Turning Mason, the driver, smiles to show how unconcerned he is, "Civillian issue shit, I wouldn't worry little lady, happens all the time" he finishes with a wink.

"Mason keep your damn eyes on the road." the female medic shakes her head at Mason's cavalier driving, "They won't evacuate without the shit we're carrying, Anyway that chopper shows that we still have some control"

As he turns to face forward again Mason nods at Juan's comment, "On our way son...What the..."

As he swerves betwwen two abandoned cars the road ahead is filled with people running madly toward a makeshift barricade that has been thrown across the road. At the rear, like sheepdogs driving a herd of sheep, a large group of dead are literaly snapping at their heels. Some stop every so often to rip and tear at one of the fleeing survivors brought down in the panic.

Mason brings the ambulance to a halt far enough back so as not to draw attention from both the fleeing and the pursuing. "Shit will you look at those bastards" Standing atop the hastily created barricade several figures can be seen casually firing into the mass, uncaring as to their targets. As you watch a young girl is flung to the ground in a flury of gunfire, as she falls so she pulls her Mother to the floor with her, in moments they are both submerged beneath a feeding frenzy of the pursuing horde.

At that moment the ominous pinging of bullets ricocheting off the armoured sides of the ambulance announces that you have now become a target...

-We must leave quick, those idiots think we are monsters too! Just hurry!
I just hope the American army come quick, or they will only find dead people and monsters... and hope I won't be part of either.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" yells Mason as bullets begin to patter of the vehicle. He slams the engine into reverse and quickly acellerates back.

"Where the fuck are you going man?" shouts the female medic holding tight ot a leather strap to avoid falling, "You're simply heading back into the crowd behind us"

With a wild lurch of the ambulance Mason cuts right and heads down a ramp into a underground car park. He flicks on the lights, in their beam you can see that what cars remain seem abandoned with their doors flung wide as if the occupants had been in too much of a hurry to close them.

"Great you've now got us here with no way out except the way we came"

You can tell she is none to impressed with the Texan. Looking back to the entrance you can see several of the lurching, limping creatures moving into the car park and blocking the exit.

Mason reaches down and grabs his rifle and equipment, shouting over his shoulder, "Grab some gear, Story help with the box we can't leave that behind"
He pushes the ambulaces door open, "End of the ride little lady and you kid, We can't get out that way so we go up and hope for another exit"

OOC:   There are several of the military issue M4 assault rifles and several loaded magazines, There is also a couple of sets of military webbing, with various pouches containing medical supplies.

Stay calm, everything will be ok. Don't panick.
Nono grabs an M4, some ammo and a medic kit.
-So, what's the plan now? And what has that box of so important? The cure to this disease?
She will look for any exit.

Juan grabs a gun ans starts shoving clips in his pockets hastily. "Fuck the box, it's time to haul ass!" He said jumping out of the ambulance without a clue where he was going.

You quickly bail out of the ambulance, though a few seconds are lost as Story races to the passenger door to help Mason lift the aluminium storage container free of is securing straps.

In response to Nono's question, Story shrugs "Maybe, but unless the samples inside are delivered to the right people we won't know"

Juan's impatience is catching. What with that and the ever growing horde that has started to enter the car park, Nono is lucky to have spoted a door in the far left corner bearing a stair logo. She quickly points it out to the cursing Mason who along with the female medic, Story, is struggling beneath the weight of the box who, as quickly as they are able head, towards it.

Racing ahead, Juan pauses momentarilly to guage whether they or the dead people will get to the door first, he shakes his head.

Halfway from the ambulance to the doorway a figure staggers out from between two parked cars. His appearance is so sudden that no one has time to react.

Mason, one hand gripping the handle of the box, unleashes a terrified scream as the newcomer sinks his teeth into the Texan's shoulder.
"Jesus, Mase" screams Story trying to raise the assault rifle, left handed.

Within moments the single figure multiplies and as you watch helplessly the two medics are swamped by a mass of tearing and biting things. From within the mass a burst of automatic rifle fire ricochets uselessly off the concrete ceiling of the underground car park...

Nono runs with her gun ready to shoot at anything that gets near her. She try not to think of what she is doing, but it's too late to save the duo...

The door, marked 'Access to All Apartments', opens to a stairwell. Well lit by florescent tube lights the concrete stairs climb upward. Reaching the first of many landings, you find the door marked 'Basement level - Maintainance'. On the next landing the door is marked 'First Floor - Street Access - Entrance Lobby - Apartments 1 - 7'.

Juan is right behind Nono, and doesn't miss a beat running through the door reading 'street access.'

Nono is following to the street level and ready to shoot.

The first thing you hear as you push open the door to the street is the whine of hellicopter rotor blades, and from the doorway you watch the same hellicopter that had destroyed the building in front of you minutes ago, swoop low, guns firing in a whirr of noise, as a pick up truck attempts to take avoiding action.

Sadly the action is not enough to save the vehicle from disaster. Amongst geysers of dust and shrapnel it swerves dramaticaly to its left, rolls over several times then comes to a halt upside down.

As the dust clears you can see that a large group of shamblers are slowly moving towards it. Even though many had been pulverised by the Hellicopters minigun fire.

From the wreckage of the truck two figures can be seen pulling themselves through the side windows. From their dress one looks like a cop, the other, a female, some kind of nurse. As you watch the cop seems to shout something to the woman and jerk a thumb towards the buildings.

Nono shouts:
-Over here!

As the cop and the nurse begin to move towards you, he shouts,

"Listen kid, don't shoot, okay? I'm with the Sheriff's Department and Bernice here is a nurse, I'm sure we can help each other. Just let us in, okay?"

Behind them comes a horde of shamblers obviously drawn by the cops shout, which now the hellicopter has passed becomes startlingly loud in the relative silence.

From below the sound of the car park door crashing open announces the iminent arrival of the things from the car park.

- As soon as they enter, close the door, we can't stay much longer here.
She directs the gun from where they come, ready to shoot any of the dead.
