CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Fort College

Matt raced down the hallway, determined not to lose the element of surprise. Tanis was at his side. They ran up to a door marked “QUARANTINE.” Matt entered the password into the keypad.

A message came up on the display screen: DENIED.

Matt looked at it for a second, considered. Then he chopped at the door with his ax. The ax bit into the door but bounced off with a clang of metal. Wilson’s dog jumped up and sniffed the scar on the door as an alarm rang out.

They waited. Then they heard the sound of several footsteps running towards the closed door from the other side. Matt gestured for the others to move back while pointing to Carrie to take point.

Carrie moved to the middle of the hallway and began to glow. By the time the door swung open and five armed guards rushed out, Carrie was blazing like a lighthouse. The guards stopped for a second, blinded, as Matt and Tanis drove down on them from behind. Slamming her hammer down on the ballistic helmet of the man closest to her, she put all her weight behind it and felt his knees buckle. Matt swung the butt end of the ax up at his face and knocked him back against another guard, wiping them both out. He took another chop at them, this time with the blade edge of the ax. Blood spurted.

Wilson’s dog brought another man down, while Lowell grabbed a fourth with his burning hands. Matt swung his ax at the last man and caught him under his chin, carrying him, like a long line drive, to the wall.

Carrie dimmed her light. They stood breathing heavily in the suddenly quiet room. Tanis looked down at the fallen guards and saw, for the first time, their rotting features under their police helmets. She turned to Matt.

“I wasn’t sure,” she said.

“Wasn’t sure of what?” Matt asked.

“That they were rotting. I didn’t know. I wasn’t sure it was right to kill them.”

Matt hefted his ax onto his shoulder. “I was sure,” he said.
