Chapter 3:
Diego tried desperately to catch his breath. He wasn't unfit - far from it, actually, but Buck being taller than Diego, who was not very tall himself, was a struggle for the Sociopathic boy to try and pull over the stack of bones.
They turned to realise that the others were already sprinting through the cemetery. Diego sighed as he sprinted ahead of them, taking the lead back to the asylum. "Hurry up!" he called over his shoulder. Diego didn't slow as he saw the lift in front of them. He leaped over the skeletons and pressed the up button.
The lift dinged as it opened, bathing the room in white light. Sid was behind him, making it into the lift. Crash and Eddie were not too far behind, while Ellie and Manny were still behind. Diego started pressing the combination of numbers, eyes narrowing as his mind raced to provide him with the combinations, only for a yelp from Sid to alert him a second too late about the dog.
The hound tackled him, slamming him to the side. Diego let out a pained hiss, but quickly got up and ducked as the hound moved to bite him.
Buck let out a whoop as he slammed into the hound, using a bone nearby to smash into the hound's skull. Diego managed to get a good look at him - the hound was large for it's size - about as tall as Crash and Eddie, but twice more deadly. Oversized canines were bared, glowing red eyes dangerous in their intent to kill.
"Hurry up!" Buck called.
Diego growled. He turned to Crash. "Finish it!" Crash instantly started pressing buttons, teeth chattering in fear as he struggled to remember the numbers. Manny joined Diego outside, wrapping his arms around the hound's middle. He lifted the hound up. The hound opened it's jaws to bite Manny, but Diego shoved a bone in it. The hound, however, forced it's jaws closed, crushing the bone.
As he turned to bite, he was whacked on the head by Buck, who proceeded to stab the hound with his sharpened bone. Diego then whacked the dog soundly, knocking the hound out.
"Let's go!" Crash yelped.
Manny sprinted to the lift, forcing the doors to stay open. The doors were now trying to close.
"You coming?" Diego turned to Buck.
Buck looked down at the unconscious dog. "I don't think so, mate. I'll stay here."
Diego nodded. "Good luck."
"You too, mate."
Diego sprinted into the lift and shoved Manny in.
"Where's Buck?" Eddie asked.
"He decided to stay." Diego muttered.
The lift dinged as it reached the first floor. They quickly sprinted out, and made their way to the rec room. Diego stopped at the doorway, eyes narrowed as he realised there was now a camera near the lift.
What's with that?
Meanwhile, a man grinned as he watched the last three of the asylum patients disappear, screaming, in the horde of shrieking zombie-like humans. If they could even be called that.
A short fat man scurried up to him. "Sir, they discovered the floor and the tunnel used."
The man leaned forward. "I see." His eyes landed on the man. "Anything else?"
"The sociopath is starting to suspect something."
The man smiled slowly. "Good. Good. Transfer them again."
"The three of them? Or the six of them."
"The six of them."
"Wouldn't it be dangerous if they are together?"
"No. I want to see what they do."
"Yes sir."
"Good."
