Dead of Night - Part 23
by Ada Woods
Holy fucking Christ
pls tell me u got back in the car?!?!?!
EMMA!!!!!
I made it..
but just barely.
Holy shit those things are fast!
Another second and they would have seen me!
But ur safe?
Yeah, Christian’s car is between the long building, the wall and the big metal door…
So it’s behind those things as they enter… and fairly well hidden.
What about U?
Why the hell are u texting me NOW?!
There’s too much gunfire.
I’m giving the infected time to kill GI Joe’s guys.
No shit!
Christian’s car has been shot like ten times.
There were two guards patrolling when I opened the lock...
They started shooting the second the alarm went off.
Were u hit?!
No. But it’s chaos in here.
And fucking loud.
I know. Between the alarm and the screams I can’t tell if the shooting stopped.
I think it has…
which probably means the patrol guards are dead.
Great. So I’ll PROBABLY not get shot if I come in?
Hang on… I have an idea.
Em, don’t do anything stupid.
Em?!
I’m here…
you need to wait.
?
I climbed out of the trunk through the back seat of Christian’s car.
I have a pretty good view of the ground from here.
No! Get back in the trunk and hide!
It’s really dark here… I’m ok.
God damn it…
What do u see?
They’re everywhere.
I know that much. What about soldiers?
The small hangar just opened…
soldiers r coming out with…
Jesus!
They have flame throwers!
And the dumbass zombies just run into the fire.
They’re not dying?!
Oh no… they die screaming. They‘re lighting them up!
More soldiers now…
they’re setting up guns now.
BIG FUCKING GUNS.
They have the zombies bottlenecked between the first building and the wall…
for now.
Holy shit!
They’re mowing them down like blades of grass.
What the hell are they using? It sounds like chainsaws.
Gatlin guns. Like in Predator.
U shouldn’t be in there.
It’s too dangerous!
Uh-huh. Little late for that so let’s stay on point here.
Fuck… they just keep coming...
They have to climb over their buddies who got their legs shot off...
But they’re getting closer to the soldiers.
Their ammunition is gonna give out eventually.
OMG!!!
The flamethrowers just got overrun!
The pack has pushed past the edge of the building…
some are going behind the hangar.
The soldiers r gonna be surrounded.
Once that happens it’ll be all over.
Ada, I don’t see how ur gonna get Woody out of there.
Even if they leave YOU alone.
How will you keep them away from your dad?
There r too many.
I was just thinking that same thing.
Shit!
What?
Christian and his dad…
they’re getting in the helicopter.
What’s going on?
I hear a lot of screaming but no gunfire.
They got ‘em! Those things are ripping the soldiers apart.
All of them but GI Joe and his coward son.
They left his guys and ran.
I know. I saw them.
They flew out low over the front gate.
Did they see u?
Maybe. The spotlight hovered on me for a second.
Doesn’t matter, though.
They’re on the run now. Not me.
Ada, ur dad.
I know. I’m coming in.
I see you. God…
it’s so eerie the way they avoid you like that.
Stay to your right and look back over ur shoulder…
you’ll see where I am.
Jesus, Em…
If I can see u so can the infected.
Put ur fucking head down!!
I can’t.
Why?
I know this isn’t the time…
but if u had any idea how cool u look right now…
It’s NOT the time, Em.
I know. But you’re strolling through a mob of murderous zombies...
with a pistol in your hand like Lara Fucking Croft.
I have to film this with Christian’s phone.
Ur insane.
No… I’m terrified and desperately in need of distraction.
Do u have any idea how many YouTube hits this is gonna get?
Ur a whack job.
I’m gonna start at the last building and work my way back to you.
I need you to be my eyes out here but don’t take any chances, Em.
The second one of those things gets close to the car, u get in the trunk and hide.
Whatever. Where r u now?
I’m at the last building.
It looks secure and there are few steps up to the door.
Hopefully I can get a better look around.
I see u now.
What’s the story from up there?
It’s not good.
These things are swarming everywhere.
I don’t know if its safe to bring him out here..
if he’s even in there.
Won’t they stay away if he’s right next to you?
I don’t know.
When our bus crashed outside Houston…
they picked off the people around me like hawks.
Carried them into the wave of infected and tore them apart.
But were they RIGHT next to you?
No… but… I’m scared, Em.
Scared for my dad.
Ur dad’s a bigger badass than you’ll ever be…
And right now, ur pretty bad ass.
I’m sure someone felt the same way about those guys with the Gatlin guns.
Now look at them.
I’m trying not to. Though, they did ask for it…
but I’m not sure anyone deserves to be eaten.
Sgt Delaney does. And his asshole son.
So break your mother fuckin’ dad out of there bitch and lets go get ‘em!
If we get out of this, ur going home, Em.
Bullshit. U need me.
We’ll argue later… if ur not dead.
OK. Ur gonna hear a bang, Em.
But its just me shooting the lock off the door.
OK.
Wait!
?
Did check to see if it’s unlocked first?
I’ll be damned.
See. U need me.
I’m going in double fisted, Em.
This building isn’t very big…
So I’ll text you if I don’t die in the next two minutes.
Good luck.
