Chapter 67 - Maine street - Part 8

When Raoul got into the interior of the Hospital, he helps the man to block the windows by using huge cabinets and tables on the two windows, even though he used only one window. But it's better to be sure to block any window in any case a zombie will enter and cause chaos.

As they finished the blockage, the man takes his pistol and he aim at Raoul, which he immediately rises his hands up like a normal person who is hold at a gunpoint, or because it is not the first person who is aiming a gun at Raoul. After all he was a journalist, and these jobs are getting dangerous every day.

"Who are you?" asks the man pointing his pistol at Raoul.

"My name is Raoul, sir! I have come here to see if my relatives are fine." Says Raoul in a calm tone.

"Who are your relatives? What's their family name?"

"Gresham."

"Gresham?" says the man curios. "There is somebody on the floor 4 with that name."

"Alright. Can you please let me go there? I want to take them out of there."

"I am afraid we cannot do that." responds the man lowering his weapon. "That floor is filled with zombies, and it is way too dangerous to even try and open the doors. They might be infected already, or worse."

"I have to try." says Raoul, and he takes his knife out, and he looks serious at it for a moment, then he looks at the man, who is feeling confused. "Let me go there. Please."

The man, only nod his head and Raoul, thanked him, then he leaves the room, where the man continues to stay, and be sure the zombies will be not breaching through the barricade he made earlier.

Raoul walks to the reception. He got there, and he sees a few corpses who were once healthy, ill humans and visitors, who were doing their way. There is a corpse which resembled a guard, who is now disfigured and next to him are three zombies, who got killed probably a few moments ago. Raoul crouches and inspect the body of the guard to see if he can find something useful there that it will help him to get to the fourth floor.

It took him two minutes to find a nightstick, those type of weapons who are sued to beat the intruders or the ones who are not behaving like normal people, now, it is a weapon who can be useful to put a zombie down in case the knife will be stuck on a zombie head or any body parts. He also founds a pistol, but it is tied there, and luckily, the rope that typed the pistol to the guard belt, was easily broke, thanks to the knife Raoul got. He takes the pistol, opens the clips and checks the bullets.

"Nine bullets," he said to himself. "I better be careful at how I am aiming."

As he witnessed on the highway, he saw cops, killing the zombies or mutants by shooting into their head. He puts the clip back and goes to the door which is leading to the stairs who will be guiding him to the next floors. His only goal is to go on the fourth floor.

***

Raoul walks upstairs. As he takes the stairs to the floor he desired to be, he came face to face with a zombie, who is burned, and it can still walk. Raoul takes the knife, and when the zombie got at a close distance, he stabbed his head, and when he feels he "died", he pushes him to the stairs, takes the knife and continues to move forward.

As he got to the first floor, he sees the doors locked to that floor. He looks at the windows of the doors, and he sees only blood on them, making it hard to see what is going on the other side, plus, it is also having nine piles of bodies at the door. Raoul was looking at those bodies with anxiety, but he breathe a sigh of relief because those bodies doesn't resemble his parents or any member of his family. He continues moving forward.

He got at the halfway to the first floor, there he sees three zombies' bodies, who were killed by stabbing, and Raoul knows that because he saw at a bald corpse multiple stabs of a sharp knife on the head. Raoul ignores those bodies and moves forward.

On the second floor he sees the door being unlocked, and there, he sees only bodies on the halls, and furniture who were thrown there either as a wall, or as a way to crush the undead creatures from eating human meat. He moves forward without stopping, until he reaches the fourth floor.

Raoul arrives at the fourth floor, and there, he sees the doors unlocked, and a few bodies on the floor, blood everywhere and beds who were used as a barricade, and other beds who crushed zombie bodies. Raoul walks forward to the hallway until he got at the door where his brother sends him a message his parent it's put to be resting.

He takes the handle of the door, he takes a deep breath, and he opens the door. As he opened the door, is looking shocked there. His dark nightmares have been gone real. All he sees there are two bodies who resemble his parents who were eaten by a zombie creature. Their bodies are on the floor, and on the bed, is nobody there. Raoul is looking all over this room, and he doesn't see his brother there.

"No…" he says as he looks at the body of his mother who is a zombie, and she start groaning like a zombie he encountered so far. "No. Not you."

Raoul is holding the knife he used to kill that zombie, his arm is shaking uncontrollably. He looks at the body of his mother who is trying to get up and attacks his son. Raoul closes his eyes, he yells, and he stabbed his mother multiple times while he screamed to disguise the stabbing sounds. He was crying while he stabbed the poor moving corpse who was a woman once and give birth to him, each him how to speak, how to be friendly, how to clean the dishes, how to love and how to show respect.

The body of Raoul's mother falls on the floor, and with it, falls the knife, dipped in the blood of the zombie. Raoul is looking at the body of his mother, he cries uncontrollably, and he screams while he beds from his anger. He does this for at least one minute, until he stops, and he says with a sob, not knowing what to say.

"Sorry, dear mother… I was not… I was not here. I was not here to help you."

He then turns around as he hears someone opening the door, he aims the gun at the thing there, and when he sees the thing there, he feels quite relieved. The person there it is his brother, holding a cane, all with blood and his clothes, all soaked in blood.

"Brother…?" asks Raoul.

Then, the brother of Raoul, not saying anything, he goes at his brother, he hugs him. Raoul, hugs his brother back and both of them are crying for a few moments, for their dead parents and for this reunion. For a moment, they thought they will never be seeing each other.

A few moments later, they leave the floor, and they head to the rooftops, where the other survivors of this Hospital are and waiting for the helicopters it will take them from there.
