"Doctors Alice Reid and Paige Sharp, I presume," Colonel Black said smoothly.
"Yes, these are my colleagues," replied Doctor Fry, her voice soft and measured.
Alice's and Paige's footsteps seemed to sync as they exited the elevator with Doctor Fry's sisters in tow, their movements in time despite their individual strides.
"We have five more coming up behind us," Fry added.
"Five more?" Black muttered to himself, brows furrowed in confusion. "I was only aware of the two of you and your siblings. Who are these new additions?" he asked as he raised one eyebrow.
"Yes, these are my colleagues," Doctor Fry stated.
The Colonel flips open a data pad and reads over details related to our mission for a few moments.
Doctor Fry sighs, "They are part of my staff. Unlike the rest of the world, we've been hard at work. That requires personnel beyond Doctor Reid and myself."
The Colonel nods, "I see. Well, our ride back will be tight. Remember to follow all my commands and don't hesitate for a single second. I'll get you to safety."
I had to step aside with Armstrong and Adams to allow room for the elevator doors to open again. We waited as the elevator descended once more. Only a few moments pass before the elevator returns. Four women, an auburn-haired woman, a blonde, a brunette, and a dark black-haired woman, eagerly leave the elevator to stand behind Doctor Fry's siblings. Like them, they were breathtakingly gorgeous.
I soon discovered that the other four people were the younger siblings of each Doctor. In all, there were nine of them. Doctors Fry, Sharp, and Ried had two younger sisters apiece. That was more than a coincidence, as they were nearly the same age. They had to be critical to the mission in some way and to humanity's survival. Whether they were there to provide protection or simply needed to survive the ordeal was still unclear to me. All I knew was that their presence made me uneasy.
As I am accustomed to noticing detail, I read the name taken of the two women wearing lab coats. I quickly noticed the red-haired Doctor Alice Reid is related to the blonde Doctor, despite the differences in their hair colors. However, I see the same with the other women present. It seems we were assigned the responsibility of evacuating three distinct families.
Doctors Alice Reid and Paige Sharp turned to face the others. Alice's long, curly blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, while Paige's dark hair was cut short but still had enough length to frame her delicate, young-looking face. Both had a soft, elegant charm and a peaceful presence that was almost soothing to be around. Both wore tight-fitting scrubs with the medical logo on them. Paige's had a slight tear in the fabric over her right thigh but was otherwise intact, while Alice's were spotless.
Doctor Alice Reid's vibrant green eyes matched her stunning allure. The brunette Doctor Paige Sharp's honey-gold eyes were captivating to behold. Both had a hefty bust, an hourglass body, and a plump rump. The women possess stunning, robust thick thighs and gymnasts' legs. They appeared to be more than just attractive females; they were gorgeous, almost ethereal beings that could easily captivate and interest both men and women.
They stood at a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 6 six inches, respectively, with their long, silky blonde and brunette locks framing their enchanting features. Doctor Alice Reid's fair skin looked ethereal. At the same time, Doctor Paige Sharp's honey-brown complexion was captivating, her flawless beauty accentuated by her smooth, golden-brown shoulders, tanned legs, and toned abdomen. Both had an air of regal elegance about them, with an air of grace and confidence exuding from them like an aura that commanded others' respect. Doctor Alice Reid ported a cute pair of glasses, but they didn't dim her alluring beauty. In fact, they seemed to enhance it.
The blonde had silky-smooth, golden hair that fell in soft waves down her back. She wore fitted deep blue scrubs that hugged every curve of her hips and thighs, accentuating her curves to their fullest. The brunette featured wavy, honey-colored hair and rocked sexy, fitted dark burgundy scrubs designed with a plunging neckline to show off her impressive bust and high-heeled sandals that complemented her trim legs and slender feet. In addition, the brunette Doctor Paige Sharp woman had a petite hourglass figure with narrow shoulders and slim hips. At the same time, Doctor Alice Reid, the blonde, possessed a more voluptuous but very slender Coke bottle figure with a fuller bust and rounded hips accentuating Doctor Paige Sharp's curves. Both women kept striking beauty and captivating physiques, making them quite the pair of sights in this otherwise dark and dreary lab.
