Kathy saw the garage door on the third house across the street fly open. She and the Chief had already crossed behind three houses, circled around the side of the sixth house on the left side of the island, and crossed the street into the woods near the boat park. They knew the men who were shooting at them were trying to outflank them, so the last thing the men would expect was to be outflanked. Soon they would be on the right side of the island, and they could work their way along the backs of the houses back to the place where they had left the plane.

When the door went up, she got a good look at the two people who darted off to the right, and she also saw what had distracted the people who were shooting at them. The trees were blocking much of the action, but she saw the infected swarming in the direction of the third house where they had started their escape.

“Chief, it’s Hampton.”

The Chief looked across in time to see Hampton and a woman watching the mayhem from the corner of the next house down the line on the right side. They ran diagonally across the boat park, and even though they were out in the open for a short distance, the shooters were far too busy to see them. Hampton and Colleen saw them coming, and they couldn’t have been happier. The four of them rushed toward each other, and even though Kathy and the Chief didn’t know Colleen, they hugged her as much as they did Hampton. It was a reunion Hampton didn’t think would ever happen.

It seemed like the shooting wouldn’t stop, but eventually it tapered down, and then it was quiet. They couldn’t tell if it was because the infected had all been killed, or if the shooters had finally been unable to survive the attack. The total quiet was the first clue that the infected had won the battle. There were no sounds of shouting from victorious defenders, but there were some faint cries for help followed by screams. The wounded were going to die anyway, so there wasn’t going to be any help that made a difference.

The Chief was the first to remind them it was time to move.

“We can catch up on how we all got here later, but the first thing we need to do is get ourselves into a safe place,” he said.

“We can get back to the plane with no trouble if we stay on this side of the island,” said Hampton. He had already taken a few steps in that direction, and Colleen had followed.

Kathy said, “Hold up, Hampton. We might have something else in mind. Chief, refresh my memory for me. Are you sure you didn't check for the locations of the secondary entrances and escape hatches? We could use one right now.”

“I didn’t have time to ask Bus, but I don't think they would be particularly well located,” said the Chief.
