Chap 4 Suprises and Sacrifices-
They all walked out in the cold night sky guns in hand. They talked to some of the civilians but to no avail. Either they hadn't seen it or they were afraid to talk about it.
"This isn't going anywhere." sighed Chris as he sat down on a bench.
"Yes it is." Jill said fearfully while pointing into a forest with her gun.
"Its been following us the whole time." whispered Barry.
Chris raised his gun and fired at its neck. The beast was quicker it leaped in the air towards Jill. BAM. Barry blasted it in the side wit his Colt blowing a hole in its stomach.
"Jill, why didn't you run!?"
"I dot know." she said softly. Barry looked down at the "corpse" of the beast.
"I think its dead." All of a sudden the wound healed.
"OH SH-" Barry couldn't finish the sentence, because the beast jumped up and clawed his side.
"OW." he moaned in pain and the fell to the ground.
Jill ran over to him and Knelt down next to him. There was a large gaping wound in his side. Jill ripped of the sleeve of her shirt, and then used it to make a makeshift bandage for Barry.
"Ummm Jill I could use a little help over here." Chris yelled.
Then, the beast turned towards Barry and Jill. It started to run at them. Time seemed to go to a stand still as the events played out. Chris ran forward at the beast as Jill spun around and fired her gun. The creature stopped and shuffled right letting the bullet fly into Chris's chest. Then time went back to normal. Chris fell to the ground holding his chest the creature walked toward him and lifted a giant claw. BAM. The creatures head exploded making a silver substance fly all over Chris shirt. Chris realized what it was and quickly removed his shirt with moving the bullet that was still lodged in his chest. The beast slowly wobbled then fell down
"Lets get out of here." said Jill.
She pulled them both up so they both had a shoulder to lean on. Then they walked back to the RPD building. When they were there Jill took the bullet out of Chris's chest.
"I don't think its dead." said Chris.
"Same with me." They both looked over at Barry who was sleeping on a couch.
"Maybe we should get some sleep to." said Chris. They both walked into the lounge and locked the door behind them.

It was quiet at the airport that day. Only a few people going and coming here or there. Rebecca thought that since it was 4:00AM that might also be the reason. She rubbed or temples slowly. She didn't know why but that day she had an extremely bad headache. She looked over at Steve who looked weird. Sort of dazed. His eyes were bloodshot and cloudy and he kept scatching his arms. She had talked to Claire about it before but she hadn't noticed. Finally there flight was called and they came aboard. Thankfully Barry had bought them first class tickets. Rebecca sat down and closed her eyes trying to fall asleep so her headache would go away. When they took off the hum of the engine lulled her to sleep. After about 2 hours on the flight Rebecca started shaking. Claire nudge her and she woke up and gasped.
" I had a nightmare. Steve died in it." Steve whipped his head towards her, his red bangs swaying lightly. They all sat there for a while thinking about her dream.
***
When they arrived the man unloading the cargo went to the cargo hold. He grabbed a few bags, but he saw a shadow against the back of the wall. He went over to investigate when something jumped out at him. The beast thrust its large claws in and out of the mans body. Blood gushed from the deep ragged wound and the creature took one final swipe, its claws melting through the mans face.
***
Back at the RPD building things were going along pretty well. Or at least thats what Chris thought, or if you want to call WELL not seeing a mutant creature in a while. Barry sat at the receptionists desk waiting for something to happen. Then Barry thought about it. Claire and Steve claim they were attacked by cerberus and Chris said he was attacked b a zombie. No ones coming through the door claiming they saw any thing suspicious. None came into the RPD building. No cops. No investigators. Barry had never fond that suspicious until now.
"Why didn't I think of it before."
He walked over to the lounge door and went inside. Chris and Jill were talking inside.
"Hey have you guys ever thought it was kind of weird that no one showed up to work to day?"
"We were just talkin' about that." said Chris.
"You think any thing is goin' on."
All of a sudden they heard an unearthly moan. Barry took out his gun and went out to the lobby..
"Um I think You guys should take a look at this."
Chris and Jill ran out to the lobby and drew their guns ones the saw it. A whole mob of zombies was coming towords them. Chris walked outside and looked at the hungry crowd. "Shit."
