CHAPTER 17

NEW PLAN

THEY CROWD AROUND me as I speak on the phone, hanging on my every word.

“Yep… Okay… Yeah, we can do that… Sounds good… Sure, we can make that happen… Yep, we have a way in… Okay, hang on a sec!” I scramble for a piece of paper and pen. “Okay, go…” I start jotting down numbers. “Got it, see you on the other side.” I hang up the phone, staring down at it as I digest what I’ve just been told.

“Who was it?” Fick asks impatiently.

“You guys aren’t going to believe this! That was Captain Jeffords. Our plan has just been upgraded.”

“Is someone coming to get us?” Fick asks excitedly.

“In a way, yes! Now, everyone sit while I lay out this plan.”

Everyone takes a seat except for Matt. He walks over to the duffel bag to grab another beer.

“Matt, you joining us?” I ask, pulling the rolling whiteboard to the front of the table.

“Nah man, you just point me in a direction and I’ll be there.”

“Alright, just take it easy on the drinking! I need you at full strength.”

“Shit, I’m just hydrating!”

“Fair enough, big fella.”

I grab a couple of whiteboard markers and quickly draw an outline of Zook Towers.

“Okay, we’re here,” I say, putting an ‘X’ on the fiftieth floor of tower one. “We need to stop on the seventy-fifth floor to get Zoe. As you mentioned, though, that’s ground zero for the outbreak, and we can clearly see through the video feed that a lot of zombies are on that floor. So, we look at seventy-four and seventy-six to see where there are less. We then take the stairs to seventy-five and lure them down the stairwell. Once they’re a decent distance away, we jump back on Zook’s elevator and make our way to the seventy-fifth. Then, we get Zoe and make our way to Zook’s penthouse.”

“What?” Fickle gasps. “Why?”

“Zook has a helipad, so that’s when the NYPD will swoop in on a helicopter to pick us up!”

“Wait, I thought you said, ‘no one out alive’?” Vegas says.

“Yeah, I know, but the NYPD are on our side. The military don’t know anything about this.”

“So, what’s the number for?” Fickle asks. “You supposed to call them when we get to the top? We know the phone works here, but are you sure it works up there?”

“Ah, welcome to the show, Fick! Now you’re thinking. This number isn’t for a pickup call, it’s for Channel Two News. I’m supposed to call, tell them we’re trapped inside and then leak the story about Zook. If we can show that people are alive in here, then that might give us some slack with the military.”

“Again, how are you supposed to call them after we leave?” Fick asks, pulling his smartphone out of his pocket. “It looks like our phones are still useless.”

“Yeah, Jeffords thinks the military is jamming the cell signals. That, or the building is doing it, somehow. Bottom line, in an outbreak, they don’t want anyone trying to contact the outside, but our phones can be used for something else.
