They landed just outside the hotel, considering it was supposedly overrun with B.O.W.s, it looked pretty tidy.
"Any B.O.W.s?" Teekay asked. They looked around.
"No. It looks like we're in the clear." Parker replied.
"Come on. The sooner we get inside, the sooner we can end this." Keith said as he walked towards the hotel.
They walked inside and surveyed the area.
"Ok. According to the boss, this place has five floors, including the lobby you're standing in. This is the only room in the first floor. Now, the boss suggested we tackle this place in stages, securing it floor by floor. Teekay and I will take the second floor, Quint and Keith can deal with the third floor, Raymond and Jessica can deal with the fourth floor. When your floor's secure, make your way to the fifth floor." Parker instructed. Everyone nodded.
Jessica pressed the button for the elevator. Teekay, Parker, Quint and Keith headed for the stairs.
"Lazy cow." Teekay muttered.
Jessica glared at Teekay as she disappeared up the stairs. What was she even wearing anyway? Was that a Guns N' Roses T-shirt and a pair of shorts, with a bullet proof vest over the top? If she was trying to impress Parker, it wasn't going to work.
Jessica stepped into the elevator, with Raymond behind her. As soon as the door opened, Raymond exited without even a glance in Jessica's direction. She smiled and took the time to stick something small to the wall of the elevator.
"Are you coming or not?" Raymond called out coldly. He'd already turned the corner.
"I'll be there in a second." Jessica replied sweetly.
Teekay and Parker reached the second floor and Teekay warned Quint and Keith to be careful.
Quint and Keith reached floor three and looked around.
"Maybe we should split up. We can secure the floor faster that way." Keith suggested.
"No way Grinder! We should stay together in case we get ambushed."
"But..."
They both froze as they heard the sound of footsteps coming in all directions. It didn't take long to discover the culprit.
Hunters. At least fifty of them.
"Raymond, we should split up. We'll secure the floor quicker that way." Jessica suggested.
"Fine." Raymond turned another corner, leaving Jessica alone. He didn't tell her to be careful. He didn't even look at her.
He strode down the hallway, pleased to be rid of her.
Quint and Keith stood back to back. They were completely surrounded.
Keith faintly heard the ding of the elevator.
'Thank god. We might actually be saved.' He thought. He heard a gunshot, but dismissed it since both he and Quint were shooting at the Hunters, but then he felt an unbearable pain in his leg.
He swore and collapsed.
"Keith!" Quint yelled as he just managed to pull Keith out of the way of a Hunter's claw, "Are you ok buddy?"
Keith winced.
"It's my leg. I don't know how it happened though. I'll call for backup. You keep shooting." Keith instructed. Quint nodded and continued to fight off the ever growing number of Hunters while Keith called for backup.
"This is Grinder. We're on the third floor, near the elevator. Requesting immediate backup."
Teekay and Parker walked down a seemingly endless hallway.
"Nothing yet. Maybe it's not as bad as they said." Teekay announced.
Six zombies slowly shuffled around the corner to meet the pair.
"Damn. I Jinxed it. Sorry Parker man."
Parker rolled his eyes as a voice came over their radios.
"This is Grinder. We're on the third floor, near the elevator. Requesting immediate back up."
"Oh great. Perfect timing." Parker said annoyance clear in his voice.
