Chapter 11: Shannon's Success
17:38 PM 11th May 1995
The group hadn't gone very far when Elsie woke up.
'That's strange, I feel so…' She thought before realizing her position. "WRPH MRP FKKK!" She screamed into her gag as she struggled violently but futilely against the ropes.
"She's awake now," Lydia commented, "Okay, let's keep going, you're our ticket outta here Elsie."
Unable to make any sort of vocal comeback Elsie just glared at Lydia and the others as she was forced along with them as they entered the service corridor. They then found a staircase leading up to the roof.
"C'mon, we're nearly there." Lisa exclaimed and the group began to move, dragging their unwilling captive along with them.
When they reached the roof however they were met with the sight of the chopper having already taken off and now hovering some distance away, preparing to leave.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me!" John yelled, Lydia growled and dumped Elsie on the ground, "Just great."
"MRFF!" Elsie grunted as she hit the ground, behind the gag however she was smiling. 'The idiots didn't turn my radio off, the team heard everything, this is a trap, Shannon only has one shot left but she'll take it. Then they'll leave and I'll just have to get loose and go for the second evac.'
While the others watched chopper in dismay Elsie lay still, not struggling waiting for her partner and friend to strike. Sure enough, while the group didn't, Elsie spotted it, the thin laser from the laser sight working its way up to John's forehead.
The group watched the chopper in dismay.
"Unbelievable, just when I thought we were finally gonna get outta here." John complained, for once no one was annoyed by his complaining, since they all felt the same way.
"I can't believe this; they weren't supposed to take off for another ten minutes." Lisa complained, "We heard it on the radio."
"Radio…" Lydia realized the horrifying significance of this. "Shit, Elsie's radio was still on, they heard everything about our plan, they knew we were coming."
The others gasped and Elsie laughed, although it was muffled by her gag. It was then Shannon fired her last bullet. The shot rang out and John fell back dead instantly. The group dropped to the ground.
"Fuck it's Shannon!" Lisa yelled, "Her last shot, and she hit."
After the shot the chopper flew away.
"So now what do we do?" Carl asked. Lydia glared at their captive, "We force her to send the signal for her emergency evac and we use that to escape, we'll keep her and make sure her radio is off."
Lisa sighed.
"There's nothing more we can do tonight, let's find a place to rest…and put John somewhere, give a somewhat decent farewell."
The others agreed and got to work. Before long they had put John's body in one of the storerooms in the service corridor, covered with a sheet. They had taken refuge in another storeroom.
"MRPH!" Elsie grunted angrily as Lydia forced her onto a chair and began tying her to it. "You can stay here tonight." Lydia remarked, her anger obvious.
Once she had secured Elsie Lydia joined the others in getting an early rest and going to sleep, hoping that if they got up early enough tomorrow they would have a better chance of finding their way to the emergency evac point. Their last hope.
It was almost midnight when Elsie, after much struggling finally began to loosen the ropes binding her.
'Thank God,' She thought, 'I'll never live this down.'
She wriggled free and soon had all the ropes removed, she stood up and pulled the bandana off her mouth throwing it aside and spitting out the sock.
'Disgusting, can't believe they'd do that to me.' She thought bitterly, 'I can't even find my handgun, just my radio and if I try and take one of their weapons they'll all wake up…Guess I'll just take my radio and slip out.'
She grabbed her radio and silently slipped out of the room and headed to a lower floor. She turned on her radio and communicated with the chairman.
"You missed the evac." He remarked emotionlessly, Elsie cringed, "Yeah I know, I…got distracted by the B.O.W.s
"Again," He stated before continuing, "And because of your fascination you let your guard down. That's why you were captured."
"I know, I've escaped now." Elsie replied, "I need the emergency evac."
"Very well, it will arrive tomorrow at nine AM; it will be on the hospital roof. Be there, or you won't get any further help. Lay low until it is time, understood."
"Yes sir." She replied and the communication ended.
Elsie breathed a sigh of relief and decided to get some sleep, she slipped into a nearby storeroom and before falling asleep she smirked.
'Can't wait to see those idiot's faces when they find out I've escaped.'
With that happy thought she allowed herself to sleep, ready to escape the following day.
