A painful silence gripped at Jacob as the creatures turned their attention to him. Just as they were almost on him, Jacob heard a voice coming from insid ea building. "Let's take this battle back to the street!" The door was then kicked open by a soldier who was being followed by two others. Opening fire, they tore down many of the advancing infected.
(OK)
Rek half spun and fired on a leaper that was about to pounce on him. He saw Jacob cornered and was about to head back when a door about twenty nine meters away was shot off of its hinges and the bullets tore into the vicious creatures that (😄"I"😄 introduced and) were attacking Jacob. Three soldiers sweapt out from the building and spotted Jacob, and then; Rek and Kat. Two started firing cover while a third approached Jacob. Rek hit his com. "Kat. Feel like waiting?"
She was quiet for a moment as she thoguth his words over. "Huh... Tell you the truth hun I don't know... That's the military's problem. I'm just doing my job... But if I'd have to guess I'd say because they are afraid of their mistakes or imperfections." She stopped and spun, firing at anything that came up behind Jacob and the others.
Rek took down severa more leapers and another classic 'z' when his gun jammed. "What?" He pulled the trigger. Nothing. "What!" Reks expression became one of pure horror as he tried to pull the catch back and clear the jamm. No "WHAT?!" A massive ear splitting scream filled the air. Followed by several more screams. Rek placed one hand against his helmet.
"Rek your next."
Rek looked behind him but only Kat stood there. The screams became unbearable. "SHUUUT UP!!!" Rek slammed his fist against a wall and the screams suddenly quietened. He pulled his fist away and saw several bricks were broken. "Mu- mu- m-" He collapsed.
the c4 mines went off. carlos team came up the elevator. they held the doors open as it lowered. they shot the caples and let the elevator, filled with more explosives, plummet. it slammed into the bottom just as the closed the doors. an explosion rocked the skool and smoke billowed from the elevator shaft and the windows. hundreds of zombies surrounded the skool as the soldiers boarded the ch-46. the helicopter took of just as a few leapers broke open the elevator doors. the helicopter flew to a safe distance as a bomb leveled the school. the helicopter circled above the others. "kat, jacob, carlos, shannon ((etc.)) we're above you, need any assistance?"
"They're starting to talk to him. I've dealt with it for years so I've learned to tune it out. Try and prop him up and... well pop him in the head, usually works." Jacob turned around and fired. "Carlos! Don't risk the chopper. Just wait until we can find a safe drop zone. It's up to you whether you cover us or conserve fuel." Jacob spun around. "You three, follow me to the other two and lay down cover until we can get the other one back on his feet." Jacob and the three marines made their way over to the others. Two of the soldiers that had accompanied Jacob to the City Hall joined the fight too.
(Yup! They are talking to him to.)
Rek shook his head but found his body shaking anyway. "I- I- I- mm- ooo- kkkay." Rek took off his helmet revealing his sweat plastered face.
"Come to us. You are already part of us."
"D- d- did you hear that?" He asked already knowing the answer. The shaking stopped and he reached out and gripped his leg armour plate. He ripped it from the suit and his eyes widened. "I don't remember that happening." He looked at a massive chunk of missing flesh. Blood poured down the open limb. "I'm infected." He said calmly. His grip tightened on the armour plate. Rain began to fall from the sky. Slow at first then faster and faster. Soon everything was slick a shiney in the lights from the Hazmat suits and the moon above.
Jacob and the others reached Kat and Rek and Jacob went down on one knee surveying Rek's leg. "C'mon, we can't stay here and longer. You two!" Jacob was pointing at two of the survivors that had traveled with him. "Grab one arm and limp him along with us. Now!" A low roar came from behind them. "Hunter! Move!" Jacob started to pull Rek up himself as a ear-splitting scraem came from a marine who was tackled into an alley way. "We can't save him. We have to go now!"
((Oh and Rek, You've peaked my curiosity, so you have the go ahead with the new creature.))
