Once again sorry it took so long to post this. College work is easy but tedious and the professors give us a lot to do. I will be posting again soon and wrapping this up in a few chapters so I can move onto its sequel or prequel. More likely to be a sequel. Anyways I hope you enjoyed the story so far. Leave a review. Let me know what you think?

Day 248- continued

"It's a good thing I know another way in." Paul said as he drove off again. We left the back gate behind and started around to the other side of the wall. The crowd thinned out and Paul stopped at a building. The buildings back here are empty but there not apart of Ashville. At least i thought think they were empty. "Move quick before they notice us" hank ordered, infected were everywhere but they were keeping their distance from the buildings. You could see the infected in the tree line, ducking in an out of the trees. They looked extra creepy. All of us got out of the truck and went right for the front door of the building. We waited just inside the door in the hall as Hank and Paul secured it.

Paul then walked down the hall and into a room. When you first walked in the room you wouldn't think anything of it. When Paul removed the carpet from the floor he revealed a big hole in the floor. "Paul, good thinking but you know where this take us." Hank stated. "Yea but does it matter. The gate is closed, no one else is coming in. Infected will be left behind in the evac anyway." Paul argued in our behalf. "What's so bad about it?" I really couldn't help myself, 'The PFC' is secretive. "IIT2… you aren't supposed to see it. This will put us just inside of it. Hopefully it's been shut down." Hank explained. "Let's go." Paul said as he hopped into the hole.

I walked over and looked down into the hole. There was a crate placed just under it. I dropped down onto it than followed Paul further down the dark tunnel we were now in. It led into a series of turns. The next tunnel we turned down was pitch black but Hank had a flashlight. After a few more minutes we came to a ladder with a open top. Then it hit me, hard. It reeked.

Have you ever smelled death? You would know it if you did. It smother's you. Your nostrils start to burn and you get this feeling like you're going to throw up but you don't. Your chest starts to burn next almost as if your choking. As if the thought of a soul leaving its body wasn't bad enough. That oh so sinking feeling never left you. Death, itself affected who ever came into contact with it.

Hank went first. "Okay Let's go guys." He called back to us. I went first. When I got up there I walked around the corner with the rest of the guys the first thing I saw was a hall full of doors. Red lights flashed on and off. I walked up to one of the doors to see a room full of bodies. "There is no cure." Hank stated, I turned around. "What kind of room is this?" Jacob asked as he stood next to me. "Gas chamber; they should have called this place a death camp. All thoes bodies were jus piled up in there like that you can tell can't you. There was too many infected, we needed this Kill Floor. We had to get rid of them as they came in by the dozens. Didn't even know we had it till last month." He told us. My hand flew up to my mouth. Jen is probably in one of these rooms. All of the room were full and the hall, I almost couldn't stand it. "I have to get out of here." I blurted out. I saw a door way leading outside. I ran for it. Bursting into the alley I heard this loud roar overhead. It's a berg coming right for Ashville.

The door across from us were locked but something was trying to get out. "C'mon." Hank yelled as he took off to the entrance of the alley. Once in the middle of the street we could see the berg clearer. "They evacuated." Paul said as walked up next to me. "to the transport building." Hank ordered so we all followed. The streets were empty, you could barely hear the crowd outside the door over the berg as it slowly came closer. "Are you sure they have everyone." I questioned worried about Jess and the kids. "They have a check list…They got her, I'm sure of it." Paul reassured me as we ran into the building. We rushed to get inside just as we heard berg crash into the building full of infected.

Hank took us right took the room. Sitting in the middle of the room was a flat trans. Once again I had only seen one of these on tv. How we had one, I had no idea. I was glad to see it.

Boom there was another loud explosion outside the building somewhere so I ran into the Flat trans. It felt like running through a water fall. I felt cold for a brief second before I stepped foot onto a metal grating. Loud machines roared over most everything. I gawked up to see a vaulted ceiling with all metal walls. Three Bergs just parked there, next to each other as if they were cars. People from Ashville were everywhere. I was in the biggest hanger I've ever seen. "Welcome, please move further into the hanger. Medical attention, food and water is set up at the other end." A man yelled standing on the back of the truck bed. I was beginning to catch the theme here at these places.

