Chapter 3- The Food Porn
Dredd and Anderson crept through the hallways with their guns cautiously pointed ahead of them. The hallways were empty and remained silent until they walked next to Newman's storage closet. They heard him muttering, whispering, and laughing to himself until he walked out of the room. Newman looked startled when he unexpectedly saw the two judges with their guns pointed at him.
"I recognize that voice," said Dredd "You're the one who lowered the gates."
"I-I-I-it's not what it seems, Dredd!"
Dredd grabbed Newman by the collar and lifted him into the air with no effort.
"Where's Seinfeld and where are the captive Judges?"
"I don't know! Jerry doesn't tell me anything! I swear on my life."
Dredd put Newman back on the ground "Anderson, see what you can get out of him."
Anderson placed her palm on his forehead and closed her eyes. She began getting flashes of food, porn, food porn, Jerry's apartment and the judges trapped in the closet, and more porn. She let go of his forehead and opened her eyes.
"He was lying to you. He helped put those judges in Seinfeld's apartment."
Dredd held his gun against Newman's forehead "Lying to a judge, kidnapping of a judge, your sentence..." Dredd pulled the trigger and blew the top half of Newman's head right off "Death."
The hallway was no longer silent- the two judges heard what sounded like an angry crowd in the distance. Dredd and Anderson embraced themselves and gripped onto their weapons. Dozens of civilians came from around the corner and paced towards the judges. The people were holding various weapons- torches, pitchforks, knifes, swords, a few guns.
"Kill them!" a voice called out.
"Attempted murder of two judges- sentence: death!"
Dredd and Anderson began firing towards the crowd. More and more people began falling down by the second as the crowd drew closer to the judges.
"I'm out of ammo!" yelled Anderson as she put her gun back into the holster and picked up a sword belonging to a dead nearby civilian.
Dredd and Anderson found themselves backed into a corner and Anderson had no choice but to get up close to successfully user her sword to hack through people.
"Anderson, stand back!" yelled Dredd as he switched the setting on his gun "Why didn't I think of this earlier?"
Anderson stepped back behind Dredd as he fired an explosive bullet at the crowd. The two-dozen people left in the horde exploded into a quick burst of flames. All that was left behind was a pool of blood and countless limbs all over the hallway- a few of which were on fire. Dredd had a bit of black dust and soot on his armour, but he wiped off most of it with his hand.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, are you?"
"Fine, thanks."
The two continued walking through the hallway momentarily until a nearby elevator began dinging. The two stopped in front of it and waited for it to open, with their guns pointed at it. The elevator stopped and the doors slowly opened to reveal something they didn't expect.
"What the hell?" muttered Anderson.
