"If you want to Charles. I certainly wouldn't make you do something against your better judgement," Miriam says kindly.

Suddenly, Charles sees himself through another pair of eyes - a cowardly, almost whimpering simpelton. Suddenly, he mentally shakes and steels himself. 'For God's sake, man! You were a solider! Buck up a bit', he thinks to himself. It is odd, he thinks, at how much his inner voice just took on the air of his old drill sergeant...
He steps out of the car and says, in a marginally stronger voice, "I...I think I will come after all, Miriam." He steps to her side and follows along. He does shoot one last glance back at the taxi, however....

"Phauggh!" William shouts as the dead hand closes on his arm. He attempts to worm his arm out of its grasp, using his other hand to help lever it out if necessary.

Outside the Ju-Ju House
8:00 PM
Miriam and Charles walk through the snow down the short alleyway. It is dark and the deep shadows seem to be filled with hidden dangers. Up ahead in the courtyard a flickering light can be seen and the voice of several men can be heard. As you advance closer you see three black men standing warming their hands around a barrel with a fire inside it. They don't seem to notice you as you still are standing in the deeper darkness of the alleyway.
Suddenly several muffled gun shots are heard and your attention is drawn to the Ju-Ju House entrance. The gun shots came from inside the shop. The men by the barrel are also startled by the gun shots and one of them says something in a foreign tongue. One of the men runs towards you and the alleyway. He does not appear to have noticed you yet. The other two run to the shop door.

Under the Ju-Ju House
Jack's gun fires and in the confined hallway it's report is deafening. William feels the first shoot wiz by his ear. The second strikes the zombie right in the shoulder leaving a ragged hole. Unfazed the zombie beings to pulls William back into the room. It grip is like iron and it's fingers dig deep into William's arm. (2 points of damage).
The door swings open and the other zombie begins to stumble towards you. It's ruined head dripping pus. Jibril quickly reaches in and grabs the door handle and slams it on the zombie’s arm that is holding William. The arm breaks under the impact but it's grip holds William tight.
Father O'Malley, sweet beading on his forehead even in the cold of the room, strains to pulls Lt. Poole down the corridor to the stairs. The sights of the horror filled room and wild melee at the other end fills the Father with determination as he begins to drag the unconscious man up the steep narrow stairs.

"RUN!" Jack yells, tugging at William and Jabril, not concerned about the arm clinging to William's arm at the moment... he just wants to get plenty of space between himself, his companions and what ever the hell that blasted thing is. Once up top, he looks for something heavy to slide over the trap door.

Charles places his hand on Miriam and slowly pushes her backwards, out of the way and hopefully against the wall. Charles motions for her to be silent, praying that she can see him in the darkness.
Charles glances around for *anything* that he might be able to use as a weapon. If he finds something, he will try and hit the man in the face with it has hard as he possibly can, using both his own strength and the man's momentum to maximum effectiveness. If possible, Charles aims for the very tip of the nose, as he knows that a hard strike there is very likely to cause immediate and intense pain, coupled with a blurring of the eyes due to the formation of tears. (Charles was hit in the nose several times as a youngster and can speak on this subject with some authority...).
If he is not able to find something, he will wait until the man passes and then kick him hard in the back (or side) of the knee, hopefully causing him to fall.
