“HEAD SHOTS" #zombie

It is a chaotic scene of not only military, but local law enforcement and first responders.  It is clear that they were not prepared for they are encountering.  They drive through the complex of buildings, not deviating from their new mission of retrieving and securing the Colonel.  They make their way to the command center and stop at the front steps.   Jayce orders Harris to stay with the Stryker while they go for the Colonel.  It is a horrid scene with bodies littering the steps and walkway leading to the entrance.  They make their way through the spilt blood staining the steps, only to find that the glass around the command center to be shattered.  Harris watches the team through the windshield. It appears as if they are one machine.

            Granger signals to the unit to stay quiet.  With guns drawn, they make their way into the building. They hear and feel the shattered glass crunch beneath their feet.  Cole is the last to make his way into the building, and catches a glimpse of something moving fast as it flanks them.  He fires several rounds into it with his rifle, tearing apart its torso.  It does not slow down, and Jessop turns firing several rounds.  One of the rounds strikes the combatant in the head, the unit watches as it falls lifeless. 

            “HEAD SHOTS, HEAD SHOTS!”  Cole calls out, directing the men. 

As they make their way through the command center, they pass body after body.  Both military personal, “mostly officers”, and the bodies of what they can only assume are the undead.  Several of the creatures are only maimed and begin to reach for the unit as they pass.  Ben and Ty are on point and take aim at these creatures’ heads.  The officers they pass seem to have bite marks covering their exposed flesh and pieces of flesh torn from their bodies, and lay in pools of their own blood.  Once in the center of the building, the corridor splits off in three directions. The left hall will take them to Colonel Wallace’s office.

            Through the dimly lit hallways, several combatants rush towards them covered in blood.  Several show signs of gunshots, however, the gaping wounds do not seem to be slowing them down.  The unit opens fire.  Cole and Jessop watch the rear for any possible threats approaching them from behind.  They make their way towards the Colonel office.  Jayce knocks on the door.  Ty backs ups towards Sergeant Wood’s desk to wait for the Colonel’s response.  He leans against the desk, lowers his rifle, and immediately feels something firmly grasp his ankle. He kicks his foot out as he spins around yielding his rifle.  The something that had a hold of him, begins to pull its self out from underneath the desk in pursuit.  Startled, Ty backs into the wall on the opposite side of the room, trying to determine what it was that had ahold on him.  The pop of the rifle echoes through the room as Cole fires his rifle, momentarily stunning the unit.
