Intervention

They walked through the corridors, Mel directing and taking out zombies where and when it was needed. Otherwise, they walked in silence, their heads down, thinking about and respecting their lost friends.

Suddenly DL tripped and fell over. As the group turned around, BJ quickly bent down to help her fallen friend, but she touched an electric force field which sent her reeling backwards into the wall. She landed with a thud and Mel helped her up. DL was looking around her franticly. She reached out and touched the force-field, the energy crackling at her fingertips.

BJ got up and went over to the force field. "What the fuck's going on?" she said looking up and down, trying to locate a way to deactivate the invisible force.

"Sorry, but it's necessary." Came an all-too-familiar voice on the intercom.

Spam and Mel looked around. They knew that voice. It was the Red Queen. "What? Why is it 'necessary'?" Spam asked.

"She's infected. She cannot be allowed to leave the facility alive."

The fear flared up in DL's eyes. "What?"

"She's had the anti-virus." Mel spoke to the Red Queen.

"Yes, but there is no sure chance that it will work."

"You're going to let her out now bitch, or..." BJ shouted at the speaker on the wall.

"You'll what? I'm sorry, but it's far too dangerous."

"What...what will happen...to me then? If they go…"

"What?" BJ looked at DL, shocked.

DL waved her hand to silence her. "What will happen?" There was silence. "Tell me!"

"I do not know. You will either be kept here in this containment field, or you will be released with the creatures."

"So either way a slow and painful death. That sounds like fun."

"Or one of your team mates can dispose of you, if they are brave enough."

"NO WAY!" BJ screamed.

"BJ." DL was on the verge of a total breakdown now. "It's the only way. Sorry, but the other two options really don't appeal."

"No, DL. You're going to get out! You're coming with us."

"BJ. Don't do this. Please." DL began to cry.

Suddenly there was a frazzle and cackle of energy and a roar. DL turned to see the Licker, bashing against the force field. She turned to the others, her eyes more panicky than ever.

"The force field is strong but it won't last longer than a few minutes." The Red Queen's voice came through the intercom.

"Please." DL begged her friends. "I don't want to die at the hands of her."

"You had better make your decision." The Red Queen spoke.

BJ stared at her friend and with a heavy heart raised her gun, but she wavered. "I can't do it, DL. I just can't."

Suddenly, the banging stopped abruptly and DL turned round to be not only faced with a Licker but there was also a zombie. And that zombie was Higgy. Her coat was torn and she bared a rotten set of teeth at DL.

"Higgy? No..."

The others looked shocked. "Oh my God." DL took one last look at Higgy before completely breaking down.

"Please!" BJ screamed at the intercom. "Can't you see what's happening?! She would have transformed already! Anyway...her symptoms have already faded! Please just let us get her out of there!" There was silence.

"Move!" Mel and Spam said together and BJ turned to see two gadgets coming her way. She ducked and moved out of the way. The gadgets hit the force field and they seemed to bind with the electricity and this side of the force field seemed to die away.

"Hurry!" Spam yelled, running forward. "Without one side of the force field the other will soon give out!" BJ ran forward and pulled DL to her feet. DL didn't make any effort.

"Come on DL!" BJ screamed at her. BJ began to half drag her along the corridor with the help of Mel and Spam.

Suddenly the other side started to die and the Licker bounded forward. BJ handed DL over to Spam and Mel. "Whatever happens, get her out of here." She said close to tears.

"What about you?"

"I'm gonna hold off these buggers! Get going!" BJ turned and pulling out her pistol and shotgun began to fight.

DL began to wake up to everything around her and saw BJ fighting the Licker and Higgy. "No! BJ!" she screamed and went to run towards her.

"No!" Mel shouted and they began to drag her kicking and screaming along the corridor.

BJ fired four shots from her shotgun at the Licker and they hit its body. She only had one shell left, she had to make it last. She ran forward and at the last second, fired. The bullet came out and pierced Morlena's Licker brain and she fell down dead. BJ breathed a sigh of relief and flicked her long hair out of her face.

She turned to follow the others and was faced with Higgy's dead form. Higgy gave a creepy small smile before she attacked. BJ didn't even have time to reach for her pistol, before Higgy tore into her neck. She screamed as Higgy's teeth bit down hard into her soft flesh. A single tear sliding down her face, she brought up her gun and shot Higgy down. She rolled the now permanently dead Higgy off herself. She grabbed her neck and jogged after the others. She knew that if she could catch up with them they could give her the anti-virus. But the wound was too bad, and even as she ran she could feel herself change, becoming one of the undead. She sighed, and murmured her apologies to her friends and families, then raised her gun to her temple, and fired.
