1st July, East Croydon, London, 1pm

On the count of three Declan and Morgan jumped to the platform, as they fell the distance Morgan preyed that bones wouldn’t be broken, as they would have to be on their feet immediately to deal with the zombies on the stations platforms. With six platforms in all at the station the soldiers had agreed that they deal purely with the zombies on their own platform, which was numbered five and six. As they landed the pain shot up Morgan’s legs, and despite the military grade boots he wore the shock of the tarmac surface still penetrated his bones, he was on his feet in seconds and relieved that the bones hadn’t shattered. Declan was not so lucky he had got down with a sickening thud, and had at least twisted an ankle, nevertheless he still positioned himself on the ground with his rifle at the ready and started to fire into the heads of zombies as they approached him.

The noise from the rifle instantly attracted the attention of every zombie in the area as they began to shuffle towards the two soldiers. Morgan had quickly dealt with the four zombies the other side of him, and now turned to help Declan finish off the remaining five his side, they were not too concerned at the zombies that had walked off the edge of the next platform, as there was now a five foot climb to their platform, and the zombies were not able to drag themselves up. As the last of the monsters were dealt with Morgan rushed to Declan’s side and helped stand him up.

“How bad is it Dec? Can you move?” he asked Declan.

“I’ll make it, I won’t break any speed records, but I’ll be alright”

Declan turned the rifle upside down and used the stock of the gun as an improvised crutch, although he could move, every step he took he caused him to wince in pain. Morgan went to wrap his arm around his injured partner, but Declan shrugged him off and told him

“You’ll need both hands, Mate”

Morgan decided not to argue, Declan was right. All he could use now when stationary was his side arm or knife, for the longer range shots Morgan would need his rifle ready. The pair moved to the end of the platform and walked down to the tracks, Morgan had to dispose of three zombies that were too near for comfort, and then they began their trek along the rail system.

The train tracks were void of any life at all there was even a total lack of zombies. With Declan injured they made astonishing progress within twenty minutes they had passed through Norwood Junction, and they were both secretly delighted that this large station had been empty, and they didn’t want to keep firing their weapons, which always drew the unwanted attentions of the dead. A little further on they stopped at a crossroad junction to catch their breath, to the right lay a training centre for railway track staff.
