"Alright then, let's get out of here." Vinny says. "I'm still hungry, and I still have to pee. Obviously, we won't be going back into the hospital. That is, unless you guys wanna fight more monsters." He walks back to the destroyed laboratory hallway. The whole side of the hospital is ruined. Where the secret entrance used to be is a mountain of rubble. "Let's do this." Vinny says unenthusiastically as he begins climbing. After what seems like forever, he reaches the top.
He finds himself on a grassy lawn. To his left is the entry floor of the underground parking garage. A thick, unnatural fog envelopes everything, disorienting him. "Hey guys, you should see this!" he shouts down the rubble mountain. The distinctive shambling of zombies comes from the mist. Thinking fast, he jumps into the parking garage, where a dramatic scene is unfolding. Two mafia-type men are engaged in an epic battle. Bullets fly across the parking garage, whizzing past Vinny's head. One of the dueling mafiosos dives out from behind cover and fires at the other one with a Tommy Gun.
Click. The guy tosses the weapon aside and quick-draws a pistol. The other man takes an expert shot that knocks the gun out of the guy's hand. "Come on, man. It doesn't have to be like this. We can work together. We can survive." the unarmed man preaches. "Fuck you, schmuck." the other guy says as he sprays him with gunfire. The bullet-riddled corpse falls to the ground in a puddle of blood.
The surviving gunslinger notices Vinny and points his weapon at him. "You next." "Hey, I don't want any trouble!" Vinny shouts. "You've seen too much, and I can't have you squealing to the police." the man says as his finger moves toward the trigger. A pair of grimy arms wraps around him from behind, and a zombie bites him squarely on the jugular vein. The zombie pushes him against the trunk of a Crossfire and starts feasting. Vinny aims his gun at the monster, but lowers the barrel, fearing that killing it would be a waste of ammo.
OOC: Portkins has advised me to kill off his characters. So, Regis Maloney and Giovanni Merducci are dead now. Giovanni pursued Regis across the city for weeks, eventually losing his sanity. That's how they ended up here.
