Following the final comprehensible radio message, John had listened carefully for fifteen minutes to a few garbled transmissions that he assumed were the results of the talk-button being accidentally pushed down as Tina led her RRTs into the fight. What he heard wasn’t encouraging, with the most recent transmission lasting two seconds and sounding for all the world like a man screaming in mindless fear. It was a scream he expected to hear in a mental institution rather than on a battlefield; a primordial wail of terror that resembled the cry of a sheep being devoured by wolves. That scream propelled him into action.

John told the snipers to sling their M1As and carry their halberds at port arms, explaining that they were going to double time toward the sound of the battle and reassess their options when they made contact with the enemy. The three Rangers carried nearly one hundred pounds of guns and ammo, with John toting the M60 and several hundred belt-fed rounds. Still, the trained warriors covered ground quickly, soon topping a slight rise on the main street through the addition where they could look down on a scene that could have come from a thousand years ago. The RRT members were fighting for their lives about a hundred yards away, those still on their feet drawn back into a tight circle, surrounded by a mound of corpses that at least a hundred zombies were frantically trying to climb over.

John’s first impulse was to rush headlong into the battle, especially since he couldn’t see Tina’s distinctive orange helmet among the standing fighters. But his training overcame his emotions, as it was designed to do, and he ordered the snipers to follow him into a two-story, brick home that had two large windows facing the battleground. As they reached the second floor, John told Todd to go into the bedroom on the right while he took Bobby into the one on the left. Todd’s orders were to thin the herd without endangering any of their people, but he had a different plan for Bobby. John stood for a moment at the window scanning the area for the bright orange helmet he had begged Tina to wear so he would be able to quickly find her in a fight.

Suddenly he caught a flash of orange through a mound of frenzied zombies grabbing and clawing at the person they had trapped on the ground about eight feet beyond what was obviously a shrinking defensive perimeter. His heart leapt into his throat at the site of his wife being mobbed by zombies, until he saw one of the monsters fall back clutching its face. Then another stumbled back and fell from a kick to the head. Tina was still alive!

John furiously kicked out the window glass as he yelled to Bobby, “Tina’s on the ground at ten-o-clock, eight feet from the circle; you can see her orange helmet.”

Bobby was already lying in a prone firing position, and at this range he was immediately ready to shoot.
