My hand covers my mouth as I watch helplessly from afar. We couldn't help her if we tried, she's already been bitten. Mercy is all we can offer at this point.
My heart suddenly stops as it dawns on me that we can't even offer that! We have no weapons!
I grab 10k's sleeve as the man from the weapon check-in runs out to try and move the new z's to the other side of the fence. The man grabs the guard from up under her arm pits, but I can see even from here that she's no longer human.
It's no surprise when both Z's jump the guy, turning him into zombie chow. His shouts of pain and fear making my blood run cold. I really hope the rest of this girl's trio aren't creating their own Z terrorist attacks.
"Come on!" 10k whisper shouts as he grabs my hand, pulling me behind him as we jog to the weapon check-in.
I clutch his hand tightly as we reach the door that separates us from safety. I move to grab the door handle when one of the trio Z's launches himself at the door. I let out a startled shriek as 10k shoves me behind him.
God I hate when the villain's are smart! One at the gate to keep it open, one inside the weapon check-in, the last one is probably wherever the largest group of people is at. We are so screwed!
"Go! Go!" 10k ushers me to run, pushing me in front of him.
"I am!" I gasp, pushing myself to go faster when the three Z's from the gate spot us.
Three freshly turned Z's means three incredibly fast Z's. If I ever see Williams again I am gonna kick his ass for taking away our chance of making it out of this alive.
The sound of screaming makes me look back to see the Z's found some very unprepared people to munch on instead of us.
"Don't look back! Don't ever look back!" 10k orders as he pushes on my lower back with his hand, both of us still running full speed.
I do as I'm told, turning back around just in time to see a very startled face as I basically tackle them to the ground. 10k manages to tuck and roll over us, while I lay on top of the poor guy I just turned into roadkill.
"I'm so sorry! Z's are inside the compound, we gotta run!" I exclaim to the guy as I clamber off of him, trying to find an escape route.
"Finn?"
Upon hearing my name spoken in a very familiar voice I look down to see the face of a guy I recognize, Milo. My big brother is staring up at me with the same blue eyes I thought I'd never see again, granted he looks exhausted, but that's no surprise.
Before I can say anything he's pulled me into a tight hug, my face buried in his shoulder. His smell fills my nose, my eyes closing as I hug him back, just as tight. My Milo is alive and here.
A quick tap on my shoulder reminds me of the situation, making me pull away from the hug. Once released, 10k swiftly pulls me to my feet by my armpits. I offer my hand to Milo, who accepts it, allowing me to pull him up as well.
"There are Z's in the compound, we need to find our group." I tell Milo, who nods with a serious face, absorbing the new information.
"Our best chance is to travel by roof." 10k adds from behind me and I have to admit I'm glad he's the one I got separated with.
"There is a fire ladder on that building over there! Let's go!" Milo declares pointing to a building about 15 ft from us before he starts running.
I run after him, 10k hot on my heels as the screaming within the compound keeps getting louder. The stench of death is also starting to fill the air and I'm getting a little nauseous. Next time we find a town I'm gonna look for Pepto-Bismol, or nose plugs.
