"Shoot them in the head" #zombies


The group listens intently as Dave gives them more directions. 

Nobody dares to question him as the tactical aspect has turned out to be Dave’s specialty.  Dave then tells them that is all he has, the rest of it is up to them and their guts.  Deacon stands up and tells them it is time to get some sleep, as they have an early morning coming. 

All agree and head off to their separate rooms to get some sleep.

On the way down the elevator Dave asks Deacon, “Have you had to shoot any of these damn things?”   

Deacon proceeds to tell him about what had happened at the beer plant, at Greg and Lana's and also at Jaimie's. 

He then informs Dave, “In order to put them on the ground you have to shoot them in the head.  Otherwise they just keep coming.” 

Then Deacon finishes by stating that he had to learn this the hard way.  Dave tells him he will keep that in mind.  Arriving at the main floor, Dave goes to the panel turning the key, shutting down the power.  He checks the front door making sure it is locked.  He tells Deacon that he will see him in the morning. 

The emergency lights guide the way for Deacon as he takes the stairs to the basement.  He opens the door to his room, goes in and lays down on his makeshift bed.  As he lays there, thoughts of tomorrow’s mission flood his mind.  Interrupting his thoughts, he hears a knock at his door. 

“Come in,” he announces 

As the door opens he hears a voice, “Deacon, it’s me Jaimie.” 

She steps just inside the door. All he can see is her silhouette from the emergency lights in the hallway.  She asks him if he has a minute.