The quartet of dark-haired and red-haired women, the four women waiting behind them, appear to be nurses. They wait calmly while the Colonel converses with the three doctors as they prepare to depart. The nurses are equally attractive to their doctor counterparts, with impressive features. Once again, I carefully read their name tags with my sharp eyes. According to their name tags, the dark-haired nurses are Melissa Sharp and Maddie Sharp. Both nurses are similarly gorgeous, with striking features. They have long, hanging black hair that swings around their face in a gentle flurry of motion with crystal gray eyes. On the other hand, the other two nurses, Candace Reid and Jamie Reid, have medium-length curly strands of auburn hair, forming a bouncy halo that frames their delicate faces and highlights their sparkling ocean-blue eyes.
The four nurses step forward as one of them introduces themselves. "Hello, Colonel," Candace says, bowing respectfully while simultaneously flashing a charming smile. "I'm Nurse Candace, and these are Nurses Melissa Sharp, Maddie Sharp, and Jamie Ried. We came to meet with our siblings a few weeks ago from Boston. Before we knew it, we had to lock down to ensure our safety. I am sure that is the reason your information seems off. We restricted our communication to the essentials, with no room for small talk or unnecessary details."
As she speaks, Melissa nods in recognition and offers a shy wave in greeting. She stands quietly, her eyes casting around to take in the surroundings. Behind her, the Colonel nods politely in response to their introduction and gestures for the group to follow.
"Hmm... I understand. This... situation has forced all of us to act in ways outside the norm," the Colonel said.
The elevator went down and came up one more time. The last person stepped out of the elevator. The woman is identical to Doctor Fry, but simultaneously, she is similar to Doctor Reid and Sharp. She was like a mixture of all three, and you could tell.
"This is Doctor Elle Reid," Doctor Fry said.
Colonel Black rechecked his datapad. Judging from the look on his countenance, it appeared that she had not been included in the roster. It was pretty apparent that the Colonel was experiencing a great deal of frustration. Getting to Bellevue would become difficult due to the influx of these new civilians.
With a look of curiosity, Armstrong directed his gaze toward me. Our thoughts were quite alike as if we were on the same wavelength. It is quite challenging to fathom that Colonel Black had no knowledge of their existence in this location. Nevertheless, our observations have indeed revealed that to be the case. None of this was included in the plan. 'The question was, were they psychic like Doctor Fry and her sisters?' I was betting they were.
Doctor Fry's sisters opted for a comfortable and practical sleepwear ensemble. They chose to wear nightgowns paired with boy shorts underneath, ensuring that they could move around freely during the night while maintaining a level of modesty. It was not possible for them to put on appropriate clothing since they did not have time. Whatever drove them into the panic room happened fat and in the middle of the night. It was audible that Colonel Black had cleared his throat.
"If you have any go bags, you better get them now. Gather what you can now. In five minutes, we're leaving. Adams and Armstrong secure a vehicle outside. Detective Giannetti, you're with me," Black ordered.
The two soldiers crept out of the building and made their way toward one of the abandoned cars on the street. There was plenty outside from the looks of things. Clearly, this area had been abandoned, not only by the lack of activity but also by the number of abandoned vehicles littering the streets. While the VIPs gathered what they could, I posted up by the second-story window overlooking the street below. I had a clear path to the first floor as well. Adams and Armstrong kept their heads down, trying not to call attention to themselves. I watched as Armstrong tried the handles of a few of the cars, eventually finding one that was unlocked. Adams gets in and quickly turns the car on, leaving the headlights off. The two soldiers rapidly drove the vehicle to the front of the home, behind the Humvee.
A flash catches my sight down the road from where we came. I spotted Collins swivel around the fifty-caliber turret and let loose. "Colonel! Contact!" I barked over the radio.
I used the butt of my rifle to shatter the glass and went to work lying down, suppressing fire. The sound of shattering glass came from the floor above, followed by a barrage of gunfire at the other end of the street. I hear the Colonel on the floor above yelling at the civilians.
"Get ready to move out, ASAP!" Colonel Black barked over the comms.
I let off a few more rounds before running down the stairs. Black was hot on my heels with the VIPs behind him. I took the left flank of the front door just in time to shred several of those undead freaks. Adams opened the door to the newly acquired blue Audi SUV while Armstrong pulled up in another green BMW SUV. Colonel Black went to work providing cover from the opposite side of the street as the civilians piled into the open vehicles. Once they were in, Black padded me on the back, and I raced to the second green SUV, and he got in the blue one. Seconds later, the Humvee was speeding down the road with us right on their bummer.
