A Hunters Paridice ch 5

                               Ch 5 A job for a handyman

          Milly slowly walked down the short set of stairs. There was a door on the right at the bodem of the steps slightly cracked open. Milly pushed it open caushisly. she entered a short hall wall that led to another door at the end. as she opened that one the air got hummid and hot. she entered a large room with industrial boilers in it. There were four in all with a cat walk going between them down the length of the room. Milly walked up the steps to the cat walk and saw bodys lay strune across it. The men we in oil stained jumpsuits and many looked as if they we knocked aside. Milly was not sure if they were full dead or not so she moved closer to the one nearest her. The man was slouched down agenst the left railing with his head down. As she moved closer she noticed a lot of blood had come from his face. Milly slowlly pulled his head back by his hair. Milly felt a hole in the back of his head. The man had been shot three times. One in the shoulder, one in the chest, and one in the head.

          "No dought this one is gone for sure." Milly thought leting the mans head drop. Milly looked down the cat walk and counted at least five dead infected, no including the first. "The sergent mom mentioned must have run into trouble."

          Milly proceeded down the cat walk steping over the remaining bodys. The end of the catwalk was another metal door that said 'maitinance'. She opened it slowly and it was pitch black on the other side. Millys eyes suddenly felt wierd. They felt as if the were moving in place. Slowly the area in front of her became clearer and clearer but there was no color. Every thing was a yellowy orangeish. Milly looked around for a moment marvaling at all that she could see letting the door close behind her. She was in a T intersection.

          "This is so cool I have night vision!" Milly said allowed looking at every crack or line in the brick walls and concreat floor. "Ok ok Mil stop fucking around." Milly chastised herself and read the sighs on the wall. To the left was 'power' and to the right was 'supply'. "Ok power, I go left then." Milly thought turning. When she tuned she was geated by another hallway filled with dead bodys laying in heaps.

          "Wow this cop gets around prity good." Milly thought as she steped over the bodys. "I think I'm going to like this guy. Can't wait to meet him." She thought as she came to a set of large double doors. Milly could hear machinery humming behind them. Milly summised it must be the generator. when she opened the doors a massive, painful white light blinded her. She stummbled forward for a moment holding her eyes.

          "OOOWWWW what the hell!" Milly said as she blinked the pain away.

          Finally the pain stoped and she could see again. The room was well lit by several buzzing long bulbs used in office buildings.

          "Note to self, watch out for bright lights, they hurt now." Milly said to herself as she rubbing her left eye with her palm.

          Milly stood in a good sized room with two generaters on ether side of her. One was humming away while the one on her right was oddly still. Milly looked around for a moment until she saw a arm behind the still generater. Millys heart sank. "Please don't let that be him." Milly thought as she moved around the generator ot get a beter look. The arm led to a body under a body under another body. A small pile of corpsice layed in front of one man who was sitting agenst the wall under the fuse box. The mans stomick was tore open and blood drencked wvery thing. In the mans hands were a monky rench in his right hand and a screw driver in his left both as blood as he was. Milly covered he mouth but still looked for any sight of him being the cop. A badge, A gun, somthing but the man just wore a simple jumpsuit. This was not the sergent.

         "Poor guy." Milly thought.

         The fuse box was open and it looked like the man was trying to fix it when he was attacked. To Milly all that looked wrong was five fuses were missing.

         "Ok if he is not here then must have thought to get more fuses." Milly pondered resting he hand on the generater. "Witch of coures is in supply....witch I could have gone to in the first place and not waisted so much time." Milly said bowing her head. Milly saw her legs in the reflective metal of the generator and looked at herself. She cringed and could not look for long.

         "And chances are he'd shot me first than talk to me." Milly said. Milly rubber her head witch hurt alittle again. "No I can't give up there has to be a way." Milly looked around and spyed a denome coat handing on the side of the working generator. The coat had white fur inline that looked like small fethers but felt like cotton. She put it on and felt some thing it its pockets. Milly reached in and pulled out a pair of tan work gloves, a blue beany, a red scarf, a black face mask and some neat black sunglasses.

         "Who would ware all this?" Milly thought as she put the asortment on. "Well they must have hated the cool thats of sure." Once she had every thing on she looked at herself in the mirrored surfese of the grnerator. All of her skin was covered up and all that was visible was her red hair sticking out the back of her beany, that went down to her lower back. "Not bad but it will have to do for now." Milly said as she snaped the last button on the coat shut. Milly looked at the gloves and could see her claws could punch right through if she was not carful.

