Chapter Twenty-Three

The two walked through the corridors with their heads down. The bruises and swollen eyes would give them away. They ran into a few guards, but had no trouble. Ally glanced at the watch she'd snagged: it was the middle of the night. Jerry might be crazy, but he wasn't stupid. His men would be on a round-the-clock schedule, so they had to stay alert.

They turned down a hallway and walked for a lengthy stretch until they hit a staircase. Daniel bumped into a guard, and mumbled apologies. Ally guided them up the steps and then exited to the right. A few doors down she spotted more guards.

"Does this seem too easy, or is it just me?" Daniel whispered.

Ally hesitated before answering. "I'd like to say it's just you, but the rational part of me knows something else is going on."

"Thanks for the morale booster," he said.

"There," she said and bent her head.

The guards paid them no attention until it was too late. Ally and Daniel worked fast, each one knocking a man out with the butts of their rifles. Ally found the right key on one of the guards' belts, and released Sean and Kevin. They dragged the bodies of the guards inside the small room, then stripped them of weapons and secured them with restraints. Her head shot up when she heard explosions and screams echoing all over the place.

"They know we're gone, this is the first place they'll look," Ally said.

She maneuvered them halfway to their destination when a klaxon went off. The bright lights above flickered off, and red emergency lights flashed every fifty feet.

"What the hell is this? This isn't for us," Daniel said.

Ally remained silent and hoped Jerry had been freed and put some security measure in place. The alternative reason for the alarms, a zombie invasion they couldn’t hope to survive, was far too terrifying to give thought.

She forced herself to take a step forward, and then another and another until she was walking at a steady clip. Men in dark suits ignored them, running past in each direction, screaming as they to fled.

If her memory served, they were ten minutes away from freedom. A shadow shot across the corridor to her left and she quickened her pace. She knew Daniel saw it too, because his face drained of color.

Goddamn it, why does this always happen?

Engines roared to life somewhere nearby and several metallic gates in front of small areas blocked off with cement blocks were pulled down by blood-covered men. A zombie stepped in front of them and Ally swore the thing smiled. They fired, and the bullets missed their mark, the thing moving too fast. Daniel moved to the left to try and flank it, but was blocked.

"You won't outthink it. They've had months to plan this."

He fired off a dozen rounds before looking at her. "Come on! I know they can adapt and shit, but an organized assault?"

Ally fired, chipping one of the super-zombie's teeth and it roared its displeasure.
