THIRTY-SEVEN

“What was that?” Shay turned to Jack as he and Blake slipped through the doors. “We heard shooting.”

“Mexican grey wolf. Five of them.”

“In here? Who were you shooting at, the animals?” Shay went to her tiptoes and looked through the surgery room windows.

“Someone else is taking up shelter here as well.” Blake said moving towards his pack, he grabbed up more ammo.

“I forgot to tell you, stay away from room six.” Jack pulled Shay away from the doors.

“What about the Doc?”

“The doc is dead.” Jack said.

“How? What’s in room six?” asked Sherry?

“Bermuda’s in room six.” Jack paused for an instant. “Doc was shot.” He left out the part about Bermuda.

“Sweet Jesus,” Shay whispered. “What kind of hospital is this anyway?” Jack shifted uncomfortably glancing out the eyehole of a window with his rifle tilted outward.

“A dangerous one.” Jack said. “Pam has an apartment across the hall. I think we should move Matt there.”

“Why are the animals making so much noise?” Shay asked.

“Their hungry.” Jack answered. He was about to say more when a high-pitched scream echoed down the corridor. “What’s up with all the questions?”

“Who’s Bermuda?” Sherry asked taking over where Shay left off.

Blake said. “Didn’t Doc have a technician living here with her?”

“She does.” Jack hesitated, knowing Bermuda wasn’t the only cat on the premises. “A rescued Siberian Tiger.”

Sherry had a mound of supplies stacked on top of Matt’s legs ready to transport. “Okay.” She said. “We can move him.”

“By the way. That was incredible.” Shay said to Sherry unable to control the smile on her lips.

“Thanks.” Sherry said. “I’m pretty sure I just stepped outside of my legal boundaries though.”

“No worries there.” Shay replied.

“He’s stable, for now anyway.” Sherry’s good news lasted only a split second when the pack of wolves let out an extended cry. The sound found its way through the brick siding and thick pained glass windows into the surgery room.

“You were kidding about the tiger, right?” Blake asked.

“Where’s your big boy skirt now?” Jack teased, trying to lighten the mood. “We only have to go twenty feet.”

Blake shook his head, “I’m not wrestling a Siberian Tiger.”

“Better than a hospital full of infected people,” Jack said. “I‘d rather take my chances with the animals.”

Jack cracked the door open. A hushed silence fell across the hall. He pointed at the doors, motioning the women forward. It was twenty degrees cooler outside the surgery room and the cold stole the warm air as it drifted through the opening. The women guided Matt through the door, slipping quickly through the next. The sound of the gurney wheels blending in the wind.

However, not even the storm outside hid the high-pitched cry of the tiger coming from within the building. They all stopped.

“Keep going.” He whispered leading the others to the studio. Sherry and Shay slipped into the apartment securing Matt. Jack slipped past Shay into the hall. Blake followed merging into the darkness of shadows and light. Jack looked at Shay, putting his finger to his ear and then pointed down the hallway.
