‘Fuck,’ Cookey whispers.

‘Car park, remember?’ Nick says at seeing the swirling lines so perfectly moving together as the square fills with undead. The four lads stare from the window down into the open ground and already the path to the Saxon is cut off. The speed of the infected is incredible. They sprint flat out to blend seamlessly with each other in long snaking lines that seem to blur into one huge coiling entity.

They see it instantly. The dire threat now faced as their group is divided into four smaller teams. No way of getting to the others and no chance of reaching the Saxon.

‘We’ve gotta go,’ Nick says urgently.

‘Not the front,’ Blowers runs from the window and round the littered dining table to reach the kitchen window on the other side of the room where he yanks the net curtains down and stares out, ‘this way,’ he climbs the kitchen surface and with a foot in the sink he gets one window open to peer down.

‘Incoming,’ Cookey pushes away from the window to slam the door closed, ‘get the table over.’

Nick and Mo Mo rush to tip the table over onto its side, the dinner bowls and food smashing onto the floor. They work quickly, barricading the door with anything they can grab while the undead gain entry to the front door below and start the thunderous charge. Noise everywhere. Gunfire and Meredith barking. Snarling voices that screech with fury and the door bangs hard as they reach the other side.

‘Can we get down?’ Nick shouts across to Blowers leaning out the window.

‘Yeah, flat roof below…must be a store room at the back of the shop…’

‘What about the dog?’ Nick asks running over to join him.

‘Curtains,’ Mo Mo shouts and yanks the thick material hanging by the side of the window free from the fixings, ‘we can lower her.’

‘Quick,’ Blowers shouts, ‘Cookey hold that door.’

‘Yeah right,’ Cookey throws his weight into the barricade while holding his assault rifle clutched in his hands, ‘fucking hold the door he says.’

‘Done it?’ Blowers looks over at Nick and Mo Mo wrapping the middle of the curtain under Meredith’s stomach.

‘Have to do, come on,’ clicking his tongue Nick guides the growling dog to the window, ‘go down and I’ll lower her.’

‘Mate, you can’t hold her, she’s way too fucking heavy. Mo, grab one side with Nick.’

‘Yup,’ Mo jumps onto the kitchen side and waits while Blowers pushes through the frame and lowers himself down until hanging by his fingertips with his assault rifle slung across his back. He lets go and thuds down onto the hot surface of the flat roof.

‘Ain’t long enough,’ Mo Mo leans out to stare down, ‘curtains ain’t long enough.’

‘Fucking go!’ Cookey strains to push against the barricade being slowly forced back.

‘Have to do,’ Nick clambers up while keeping a firm grip on the two lengths of curtain. Passing one end to Mo Mo they heave Meredith up and start manhandling her to the open window.

Meredith lets the first lift happen.
