[QUOTE="talien, post: 4821566, member: 3285"] [b]Dead Letter: Part 10 – The Running Man[/b] The main entrance to the mansion proper was a covered car port. The driveway ran directly from the inner gate under the car port and around the front, ending in a turnaround outside the garage. Employee cars lined the driveway. Broad, shallow stairs led from the car port up to ten-foot wide oak doors. Bloody footprints led to the doors. The terrible stench of rotting flesh lingered. “This isn’t right,” said Hammer. “The alarm may have been triggered just now,” said Archive. “But whatever happened here has been going on for awhile.” A man thumped softly on the mansion’s front door, smearing gore from his now-damaged hand. Only when he turned was his face visible; a bloody, eyeless, ruin. “Zombies,” said Jim-Bean with a frown. Hammer took careful aim and pumped several bullets into faceless thing. It jerked. With a moan, it whirled and began dashing toward them. “Fast zombies,” said Hammer. “Great.” They all opened up on it. The zombie pitched forward, its legs torn out from beneath it as gunfire perforated its knees. It fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and finally lay still. “Fast zombies, dogs…” Guppy blinked. “This is just like Resident Evil!” “You play too many video games,” said Jim-Bean. “So that begs the question.” Archive cut Guppy off. “If Sapphire has been leaking for some time, and someone just set off the alarm, who set it off?” “Maybe there’s someone still alive inside,” said Hammer. “Or maybe someone started the leak on purpose.” They took up position on either side of the door and kicked it open. Inside, the lobby of the mansion was a fifteen-foot Egyptian statue of Set. Security desks flanked the statue, and folding wooden doors led into the dining hall. Two security guards sat at the desks in the lobby. Both were male, one African-American and one Caucasian. The African-American guard was disemboweled. The front of his uniform was a bloody mess. The Caucasian guard’s throat had been torn out and his lower jaw torn off. Something bit out his tongue. The shoulders and the front of his shirt were soaked in blood. They immediately hopped up and over the desks. Again gunfire tore into them. This time they cleared the distance to reach Hammer. Fiona dropped one of the zombies with a well-placed shot to the head from her revolver. Hammer cut down the other. “Check them for ammo,” said Hammer. “We’re going to need every bullet.” Archive fingered the leather phylactery that hung around his neck. “Don’t worry,” he told Hammer. “I’ve got the heavy ammunition when we need it.” [/QUOTE]
