Chpt.2 - this went downhill fast...

Private radio announcement - "ALL roof top teams, repeat ALL roof top team, ALL targets at ground level are hostile, it is a free fire zone gentlemen, do you copy?" at that moment my heart froze as i turned to kyle, we both said "we need to get outta here!" as i lifted the radio to my face two jets flew over as if to size up their targets, i the said into the radio "copy that PRA" and threw the radio into the mass of bodies below me, moving and convulsing as if it was one organic item.

WE both ran down the stairs to try and get whatever we could from the armoury, as i flung the large metal door open all we could see was the white walls of the room, it had been stripped of everything, not even a single round left, it was empty. My heart sank a second time, we had no way out. There was to many of them down there to get out the front door and the roof was covered in barbed wire to insure no trespassing. The only thing we could do is sit here and await are death, neither kyle or I fired at them as we knew there was no point we would run out of ammunition and we'd still die.

I slid the ring of my left paw and held it in my hand tightly, but i did not cry I simply knew what was going to happen. I slowly felt something build up inside me, it was i kind of anger i had never felt before i was ready to kill as many as i could before they came for me, but then something happened, something i didn't expect, there was silence, we froze. I peeked my head up over the wall and they were all standing there all facing into the centre of the crowd, it was my radio.

As my ears tuned into its sound I heard "sniper team alpha, come in sniper team alpha, a pickup of any remaining military personnel is being conducted at all outposts if there is anyone left alive please respond!"

Kyle and i looked throughout the whole building for a radio, but there was nothing the place was cleared out, we had to get that radio, but how...then suddenly we had an idea, one of us will have to get it, after many a coin toss it was me, so I loaded my assault rifle and walked to the bottom floor between us we had six grenades, Kyle loaded his rifle and warmed his throwing arm i was at the huge metallic front door. I heard each grenade go off one after another, then when i heard the sixth one go off i kicked the door open and began to run firing from the moment i left the building. i could see the green glow of the radios L.E.D.

The closer i got the more ammunition to use, I was no more than a metre away from the radio when i had to reload, as input the empty magazine away the full one slipped out of my hand, I turned to my right as one of the infected try to grab me, I put my hand out to push it away when I heard a roaring zip like noise as the creature fell to the ground I grabbed the radio an give kyle a wave down, and he began scaling down the building as I answered the radio "roger hunter two actual, this is sniper team alpha, we require immediate evaq, get us the hell outta here!!!"

Kyle met me in the middle of the square his back slammed against mine and we began to fire, taking carefully timed shots we kept the infected at range, as our ammo was running short we heard the riving of an engine and the deafening sound of heavy metal, at which point the infected stopped dead and turned around, kyle and i had the exact same expression as we saw the huge armoured truck struggled to turn the tight corner , It pulled up right in front of us covered in blood with a huge American flag on the back fluttering elegantly in the wind.

The back door flung open and an outstretched paw greeted me as the young husky it belonged to shouted "get in the fucking truck NOW!!!"
