Sam busted into the apartment. He grabbed a zombie and was about to stab it, when a voice called out.
"STOP!" Kuri cried.
Sam flipped the zombie. It hit its head and was knocked out. "Why can't I kill it?"
"They are brainwashed!" Kuri explained.
Sam knocked out several more, gaping at her. This woman…she was the one in his dream!
Reiko smacked the zombies with a large, freaky-looking jewel. That must be what was causing this.
While he was distracted, two zombies grabbed Kuri. One tried to bite her. Sam lost all control. He attacked the zombies, went to stab them, but Kuri grabbed his arm.
"Don't."
Sam sighed and let them go. Kuri picked up a frying pan and knocked them out. Sam gave her an incredulous look.
"Iron," She explained. "That was the last of them."
Sam laughed, then looked serious. "Where's the one controlling them."
Reiko grinned. The jewel had stopped glowing, and she grabbed it in her fist. "Leave it to me."
