Chapter 3

It wasn’t that he wasn’t sympathetic. He just didn’t have time to show it as he pushed on through the group and led them up towards the roof. They got to another floor without incident, but as they reached the next, they found the door wedged open, and a Crazy came running right for him. He took a lesson from their last experience and grabbed hold of him, using his momentum to launch him up and over the banister, causing him to crash down onto the one attacking the man below and kill them all.

“How do you do this? How is this normal for you?” Kurt was looking on in astonishment at how comfortable he was with it all.

“Trust me, none of this is normal, but I am a Marine. You deal with whatever is in front of you.”

He removed the wedge from the door and assisted the door to close slowly and quietly.

“What the hell is a US Marine doing in Edinburgh?”

“No longer serving. I was working private security.”

He pushed Kurt on and joined him as they kept climbing the stairs. A Crazy rushed out in front at the next floor, and to Bobby’s amazement, Kurt didn’t hesitate. He smashed his bat into one of his knees, and he dropped down onto the steps at his feet. He reached for Kurt’s ankles, but he recoiled back from his grip and delivered a swift strike to his head, cracking his skull. Bobby looked surprised at how he’d handled himself.

“I’m from Glasgow. You learn to get by,” he said with a smile.

“That swing is the best thing I’ve seen since this shit storm began,” he said, looking back to the others. They were all silent and in shock.

“Look, I’m not your babysitter. We’re all in this together. The next time you see one of those things,” he said, pointing his axe at the bloody body, “You kill it, any way you can, do you understand me? I will lead you to safety as best I can, but you have to be willing to fight for it, do you get me?”

Most of them still looked dazed and far from ready for a fight, but he had no one else to turn to.

“We’re going to make it through whatever this is, but only if we stick together and give it our all. The next time you see one of those things, you kill it, you hear?”

There were groans in agreement, but it was a long way from the close-knit team he was used to being a part of. He watched them all with suspicion, knowing he needed support, but also distrusting them all at the same time. Only Kurt had proven himself in Bobby’s eyes. His look turned to concern.

“What is it?” Kurt asked.

But Bobby didn’t need to answer. They could all hear it now, and they looked up to see figures on the stairs above, running down, hunting. Bobby ripped the door open to the fifth floor they were on.

“Everyone inside, now!”

“What about the roof?”

“We’ll get there, Kurt, but not yet.
