this shit,” Frank replied.
    “When we are safely out of London we have to tell everyone,” Jack told him.
    A worried looking Frank replied, “Is that a good idea?” he asked.
    “NO, but it is the right thing to do, they stayed they deserve to know the truth,” Jack answered.
    Jack stood up, “Where are you going?” Frank asked him.
    “To eat something and try to get some sleep,” Jack simply replied.
    Jack walked over to the silver packets, one packet was already open, he removed a cracker and took a bite, and he took a bottle of water and took a long drink.  As he placed the bottle back down he looked over to see Elle laying there looking at him, she smiled and reached her hand out. He looked at her beautiful dark eyes, she had tied her dark hair back, but the freckles that covered her face always hypnotized him. Jack joined her, he lay next to her, “Do you mind if I get close, it’s cold,” she asked. Jack smiled and laid his arm out; she rested her head on it and cozied up next to him, Jack stared at the ceiling and closed his eyes.
     
     

CHAPTER TWO
    PAIGE
    “Holy shit,” a voice screamed out.
    Jack opened his eyes to see panic around him, he looked around the room to see Frank and Bray braced against the steel door. Jack jumped to his feet to help them, as he rushed to help them, he could see the wall around the door starting to crack. 
    “There must be hundreds of them out there,” Bray observed while pushing against the door.
    Jack pushed his back against the door, “Frank, we need to start getting everyone down the tunnel now,” Jack told him.
    “You should lead them out,” Frank told him.
    “No, you’re in command,” Jack replied, trying to help Frank become the leader he needed to be.
    “As soon as we are down there I want you two right behind us, no matter what,” Frank ordered them.
    Frank rushed to the metal door in the floor, he found the round handle and twisted it, and a loud unlocking noise echoed around the room, he pulled the door open. Looking down, he could see emergency lighting in the tunnel, he grabbed his backpack and picked up his rifles, “Everyone, take what you need and move down, quickly,” he rushed everyone.
    Frank was the first down the steps, a thick layer of dust covered the ground, cobwebs were scattered around the ceiling. He walked along the tunnel; in the distance, he could see a large metal door. Ryan, Elle and Zoe were first to join him, they followed him down the tunnel; they stopped when a loud crashing noise echoed above them.
    Mark stood on the steps holding the metal door, waiting for Jack, Bray and David to join him. David rushed around looking for a weapon, “Just come on!” Mark shouted to him.
    Bray and Jack held the door, but the bricks around the door were cracking, eventually the door gave way. Jack grabbed Bray pulling him back out of the way; he pushed him towards the tunnel entrance. Jack pulled his machete from his side and started swinging at the first rotting corpse heading his way. The groaning of the dead and the shouting of the living echoed the room, Bray pushed Mark down the steps, Jack was being forced back by the dead marching towards him, “David, fucking move it!” Jack shouted to him.
    David stood with his back against the wall; frozen stiff with fear. Jack tried, but could not reach him; Jack reached the tunnel and looked back at David, he watched as the dead marched towards them both. Jack wanted to help him, but knew there was no way to reach him, David backed up into the corner of the room. Jack looked at David and locked eyes with him; he could see the fear in David’s eyes and the guilt of what he had to do next made him feel sick to the stomach. Zombies scrambled over each other to get to Jack, he took one last look and knew he had no choice, he stepped down, slamming the metal door behind him, and he pushed over the big metal bolt to lock it.
    Jack stepped on the ground, Bray and Mark looked at him as the sound
