CHAPTER EIGHT

It is eleven long blocks to the hospital as the crow flies but we are forced to zig zag around obstacles and packs of zombies so it is an even longer trek for us. We take it slow and careful, the damn hospital isn’t going nowhere. Cassandra has been taking out the occasional crawler, as we go, quick and quiet with her hatchet but so far we have been able to avoid serious trouble.

We hunkered down for a few minutes to let a small band of scavengers from a different camp go by, they might not have been hostile but we aren’t on a mission to make new friends either. I want us there and back with no drama of any kind.

The hospital looms ahead of us now, nine stories tall with God knows how many levels below ground. The task of searching it seems more daunting now than it did when we came up with this plan. We will start by searching the lower levels and look for that CDC quarantine lab the doc was talking about, it seems like our best shot at this.

There are a few assorted sized zombies milling about between us and the emergency room entrance that will have to be dealt with.

“Clear it.” I whisper to Willis.

He nods and takes out a crossbow with a mounted scope and pulls back hard on the cocking lever.

I am no sharp shooter, either with a gun or a freaking crossbow. My accuracy is sufficient to blowing out zombie brains at close range and I am not bad in fire fight against human raiders either but this kind of shooting I leave to those who excel at it.

Despite my misgivings about him, Willis is awesome with a crossbow.

Give the devil his due.

He drops six zombies, one by one with a crossbow bolt through their little brainpans. They drop to the ground and there is no noise to draw more of the vermin. When the last one goes down we move out as quickly and quietly as we can towards the entrance. Willis takes a moment to pull the bolts out of each body and shake the blood and other crud off of them before replacing them in the quiver he carries across his back.

I give him a quick thumbs up that he ignores and then we are spilling through the hospital entrance into the emergency room area.

First thing we do is we all turn on flashlights because it is dark up in here. Other scavengers have been here and for some reason they have tagged the walls with spray painted graffiti. The need to do that isn’t really something that I can relate to.

Us Narwhals don’t bother with that, we get in get what the hell we need and get out.

Silently we fan out and head for the stairway so we can start to check out the lower floors. We open the door and right away Jamal has to take out a ravenous preteen who goes right for his throat.
