The next day, Dana woke up late. She looked at her alarm clock and sighed. "12:39 already? You've got to be kidding me…" Forcing herself to get up, Dana changed clothes fairly quickly and put on a baseball cap to cover up her bed head. She then walked down the hall towards the cafeteria. She was starving.

As she walked through the cafeteria doors, Dana noticed for the first time that there were cameras all around, lining the walls. Feeling a little uncomfortable at the fact that she and the other people here were being monitored, she walked into the busy room. She gathered cheap looking food together onto a tray and sat down at an empty table.

Before she knew it, a soldier came and sat at the opposite side of the table as her. It was the same man she had seen standing outside the day before, the one who had gray hair with a white streak that could be seen more clearly now. He smiled at her. Dana raised one eyebrow at him, but then looked back down to her food as she continued to eat, ignoring him.

He looked into her eyes and said something Dana half expected, "You know, there really aren't too many women around here."

Dana rolled her eyes. "Get a life."

He looked disappointed but tried again, "My names Robert. Robert Cross, the Specialist."

Dana looked away with and uninterested nod and kept eating her food. "That's nice."

Robert frowned at her. A small group of scientists and researchers came over and sat at the table as well. Standing up, Robert looked at Dana. "We'll see each other again." And with that, he left.

Dana then turned her attention to the other people that were now sitting at the table with her. They were talking about normal things just like normal people. It was almost as if they believed that the zombie infestation wasn't as bad as it seemed. She was about to attempt to join into the conversation when an ear piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

Red lights flashed everywhere, and people started to stand up all over the room. A robotic female voice came over the speaker system announcing, "RED ALERT. RED ALERT. ALL WORKERS PLEASE PROCEED TO YOUR ROOMS. THIS IS AN EMERGANCY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."

People in the cafeteria all looked around as if they didn't understand what had just been said. Nobody said a word, and the alarm continued to sound, the voice repeating itself over and over. Then, all of a sudden a door burst open. Dana swung her head around along with the other people around her and gasped. There was no mistaking that figure standing in the doorway. It was Alex. He had out his whip arm, and immediately began to grab and throw people all over the place.

Dana ran through the door on the opposite side of the room along with many terrified, screaming people. Most dispersed to their own paths as Dana ran as fast as she could to her room. She had no idea why Alex was here. She hadn't told him she was there and she didn't necessarily want him to find out, not sure how he would react.

As Dana reached her door, she was horrified to find that it was locked. She reached into her pocket for her keys and looked down the hall to see many other people running in her direction. Alex skidded around the corner, now with his blade arm out. He sliced through everyone in his path, blood splattering on the walls. Dana was fumbling with her keys at her door, unable to open it with her shaking hands.

Alex charged up to her and slammed her to the wall and then to the ground, using his free hand. He was just about to slice her as well when he stopped his swing, his blade right at her neck. "Dana?" He looked down at her in confusion. "No… can't be…"

Lowering his blade arm, Alex took hold of the bill of the hat that Dana was wearing, taking it off. Too taken aback for words, Alex stood up and stumbled backwards, staring at Dana's face. After a few seconds, he was somewhat over his shock. "What are you doing here!" He now had an angry tone to his voice.

Dana stood up and faced him, now mostly calm seeing he wouldn't hurt her. He was standing in front of her door. "I'm helping them, and I need to get to my room to do that."

Alex glared at her. "Your helping them? You might be my sister Dana, but… working with the enemy makes you one as well…" He brought his blade arm up once more, as a threat now.

Dana shrugged. "Go ahead. Slice me in half Alex, but you can't do that now can you?"She walked around him to her door. Alex's expression changed from angry, to a look of hurt and confusion. Dana finally unlocked her door and stepped inside. She turned to face Alex, and he turned to face her as well. With a serious stare she made her point, "You see?" And then, just as he had done to her, she closed her door in his face.

Dana stood facing the door listening to the alarm continuing to sound. Then she heard Alex yell over the noise, "Dana! What the hell do you think you're doing!" Dana didn't reply, so Alex began to knock on the door, although it didn't sound like a knock so much as what it would sound like for a normal person to pound their fist against the wood with much force. "Dana, don't make me break through this door!"

Knowing that Alex could and would break through her door, Dana moved to the side. She waited for him to crash through, but nothing happened. He had stopped hitting the door, and didn't say anything. Deciding he must have left, Dana was about to let out a long sigh and sink into her couch when she heard her anti zombie noise.

Looking down at her walkie-talkie, Dana confirmed it wasn't coming from anything belonging to her. She then realized with regret that she had told the soldiers and other Gentech researchers about the sound file.

Dana threw open her door. Alex lay on the ground in front of her, writhing in agony once more. Fully regretting what she had shared with Gentech and the military, Dana looked down the hall to see military soldiers running towards her and Alex. Included in this group was Robert, the man that had been bothering her earlier.

Holding some sort of new sound device in his hand, Robert ran up to Alex and held it up to his ear. Alex let out a loud scream of pain. Blood began to flow out of his ears and nose. Dana stared down, unable to help her brother at this point, feeling extremely guilty, but knowing she couldn't do much.

Alex's movements began to slow down. His screams stopped, and eventually his hands went limp from his hold on his head. Robert smiled and turned the frequency and volume down, but kept the sound playing. One soldier from the day before looked down at Alex nervously. "Is he… Dead?"

Robert laughed. "Of course not. Gentech wants this one alive." He looked up at Dana and winked at her. Dana didn't notice though, she was still too shocked to see Alex in the state he was in. Robert tried to get her attention, "That was pretty close there. Another second and it looks like you could have been a goner. Good thing I was here."

Dana shook her head in disgust. The soldiers picked Alex up and began to walk with him down the hall, Robert still holding the noise device near his ear. Not knowing what she should do, Dana looked down the hall and watched them as they carried Alex around the corner towards the stairs.
