Chapter 5: Know Me No More

Callie patches herself up as she sits down on the couch. "Ay.. you okay girl? That must have been a rough hit." Louis asked her as she spat some blood out of her mouth. "Yeah. I'm fine. You'd be surprised at what you could know about me." Her hands pick up another med kit. As soon as she was stable enough, Bill opened up the door. "Okay, let's move." Everyone stayed close together, not wandering around. "So Callie huh? The name sounds a bit familiar.. isn't it for that news blog, 'Around the World: Hansen Style?'" Zoey questioned further and Callie nodded. "Mmhmm! That's the one. Traveling around to various locations, finding some beautiful gems of treasure."

"Huh.. I guess that's interesting." Francis picked up a pill bottle and they all went through a narrow part of the sideway. "Don't act like you don't think that's cool." Callie teased a little bit, in like a flirting but not really flirty way. Then they heard some crying. "I hear that witch again. Everyone turn your lights off." Callie shuts her flashlight off and looked around for the crying woman as they made their way through the back of a restaurant and come out the other hand. She opened up the door to see a sign for the Hersch packing company. Francis though was not amused to see it. "Ech.."

"Alright tough guy, what seems to be the big deal?" Callie smirked, nudging him. "This used to be a place of work. Till I socked a guy in the face." Zoey held back a laugh. "You holding down a job." "Ah hush. Look, get to the lift." Bill points to it but then sees the witch. "Ah shoot, the witch. What are we going to do to get rid of it?" Louis asked. Callie looked to the gas pumps and then said "Duck and Cover." Everyone listened and hid behind some crates. She threw down a pipebomb and sees zombies coming to it and she gets behind some crates. Then the pipebomb explodes, setting off the gas pumps too. The big boom exterminated the witch and left some rubble behind.

Everyone got up and walked around the damage and got onto the lift. Zoey pressed the button and they went up as the horde was called. "That's right! Come to momma!" Callie cocked her shotgun and began running across the metal awning. Louis shot a hunter that was coming for him. They all headed down a hole and began fighting several zombies. Bill takes a Molotov from one of the adjacent rooms and threw it to where the zombies are climbing up.

A smoker latches onto Zoey and pulls her away where she is hanging off the ledge. Callie shoots it and helped her up. "Hey, easy, I got you. Let's get you back up and fighting again." Soon, the hoard stopped coming and gave them a bit to heal up. Callie used her med pack on Zoey. "Careful now, or I might mess this up." She used her mother's skills and got her all fixed up. "Wow. This looks really impressive. Are you a medical student or something?" "No, but my mom was a nurse. I kinda rubbed off from her. Zombies have nothing on a broken bottle."

After making it through the warehouse and down some stairs, Bill opened up a man hole that led to the sewers. "Looks like we're going through the sewer." Everyone dropped down and tried not to let the smell get to them. Callie shot more of the infected, picking up another pipe bomb, socking a hunter that was about to get her. She pushed it back and shot it. They got into a room where there was more ammo and different guns. They all switched their weapons out. "Groovy." Francis spoke as he picked up an auto shotgun. Louis snickered a little bit as Callie switched her other shotgun with the auto one. "What's so funny? It is groovy." She asked him before moving through the small tunnel.

Zoey sees the ladder. "The hospital should be right above us." They all climbed up and then heard a tank growl, running to them. "Oh you have got to be shitting me!!" Callie cocked her gun as they began trying to take down the buff zombie. It punched a dumpster at her and pinned her down. "Ah son of a bitch! I'm down!" The other four did their best to take it down and soon enough, the fight was done. Francis, Louis and Zoey got ready to lift up the dumpster. "Ok on three. One.. two. Three!" Louis called and the three lifted it up so Callie can crawl away from it before they set it down. Bill helped her up. "You ok?" "Yeah, I can shake it off." She spoke while being helped up. "Up we go!" Callie takes some pills and downs them before the five got into the hospital, shutting the safe room door.

"You all did great out there." Callie panted softly. They made it through.. for now.
