"We are attempting to save her." Ramsey sighed. "And you are trying my patience, Mr. Thurmond. I offer

you and your son the same salvation. Come with us. Dimassi and I intend to leave this place. Ramsey Towers could have withstood this attack, but with Bates in charge, its defenses will weaken. Our time here is over."

Beaming, he offered his free hand. The other hand tightened on the pistol grip.

Beside him, Frankie grunted again. "Ungh umnh!"

"No chance," Jim said, and stood his ground.

"Then you leave me no choice." Ramsey pointed the gun at his chest. "You are standing between us and the elevator to the roof. Get out of our way, Mr. Thurmond, or I can guarantee that you and your son will join the undead."

"Fuck this, Mr. Ramsey," DiMassi grunted. "Let's just use the stairwell on the other end of the hallway."

Jim clenched his fists and whispered, "Danny, run back to the elevators and get help."

Instead, Danny stepped forward, his own small hands balled into fists like his father's.

"You leave my Daddy alone, and let Frankie go!"

Ramsey laughed. "That is exactly the kind of spirit the next generation of humanity will need to survive. You will definitely be an asset, young man. You may come with us."

Danny darted forward and kicked Ramsey in the shin. Before Jim could move, DiMassi seized Danny. He twisted the boy's arm behind his back, and used Danny as a shield. Danny cried out.

"Don't move, Thurmond," Ramsey shouted. "Do as I say, and I give you my word that your son will live. Disobey me, and I will kill you all, starting with him."

"That will be the last thing you ever do, you son of a bitch. Leave him alone."

"This is not the time for bravado, Mr. Thurmond. I know your story. You traveled hundreds of miles to save your son. You won't let him die now."

Jim bit his lip. Blood filled his mouth.

Ramsey motioned with the pistol. "Get down on the floor, now."

Jim hesitated. He saw his own fear reflected in Danny and Frankie's eyes. Then, reluctantly, he sagged to his knees.

Ramsey grabbed Danny's ear and twisted it between his fingers.

"Let me go!"

"Quiet, you ungrateful little brat. You will do as I say, or I will kill your father."

Frankie struggled against her bonds.

Ramsey pinched Danny's ear harder. "Lay down on the floor, Thurmond, and put your hands over your head. DiMassi, bring the woman. We're leaving."

"The only way you're getting out of here with my son," Jim said, "is to go through me."

"Indeed?"

"Over my dead body." Jim drew himself up, ready to spring.

Ramsey cocked his head and smiled.

"Very well then. If you insist."

The gunshot echoed through the corridor.

The zombies swarmed onto the second floor, pouring from the stairwells and spilling out of the elevator shafts. The men and women defending the entrances had no time to scream, let alone impede their progress. Like a tidal wave, the zombies washed over them, slaughtering everything in their path.

Nurse Kelli was on the third floor, on her
