It was the last entry. Rebecca closed the journal and set it aside, next to the chess set that was centered on the desk. When she’d found the hidden cache, she’d thought the rudimentary maps had been the prize. There were two, one that showed what appeared to be three floors of the building’s basement, including a few unmarked areas that perhaps led outside. The other seemed to be upstairs, a room labeled OBSERVATORY next to a wide, open area marked BREEDING POOL. But the small, leatherbound journal, dusty and crinkled with age—she didn’t know how old, exactly, but one of the entries about working with the leeches had “1988” marked in an upper corner—had been the real discovery. Written by James Marcus, presumably, apparently the creator of the T-virus, the same virus that turned men into zombies, that had infected the train and probably half of Raccoon forest, if the recent murders were any clue.

Rebecca gazed blankly at the room’s strange decor, the giant chessboard that dominated the floor, her mind working. He’d obviously been crazy by the end, his ramblings about chess, about the “true meaning” of the virus. Maybe running experiments on people had driven him over the edge.

Her radio signaled. She’d no sooner pushed RECEIVE before Bill’s breathless voice blared in her ear.

“Where are you? We need to regroup, now. Hello? Ah, over.”

“What happened? Over.”

“What happened is that I ran into another one of those leech-people in the can, and it very nearly whacked the crap out of me. Zombies we can handle, but these things—they eat bullets, Rebecca. We don’t have enough ammo to hold more of them off. Over.”

“They’ve begun to colonize, like ants or bees.”

Who was controlling them? Marcus? Or had they developed their own leader, a queen?

“Okay,” Rebecca said. She picked up the basement and observatory sketches she’d found, stuffed them into her vest as she stood up. After a second, she grabbed the journal, too, slipping it into a hip pocket. “Uh, meet me on the landing, where that picture of Marcus was. I may have found a way out, over.”

“On my way. Watch your back, over and out.”

She hurried out of the room and down the hall, moving quickly. She hadn’t gotten far in her exploration, just an empty meeting room and then the office with the chess sets; thankfully, she hadn’t run into anything hostile. Billy was right about the leech-men, there was no way they could handle more of those. In fact, it seemed likely that the only reason the collection of leeches on the train had stopped attacking them was because they were called off. She’d had vague hopes of staying in the nice, safe house until help arrived, but after reading Marcus’s journal, hearing that the training facility was infected—they needed to get out.

After all she’d already been through tonight—the forced helicopter landing, the train, Billy, the crash, now this—she kept expecting the cavalry to ride in, for someone else to take over, to send her home to a warm dinner and bed so that she could wake up tomorrow and start her normal life again.
