Level up Zombie

When seeing the doctor, both Cody and Dave froze for a second. They thought they might run into people going up the staircase, but the last person they expected to see was the doctor himself. This was the main person they were aiming for, hoping to capture. Shouldn't there have been several guards, or perhaps a big creature protecting him towards the end?

Either way, both of them were too slow to act, as the doctor had immediately gone down to his waist to pull out the hand gun he had on him.

"Cody!" Dave shouted as he closed his eyes and started to fire away. There was no aiming from Dave, and all the training that he had before had gone out the window, as he fired in panic.

The doctor seeing this moved to the side of the door, and was hiding just behind the staircase that would lead them up to the roof.

"Wait!" Cody shouted. "We can shoot him, but we need him alive. We don't know where the others are?"

"Your right, sorry, I just kind of panicked, when I saw him reach for his-"

Before Dave could finish his sentence, several shots were fired back. Each of them missing, but causing the two of them to head back down the stairs as quickly as they could. Thankfully, the doctor didn't seem to be so much of a shot either, and was blind firing.

The doctor had only held out his hand and was firing, around the corner without looking at what he was trying to hit.

"You fools! You think firing at me, will help protect your friends!" The doctor shouted. "Well screw you all, screw you. When I get back up, I'm going to put a bullet through every single one of their heads, all because of you. You ruined my life, so I will make sure to ruin yours!"

The doctor continued to fire, and Dave was ready to fire back, until Cody put up his hand telling him to wait.

"I have an idea, when he stops firing, he has to reload at some point, if you can just fire away from me, make sure not to hit me, I can probably run up the stairs and get to him in time," Cody explained.

Dave looked at the staircase, they were quite steep, and since the doctor had the high ground it was a lot easier for him to hit them, then the other way round.

"You could die," Dave said.

"Remember what I said before. You said it yourself, you wanted to act like Zain right, well think about it, think what would he do?" Cody asked.

The bullets continued to fire down, and soon they both could hear a clicking noise, the doctor was out of bullets. It was now or never. Cody bolted out from the corner, and started to climb the stairs two at a time, getting up as fast as he could.

Dave counted in his head, one two, then pulled out the gun, this time looking at where he was shooting. Due to Cody running up the right side of the staircase it was very easy for Dave to just miss him.

"Please don't hit anyone!" Dave prayed as he started to fire.

The doctor, too scared of the bullets, wasn't going to just run out and head to the door, depending on where the person was shooting from, it was possible that they would have an angle of him, but what else could he do?

"Damn it, I'm just going to have to try!" The doctor stated as he ran toward the door.

As he did, he took a peak behind him, and that's when he could see that Cody was running up the stairs.

'Crap, he went for the door, it will be fine, as long as I can shoot him first!' Cody thought. Aiming carefully as he lifted the gun up.

However, running up and trying to get a good aim, Cody's footing was misplaced, he had missed the staircase slightly as his foot slipped.

'Crap, at a time like this!'

The doctor had a smile on his face, and instead of continuing toward the door, he aimed carefully, ready to pull the bullet.

*BANG

Another bullet was heard, and the doctor immediately dropped his hand gun, due to the pain, because he had been hit, and it was right in the shoulder of his arm as well. Looking at the staircase, not too far behind Cody, was Dave, holding the gun with both of his hands firmly, and his eyes open.

"Shit!" The doctor said as he opened the door and closed it behind him, heading back into the hallway where he had come from.

"Hey, are you okay?" Dave asked.

"Yeah, thank you…I think you might have just saved my life." Cody stated.

"It's nothing." Dave rubbed the back of his head. "Like I said, I got your back, and I needed to do something."

Cody now felt horrible about his words before, but it was a lesson for him. To not always see everyone around him as useless, maybe this was a trait that he tried getting from Zain, but at the end of the day, in his own words he was not Zain.

There were those that needed people to help them, and those that could do everything on their own.

"Come on, let's go get that doctor."

——

Going back through the door, the guards in the hallway were able to see the doctor holding onto his arm, and with his white clothing now a little red, it was also obvious that he was bleeding.

"Sir, what happened, is everything okay!" The man asked.

The doctor walked quickly to the patent room, where both Brandon, and Kelly were.

"Does it look like I was okay? Two damned kids, with guns are in the hallway and they shot at me!" The Doctor shouted. "Get rid of them immediately!"

The doctor was so angry, his head was beaming red and the veins on his neck looked like they were going to burst as he shouted. Huffing and panting he was losing his breath as well, and when things looked like they couldn't get worse for the doctor, from the other side of the hallway doors could be heard opening.

'That hallway, it's the one that links to the main hall, which means…'

The doctor guess was right, because the next second, bursting through the other doors on the other side, where three people in particular. Immediately, the red haired student with two hand guns fired at the first two men.

Hitting one of them in the head, and the other in the chest sending them to the ground. On top of that, Kun had rolled in, holding his semi automatic weapon, and with no hesitation just like Zain was firing away at the people in the room.

Immediately, the rest turned to those on the other side, and started to shoot in a panic. While all the noise was going off, the doctor took a glance behind him to see that the other two had caught up, and had entered through the door.

It was clear now that the doctor was trapped. There was no way out for him, out of this entire situation, and it looked like the doctor was going to lose this one.

"Where is my mother!" Pink shouted, as she charged forward ignoring most of the raining bullets, both Zain and Kun were doing their best to cover her.

A few bullets had hit Kun and Zain, but not in the head, which was fine for them. On top of that, it would only take a few more seconds, before all of them were eliminated. Opening the door, the doctor had no choice but to head back inside away from the chaos.

"What's the matter doc?" Brandon asked. "You don't look to well. You really should have taken up my offer when you had the chance." Brandon smirked.

All of the shooting outside, it was lessening, as there were less guns being used, and it was clear the doctor had been hit.

"You still think this is over. I'll tell you now, no matter what that information will die with me, and there is a good chance that everyone at your base will die as well. I will die a happy man thinking of that." The doc said as he headed to a small room linked to the patient room.

A few seconds later, coming out he pulled out a syringe that was green in colour. It didn't look like anything they had seen before.

"If I'm going to die anyway, then I might as well go through with my final experiment. You see, I didn't want to resort to this without testing it on some other subjects other than humans first, but it would be a shame for all my research to go to waste.

"So the question is, which one of you two, will be a part of my final experiment!"
