CHAPTER 26

KATE

She heard a loud crashing sound, like a bomb had gone off next door. It came from the lobby, where Will and Danny were holed up with Lara. And the last time she checked, Carly was out there, too.

It was an intensely grinding sound, like metal against concrete. Then gunfire, and she knew Will and Danny were shooting. First they were firing single shots, but then she heard the roar of their M4A1s on full automatic.

That was the dead giveaway that something had gone terribly, terribly wrong.

Ted, sitting down the hallway a few yards from her, threw a quick look over his shoulder and she saw large, terrified eyes underneath the LED lanterns hung above him.

“Stay here!” she shouted, leaping to her feet.

She ran up the hallway. She saw Carly up ahead, turning when she heard Kate coming up on her.

“Don’t leave Vera!”

Carly nodded, but Kate was already running past her and out into the lobby.

She came right up against Will as he was backing up, dragging something on the floor with him.

Lara.

Her body limp as Will pulled her back by the wrist while he continued firing with the M4A1 using his free hand. Danny was next to him, firing on full-auto at the far wall.

Then Kate saw them.

A swarm of black death, flooding in through a massive hole in the wall. The bank doors with their thick, reinforced barrier were still there. But that didn’t matter now, and the sight of the still-standing doors next to the gaping hole in the wall looked patently absurd. She stared at the front grill of a four-door Chevrolet sedan, covered in brick and mortar and dust, and over the roof of the vehicle, at the nebulous moonlit parking lot of the strip mall beyond.

Every time Danny and Will shot one of the creatures, two or three (or five) instantly took its place, leaping over the quickly piling bodies. The front of the lobby was covered in black, oozing, contaminated blood and shriveled forms, like a growing landfill of black prunes with arms and legs, heads and eyes.

Through the fog and gunfire, she heard Will screaming: “I’m out! I’m out!”

She ran to him and got a quick glimpse of Lara on the floor. She hardly recognized the pretty blonde girl from this morning. Lara’s face was covered in a mask of blood, and she blinked her eyes rapidly, as if trying desperately to get her bearings.

“Go!” Kate screamed.

Will pulled Lara past her, trying to reload at the same time. It seemed like an impossible task, but he was actually dragging Lara and reloading at the same time. She didn’t know how that was even possible.

Kate switched her M4A1 to full-auto and, bracing against the kick she knew was coming, began firing into the wall of ghouls rushing through the wall. There were so many of them, filling every inch of cold, brightly lit open space, that it was impossible to miss. She didn’t even have to aim, she just concentrated her fire into the thickest part of the mob.