         "Can't use my claws with these or I'll blow my cover." She thought. "I need to find a weapon. She disided to take the dead mans monkey rench, he was not using it any more. Milly swong the rench and was satisfyed withits waight. Finally ready she mde her way to the door on her way to the supply room.

         Milly walked back down the hall heading for the supply office. She steped lightly as her eyes agusted to the sunglasses then the lack of light. As she passed the T intersection again she followed the path that was to go to supply. The hall turned left and came to another door. A low grwn came from the beyond the door. and Milly griped the rench. Milly shook her head and walked up to the door. The handle turned but it would not budge. Milly tryed again with a little more force and came another moan. frustrated Milly planted her feet and rammed her shoulder in to the door. It gave way and Milly fell on the other side. Quickly jumping to her feet Milly saw she was in another hall way that turned to the left. Milly looked behind her to see a infected was wedged between the door and the wall. The man had been lening up agenst the door when Milly rammed it and now he was slowly working his mangled body from out behind the door. Milly swallowed.

         "Well it was going to come to this sooner or later." Milly thought shakly as the man crawled towards her. "Remember He's already dead, he's already dead." Milly thought as she razed the rench, closed her eyes and brought it down on him. It took a few wacks but finaly he stoped moving. Milly opened her eyes to see the deed was done. She tuned away and tryed to stop shaking. Taking in a hot breath and feeling strangly...good Milly refoucused her mind and begain walking again. When she turned the corrner she ran into more infected laying on the ground, some still kick and some not. Most were hospital staff this time. As Milly steped over them some looked at her then went back to 'sleep' as it were. Milly quickly made it to another bend and peeked around that one. Around the corrner were at least 12 infecterd banging of scraching on a metal grating window that was baricaded with a metal shudder or a large metal door with a sigh above it labled 'supply'. THe door was bent and the metel grating on the window was blood from the infected pulling on it, ripping their fingers. Under all the stink of the hoarde Milly smelled clean flesh beyond the supply door.

         "Awwww crap!" Milly said as she leaned back agenst the wall. "What am I suppost to do now? If I push past them then the people in the office won't let me in. I don't know if I'll be able to kill all of thouse things eather. If I do will the people in side beleave I'm human? Oooohh man this sucks!" Milly felt a sudden burst of adrenilin from fear. "I have to do it, its the only way!" said a little voice in the back of Milly head. Milly gripper the rench tightly and the coat strained under her arms as the felxed.

         "Damn it! why, why do I have to kill people like this." Milly said with a growing head acke. "Because I need to get mom out of here, to safty at any cast." Milly disided and the pain in her head disipered once again. Milly rounded the corner and walked to the hoade. "Their already dead, their already dead, their already dead!" Milly said out loud as she bashed the head in of the first infected bringing down the rench like the hammer of Thor. The zombies did not notice her at first and moved around like robots at a theme park, but several took notice of Milly killing another infected. Every time a zombie got interested in Milly she punched, kicked, shooved, swong, or stomped them down. Milly felt something in her heart every time she killed one. It was as if it made her stronger every time.

          It felt like power.

          Milly felt a smile creep accross he lips as she overpower another infected. Finally the remainder of the hoard came at her. The last three zombies squared off agenst her. Milly panted and felt exsation creep up on her. The two doctors and remaining nurce moved aroung her like wolfs. The doctor in front of her charged and Milly steped to meet him but her right leg was caught and she fell to her knees. She looked back to see a infected she thought she had kill had grabed her. The doctor was shill coming. Milly swong the rench and caught his right knee making him fall. Milly quickly smashed his head as it hit the ground. Milly was about to free herself when the other two infected slamed into her left side. They fliped Milly onto her back with the female nurce using her legs to knee Millys stumick holding her down. The doctor rased his hands about to beat Milly senslise when his the side of his head exploded with a bang and fell down next to Milly. The nurce looked to this new threat and her left eye disipered out the back of her head and she fell on top of Milly. Milly quickly pushed her off and use the rench on the infected nawing on her shoe. Milly stood brushing her self off and turned to thank her savior but was met with a M9 Beretta in her face. Holding it one handed stood a man in an officers uniform. His name tag said "Sgt Doublen".

          "Wow Desha voo." Milly thaought.

          The man cacked the hammer of the gun and said. "How thw hell does one person kill 12 crased fuck jobs with nothing but a monky rench? Who the Fuck are you?"
