((Sorry guys would have posted but went to the movies. Zombieland was fun though. This post is to make up for the absence.))
Jack had decided to clear out the other side of the school by himself. It was dangerous and stupid, but he had no other options. The bottom floor needed to be cleared that day, with all the noise many zombies were sure to be on their way. He had carefully cleared each room with little trouble. A couple of zombie had been found, but the butt of a shotgun could bust some skulls pretty well. He heard gunshots and prayed silently that Adries was all right, but he needed to do his job.
Jack arrived at an unmarked door, and slowly opened it.
"Great fucking stairs, at least the lights are on." Jack said as he moved down the stairs to see a group of about ten zombies hunched over the body of a janitor.
"Well, they are distracted so that's a plus." Jack whispered as he turned the corner and took aim.
One of the zombies saw him and moaned, he fired the shotgun and pumped the forestock to load another round. He walked backwards towards the stairs as he continued to kill seven more zombies in the same way. He pumped the forestock and pulled the trigger, but all he heard was a click.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" Jack said as he turned and ran while searching through his pockets for more shells to kill the four other zombies. He loaded the gun with three shells as he reached the stairs. Jack pumped the forestock, and in his haste tripped and fell face first on the stairs.
He rolled over and expended the last three shells he had on him as the zombies started to climb the stairs behind him. Jack was only able to get to a crouched position as the last of the zombies shambled over the re-killed corpses to grab onto his ankle. Jack bashed the zombie in the head with the shotgun. The zombie rolled onto its side and twitched but made no move to grab or bite him. Jack stood up and held the gun by the barrel and bashed the zombie in the head until it stopped moving.
Jack wiped the blood splatter from the zombie on his sleeve and looked at his now blood stained shirt.
"Okay, I'm done for today. Note to self, bring more fucking shells next time." Jack said as he closed the door to the basement and walked back to where they were supposed to meet up again. Seeing nothing but newly blocked windows, he walked back to the chem lab. He walked through the door and laid the bloody shotgun on the desk.
"Does anyone have a wet paper towel or a tissue or something, I'd like to wipe this blood of my face before it dries on. I'll keep the bloody shirt though.I'm fine by the way, if you need me I'll be working on the transmitter." Jack said as he went back to the lab station where the transmitter was broadcasting on the desk. He still had a bit of work to do before the solar batteries would work with the transmitter, he was close though.