***
Rebecca got of the plane and stetched her arms. They walked into the airport and waited for there bags. Nothing came. Soon a large crowd had formed around the conveyer belt. A man that worked in the airport walked over.
"Folks, what seems to tbe the problem."
One of the people in the crowd said.
"The coveyer belts jammed or something."the man went over to the opening.
"Something is in there." He reached in and grabbed it, then tugged as hard as he could. The headless torso of a man came out. There were shouts, cries, and people throwing up in the crowd. The man reached into his back pocket and took out a walkie-talkie.
"Security, get down he-" All of a sudden a green and scaly beast jumped out of the conveyer belt and onto the man.
***
Chris ran back in the building.
"I'll barricade the doors, you guys go get weapons."
Chris said while drawing his gun. Jill and Barry ran off to get weapons. Chris slid a desk against the front doors, then backed up and waited. The zombies bang on the door and wailed. Jillm came in carrying 2 M16s and a shotgun. Chris reached down and picked up the shotgun and pumped it.
"Lets go."
***
They creature plunged its claws into the mans chest ripping him in half. They all drew their guns. (If your wondering how they got the guns on board, Rebecca showed the air port people her badge-if you know wat i mean ;-)) The creature looked at Rebecca and lunged at her. She swivled out off the way and they all shot at it.Black holes appeared on its skin. By this time the whole airport was in chaos. People were screaming and running everywhere. The creature turned to them again and spit at them. The acid hit Steves gun melting it away. He needed to find a weapon and fast. He looked around for anything to use. He looked down at the security guard, or what was left of him. The security guard had a gun. He ran over and picked it up. The same kind he had. He turned to the monster and lifted his gun.
***
Chris went behind the reseptionists desk to use as a bloccaide. Barry and Jill quickly joined him. The desk that was pushed against the door was shacking and cracking. Suddenly a hunter Beta jump through the window. (Insert favorite rock song here) Chris lifted his shotgun and fired at the Hunter blowing it away. All of a sudden their desk blockade was pushed out of the way and zombies started to flood through. Jill open fire tearing open a zombies skull, its decaying brain being ripped to gray liquid. They kept fireing until they ran out of ammo. Chris threw his gun to the ground and pulled out his pistol. They ALL drew their pistols. The zombies lurched forword toword the trio. Suddenly they heard a scream. Chris moved his gun towords the direction of the scream.
"So we aren't the only ones who survived in this hell-hole. Jill slaped a fresh clip into her gun.
"We gotta find him."
Chris stared at the lounge door.
" The lounge has windows, we can make a break for it there. Barry shook his head.
"So does the armory, and we can reload on ammo there."
Jill pointed to the door that zombies were coming in from.
"Remember, that person is still out there. "We have to go out there and find him before its too late." Chris shook his head. "We all go our seperate ways then meet up at the Keno gun shop, got it?" They all nodded their heads in agreement. Jill took off to the front door and Barry ran towords the armory. Chris stood there and breathed in slowly. "This is gonna be bad."
***
Back at the airport things weren't going to well either. The monster to swipe after swipe at our heros.
Steve fired another round in the beasts direction.
"You guys, I don't think this is working."
Rebecca ducked under the monsters claw. "Ya maybe we should run."
"Good idea." said Claire.
They all ran through the airport searching for a place to hide. Suddenly Claire grabbed Steve and Rebecca's arms and pulled them into a bathroom.They slammed the door behind them and locked it. Steve leaned heavly against the door and exhaled slowly. The sound of the beast's footsteps died off and Steve put his gun in his belt.
"Were never gonna get outta here."
Suddenly Rebecca walked over and slapped him across the face.
"I'd rather you be dead than say that."
Just as she said that a giant claw thrust out of Steves stomach. Claire jumped back. "HOLY SHIT!"
The claw withdrew and Steve slid to the ground. Blood gushed from the gapping hole in his stomach. "Claire I-"
He was cut off by the door being kicked down on top of him. He gasped as they all heard a crack come from his ribs. The Reptilian beast stood in the doorway.
They all walked out in the cold night sky guns in hand. They talked to some of the civilians but to no avail. Either they hadn't seen it or they were afraid to talk about it.
