*** 1 ***

Roland watched the zombies shambling up the driveway, he came up with some options.

Ashley could see the frantic look in his eyes, but there was also something in them that suggested that he was thoroughly enjoying himself. She pulled Roland's M1 out and aimed it at the oncoming horde. She was about to fire when Roland shook his head. “Don't fire till you see the decay in their eyes.” He started to laugh as he turned towards the staircase. “I always wanted to say that. Don't fire yet, draw back to the stairs.”

“Why?” Roland sat on the stairs and pulled out his weapons he had collected. He made sure the double barrel was loaded, his pistol as well. Ashley had the one shot and the snub-nosed detective's special he looted from the dead cashier. His rifle was in good hands, but glancing over, he saw that Jessica was still by the door watching the undead advance.

“Jessica dear, please come over to us. You shouldn't be so close.” Jessica looked back at Roland and Ashley and nodded weakly. Roland was glad that Jessica was getting a grip on reality finally. The things Roland needed of her were going to require her cool being kept in check. He raised his pistol and aimed at the advancing zombies.

“Jessica, where would the gate control be kept?”

“In the security room, Daddy usually goes there a couple times a day to monitor the undead. I guess he doesn't do that anymore, though.” Roland could see the girl start to fall back into the abyss she had just climbed out of so he kept her on task.

“Can you and Ashley go and shut the gates? That way no more zombies can get in.” Ashley and Jessica both looked at Roland in surprise. Jessica and Ashley were about to complain when Roland cut both short.

“Now is not the time to question me on any matter. Just do as I say and we might get through this.” When the first zombie pushed his way through the hole where the door used to be, Roland pulled the trigger and shot it in the head. The second staggered over the first, its eye splattered as the next bullet penetrated the eyeball. Ashley waited for a second, mentally judging what to do, but followed Jessica to the security room. Roland was pleased when she did because he didn't want the girl to see him get slaughtered. He quickly pulled the trigger twice in rapid succession ending two more zombies’ undead life.

“Maybe they’ll start to pile and barricade themselves. That would make my day.” When he said that the bodies spilled into the foyer and two more zombies rushed into the mansion.

“Of course not.” These were fresher undead and Roland had to wait till they were both three feet away before firing the last shots into their brains. Roland pulled out the speed loader on the pistol and quickly changed rounds. Just in time too, because five more zombies grouped themselves into the door frame.
