CH.6 The clock tower
I awakened to the smell and sound of flames. The car had crashed through a wall of the clock tower. It was in a bedroom. I picked up my gear. I still had my Glock and MP5. I wanted to keep that gun. I broke down the door of the trolley and stepped out. I unholstered my Glock before going forward. Then I heard another moan. Three zombies rose out of the flame and shuffled toward me. I shot them in the head and left the room. I needed some handgun bullets fast. I only had three clips left. I sat down in a lounge room and looked around. A glass table and fireplace were the highlights. I saw bottled water next to the table. I knew it would not be contaminated so I drank down one bottle and stuck another in my leg bag. I then exited the room. The next room had more zombies waiting. I fired more bullets into zombie heads. When all the zombies were dead I tried to open another door but it was locked. I entered another door that led to the hall and grand staircase. My mind raced as questions burst into my head. Where is Jill and Carlos and what of the huge guy. I ran to a dead mercenary. He died fighting like all the other mercenaries. My hand was sweating when I opened the door to a dining room. I heard voices. I entered the door with weapon ready. I trained my Glock on... Carlos!!. I had found him and Jill. " Derek, your alive " exclaimed Jill. we hugged and she gave me a kiss. " It's good your both alive too " I said. Then I got serious. " So what's our game plan". I asked Carlos. " We must ring the bell at the top of this clock tower " he replied. " Okay let's go " said Jill. " Hold it " murmured Carlos. I wondered what he was thinking. " We can't let the zombies have the chapel " said Carlos. Carlos went to some chapel to defend it. I went up the stairs in the hall. I heard a sound and spotted a huge spider on the roof. I saw a bomb under it and fired my Glock. The spider died and spilled it's green blood on the floor. Jill followed me up the stairs and onto a balcony. I inserted a key I had found earlier into a slot with a ladder above it. The ladder came down and we climbed up. It was a small room which worked the bell. I moved to the gears. There were four gears there. I fitted two of the extras into the machine and started it. It worked and the bell started ringing. I climbed back down the ladder. When Jill was down we walked to the courtyard and saw a helicopter flying above. " Looks like it's over " I said with glee " " Yep" replied Jill. Then I heard the all familiar " STARS " roared the trench coat guy. The monster had gotten another rocket launcher and was pointing it up at the chopper. " NNNNOOOOOOO" cried Jill but it was to late. The big dope fired the weapon and hit the chopper's midsection. The helicopter went down in a huge fireball. The moments of hapiness faded. I charged at the monster firing my Glock. He took the bullets like pinpricks. I felt myself fly across the courtyard a second later. " Man this guy packs a punch " I said to myself. Then the monster picked me up with some kind of tentacle. " AAAAHHH " I screamed. " DEREK " cried Jill as the monster heaved me over a brick wall. I landed hard and rolled into a trashed car. Just then at least 30 zombies were shuffling toward me. I used my pistol to shoot them at long range. My Glock clicked empty so I inserted a fresh one. Then 6 more zombies came from behind. I quickly unholstered my MP5 and mowed them to the ground. I ran to the gate leading to the courtyard. The zombies were closing in. At that instant Carlos jumped into the courtyard and started blasting the big guy with M4A1 ammo. The trench coat monster loaded his rocket launcher and fired. Carlos was sent into a wall. " AAAAAHHHH " yelled Carlos as he continued his assault. The monster loaded another rocket and prepared to fire. Carlos put some bullets into the weapon and blew it up. By now the zombies were really close. I climbed onto a brick wall and turned to face them. I unsheathed my combat knife and started stabbing the walking dead. My blade cut easily into zombie brains. I yanked my knife out of the last zombie and cleaned its bloody blade. I aimed my Glock and fired a round at the lock on the gate. It swung open and I ran into the courtyard. The big dude's coat had been burned off. He rose from the ground and lumbered toward Jill. Jill aimed and fired her grenade launcher into its chest. The monster fell to the ground. I used this oppertunity to empty my current MP5 clip into the monster. A pool of purple blood formed underneath the monster. I reloaded my MP5 and celebrated. Then Jill fell to the ground. " Jill " I cried. I ran to her and cradled her head in my lap. " Don't die Jill " I pleaded. By now Carlos had rejoined me. I carried Jill to the chapel and laid her on a table. " I'm infected " said a shocked Jill. " Don't worry I'll take care of you " I tried to calm her down. Carlos planned to head to the hospital and retrieve a vaccine for Jill. I agreed to guard Jill and keep the chapel safe. Carlos opened the door out of the chapel and headed to the hospital.
Thanks for the reviews everyone.
Oh and thanks Mikhail Victor for the correction.
