I'll Save You

Chapter 7: Sewers

Jon continued to scream at Scott for handcuffing him to the roof, but everyone basically ignored him.

Sean quickly took out the sniper rifle and stared down. "Oh shit." He said, clearly distressed.

I walked over beside him to look down. A huge group of corpses were standing in front of the department store.

They were gnawing at the glass, probably breaking it, one was even holding a rock.

So that's what Andrea was talking about when she accused Scott of "killing us."

We need to get out of here, fast.

"Alright Scott, how do you say we get out of here?" Chloe asked standing in front of him.

He eyed her a moment but quickly broke eye contact, his view searching was something on the glass buildings across from us.

He snapped out of his trance and he looked down below. This is the plan." He said calmly without taking his eyes off the corpses below. "We need to fine sewers, is there any pot holes on the streets?"

Sean looked over one side, while Chloe checked the other. "No, there's one manhole that's right beside the tank." Sean said, crossing his arms.

Scott sighed and rubbed his forehead, Jackie took a step forward. "There should be another level below the bottom floor. There should be a hole that leads down to the sewer." She said.

T-Dog eyes Jackie and leaned against the wall. "How'd ya know that?"

Jackie let out a puff of air. "I was a building zoner, I know everything about buildings." She stood up and leaned back against the concrete beside Andrea.

Steven nodded, seeming as if ha was pondering something. "I know where that is, come on." Morales, Jackie, Scott and I followed Steven sown several sets of stairs.

We finally got to the bottom floor and the corpses were starting to break the glass, they were smashing and banging against it, trying to get in and eat.

We walked by them and went down another set of steps. Sure enough at the bottom, a giant hole gaped out of the floor.

"This is it." Jackie said, a small smile on her face. Scott stared at Steven knowingly, and Steven made a noise of annoyance.

"Fine, I'll go but you're not all coming down with me." He paused and surveyed the rest of us. "Scott, you and Andrea stand guard on the bottom floor with Chloe, just in case any geeks get out." He looked at me. "You need to stay here with Jackie, but first tell T-Dog he's watching Jon." He looked at Morales. "You come with me." He nodded and they prepared to go down into the deep tunnel.

Scott wandered into the next room and frowned at the glass. "Those walkers are going to break the glass, we don't have a lot of time."

Walkers, I like that. I think I'll use that. I nodded and sprinted upstairs to tell T-Dog and Andrea.

I grabbed Andrea and told T-Dog about his 'babysitting' duties. I grabbed Chloe as well and shouted over my shoulder. "Sean, get all our stuff together and get ready to go."

He sighed but followed after us as we ran down the stairs. I continued to drag Andrea and Chloe. I left her beside Scott and took a spot beside Jackie.

Steven had already went down and Morales was starting to descend. I looked him in the eye, giving him a nod. "Good luck."

He nodded at me and disappeared. Their foot steps echoed down the tunnel as they walked, eventually fading so you can't here them.

They were down there for a bit before I heard the sound of glass shattering and ran to the next floor. The walkers had smashed through a set of glass.

If Steven and Morales didn't come didn't come quickly, we'd all be walker fodder. As soon as I thought it, Steven appeared beside me.

"There no way out." He said quietly.

Scott rubbed his forehead and looked is all in the eyes. "I have an idea."
