Chapter Six

Finding a window overlooking the east side of the hospital was easy enough, and with the aid of night vision they were able to locate the abandoned ambulance. It was powered down; no lights, no siren, and as such, had few undead around it.

“I’m not sure why I have to be the one to do this.” Bridges complained as they looked out of the window.

“Because I said so.” Jack responded; he didn’t add it was also because although he was a good marksman, he was also an annoying shit and if anyone could draw in a large crowd of the undead, he was confident Bridges would be able to manage it.

“So, assuming the ambulance works, that I’m able to draw in a crowd of the infected and attract the attention of Bolvinox so they think we’re going the other way, how am I supposed to get to the damn helicopter?” A surly Bridges wanted to know.

“You’re not going to go that far out of the way. Once you’ve led them in the wrong direction find somewhere you can ditch the ambulance where it won’t be easily detected, then double time it to the extraction point. Make sure it won’t take you any longer to get there than it will take us. You may want to run.”

“I’ll be with you to keep you safe.” Smith told him condescendingly.

“And when are we pulling out?” Cross asked over the radio.

“A little before we do. When Ty and I were there, the north side looked clearest, but you’ve probably got a better idea than we do.” Jack responded.

“Understood.”

“Once you join the convoy, Ty and I will cover the front while you and Rodriguez cover the rear; we stay moving quickly, avoid as much enemy contact as possible and go straight to the extraction point.” Jack declared firmly.

“Understood.” The team responded, though Bridges was a little more subdued in his response than the others.

“Bridges, Smith, start making your way down now. Check on the status of the ambulance and make sure it’s operational.”

“On it.” Smith answered. Bridges said nothing and simply followed his comrade as she set off to a stairwell they’d identified on their way to the window, which would be closer to the ambulance.

Tyrone and Jack were left alone looking through the window; Tyrone said nothing, simply staring out into the gloom.

“You’re not a fan of my plan?” Jack questioned, sensing his friends unease.

“It’s a good plan.”

“So what is it?”

“Nothing.”

“If you’ve got something to say, spit it out before we hit the road.” Jack told him shortly. Tyrone glanced at him, and then towards the door of the room they were in. He took his helmet off and gestured for Jack to do the same. Jack shrugged questioningly, but complied.

“Are you sure this is for the best?” Tyrone asked.

“Splitting the team up?”

“Leaving the flash drive with her. If she goes down—”

“That could to happen to any of us. The infected don’t seem to be entirely picky over who they eat.”

“But the Bolvinox security team is; they’ll be gunning for her first.
