Steve searched for his car keys, as they heard gunshots. They hurried back to help Jay, but he was already lying on the stairs, bathing his blood.
“Jay!” Joseph cried in surprise.
“You have to go now!” Jay replied in a dying voice.
“No! We’ll get you out of here!” Steve answered.
“We don’t have time. I can’t make it. Please take care of my wife. They’re coming again. Please go!” Jay responded was weak, and he slowly closed his eyes.
“We need to move.” Steve pulled Joseph.
“Janette?” Steve spoke through the walkie-talkies.
“Steve!” Nurse Janette responded.
“We’ve got the keys. We’ll meet you at the front door.” Steve said gasping.
Steve and Joseph went running, but other three more survivors followed after them. They were approaching near the front door, but they saw the criminals.
“Son of a bitch! The criminals!” Joseph shouted, then they hide at the front desk.
“Did they see us?” Steve asked.
“No idea,” Joseph replied. There were gunshots between the other survivors and the criminals, as they set the front door on fire.
“Fire! Hospital is on fire!” One of the survivors shouted, and they went back to the hospital.
Nurse Janette and others were ready to go out of the cafeteria when they heard from walkie-talkie again.
“Janette! Are you there?”
“Steve! We’re about to leave.” Walter get the walkie-talkie from Nurse Janette.
“Abort mission. The front door is on fire!” Steve answered.
“What?” Where do we go?” Walter was frustrated.
“Go back door! We’ll meet you there.” Steve replied.
The fire quickly spread in the hospital while Joseph, Steve, and their friends run for their lives. The criminals went into the hospital to search for them. As Walter and his group ran the hallway, the intruders were already there. They fired gunshots, and Mrs. Daniels got hit two times on the back. Walter wanted to return, but his wife stopped her as they will all die if he does so. They continued running on the other side of the hallway.
At the corner, an intruder grabbed Nurse August and cut his throat. Leanna White, on the other hand, tried to follow the group, but the fire was already approaching her. She didn’t have the strength to push, so she closed her eyes and waited to burn her body alive.
It was just Walter, Victoria, Nurse Janette and Denise. They were able to misdirect the criminals, but Denise had difficulty breathing because of the fire smoke. The fire scattered the hospital, and the intruders were still chasing their group.
“I can see the back door!” Walter yelled to his group. All of a sudden another gunshot came behind them.
“Walter!” Walter looked at Victoria who had a bleeding thigh. He immediately wrapped a handkerchief on Victoria’s legs to put in some pressure.
“Carry the kid! Continue running!” Walter said to Nurse Janette and Denise, then handed her the walkie-talkie.
“Contact Steve and Joseph. We’ll follow.” Walter added.
Walter hid in the corner of the hallway because the intruders are coming.
“We need to move. I’ll carry you.” Walter said to Victoria.
“You’ll slow down. You have to go.” Victoria cried.
“No! I am not going anywhere without you! We’ll get the hell out of here, and Joseph can operate you!” Walter was frustrated, but there was an explosion in the area, and the fire was critical. The criminals changed their route.
“Please. Don’t give up. Come on, get on my back.” Walter pleaded with his wife.
Nurse Janette and Denise reached the back door exit. She pressed the walkie-talkie the moment they stepped out of the hospital.
“Steve?”
“Janette! Are you all at the back door? We’re going around to get the car. We’ll fetch you there.”
“It’s just Denise and I. The group got separated because of the fire and the criminals.” Janette cried as she remembered what happened.
“Please don’t cry, everything will be alright.” Steve tried to calm her. Suddenly, an intruder pointed a gun at Nurse Janette back head.
Janette turned around and saw a hairless man with tattoos on his shoulders. He put his index finger on his lips to silence Nurse Janette. Tears fell on her eyes.
“Janette? Are you still there?” Steve said on the other line.
“I love you,” Janette muttered and turned off the walkie-talkie. Nurse Janette hid Denise behind her.
“Hi beautiful, going anywhere?” The intruder smirked at Nurse Janette.
“Please. Let us go.” Denise begged, but the intruder just laughed.
“Not after what your friends did with my troop.” The intruder said and aimed the gun at Nurse Janette. She kicked the intruder’s groin and tried to ran, but there was another gunshot. Nurse Janette fell on the ground as blood flowed on the ground. Denise shouted and cried aloud.
“You’re next little girl.” The intruder pointed the gun at Denise. Then there were other gunshots.
Walter carried Victoria and ran to the back door exit with all his strength. He was exhausted and panting. Then he saw a man standing in front of the door, pointing a gun at someone he can’t see. He immediately fired gunshots while running as fast as he could. Walter and Victoria was shocked to see Nurse Janette on the ground full of blood on her hip, while Denise was crying.
“Hush. Come on, Denise. We have to keep moving.” Walter said to the young girl. However, Denise wasn’t moving, won’t stop crying and there were more intruders running behind them. Walter grabbed the walkie-talkie and carried Denise as he carried Victoria on his back. They ran in the opposite direction and head towards the nearby parking area.
Joseph and Steve exchanged fire shots with the intruders in front of the front entrance. Fortunately, they were able to beat them down, but they’re almost out of ammo.
“Steve! Joseph! Where are you? We have to get out of here. The other part of the building will explode soon.” Walter said through the walkie-talkie.
“We’re at the north parking. Be ready anytime. Who’s with you?” Joseph said.
“It’s just Victoria and Denise. Janette’s dead.” Walter said with a heavy heart. Steve heard the news that almost made him stop walking.
“She’s dead?” Steve muttered.
“We gotta keep moving, Steve.” Steve was about to lose his senses, but there were other gunshots. They hid behind the posts.
“Joseph, take the keys,” Steve stated.
“What? No, we’ll get to the car.” Joseph replied.
“We won’t be able to make it if we take these men down. Our friends need the car.” Steve replied.
“Give me your gun. We need a diversion.” He added.
“Steve…”
“Come on, brother. People are still waiting. I’ve got no family left, and Janette… is dead. You have yours to protect. Please say hi to Max and your two boys.” Steve wiped his tears, smiled and ran out of the post as he fired shots.
Joseph ran to Steve’s Black Cruiser, started the engine and stepped on the gas. He drove as fast as he could, but Steve was already lying on the ground. Joseph shouted angrily inside the car as he hit the intruders through the bumpers and turned the car around the hospital to pick the others.
The east portion of the building was slowly exploding with fire, so the criminals thought that all survivors are dead. To their surprise, a car went out of the fire and Walter was taking shots. Some of them jump off the road, while others died. Joseph drove at full speed towards to their subdivision. All of them were full of blood, dust, sweat, and tears. Their heart filled with mourning, anger, and pain with good friends that they’ve lost. However, they knew that they have to keep on moving to live and survive.
