Way Out?
Max crumpled to the floor and Maz knelt beside her and hugged her, tears pouring down her cheeks as well. Higgy walked over to Red and took her in her arms and Red buried her face in Higgy's leather coat.
"Come on guys." Mel found her voice. "We gotta keep moving."
Red looked up from Higgy's coat, flicking her hair out her face and wiped a tear from her eye.
"She's right, we betta keep going."
Maz helped Max to her feet and everyone began to continue down the corridor
There was a huge door ahead. BJ looked around; everyone stood perfectly still, staring silently at the door. She walked forward and pulled at the door. There was a noise, like escaping air and the door slid open. She peered out, it was empty or at least that was how it seemed.
"The coast is clear." They all crept out, guns in hand. They walked around the corridor to the left. It went round to a straight part of corridor, a dead end. There was a door at the end, Jo and BJ edged forward and DL spoke up, "Maybe we should turn back, you know maybe check the other way?"
"This way's as good as any other." Jo replied, still edging towards the door. She peered through the window, she couldn't see anything.
"What do you think Higgs?" Red asked.
"Well, I, for one, want to get out of this fucking place so...let's go."
Mel and Spam had soon cracked the lock and they walked into the room beyond the door. There were some computers, Spam and Mel set to work, trying to find a way out. DL went with Red to check the adjoining rooms for zombies. The first three were empty but the forth was a different story. There were five zombies in there, with 3 of the dogs that they fought earlier.
They didn't spot them immediately. "Err...Higgs."
"What?"
"Umm...we have a slight problem."
"Oh Shit" Higgy ran up to them and looked into the room. One of the zombies looked towards the door and Higgy pulled them out of the way, but not quick enough, the zombie had already seen them. It gave an ear-splitting cry and charged followed by the others. The others got out their guns and began shooting. Mel and Spam went to get up and help but Morlena shook her head. "Keep working!"
They nodded and did as they were told, tapping frantically at the keyboard keys.
Higgy took two down and Max shot one with her taser. Red ran forward and swung her axe above her head, bringing it down in one clean swipe, chopping one of the dogs, heads in half. Two were about to attack, Mel and Spam but they were soon dead, thanks to Morlena's handwork with her sword. By now most of the zombies were dead, but no-one noticed the dog in the shadows. They began to congratulate themselves and the dog crept up behind DL.
Red looked at the zombies bodies around her and noticed there were only two dogs, she was sure she'd seen three.
"Hey guys, where's the third dog?"
Suddenly, DL cried out in pain and fell to the floor. The dog was tearing into her leg with its teeth, biting almost to the bone. Higgy ran up and kicked the dog in the face, making it let go of DL. Maz shot it in the head from behind and Red crouched next to DL.
DL looked down at her leg, seeing the hugs bite mark. "Oh Bugger!"
Red raised her eyebrows slightly at Higgy and Morlena looked at the wound. "We betta bind it, to try and stop some of the bleeding." She got out her medical pack and ripped some material from inside to make a bandage. DL winced as she wrapped it around and Max approached Mel and Spam.
"How are we doin' guys?"
"I can't find anything." Mel replied.
"Neither can I...hey wait a minute..."
"What is it?" Mel asked as she got up form her chair and stood next to Spam. "There seems to be a way out to the railway, right over there." She pointed on the screen to a place near the top of the map."
"And where are we?" Max asked.
"We're all the way down here." Mel pointed to a place at the bottom of the map. "It's gonna be tricky."
"Well, it's the only thing we have." Spam pointed out.
"Good point."
"Okay, Higgy! Mel and Spam have found something."
Higgy approached them and they explained.
Meanwhile, Morlena had finished wrapping DL's bite and Red helped her to her feet, but the pain made her knees buckle and she had to lean on Red, to stop herself from falling back down.
"Right...let's go down this underground bit, which should be in there..." Higgy pointed to one of the rooms. "and we'll go as far as we can that way. Then back up for the rest."
Higgy approached Red and DL and helped support DL, into the room, which would lead them down under the facility. Little did they know this would be the end of the line for another for their team members.
