Ronin starts to shake his head, but a wailing siren cuts him off. Its echo bounces around the room, and I cover my ears. It does nothing to help the deafening noise, so I take them off. The emergency fire-situation sprinklers come on, dousing us instantly. I can tell it's not normal for the water to come out so fast and concentrated, but the water is coming out faster with each second that passes. Soon I'm sputtering and spitting out water. The ground turns into a miniature shallow lake. Water is up to my ankles.
"Ronin!" I grab his arm. He is wiping at his eyes, coughing out blood. "RONIN!" I shriek, louder.
I am suddenly aware of the tingle of the water as it soaks into your clothing. "Poison." I whisper. "It's poisoned."
"No kidding!" Ronin says as he coughs up more blood.
"Chill," I say confidently.
"CHILL?!" Ronin yells.

Season 4 of The Virus Within
Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again.
When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
