Lily managed to escape from being crushed by the roof by standing under an opening and from it she split opened the part of the roof above her, surviving with small injuries. She looked beside her to see that Mark managed to survive too by shooting countless bullets upwards to slow the speed of the roof parts and break it. She looked the other side to see that Dan was hiding between the shelves with the dead bodies. She realised that one of them was trying to reach Dan. She jumped towards him cutting the body's hand and head. Soon Dan stood on the ground after that.

But where was Thomas?

Lily looked down herself to see an arm trying to move. She screamed for help and held the part of the roof above this hand to remove it. Soon, Mark and Dan came to help. 2 or 3 parts were removed and Thomas appeared. It seemed that he still couldn't move. They tried to pull him but saw that there was something or someone pulling him the other way...

It appeared that he was being pulled by a dead body, but the problem wasn't here. When removing it from Thomas, they realised that Thomas has become one of them!!!

Lily was the first one to know that, which led her to throw him back and leave crying. Thomas soon threw the last part of the roof on him and stood up. Most of his body was full in blood, and they didn't know why until they saw that the ground was totally red in blood. However, when Thomas stood, the three normal persons were able to see the killer of Thomas: Jack!!!

A shiver went through the bodies of the normal three friends when seeing this. They didn't know who to save. They decided to run and think later.

While running, they could see that the sky was totally in pale green; totally filled with pale green clouds; totally seeming empty. The sound of their legs stopped again, and they couldn't hear anything, except their own voices when they talked to each other. Mark fired some bullets towards the crowd behind them, but the bullets soon ended from him. Lily then looked towards the crowd and ran by her back, waving by the knife left and right, cutting parts of the dead bodies. They went to a hidden place between the roof parts and hid there to think by themselves.

"What are we gonna do now? Jack or Thomas?" asked Dan.

"I am saying that Jack is better, because if we killed Jack, we could find his killer by the hint he will give, so we will kill Thomas, then Jack, then Jack's killer. There is no better idea." Said Mark, and Lily seemed to agree, but she kept silent. She hated that her two only brothers are already dead, or half-dead, or whatever. She was in deep depression, and wanted to save anyone, so she just agreed without any objections. Mark and Dan realised all that, and they understood her sadness, so they too didn't object.

Their loneliness have been interrupted. The dead bodies were crowded around them and three of them pushed the parts that they were hiding under. As the three of them were sitting on the floor and surprised, they weren't able to defend the first attack. The three bodies threw themselves on the three normal people, and the crowd followed. The three friends were lucky to to have a knife, which cut the head of one of the dead and the arm of another and the leg of the last, which helped them to escape in time. The dead bodies were really weak as they have died before, but they kept on returning to life again. Lily and the two men went through the passages in the morgue killing whatever was in their way, till they landed their eyes on both Jack and Thomas. When they got nearer, they found that the dead bodies were getting angrier and savager. Lily could see that Thomas was taking a weapon from a body near him and getting ready to attack. However, Jack was already armed too, and none of the three friends were armed, except Lily.

She kept killing the dead bodies between them and Jack and Thomas. The dead bodies were very savage by then, and she could barely complete. However, Mark realised that, and requested taking the knife from her. She agreed tiredly, and he started killing by himself. The dead bodies were soon dead, and there was not a single creature between them and the two brothers. Mark stood and saw that Thomas and Jack got ready with the swords in their hands. Lily and Dan realised that the dead bodies stood around Thomas, Jack, and Mark motionless. It was weird, but it seemed as if this fight was important; As if the whole morgue was protecting the new dead bodies and that those two were the most important ones in the whole morgue.

As planned, Mark started by attacking Jack, but Thomas stopped him. Mark could realise that they were stronger than all the other dead bodies. Maybe because they were freshly dead. Thought Mark. He fought a lot, but he was going weaker. Dan saw that, so he moved in the latest time. A leg from his two legs went directly towards Thomas's face. Thomas got distracted, and Mark realised that. He attempted to attacked Jack in time, but Jack defended. As this happened, Thomas suddenly froze. Dan realised that, so he didn't attack him again. Now it became a 1v1 fight between Mark and Jack. The problem is that Mark had a knife, while Jack had a sword! Mark suddenly remembered that he is fighting his friend, his best friend in the police station. They both were policemen, and they were the very best friends. He then remembered the words of Toby about if he wanted to return Jack to life, he should kill him and his killer. He became more aware and more powerful, and concentrated only on winning...

The first one to attack was Jack, as Mark was deep in his thoughts. Mark suddenly got conscious again, but it was too late. He got the hit of the sword on his left arm. He screamed in agony and let his arm fall. The three friends suddenly heard the BOOO that the dead bodies said, and Mark saw Jack smirking. This rose Mark's furiousness a lot, and led him to attack Jack right in the arm with his knife. The sound of the dead bodies stopped; actually, the sound of the whole morgue stopped; again. Mark realised that Jack's eyes became red, totally red!! He held the knife carefully with his right hand, and focused all his senses on killing Jack.

Jack attacked with his sword, but Mark was fast in defence, then Mark attacked Jack with his left leg in Jack's stomach. This made Jack go backwards in pain, which gave Mark a chance. He attacked with his knife Jack's neck, which threw Jack head away. Jack stood still, headless. Mark lowered his arm, and Lily vomited in the seen, while Dan hid his eyes by his hands. Jack's sword suddenly fell from his hand, then he rose his right hand above his neck by about ten centimetres, then he fell on the ground.

"What does this mean??!!" Said Mark. "What are you talking about? Did Jack give the hint?" Asked Lily. "Yes. He rose his... Ooo, yes. He meant that his father is the one who killed him." Answered Mark. "His father? You mean this one running there?" Asked Dan. "Yes, this is my father. Let us go to him before Jack wakes up. I could see the dead bodies searching for his head to return it. LET'S HURRY!!" said Lily. "No, you two search for the door, and I will kill your father. Go now! We don't want to waste time." Said Mark while going towards Lily's father. She had no choice but to do as Mark said, and she went to search for the door and distract the dead bodies from Jack's head.

When she saw Jack's head in their way, she requested Dan to take it. When he did, he saw that it was disappearing in his hands. "What the hell is going on?!!" Asked Dan. "I guess... Mark did it. Jack is back to life!!!" Said Lily happily. She ran back to the place where they were and saw that Jack was on the ground and the dead bodies were about to kill him again. She and Dan attacked the dead bodies and pulled Jack with them and away from the dead bodies. "I know where the door is... Just... Follow my instructions..." Said Jack in a low and weak voice. They helped him in standing on his legs and he took the lead, while they took the defence. After half an hour, they were in front of the door. It seemed that the dead bodies couldn't reach it; as if a transparent wall was preventing them from getting near to it. Dan, feeling happy that he will finally go out, was reaching the door to open it. "DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR!!! IF YOU DID, YOU WILL GO TO THE NON-MATTER WORLD, AND YOU WON'T GET OUT EXCEPT IF YOU WERE SO POWERFUL!!!" said Jack as loud as he could. "How do you know all that?!" Asked Lily. "Easy.. When you become a dead body, you know everything about this morgue." Answered Jack. "We should jump to the roof and get out of all this thing." Said Jack after about 5 seconds of rest. They helped him go up, and then Lily went, and Jack helped Dan to come at last. They jumped on the other side of the morgue to see that they came on the land of the real world at last. "Awesome, you came safe" said Toby, who was still sitting in his same place. Lily said, ignoring Toby: "But where is Mark?!!"...….............
