Chapter 11: Antibodies

Liam was a testosterone-fueled 15-year-old, but he retained enough common sense to know when to be scared. The steep stairwell in the narrow space of the upper Arch was bad enough to do in the dark. Knowing there was a dead man walking somewhere below them—well that just sent the fear right out the window. If there were windows...

He noticed Victoria was trying to stay as close to him as possible now, even though she was a step behind him all the time. His initial optimism as they started the descent had worn off, though he was still glad he wasn't doing this alone. He thought he might go insane if he had to try.

And if the light went out?

He looked down at the light, as if to will it to stay on. It remained bright and steady. The walk down went much faster than up, but it was still very taxing on their legs. It was just a different kind of pain. And they had no food or water since they first started the day's adventure. Liam was parched.

The staircase wound itself in the Arch leg around the machinery of the mechanical tram sharing the space. Rather than one continuous set of stairs, it was broken up with dozens and dozens of landings so it could bend with the curvature of the structure. They expected to find the zombie on each landing as they went down. And each vacant landing heightened their anxiety. Was he on the next one? Was he still in the stairwell at all? Was he attacking Grandma at this very moment?

He vaguely wondered whether the mindless infected were worse than the men and women preying their vulnerable peers. It was a toss up in his mind.

About twenty minutes later they found themselves in the machine shop at the base of the stairs where they'd started. Liam's stress level was off the charts because the ranger HAD to be somewhere close. They couldn't have missed him on the stairs. The same door was open that lead up the hallway into the main waiting area. The zombie had to have gone through there. It couldn't have been hiding anywhere else.

“How did that thing get past us? Do you think he was hiding?” Liam didn't figure that was a behavior of a normal zombie, but then what was the normal behavior of a dead person? Seeing a real life zombie made him realize "normal" and "zombie" could never be used together.

“No, he couldn't—”

The screams gave away the game.

Lots of screams now from up the hallway.

Liam and Victoria were running to catch up to the park ranger, but when they entered the main waiting area it wasn't him causing all the commotion, it was the criminals. They had already breached the north entrance,
