Chapter Twenty-five

He swung the blade in a low arc, slicing through the dead girl’s neck. Marcus jumped back to avoid drowning in the geyser of blood erupting from her neck stump. His friend shouted out before thrusting the tip on his katana into the eye socket of the next approaching corpse.

Helen cried out, and they both turned to see another had shambled out of an apartment and grabbed the woman’s hair as she ran past. Marcus brought his katana down on the zombie’s arm, cutting through most of the flesh while Bonzo pulled the grasping fingers out of the woman’s hair.

“We can’t do them all, Marcus! There’s just too many.”

He nodded, thrust the tip of the blade up into the jaw of a corpse that got too close, turned around, and joined the others running for the door. Marcus thanked whichever deity was still around that the loathsome things hadn’t reached this door.

They burst through the fire doors and into the stairwell.

“Which way do we go?”

Craig was already running up. Bonzo leaned over the banister.

“Follow the kid,” he said, there’s a couple more below us.

The boy stopped and turned. “I think there’s a supply of guns in one of the apartments.”

Marcus blinked, “Are you sure?”

Craig shrugged, “It’s what Laurence told me.”

“Can we hurry it up, guys?” whispered Helen.

Marcus nodded. He didn’t really believe the kid, but what other choice did they have? He followed the others up the flight of stairs; the lad in front suddenly stopped and picked up an empty sweet wrapper.

“Fucking hell!” the kid shouted. “Oh bollocks, this is the locked side! I thought we were on the other set of stairs.”

Marcus reached the top and tried to push through the door only to discover that the lad was right. Somebody had wrapped a heavy duty bike chain around the handles; they didn’t stand a chance of breaking through that. He looked through the windows, gratified to see that the corridor ahead was empty of movement, but what was the point if they couldn’t get through?

“We have a major problem, Bonzo!”

The other man rushed up, “Don’t stress out, man. We can deal with it. Place your blade through the middle and twist.”

“Have you lost your mind? That chain is way too strong.”

Bonzo nodded, “Yeah I know, but the bolts on the door handles aren’t.”

Marcus heard the door at the bottom begin to open, he looked at the other two then peered down the gap; he saw a very familiar mop of blonde hair. Marcus stepped back, moved Helen to block Bonzo’s view, then jumped down the stairs.

“Does this mean that you want me to do it?” Bonzo shouted.

Marcus raised his Katana and beheaded the first corpse, then kicked the head down the stairs. “I’m so sorry, Christine.”

He thrust the blade into the other one’s mouth, then put his weight against the door, to try and stop anymore more coming through. Oh hell, dare he tell his friend this he’d just killed Bonzo’s wife?

“She was already dead,” he muttered.
