CHAPTER 11

WE ATTACKED FROM ALL SIDES. DOC slammed his fist down repeatedly, a single blade protruding from it. Beverly hacked away with her sword. Mei sent saw blades into their heads. Christina swayed in place, searching for an opening, until Beverly elbowed her backwards to a safer distance. I had my rifle at the ready, but when they piled on Harrison the way they were prone to, I never had a clear shot. So I stepped back and sunk my boot into their heads, one after the other. But in the end, it was none of us who freed Harrison.

In an incredible display of power, the mound of Infected over him suddenly exploded outward, their bodies flailing as if a roadside bomb had been detonated beneath them. But it wasn’t some rudimentary piece of metal and twisted wires that did this, it was Harrison.

He emerged roaring, his guttural voice rumbling off the concrete and metal that surrounded us, his arms bowing and flying outward as he cast them from his body. His clothing was torn, shredded to the surface of his skin where large portions of flesh had been eaten away. He was dripping in blood, but didn’t seem to notice in his fit of wild hysteria.

I was momentarily stricken by what I saw, becoming immobile for a fleeting second, just long enough for me to see Harrison’s wild eyes land on me and come back to reality.

I didn’t catch it then, it didn’t come to the top of my consciousness, but I know without a doubt in my mind that he did do it. Harrison checked the weapons in each of our team’s hands and only once it was confirmed we held them did he relax. There was no time to consider why because that was when the rest of us really went to work.

Our team took down the Infected easily, each of us working on one target until he or she no longer moved. We were focused, exact, and determined, so much so that none of us realized that one got out from under us.

A woman in a pants suit with one earring still dangling from one ear, rolled toward Rajan and Ian huddled near the wall. She snapped to her feet in a crouch and would have returned to us if she hadn’t seen Ian jerk away from her. That slight movement caught her eye and drew her in. She made it to them in the length of time it took Ian to scream.

In his panic, he did what came naturally to him. He shoved Rajan in front of him. The woman landed on Rajan eagerly tearing away, not caring who it was that would fill her stomach, as Ian slipped to safety, slithering along the wall toward the exit.

I almost shouted as the woman sank her teeth into Rajan, who had been our only hope for developing a cure, but instinct took over and I swung my rifle, aimed and fired.

Her head sprayed, her body shuddered, and she collapsed into the curve of Rajan’s neck, her teeth remaining embedded in him.
