Chapter 13

Jenna joined Michael at the door as they pressed their ears against it to try and figure out what was going on. There was a lot of shouting, several people screaming, soldiers giving direct orders for someone to back up, then more gunfire. Soon, what sounded like only the military attempting to control a violent confrontation turned into total chaos. Yelling, shouting, doors banging, glass breaking, guns firing and gurneys being slammed into the walls.

They took a step back as something hard collided with the door.

What sounded like a person being thrown against the door turned into multiple thuds like someone kicking the door.

More gunfire, and it stopped.

The sound of a key in the lock, and the door swung open. There was a soldier waving them out. “We’ve had a breach, follow me.”

Outside two more soldiers were on either side of the doorway, rifles raised. Before Jenna had taken a step towards the exit, one of them unleashed a deafening flurry of rounds. “Matthews, there’s too many of them. We need to take a different route.”

All six of them streamed out into the chaotic scene. A bloody handprint was smeared on the wall, a gurney was turned on its side, paperwork was lying all over the floor like confetti and there were brass shell cases surrounding multiple victims, some dead, others bleeding out. Jenna’s eyes widened, her jaw dropped.

“Ma’am, move it!” the soldier said giving her a push towards the south wing. She was followed by Michael and the other four as the sound of gunfire echoed loudly. It was the closest thing to what she imagined war was like in the Middle East. An endless stream of shouting, shooting and devastation. The walls were peppered with rounds, and slumped over a desk was Dr. David Summers. His arms hung down, blood dripping off the hands. She wanted to scream but no words escaped her mouth. It felt like she was moving in slow motion as she was thrust forward.

“Move it.”

The staccato of gunfire was so overwhelming that she’d frozen in the middle of the hallway, staring at Summers. That’s when she felt someone grab her by the wrist and pull her forward. It was Michael. “Come on.”

Out the corner of her eye she watched as four patients rushed forward straight into the line of fire. Like dominoes they dropped under a hail of bullets. Led into a stairwell, they began making the ascent with two soldiers at the front and another in the rear.

“Where are we going?” Michael bellowed but the soldiers were too focused on plowing through anyone that came at them and it seemed as if the whole damn hospital had gone nuts. The halls were in complete disarray on the main level, a window at the far end of the corridor had been smashed, and several bodies lay on the ground.

Then she saw a woman and some men hunched over what appeared to be a soldier. They were driving a steel rod repeatedly into him.