Hank and Paul walked into the crowd and disappeared, there was no way I was going to find Jess if I joined em. So I hung back a bit and waited for most of the crowd to do what they were saying. I turned back to the flat trans to see Sam and little girl I didn't recognize walk through. How did I miss her? I ran over to them. "Sam." I said as I hugged her. "Who's this?" Jacob asked as he walked up next to us. I took the note that was pinned to her chest. I read it. "I'm Deedee. I'm immune." Whoever sent her here was thinking the same thing I was. That the children are immune to the Flare. The flat trans shut off and revealed a solid wall behind it. "I'm cold." The little girl said so I took off my jacket and put it over her shoulders. "Where's Jess?" I asked Sam as we walked in the direction of the crowd. "She's in the base somewhere. They got her out first I know that." Sam told me as we walked into the back of the crowd.

AS we walked I could feel the chilly breeze. We must be further north. I walked Deedee right to the medical tables. There was a woman sitting behind the table. "She came through the flat trans last." I said. "She's your responsibility now…look after her." The lady said as she started to look the girl over. The lady picked up her arm, "What's this?" she asked and the girl pulled back her arm. "Let's put a band aid over it." She said as she took a small band aid out of her pocket that was bright pink. Deedee smiled. She examined the little girls arm again before putting the band aid over it. The woman looked up at me. "Just go right through those doors over there. The medical building is he one to the right. If anyone in your group needs medical attention they would have been taken there." she said and directed towards the door that everyone else was walking towards.

Its dark out there. I picked up Deedee and carried her outside. It's cold but they lined up burning barrels all the way to each building. I glanced up to see four very large buildings surrounding us and two about half the height a little further away. There was a series of smaller building with fences around it. All of the buildings were made out of metal.

I walked with Sam and Deedee in my arms to what was the medical building. With all this metal around I felt like I was in a spaceship. Once inside people rushed back and forth. Some in scrubs or lab coats others in full tactical gear. I continued to follow the group of people down the hall. It being narrow didn't help. I'm jus glad the situation was calm here.

When it finally opened up there was this waiting room type area and it was huge. I glanced around the room a little to see If I could see them. There were a few kids but not that many. I would have noticed them. The rest of it looked like the emergency room floor of a hospital. I walked up to a window. Set Deedee down and she ran off. Sam took a step in the direction she ran in. "Let her go, she can't get to far in here. We can find her later. I need to find jess. You need to find your little brothers in sister." I told her and she straightened up to follow me and Jacob. I saw a nurses window at the other end of the large room.

I walked right to the window. The nurses on the other side looked up at me. "My wife Jess, she's pregnant. She's not out here." I told the nurse. "Yes we did have a couple of them come in today. You see all of the outlying bases have all been coming here…yea your wife is upstairs." She said typing something to the computer then pushed a button. There was this quick buzzing sound and then the wall moved. IT slid to the right.

The nurse was standing there waiting for me on the other side. "She's this way. Third floor." The nurse said. The first thing you see walking in is the triage rooms. I followed the nurse as she led us down a hallway. At the end of the hall was an elevator. This place was all tech'd out. Not like Ashville. There's electricity. We got to the right floor and stopped.

The nurse walked out and directed us to continue to follow her. We walked by surgical rooms, and patient rooms. In the middle of the hall was a desk. It reminded me of a hospital of a real hospital, like one before the flares. "We don't have a actual maternity ward here, all the pregnant women was moved to this floor." She explained it was the best thing I heard since I've gotten here.

"The kids were taken two floors up. The families are being allowed to stay there. Some of us have given up our bedding for the families." The nurse described. "Thanks." I said as she led us to a door. She pushed a few buttons on the panel and a door opened. I walked into to see Jess laying on the bed. As soon as I walked in she sat up in pain. I rushed over to her. "BABE…" I said, not knowing what to do."what do i do?" I asked. After a few moments she opened her eyes then starred up at me and faintly smiled as the pain seemed to subside. "Jus stay right there. We got this." the nurse said as she buzzed for another nurse to come to the room. Jess relaxed back into the bed. I brushed her hair back from her forehead and kissed it. The machine next to her started to go off. The nurse walked over to it and turned it off. Then she checked a few things then moved to the end of Jess's bed to her feet.

"We were hoping it might have been Braxton-hick's contractions but…hmm" she said as she lifted up the blanket. Jess grabbed onto my hand and held it tightly. The nurse came back to us. "hey…its too soon" Jess gasped between deep breaths. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere else." I told her. "You have to check on the kids." She told me. "I'm more worried about you." I told her. "Sam and Jacob can go find them." I said. On that note Sam left as if she received a signal from me. "I'm going to get a doc, I'll be right back." the nurse said. I would go find the rest of the kids but Jess is my main concern right now. " where are we?" I asked the nurse before she left. "Alaska."

Jess grabbed my shirt the same time the sound of water hitting floor so I looked down to the end of the bed. Her water jus broke.
