Left 4 Dead: Gemini Strain.

Chapter XVI: Police Station Snafu – Robert

Robert limped behind the rest of the group, he questioned to himself how far they could keep this up, that maybe he should have stayed with everybody else and not answered his cell, causing him to fall behind the group when the outbreak started.
Robert leaned to the side and saw that Russ had stopped and was looking over another corner, Adam had his hand resting on Latvia's shoulder, who looked to be calming down.
Robert shook his head, if he had not stopped to answer his phone, then he wouldn't have met Roselina, "....I'm sorry" he said to himself, maybe she would have lived longer if not for him showing up.

Adam looked back at Robert, "Did you say something?" the way he spoke was like when an adult asked you something, when they already knew the answer

"....it's nothing" Robert brushed it off for now, he didn't want them to know about Roselina.

"How far are we to-" Russ suddenly moved forward, beyond the corner, swinging his make-shift melee weapon, "Shit!" his voice sounded odd, something was wrong.
Everybody quickly turned the corner, a young girl was lying against the building, her upper left arm was bleeding, she was shaking and about to cry.

"Dammit Russ!" Robert said, limping over to the girl, he kneel down, "Are you okay?" the girl slowly moved away, she shook her head, she had shoulder long black hair, her eyes were a very light blue, bloodshot as well, "We won't hurt you.." Robert shot a pissed off glare back to Russ, his point-and-click mindset wasn't going to keep working if he continued to do things like this, Robert returned to looking at the girl, "....what is your name?" his voice was softer, he had check her wound, she looked up at him.

"....Lucy" her voice was soft but cracking, she was holding back the tears.

"that's a lovely name....Lucy can my friend look at your arm" Robert pointed back towards Adam, he had moved closer, she nodded her head.
Robert stood up as Adam looked her arm over, "it'll bruise up but she will be fine" Adam smiled at the young girl, he reached for his backpack, he opened a side pocket and pulled out a piece of candy, "Here you go little Lucy" she happily took it and opened it, "Thank you mister" she popped it into her mouth, Adam smiled and stood up.

"We need to get moving...." Adam said turned towards Robert, who replied with a nod, "Agreed." Robert turned to look at Russ, who was now standing at the other end of the alleyway, looking the street over.
Robert looked down at the girl, "Lucy...we need you to come with us...." Lucy slowly stood up and moved over to Robert, grabbing his leg.

"....Are we going to run?" Robert looked confused, "If you don't want to walk...I will carry you"

Lucy shook her head, "Mommy said run....don't hide....they will find you no matter where you hide...." Lucy lowered her head, "She told me that before they ate her......"

Robert looked at Adam, his face lost a little color, the thought of her having to watch her mother being ate alive was quite sickening, "....we are going to the police station....we will be safe" Robert said to Lucy, kneeling down, "I'll carry you on my back" Adam was about to disagree but Robert waved him off, Lucy hopped onto his back, he slowly stood up, pain shooting up his leg.

"It won't matter....nowhere is safe".

Robert continued to try and reassure Lucy until she fell asleep, "What are we going to do?" he asked Adam, who had taken up the rear as Latvia and Russ were in the lead.
"I'm not sure....make it to the station....and work it from there" Adam's mind seemed to be else a little bit, Robert nodded, they continued down another alleyway, he turned his head and looked at the sleeping Lucy, her head resting on his shoulder, he told himself that he wasn't going to let her die.
They all moved into the open street, the police station was just a few buildings down from them.

"Yes!" Russell said aloud which was quickly met with a slap from Latvia.

"What are you doing?!"

Russell just smiled, "No zombies, clear shot to the station" Russell happily lead the way towards the station.
Adam was looking around them, there may have been no zombies in the street but they could be within the buildings or the alleys, "Something....seems off about this" Adam continued to look around, he spotted a city tower with a big bell at the top and then something flashed from atop the police station, "Move!" he yelled as a shot rang out.
Everybody looked towards the roof, a man was standing near the edge, holding a sniper rifle in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other.

"Latvia....please tell me that isn't who I think it is" Adam's voice sounded very worried and scared, his face soon matched it when Latvia nodded her head.

"Cassius..."

Cassius lifted the loudspeaker to his mouth, "Survivors....I've modified this simple police station to withstand an attack from a small army....but" He looked towards us, Everybody felt fear rushing down their spines, "As the last group of survivors arrive....it's time to test out my safe haven" he lifted and point his sniper towards the bell tower, "When that bell rings, any and every of those blessed zombies will come to it and-" he fired, hitting something near the bell, it swung and a loud ring rung out, "When they reach it, they will find the station and assault it, wanting nothing more to kill all of you....."

All of us where frozen with shock and disbelief.

"....Survivors..... You've all claimed to see hell on earth....I disagree with you.....I've rigged the bell to continuously ring.....stop it....stop the horde of zombies that are coming.....because until it's stops, they won't stop coming and coming.....good luck" with that Cassius walked away from the edge.
We all stood there as the bell continued to ring out.

".....What....what are we going to do?" Latvia asked, her voice was nothing but filled with fear.
Lucy moved her head from Robert's shoulder, "....die"
