Combing the Ruins

If you’ve never had to kill someone before, I don’t recommend the experience. It always leaves me feeling a little queasy—Jonathan Parks

Holly waits for me while I retrieve my orange jumpsuit and underclothes from the locker room next to the infirmary where two guards were attacked, one zombie thing was shot, and I was bitten. So far, I feel fine. The bite wound healed over completely and nothing more has come of it.

Still, I wait. Dr. Albert said they did not know what would happen if I was bitten. Certainly, the possibility at least one of them would get free had seemed unlikely at the time. I still can’t understand it. I was in one of those cells briefly, and I can’t imagine how anyone could escape.

“I’m ready,” I say, zipping up the front of the jumpsuit. I still look like a prison inmate, but after two weeks wearing the orange jumpers, I’m less self conscious about it.

Holly turns around. She wasn’t about to wait in the hall. The locker room only has push-pull doors, but it’s a little better than nothing. From what I’ve seen, movement is a primary trigger for their rage. Much better for them to pass a closed door and move on than see you and attack.

“Do you know how to use a gun?” Holly asks.

I nod my head. I have fired them before. My grandfather had a collection that he taught me to use safely. Besides, I am avid gamer, at least before all of this, and I know first person shooters which are all about using guns.

Holly removes another Glock from her pocket. “This one came from Sam, the first guard who was killed in the infirmary. I don’t know if the other infected are loose, so you better be ready to defend yourself.”

I take the pistol and thumb the latch to remove the clip. I’ve seen this done on television, so I figure it’s standard procedure. Most of what my grandfather owned were rifles, but he had a few pistols—revolvers, but the concept is the same. I look at the magazine. There are nine rounds in the clip. I replace the magazine in the handle and pop it closed. I pull the slide back just enough to see another tenth round already in the chamber from when the agent used it last.

“The trigger is weighted a little heavy, so you’ll have to mean it,” she explains. “Still, it’s probably better to keep your finger out of the trigger guard like this unless you see one of them coming for us.”

She shows me her hand on her pistol. Her trigger finger is laid along the barrel, so she doesn’t accidentally fire the weapon. Holly obviously has skills, so I pay attention to what she has to say.

“It’s not like a video game,” she says, guessing this might be the main point of reference for someone my age. I try not to blush at this. “You have to maneuver the weight of a real weapon, point your aiming arm directly at your target.
