We Can Never Leave Well Enough Alone

[janet_fraiser]

Janet, Charlie, Crichton, and Archie slipped out of the library. Liz was missing. They were going to find her, fast, and then they were going to get the hell back to the library.

John's eyes dart around, scanning.

"God, it's so damn quiet. It's eerie," he whispers.

Archie shakes his head. "I don't see any zombies. Do you?"

Kawalsky shakes his head.

"Charlie," John says, trying to get his attention. "When we get there, we bringing them back or we gonna stay there?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Charlie looks around. "We'll stay there, for now. Depends on what we find when we get there. The zombies aren't going for the dorms. Seems safer to stay there. We can at least set everyone up, then maybe head back and help the library folks. Maybe."

They needed better intel. Why weren't the zombies going for the dorms? And had they reached the library yet? "Janet, if you've still got your cell phone try calling the library and see if anyone answers. Find out what's going on."

John nods. "Good idea. I know Cam's got them pretty well sealed up in there. Need a favor. We get there, I'm going to find Aeryn. Finally was able to contact her about an hour ago. She's fine but I'm going to get her."

[janet_fraiser]

Where's Aeryn at?

You're not going alone.

"No problem, pal. We'll get her too. We don't leave anyone behind."

Janet's cell rang just then, making her jump. "Hello?" She could hear someone yelling. "Parker? Parker?" She hung up and shook her head. "Damn it!"

"Hold on. I'll get on the library."

The smell of rotting flesh is overpowering as a zombie comes out of the hallway five feet from you. Its clothing is covered in graveyard dirt, and its eyes have rotted completely from its sockets.

John notices the sudden zombie and shoots to kill.

Something slowly walks towards you making a wet squishing sound.

The posture is off. The facial expressions are wrong.

And it looks hungry.

"Uh, guys? Company." Kawalsky raises his weapon, keeping it levelled at the zombie. "Don't shoot yet. Just.. wait a sec." He wanted a closer look. Not too close.

John winces, looking at the visitor. "Ugh. That is just not right."

Archie fumbles with the 9MM for a moment, completely unaware of the safety on it, and raises it into ready position, hoping like hell one of his fits won't see the need to come upon him now.

[janet_fraiser]

Calling the library:

Hey! How's the library looking?

*sound of a gun discharging*

We've got zombies in the hallway!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John nods, agreeing. "Nope, no zombies. But, do we know what they're gonna look like? Are they gonna be Night of the Living Dead kinda guys or something else entirely?

Anyone ever seen a zombie?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Not that I know of -- but it would explain a hell of a lot about Captain Keane."

Something moves, jerkily, not far down the hallway. It steps toward you and the smell of rotting flesh drifts on the air.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Archie...we got one right here."

John raises the gun slowly.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, blast -- do you smell that? There's another one."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Aw, what the hell. These things are not sharing my dorm room!"

John shoots until the head becomes a stream of zombie ooze.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I saw them in town. Slow-moving corpses with no eyes."

[janet_fraiser]

"That's so gross. Could they see?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Uh, I dunno. I was running in the other direction. But if they've got eyes, I didn't see 'em."
