"Never mind me!" Liam exclaimed, looking around. "We're getting you out, now! We need to get everyone here moving towards the entrance." He turned his broadcast back on. [b]"OK, EVERYONE! There is a rescue force just outside, fighting to help you get out. Please stay calm and move towards the entrance of the building."[/B]
"I'm pretty sure that they aren't gonna come with something like that. We'll have to go and get them. These people I've been protecting are scared witless and I'm the only one that they trust so far," Naomi said to Liam condescendingly. "Follow me. They'll get spooked if they see all of this fighting and then a monkey-boy pops up.
"It's twelve people hiding out. Most of them are older people, so we're gonna have to work hard not to give them heart attacks." Naomi raced back down the hall. She was a lot faster since leaving the school. She could now run at speeds of about 55mphs in quick bursts. When she got back to the hideout, she couldn't tell where anyone was. That was good. She was teaching them how to avoid being spotted. It was a life saving technique that spared them a number of times.
Liam was right behind her when she called out for her group. "Ok people. I'm back. And I have some help." They came out from various places and quickly formed together. When they saw Liam's monkey-like features, some of them took a step back.
Ignoring that, she spoke, "This is Liam. I went to school with him and he's gonna be a big help. I'm pretty sure most of you all heard his message but just in case, there's a rescue squad out trying to get everyone to safety. We need everyone to stay close. When we say move, move. When we say stop, stop. When we say run, do it as fast as you can. Don't worry about getting attacked. We'll have your front and back. Got it? Good. Let's move."
Finally, she had help.

Caleb heard DJ's question but he was so concerned with Naomi, that he ignored everything except an attack that was meant for him. Sam still hadn't answered him and he was just about to head for the building when he saw a group coming out. With Liam in front and Naomi in back.
More than a few infected saw them and Caleb took notice of that. "Cover me," he said to a super who was shooting golden darts from her fingers. Sam made an opening for him when he asked and he raced towards the infected while turning invisible.
I'm coming, Na, he thought to himself.
