Bringing it Back Home

“Slow down,” Len ordered Kim. “I want the survivors briefed and taken back to Doc and Sally to be checked for bites. George goes with them to be checked, also. Mark, too. Get a team, Roy, and watch that lobby. Bryan, you handle all the rest but the lobby; after you get everyone to the cafeteria, join Roy. Don’t start anything, but fight if necessary.”

“Len.”

“You do what I said, Mark, help Roy and Bryan.” Len knew they all felt as if they should help him. “Kim goes with me, and I want Johnny, Big Bill, and Chauncey.”

“You got it, Major,” Johnny said. Big Bill, who never said much, glanced at Chauncey with pride at having been chosen.

Len felt shitty that any one would feel pride for having been picked to risk his life. “We’re going to get Hagan and the ladies. And if you get into a fight, give Misty some practice since she’s determined to jump into battles.”

Kim was already moving towards the hallway. The rest followed, scanning the floor carefully, amazed at what they saw and didn’t see. There were several zeds with skulls crushed and blood splattered, showing that the five had come this way, unable to get clear shots but dispatching threats. Yet none of the five were in the hall.

Johnny turned around in a circle. “Where are they?”

There were no doors, and the short hall ended in a wall of jagged cement, metal, and bricks, with no way through. It was as if the five had simply vanished. “Here.” Kim stared into a dark maw next to the wall where the floor had fallen in.

It was apparent the floor had given way beneath the five as they retreated.

Len sent Chauncey for rope, hoping he could hurry, despite the other activities going on, the lobby full of zeds and the unruly survivors, trying to get to the cafeteria.

Kim was about to bolt through the hole and go on his own; Len knew because he felt the same way. To keep them both busy, Kim and he looked over the hallway again and found nothing but the zeds that had been taken down; there was nothing to indicate anyone had been injured. Len, Johnny, and Kim, smoked.

“We have to find them.”

“And we will. Damn, Kimball, you know Hagan is a bad ass, so is Julia. Beth is tough and smart as hell, and they have Billy and Warren with them. That’s not a bad team at all,” Len said.

“Why don’t they answer?”

“I dunno, Kim, but we’ll find out. We have no reason to think they aren’t okay. Give the girl some credit for being smart and tough.”

Chauncey came running back with the rope.

“That was fast.”

“They relayed the rope to me.” Chauncey grinned.

They kept guns and lights on Kim as he went down first. “Not bad…about twelve feet,” he called back.

It was a dark space about ten by ten with a body to the side.

Big Bill squatted next to Billy, who was dead. “Damn. Went through him like shit through a goose.
