Machiavellian

You turn away from Deleon’s anguished cursing and follow Cooper down the hall. You can hear the doctor grunting and crawling as the undead growl and shuffle after him. Eventually, you don’t hear anything anymore, once you’re far enough away.

You enter the nurse’s office and Cooper starts rummaging through the supplies the group had previously stashed here. “You grab food, I’ll grab emergency supplies,” she says.

In less than a minute, you’re out of the office and on the move once more. Your arms are so full of foodstuffs, you’re constantly dropping canned supplies. Cooper does the same with her full load. Without incident, you make it to the roof access stairwell and up to the roof. One of the parcels Cooper drops prevents the roof door from fully closing, but neither of you notice.

“Goddamn, Sims,” Cooper says, looking at the siren and search lights.

“Maybe his plan worked?” you respond. “Rescue could be on the way.”

“That’s what I’m hoping. He said he contacted somebody, so now all we have to do is sit here and wait.”

“All he ever wanted to do in the first place,” you muse.

“Don’t get sentimental on me now, Newbie.”

Then the roof doorway opens. You turn back to see Deleon limply moving toward you. His color is washed out by the repeated blue and red light splashes, and it’s difficult to see how pale and dead he looks.

“You?” Cooper says in disbelief, walking toward him. “Your cure worked?”

The spotlight swings by and lights up Zombie Deleon. She sees he’s undead and takes out her crowbar. They meet in the middle; she raises her crowbar and swings it at his head. He catches her forearm and they both look at it. A look of panic crosses her face. The closest thing to a smile is on his face.

He pulls her to himself and bites down hard on the base of her neck. She screams. You rush to help, but it’s too late. The rest of the horde pours out of the stairwell and onto the roof. Trying to find a last, desperate escape, you run to the edge.

You can’t even see the ground, so thick is the pavement with undead. They come at you now, ready to feed on your flesh, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Your axe is no match for the two dozen—and more on their way. This is it, you will be devoured beneath the stars. Your blood will appear alternately clear and black beneath the red and blue strobe.

• No it won’t! JUMP—head first.

• Try to take one or two out before they eat you.
