila- oh… well thank you
Seth- you're welcome, but that still doesn't explain why you know first aid…
Leila- well while we were practicing, someone was dropped on her arm and broke it. The bone was sticking out and when we called 911 they told me to wrap it and I been interested ever since.
Seth- Oh got ya.
Scott- hate to be the bearer of bad news but the P. D. is on fire…
Todd- yeah, we have to find another place to hold up.
Seth- don't even fucking joke like that dude…
Brice- they aren't joking Seth, the building is burning
Leila- I have a suggestion as to where we can go…
Thomas- where?
Leila- well if we g to the beach Ashley's family has a yacht.
Ashley- Yeah and the yacht has got a helipad on it.
Hawkins- okay… but we still have to get to the beach, refuel and stock up on food and supplies.
Thomas- yeah and I aint goin into anymore hospitals.
Seth- Me neither.
Brice- we got out of there fine
Seth- yeah but those zombies were everywhere, god forbid we run into friggin fat bastard again
Andrew- Hey…
Seth- not you bro
