J amie was flat-out running for the door before you could say “omg we’re in a zombie apocalypse!”

The door was swinging closed as the rest of us gathered our senses and quickly followed him out. He was already at the end of the corridor and opening the inner door to take him into the terminal as we desperately attempted to catch up to him.

Karla’s keys jangled loudly as she ran, the sawn-off shotgun held in front of her with both hands. She was a larger woman but she was in better shape than me and wasn’t even the least bit out of breath, whereas I was panting like I’d run a marathon. Or maybe it was the adrenalin. The thought of those things downstairs hurting Sam, my only real ally in this country, was becoming more unbearable with every step. And I knew I needed to pull myself together because I was losing it, and quickly. There was also the worrying thought that I might freeze again, only that time someone would die because of my inability to act.

I felt the touch of something against my fingers, and when I looked down, a hand was wrapping itself around mine and gripping it tight. I followed the hand to the arm and then the arm to the person and found it was Leon. His face was hard and serious, yet his touch was gentle.

“You’ve got this,” he said with a nod, leaving no room for disagreement.

I nodded back, not believing that I had this, that, or anything else.

Didn’t the US have strategies in place for outbreaks and riots? I mean, that’s basically what it was…just with flesh-hungry humans trying to eat people.

Karla pulled open the door and we all followed her through it and back out into the terminal. There were obvious signs of zombies—blood on the floor and bits of flesh—but no zombies. In fact, I couldn’t hear any screaming or crying coming from Sam or the others so I took that as a good sign. Though it could just have easily have been a bad one, I chose to see the glass half full—mainly because I was bloody thirsty after all that running.

We headed down the stairs, still unable to see anything that led me to believe any of our friends had died, other than the smear of blood across the ground. Jamie was already turning in circles and trying to work out where we had seen them on the monitors. The terminal was huge, with plenty of shops and restaurants and such. There were dead bodies of people never getting up again, and yet as we
