'Argh!' the man yelled.
'AAAA! What is that thing?' Alyssa pointed.
'I don't know! We better get out of here!'
'No! We have to help him!'
Joshua shivered.
An infected person was desperately trying to bite a male nurse's neck.
The man already had a few wounds, including a very deep cut on his arm that was bleeding severely.
Joshua looked around. He saw a brand new can of Coke standing on a table. He picked it up and threw it at the infected's head.
The metal can proved too heavy for the infected's forehead. With a roar, he fell back and landed on the ground, then stayed there.
Alyssa went to the nurse.
'Hey, are you alright?'
'Uh…'
The little girl put the leather bag next to her and opened it.
'Hey… Hey! What are you doing? We have to go!'
'Uh-huh! Naomi taught me how to perform first aid! He needs help!'
'But…'
Alyssa smiled. She'd always wanted to say those words.
'Joshua… will you assist me with this operation?'
The boy thought for a few seconds.
'Uhm… Alright… But be quick, okay?'
'I'll try! Come!'
Alyssa took out a tourniquet and tied it tightly against the nurse's hand. Then, she wiped off the blood and cleaned the wound with some antibiotic gel.
'Wow… You really know what you're doing, don't you…'
'Yeah! Naomi's the best surgeon ever!' Alyssa smiled and bandaged the wound, then turned to the leg.
'Hmm… There are so many wounds here! I'll need time!'
'Alright! What can I get you?'
'Uuuuhm… The bandages!'
Joshua handed them to her.
And then, he saw something terrifying.
The infected got up.
'Alyssa!'
The little girl screamed.
'Let's run!'
'No! I can't leave him like this!'
'But… but that guy's gonna kill us!'
'I know, but… But…'
'Hurry up!'
Alyssa panicked. She tried to work as fast as she could, but that wasn't enough.
'HURRY!'
'AAAARGH!'
Suddenly, the infected stopped running towards them. In fact, he started moving very slowly.
Joshua barely moved at all.
But Alyssa had kept her speed.
'Wha… What's going on?' she asked, but couldn't hear any response, as if Joshua hadn't heard her at all.
Determined, Alyssa bandaged the nurse's wounds as fast as she could.
Just as she finished up, time returned to normal.
And the infected was almost near them.
'Alyssa!'
'Joshua!'
Suddenly, a dart hit the infected on the head. Still weak from his close encounter with the can of cola, he fell down without much trouble.
'Alyssa! How did you move so fast?' Joshua asked.
'I… I…'
'Oh my God… Alyssa!' Naomi looked at her, with worry in her eyes.
Hank, Gabe and CR-S01 were looking at her with their mouths open.
Little Guy gasped.
'Was this… Was this just now…'
'Hey, can anyone explain to me why this little girl has the Healing Touch?' they heard a voice behind them.
'You!' Gabe almost dropped his cigarette when he saw their new guest.
