aww ok night! xoxo ))
She smiled and took the paper from him, her fingers lightly brushing his. "I would like that. Being escorted by a real officer," As she said this she glanced over at Kurt. "Would make me feel so safe. And I see you eyeing your partner over there so I'll let you get back to work. See you in fifteen minutes." She smiled sweetly and made her way back into line, quite pleased with herself.
Jacob made his way back to the main door with his daughter and was greeted by two of his teammates. One was an old friend, Johnson. "Hey Aaron, been years. Guess I'll see you back at he barracks." Aaron gave his usual shrug and moved forward with the others. "Everyone, we'll just hold here until relieved by Lt. Book." All the other agreed and took positions.
davids 8 man squad dispersed into the shadows, clearing the area. slowly, as the lights changed from a normal color to a blue color, showing that the area was clean, the squad continued. david and 2 team mates ran along a wall, following fuel pipes that went to another wall. they went through with the others in their squad. davids radio bleeped once as he began talking. "maintenance area 9-15f clear, proceeding with second objective." it bleeped twice and turned off. the squad followed loran and his squads.
Loran's squad reached the maintenance gantry for nine-thirteen and met up with Odihiru. The seargent directed Loran's attention to the open room beyond. "Sir, there is something you should... see."
Loran's feet shook the gantry as he followed the Tactical Police seargent over the walkway to the entry. Beyond was the maintenance station. "What have you found?"
"I don't know, sir."
Loran turned a corner and his eyes widened. In the station room, blood covered the walls and floor along with severed body parts. "What the-"
McClean approached another building with a squad mate and opened the main door. There was nothing but an creeping calmness. Just as they turned their backs to walk away, they heard a noise. It was what sounded like a wounded moan. They both turned around to see a man stumble out of his room. The man was ghostly pale and seemed to be sluggish. "Sir, how long have you been sick?" There was no response. The soldier approached the man and grabbed his shoulder. "Sir, I need to know immedia-" A scream ensued as the man bit into the soldiers wrist.
davids squad looked in horror at the gore. "uuuuuuuuuuh... we shopuld leave... now!" the squad backed out of the room just as they heard the scream. something running at high speeds charged at them with a deafening roar. they blasted it away before it got there. "lets get outta here man!" yelled the youngest of davids squad members.
Loran spun as David's squad opened fire, and looked through the glare of the gunfire to see, in the shadows, the panic stricken and frozen shocked face of a woman. Blood soaked her gray maintenance uniform and her own wounds now added to that mess as bullets tore through her skin and caused a fretless spray of blood and haze. She screamed in both horror and pain as the impacts knocked her wounded body back, the white of her bones beginning to show between the blood sprays, then with a final stare of open mouthed confusion, the maintenance worker fell to the ground. A hole ripped completly through the lower half of her chest. Loran stood in a frozen reverie, his eyes rivited to the sight ofthe dead woman hidden again in the shadows, the sound of dripping blood sickening to hear, then his mind caught up with him and he turned to David. His anger welled up and his face bore a hard scowl. "You... you rookies! You just killed un unarmed women dont eve-" The sound became even more sickening as the sound of sludgind footsteps followed. A moan, that echoed through his bones and chilled his heart. "Aww s#it, weapons ready, fire on 'my' command! No adrenalin charged fireing..." He looked at David then looked at the approaching man as he came into the light slowly. "Sir, wait, sir please identify yoursel... what the hell!" The man's skin was paste white and blue veins crossed his forehead, his arms were limp and seemed rather bone like, then there were the eyes, opaque and unseeing. Blood covered the lower half of the lips and stained down its jaw. "He's infected with somthing volatile. Try and disable. FIRE!!"
The soldier kicked the man back and removed his weapon. "Son of a *****!" He fired twice and the man fell back. The soldier jumped back in a startle as the man once again started to get back on his feet. Firing again, the soldier started to back against a wall, but was greeted by two other men, who proceeded to bite into his shoulder. The man let out a fearfull scream and opened fired in the dark room. The rest of the squad moved to the doorway but did not enter, as they heard the sounds stop. All was quiet as they looked into the blackness. Jacob heard the commotion and turned around. "Get her to sickbay Delta in the Marine HQ, now." Jacob made his way down the hallway until he reached the lobby again. The sight was a horror as he saw all of his men firing into the building. When all went quiet for a second time, Jacob and the other soldier noticed more of the people coming towards them.

((i said deafening roar, not horrified scream 🤨 ❌ 🥷 she was infected.))
david smiled. "what rookies?" he turned to the newbie "we hold position." he turned back as slowly a large group... a horde of the infected colonists appeared out of the shadows. "well now we know what happened to the colonists." he shredded ones face with his assault rifle. as it fell more took it's place. "actually, i've changed my mind." his team backed away slowly. his comm beeped. "mission control, we have a problem."
((ominous music))
((Yea I know what you said, and the woman only screamed when she was shot. The roar still came from the Zombie dude, and darkxbox, you have no sense of suspense; after the first one silence followed, ect... I actually didnt really want to fight the Zombiz yet, I actually wanted the population to just disappear. That would have made for better story telling, people would wonder why, then question's would ensue, it would also give us time to form bonds between our characters while off duty. Then evidently, I'd leave Jacob to figure the rest out... lol ignore this! I don't mean to be blunt))
Jacob and his team backed up to the main wall and raised their weapons witha defiant look on their faces. "Are we going to let some crazy people tell us how to run OUR city!?" A rousin "SIR, NO SIR!" rose from the marines as they all took arms against the new found enemy. "What are we going to do!?" The marines all charged forward after screaming. "Kick some ass!"

the roar came from her, not the infected dude. doi.))
davids squad backed away while firing into the crowd. slowly, his squad began moving faster and faster. "run!" yelled the newb. at that moment, a vent above him burst open and two zombies crashed down on him. "ohhhhh gooooooood! help meeee! ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" he bashed away at them pointlessly as the rest of the squad ran in seperate directions. the three most experienced stayed together. "home base, home base! requesting immediate back. somethings spurred the civilians here into some kind of violent protest!" another scream sounded from the direction a squad mate had taken.
((You said it was an infected that roared when something charged (ran freightenedly) towards you, you said it because your char's didnt know what it was, it was an un-infected 'maintenance worker'/woman too scared to scream, running from the un-dead who roared (they can't do that as far as I know, groan, yea!) and followed her. Your guys shot her with-out really looking because the roar made them jumpy, and they couldnt see in the shadows. So I had you killed someone innocent, just used a little reworking of the scene in my post, eg. what the reader was seeing as they read the posts. They expect a zombie, so suprise them. My god... read some books, better yet, upgrade your imagination lol joking. I may be leaving KMC because school work is swamping in and my finals are up in two weeks... the off to pre-College after summer. 😄 ))
